My mate asked me to read a piece in the New York Post. This doesn't happen very often. In fact it has never happened. The sole reason for reading the post is the Sudoku puzzle on the train.
I read the article.
It, not unexpectedly, skeeved me out.
Here is a link to Cindy Adams piece.
The article was an interview by Cindy Adams (long time NY gossip columnist) of Carly Fiorina in Fiorina's car.
In the article, Fiorina went on at length about her secretive underground movement on behalf of john McCain. Fiorina is talking in the first part of the quote below, the question is Cindy Adams' follow up.
I am infiltrating the Democratic Party. Going behind the lines. However, I'm not an enemy. I'm helping them. They're welcoming me, delighted to learn about issues that concern women. Especially the economy. After all, women start small businesses. And, don't forget, we women are the majority."
So Hillary knows this?
Fiorina then tries to argue for, "the secret order of PUMAs as run by the phantasmagorical democratic campaign in exile" which you can imagine and I don't need to quote.
She goes on about how she (Fiorina) is responsible for a recent gallup bounce then she says this particularly creepy bit:
"We're co-opting Democratic operatives who will not be turning out votes for Obama. The Democrats will realize how effective we were the day after the election. And lots of the big-time organizing and heavy-duty financing for our singular effort has come through the fine hand of people very well known to Mrs. Clinton."
If this is a direct quote then she is going on the record saying the Republican party is using its volunteers to supress voter turnout rather than to actively work for John McCain.
I have a hard time believing they have enough volunteers to start using the ones they have on secret missions.
Is this just another presentation of McCain's great mythical beast : the invisible, immortal PUMA?
Or is Fiorina talking about something potentially real?
