Hillary Vows To Ignore "Elite Math" In Primary Race

At a town hall meeting in Pinehurst, North Carolina Senator Hillary Clinton told a crowd of about one-hundred that she wouldn't be beholden to the 'elitist cult of mathematicians and numerologists' when it came to deciding the winner of Democratic primary race. In response to a question about articles suggesting the mathematical impossibility of her winning the race, a visibly populist Senator Clinton lashed out at what she called 'math-a-cators and math-er-bators'.

"For too long now, the elites who do the adding and multiplying and goes-intas has let their smart alec numbers keep down the little people like you and me," Clinton told the group, which consisted mostly of a local "Over-Sixty-But-Still-Sexy" group. "Bills come in the mail, full of numbers and confusing symbols. They say they want to determine this election by adding up the number of voters and states won and delegates and superdelegtes and all confusing manner of hokum but I'm not listening to those who count the Numbers Of The Beast because I'm so busy fighting for you!"

Clinton then pointed to the questioner, who wore glasses, and yelled "Math lover!" The crowd suddenly coiled as one; a beast with two-hundred furious eyes and four-hundred talons that ripped off the man's limbs and left his body twisted and crumpled on the ground. The mob pelted his twitching remains with bowling balls and copies of Senator Clinton's book It Takes A Village.

Reports from the victim's family suggest he had no particular affinity for math but was, in fact, slightly nearsighted.

Numerologists? What next, will Hillary be calling the national Science Foundation a bunch of alchemists?

Note to Hillary: the book you write after losing the nomination should be called "It Takes an Idiot."

It Takes A Village Idiot?

Friggin A. I don't need no fancy pants guys with their calculators, pencils and computers tryin to tell me that lowering the price a gas won't lower it!
I'm gettin sick and damn tired of these mathemagicians and college boys tryin to tell me how to live. You don't need no fancy algebra to know things around here are messed up. We need someone who's gonna get to fixin it fast and dirty.

Hillary burned her "alge-bra" back around 1968!

That's a smear on one tough lady. She's ready to obliterate pencil pushers on day one at 3:00 AM because she's crossed the commander in chief threshold.

I'm so sick of her. Just plain damned tired-to-the-bone sick of her.

Any post about math gets my recommendation.

I'd also recommend this post from jedreport:

"And here is where we have the bitter irony: the entire point of all the bloviating about "respecting the vote" in Michigan and Florida is to give Clinton a better shot at overturning the will of the people." http://www.jedreport.com/2008/05/michigan-florid.html

Hillary is right to be suspicious of mathematicians. They are just evil terrorists that hate us for our freedoms (and our pocket calculators).

We need to conquer and occupy the entire Middle East because that is the ancestral home of that horrible math-terrorist organization Al-Gebra. If we don't fight them there, they will follow us here and unleash upon us their weapons of math instruction (WMI's).

We will settle for no less than complete victory. We will fight them for 100(ish) years if necessary.

I've been here for awhile but never posted before.

"Little people like you and me?"

You have got to be kidding me.

That'll show those pointyheads.

This and the gas tax takes pandering to levels I have never seen before.

Give me a break.
