Opinion: Her Hitler hairdo is making me feel ill

I thoroughly enjoyed this week’s LA Weekly cover story/profile/Q&A with ‘80s mope-rocker-turned unnaturalized Angeleno Morrissey, as conducted by Kate Sullivan. The best part of the interview is not the politics, but since we yammer about politics here, and since there’s a delicious demonstration of Godwin’s Law therein, read a funny exchange after the jump in which Our Moz interrogates his interlocutor on the 2008 presidential race.
From the interview:
A: So, who would you like to see in the White House? Q: I actually would like to see Hillary Clinton. A: Because? Q: Because, well, I’d like to see a woman, but the best president that I have lived under was Bill Clinton, even though he wasn’t perfect by any means. A: But haven’t we had enough of the Clintons? Q: She might be better than him. A: Well, that’s very likely, but nonetheless, haven’t we had enough of the name? Q: Okay. Well, Barack Obama? A: Outstanding. Q: I don’t know enough about him. A: Outstanding. Q: He is really good. A: Mesmerizing, yes. Q: He could be president, and she could be vice president. A: Well. [Laughs.] That suits me. Of course, it would be great to see a female president, but not just anybody. I mean, I think that Hillary has had her shot. She’s been around, she said a lot of silly things, and we don’t really want a woman for the sake of any old woman. Q: I know, like Condoleezza Rice. A: Well, it would never happen. Because she has the sag of cruelty about her face, her eyes, her mouth. The jowl of cruelty. She has a Nazi face.
Reading it over again, I’m now not sure which one Morrissey says has the Nazi face -- Condi or Hilli? Both?
James Burkee made the case for anyone-but-Clinton (or Bush) last month. And Opinion Contributing Editor Gustavo Arellano busted with the definitive why-Latinos-heart-Morrissey explanation back in 2002.
