		<description>&lt;p&gt;Fascinating.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And she’s not Hillary.&lt;br /&gt;
Hillary works on behalf of families and children.&lt;br /&gt;
Wow, that is one interesting (sad) story about Comstock.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Reminds me of a local story:  A few years ago the city mayor* had lost quite a bit of weight after she had starting running/exercise with a new husband &amp; switched parties!  She made the observation that inside every fat Democrat there is a skinny Republican trying to get out.   Well her weight has yo-yo’d dramatically over the years with another new marriage.  Whenever I think of this remark, it is shockingly dumb in its impact…insult to almost all people.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like the Comstock story, it all makes me wonder what goes on in the brains of these people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*That would be Scott Mc’s mother.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I hope that you are correct.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;plunger, thanks for a comment that really does seem fact-based and focuses on the specific, documented history of Comstock.  I read that item by Digby some years back, and it really jolted me. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These women have been repudiated, they may be taking financial hits, and they probably have too much time on their hands.  They remind me of a timber rattler in autumn: pissed off, hungry, and vicious.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It is interesting to evaluate if there are more obese people living in the odor area….. specific food can generate hunger such as smelling fresh baked bread….&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I think this quote from TPM is worth repeating:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“In his 2002 book, Blinded By The Right, David Brock painted a vivid picture of Comstock’s obsessive zeal to bring down the Clintons:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Late night calls from Barbara Comstock were not unusual. She often telephoned with the latest tidbit she had dug up in the thousands and thousands of pages of administration records she pored through frantically as if she were looking for a winning lottery ticket she had somehow mislaid … She once dropped by my house to watch the rerun of a dreadfully dull Whitewater hearing she had sat through all day. Comstock sat on the edge of her chair shaking, and screaming over and over again, “Liars!” As Constock’s leads failed to pan out, and she was unable to catch anyone in a lie, the Republican aide confided that the Clinton scandals were driving her to distraction, to the unfortunate point that she was ignoring the needs of her own family. A very smart lawyer by training and the main breadwinner for her charismatic, happy-go-lucky husband and kids, Comstock remarked that maybe she couldn’t get Hillary’s sins off her brain because “Hillary reminds me of me. I am Hillary.” In this admission, a vivid illustration of a much wider “Hillary” phenomenon can be seen. Comstock knew nothing about Hillary Clinton. Comstock’s “Hillary” was imaginary, a construction composed entirely of the negative points in her own life.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>
