Hillary Romney Clinton?
---
George Will, on Mitt "Null Set" Romney's soulless "et tu" abandonment of Larry Craig:
Clinton has been running for president since December 2000, and every step of the way she too has been "synthetic and excessively calculating." From carpetbagging her way into New York State to preposterously being assigned to the Armed Services Committee and beyond — her every move has been determined by a singular goal: to be elected president.
Romney and Clinton: The "politician similarities" swamp the "policy differences."* They are the same poison, just differently administered.
What will it say about our politics, our parties and our electorate if these two unashamed moral defectives wind up being the nominees in 2008?
You don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Romney thread here; Clinton thread here.

*And just what are those "policy differences" anyway? Not socialized medicine — they're both for it while laughably insisting they're not. And need we bring up their respective woo-then-betray manipulation of gays?
If Romney fails to translate his intelligence and accomplishments into the Republican nomination, one reason will be the suspicion that there is something synthetic and excessively calculating about every move in his increasingly embarrassing courtship of those who are called "values voters."That is exactly right. It would also be exactly right to say much the same about Hillary Clinton.
