from: CAPITOL LETTER
Eleanor Clift
Settling Scores
If Hillary Clinton finds a way to win, she'll have a long list of grudges and grievances.
I'm beginning to think Hillary Clinton might pull this off and wrestle the nomination away from Barack Obama. If she does, a lot of folks—including a huge chunk of the media—will join Bill Richardson (a.k.a. Judas) in the Deep Freeze. If the Clintons get back into the White House, it will be retribution time, like the Corleone family consolidating power in "The Godfather," where the watchword is, "It's business, not personal."
Strong words from someone so firmly in the O'Tank, and someone I've been very disappointed with this primary season. Clift has joined the all-women anti-women roost populated by the likes of Dowd and Althouse, but I digress.
A careful reading of the novel reveals one of the finest books every written about management. It also helps explain why people sometimes tend to trust criminals more than they should. Like Vito Corleone, some less than stellar individuals understand a central fact of humanity-- there's no such thing as "it's just business." Everything-- everything-- is personal, and we all take every event that way. Few of us can be dispassionate, for istance, when the boss walks in and says "Son, gonna have to let you go. We're downsizing. Sorry, but it's just business."
All Bubbas understand this. Most of us have been there. It is all personal. Andthey do, in fact, "feel our pain."
