-Caveat Lector- HILLARY CLINTON CONJURES (WITH) THEODORA ======================================== (CNNS, 02/15/99) -- In another part of the building, Hillary Clinton does her necromancy. She summons the departed spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt. Hillary *coniuret cum* Eleanor: --- HILLARY: Speak to me, oh Eleanor. Come forth! ELEANOR ROOSEVELT: I am here. HILLARY: Speak, Sister, as you wish. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT: It was first Teddy. It was second Franklin. It is third William Jefferson. In the beginning was Theodore. (We called him "Teddy.") Mightily troubled by Ida Tarbell was the State. Mightily troubled by Josiah Flynt was the State. Mightily troubled by Lincoln Steffens was the State. They came from nowhere, and plaugued the New Money. They were of the Old Money. They were of the impoverished gentility, and they linked arms with the workers and frightful unrest was seen. (This happened in the "Wild, Wild East," of which movies are not made.) But Teddy rode the wave, and directed the wave, and finally turned the wave into nothing. HILLARY: The post office must never, =ever=, have a stamp to honor Ida Tarbell! ELEANOR ROOSEVELT: Then came Franklin. Again there was unrest. But Franklin rode the wave, and directed the wave, and finally turned the wave into nothing. HILLARY: A fellow named Skolnick also sneers at Franklin. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT: Then came the 1960s, and once more there was upheaval. And the death of John Kennedy did not still the unrest. But William Jefferson now rides the wave, and directs the wave, and finally the wave turns into nothing. HILLARY: Sister, I am troubled though by the sexual wanderings of William Jefferson. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT: I too had my troubles with Franklin. So I wandered likewise. On March 5, 1943, I secretly rendezvoused with Joe Lash at the Urbana-Lincoln Hotel in Urbana, Illinois. HILLARY: Yes, I too had rendezvouses. Vince and I had our times. But now he's dead. Maybe I should turn to women. Will that satisfy me? ELEANOR ROOSEVELT: I myself was so lonesome, I was tempted. In fact.... fact.... I am fading. Another spirit seeks control. I am fading.... THEODORA: ....I gain control! It is I, Theodora!! HILLARY: And what can you tell me? THEODORA: I can tell you plenty, yellow-hair. HILLARY: Begone, whoever you are. THEODORA: First, I will beguile you, yellow-hair, with a tale. I was but a child when our father died. I was the second daughter, of three. In our poverty, we were paraded into the circus, begging alms. The Green Party ridiculed us; the Blue Party was kind. I have forevermore been of the Blue Party. I was but a child. I had not yet the womanly equipment. I served as a boy prostitute, until my equipment had matured. I served sex to even the slaves, in my child days. I became an actress, and skilled I was. And I lay with more men than you can count -- some nights, ten men together. I went away with an important man, away from Byzantium. But that man abandoned me and I was left without a farthing in a foreign land. But I know men and I know what they like. I soon had plenty of money. I returned to Byzantium and used my magic on Justinian. He fell madly in love and I became his queen. Together we ruled the world. And here begins the politics of my story. For by now I had withered up inside, and lusted only for power. HILLARY: You sound like a nymphomaniac. My husband is a satyromaniac. THEODORA: (Belches.) Ha-ha-ha! You talk the priest-language. They too use the mystery words. Be silent, yellow-hair. I will finish my tale. It was in the conception of *money* as an abstract, disconnected from the fruitful earth, that the Romans had the advantage of the Greeks. Thenceforth any high ideal of life became mostly a question of money. To the world-city, yellow-hair, belongs not a folk but a mass: The *panem et circunses* (bread and circuses) by day and the cheap lodging houses by night. The new power was in the money. It was in the money power that the historical forms were penetrated, often without destroying or even disturbing those forms. The *form* of the Roman state, yellow-hair, underwent very little change. The forms subsisted, but the decisions in fact lay elsewhere. The Roman world dominion was a negative phenomenon. The Romans did not conquer the world, they only took possession of booty that already lay open to all. The *Imperium Romanum* was not a surplus of energy on one side, but a deficiency of energy on the other. Rome did not conquer; Rome absorbed the weaker. HILLARY: So Rome was just a bunch of organized robbers? THEODORA: The booty lay open to all! By her superior cunning, Rome did conquer! Beneath my royal apartments lay dungeons. I secretly threw into those dungeons the many who displeased me. Many were the cruelties I exacted, yellow-hair. Buzes I sent into my secret dungeons, and he sat in darkness for 28 months, never knowing if it were day or night. HILLARY: We now keep them in constant daylight. THEODORA: Learn from me, yellow-hair! None was more feared than I, not even Justinian. But a cancer at last gnawed at me, and at 45 years I died. HILLARY: Did you at last, at your end, grow merciful? THEODORA: I did not! As Greece subsumed into Rome, I subsumed into Byzantium. I was eaten up more by the State than by the cancer. In the end, I was already long-dead. Learn from me, yellow-hair!
