Predictions R Us

October 22, 2007 - 8:43 am - by Roger L Simon

As if I haven’t made enough of a fool of myself in my life, I am now in the prediction business on Pajamas. If I turn out to be right on this, I may even grow a white beard aè la Nostradamus. If I’m wrong… well… I’ll …. deny the whole thing and say I was misunderstood. How’s that?

    oh now, not Hillary??? Say it ain’t so, Roger.

    I’m betting on Giuliani myself.

    Why? He is genial. He is cheerful. He smiles without fakery.

    Hillary has cold, unsmiling eyes. Jon Stewart’s bit on her ‘laugh’ was a killer for her, because it reaches her constituency.

    On the other hand, given a Hillary loss, I will bet on an Obama win in 2012.

  2. Depending on how you define victory this may not be bad predictions. Iraq will have a government closely aligned with Iran or it will not have a stable government, however. Hillary is the favorite to win on the theory that the candidate perceived as most centrist wins, a moderate Republican or Democratic candidate. She is not my choice but as the most conservative Democrat running and only flawed Republican conservatives running….

    Are you now willing to admit, in the words of Malcolm X, – “You’ve been had. You’ve been took. You’ve been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok.” By your new conservative friends regarding Valerie Plame?

    She was an undercover CIA asset working for the operations desk, not on the analytical side. She had spent over six years overseas including fairly recently before being hung out. She was working to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Only by stretching the term beyond recognition can anyone say she sent her husband on the trip. Before she had gone under cover as a NOC, in her safer position under diplomatic cover, she was captured and tortured for two days. Exposing her to get back at a Bush critic seems like treason to me. Assets she had deployed against foreign governments have been harmed by her exposure. But, as we have seen in many other cases, if you are critical of Bush the response has been to hit back hard at the critic and the critic’s family.

    Cheers, since you do not seem to affected by Clinton derangement syndrome maybe you will come back to the center.
