Why is Big Media pushing Liddy Dole on the eve of the impeachment

Ah, those Trilateralists at work again...
I suppose they're thinking that the election of a Bush is just a
little too obvious for a public, enlightened by internet discussion,
to swallow.
Not at all, they are simply fieling their players. Jr. Dole, Smith, and
whoever else will jump in are presenting themselves to their potential
backers. This is the way it's always done.
And curious about the "woman" thing. In Arizona, four of the five
women are Republicans. Women can get elected but the biggest factor
in their favor appears to be an "unwoman;y" ability to be
"tough"--the Margaret Thatcher Factor.
In a world of stinking male politicians, feilding a woman is a good
tactic.
Just searching the brain files and seeming to remember that the Red
Cross was also implicated in tainted blood supplies at some point.
Anyone remember?
Something related to aids I believe. I don't think Dole was in charge
then. The Red Cross job was to keep her in a high profile elite
institution until the right time presented itself. It looks like now
is the time.
Liddy Dole as Madame President with Bobby as First Husband is truly a
weird idea. Unfortunately, it might be just the weird idea for weird
times.

Don't forget that she is a Southern Belle from a wealthy upperclass
family, and ANOTHER HARVARD TRAINED LAWYER.

Part 2b- Elites and Institutions...
POWER --
Powerful persons are not powerful because they posess remarkable
qualities or skills, like intelligence, beauty, ambition, willingness to have sex,
or being somehow related to a powerful individual. All these things are
certainly helpful, but it is the attainment of the position ( of power ) itself that
gives an individual control over others.
INSITUTIONS --
instiòtuétion n.
1. an organization devoted to the promotion of a cause or
program, esp. one of a public character.
2. the building occupied by such an organization.
3. a place for the care or confinement of people, as mental patients.
4. any established law, custom, etc.
5. any familiar person, thing, or practice.ù instiòtuétionòal, adj.
" No one can be truly powerful unless he has access to the command of
major institutions, for it is over these institutional means of power that the
truly powerful are, in the first instance, powerful."
-- C. Wright Mills, author of " The Power Elite ".
" If we took the one hundred most powerful men in America, the one hundred
wealthiest, and the one hundred most celebrated away from the institutional
positions they now occupy, away from their resources of men and women
and money, away from the media of mass communication... then they would
be powerless and poor and uncelebrated. For power is
not of a man. Wealth does not center in the person of the wealthy. Celebrity
is not inherent in any personality. To be celebrated, to be wealthy , to have
power, requires access to major institutions, for the institutional positions
men occupy determine in large part their chances to have and to hold these
valued experiences." C. Wright Mills
While Mills keeps referring to men, this also applies to women opperating
in the world of power and institutions. Though it is clear that " power " is in
the realm of the masculine mystique.
An institution could be viewed as a large powerful machine. Using that
analogy, the head of an institution takes on the powers and abilities inherent
to that machine. For example; a human can't lift and transport 40 tons of
material at 65 miles per hour. But a truckdriver can.
A President, King, Dictator or General can subdue or kill a nation. A
Federal Reserve chairman can decide the value of your money. A boss can
decide whether not you will earn a living. Etc.
