“Fair Game” - Hillary’s lies about FALN pardons
Friday, May 2nd, 2008Watching the Hillary movie below I discovered that I was not as familiar with the details of the Clinton FALN pardons and how they benefited Hillary and her Senate Campaign. This clip is from the end of the Hillary movie. If you have not seen the movie and have the time I highly recommend watching. Now if you are a Hillary fan your head is certain to explode.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Fallout from President Clinton’s controversial pardons of 16 members of a Puerto Rican nationalist group last summer prompted Republicans Tuesday to introduce a measure to reform the pardon process and require input from victims and their families.
At a Capitol Hill news conference, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Rep. Vito Fossella (R-New York) announced the introduction of a measure requiring the Office of Pardon Attorney in the Justice Department to notify victims or their families of key events in the clemency process and allowing them to voice their views. It would also require law enforcement agencies to provide information on the potential impact from a grant of clemency.
President Clinton was widely criticized after he granted clemency to the FALN members over the objections of law enforcement officials, and after the Justice Department consulted representatives of the FALN prisoners, but not the victims.
Hatch and Fossella were flanked by the widow of one victim and the son of a second victim killed in the 1975 FALN bombing of a New York restaurant.
Justice Department officials say the proposed measure is unconstitutional because it would restrict powers granted exclusively to the president.
The sponsors insist the changes would not interfere with the chief executive’s decision making.
“The president will still be able to disregard the Pardon Attorney’s reports, use another agency, ask anyone in the world for advice, or exercise the ‘pardon power’ without anyone’s counsel, Hatch said.
Hatch said he expects the Justice Department to oppose the measure, but hopes to gain support from Democratic lawmakers.
Fossella rejected the notion the legislation is being introduced to embarrass Hillary Clinton’s bid for a Senate seat from New York.
“As far as Mrs. Clinton is concerned, this has nothing to do in my opinion with her candidacy for the Senate. This has everything to do with the privilege and power vested with the president of the United States that will long survive this campaign for the Senate,” Fossella said.
Joseph Connor, son of Frank Connor who died in the New York bombing, said he hopes something good finally comes from his father’s death.
“We’re hoping that we have made a difference here, and I believe we have through this bill. And maybe it can be a part of his legacy,” Connor said.
Diana Berger Ettenson whose husband was killed in the blast said she too hoped the measure would gain bipartisan support.
“I would urge people on both sides of the aisle to come together to do the right thing, and I would also urge future candidates for the office of president to think very carefully regarding this awesome power that is placed in their hands. This power of clemency is like no other power,” she said.

Clinton’s sympathy for Marxist terrorists
Between 1974 and 1985 the FALN (Puerto Rican Armed Forces of National Liberation) organized 120 terrorist bombings in the United States. Many Americans were killed in those bombings, and many more were crippled. In 1983, another Puerto Rican terrorist group known as the Macheteros, attacked and robbed a Wells Fargo armored car in Connecticut. The Macheteros intended to use the money to finance a terrorist campaign against the United States. Working under the cover of Puerto Rican nationalism and claiming to act on behalf of the “oppressed people of Puerto Rico,” the FALN and the Macheteros are nothing but Communist revolutionaries. Both groups were organized by Fidel Castro’s secret police. The ultimate goal of the FALN and the Macheteros is the creation of an independent Marxist-Leninist dictatorship on the island of Puerto Rico.
While Timothy McVeigh awaits execution and has no chance of receiving a pardon for his role in the Oklahoma City bombing, President Clinton has seen fit to pardon 11 FALN terrorists and five Macheteros who have been serving prison sentences in the United States. Some people are wondering why Clinton did this. It was not a popular move. What pressing political reason did Clinton have for releasing 16 Communist terrorists and revolutionaries from jail?

Bill Clinton Irritated by Race-Card Questions
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008From the NY Times Blog
Asked this morning about comments he made yesterday in which he told a radio interviewer that the Obama campaign played the “race card on me” during the South Carolina primary, former President Bill Clinton batted back a reporter today and basically denied the interpretation.Here’s today’s exchange with Mike Memoli, of NBC and the National Journal, and Mr. Clinton:
#####
On WHHY radio yesterday, Susan Phillips (no relation) talked to him about how some African-American officials in Philadelphia switched their early support from his wife to Senator Obama after Mr. Clinton compared Mr. Obama’s win in South Carolina to that of Jesse Jackson’s. Ms. Phillips cited one official’s concerns that Mr. Clinton had “marginalized Mr. Obama as the black candidate.”

Bill Clinton Flashback: “All These Economically Insecure White People…Are Scared To Death”
Monday, April 14th, 2008Typical Democrats!
“The reason (George H. W. Bush’s tactic) works so well now is that you have all these economically insecure white people who are scared to death,” Clinton was quoted saying by the Los Angeles Times in September 1991.
A couple months later, Joe Klein, writing for the Sunday Times, reported that Clinton made the following remarks:
“You know, he [Bush] wants to divide us over race. I’m from the South. I understand this. This quota deal they’re gonna pull in the next election is the same old scam they’ve been pulling on us for decade after decade after decade. When their economic policies fail, when the country’s coming apart rather than coming together, what do they do? They find the most economically insecure white men and scare the living daylights out of them. They know if they can keep us looking at each other across a racial divide, if I can look at Bobby Rush and think, Bobby wants my job, my promotion, then neither of us can look at George Bush and say, ‘What happened to everybody’s job? What happened to everybody’s income? What … have … you … done … to … our … country?’”
A common theme of Clinton’s back then
- Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, trying to convince Alabama Democrats to support his presidential bid, accused Republicans of trying to woo white voters by preying on unfounded racial fears.
Clinton told a meeting of the Alabama Democratic Party black caucus that Republicans “find the most economically insecure white folks and go scare the living daylights out of them.” — AP, October 13, 1991
- Why does the President refuse to let a civil rights bill pass? Because he knows that the people he is dependent on for his electoral majority — white working class men and women, mostly men, have had their incomes decline in the 1980s and they may return to their natural home, someone who offers them real economic opportunity. And so he is dredging up the same old tactic that the hard right has employed in my part of the country, in the South, since I was a child. When everything gets (hyped ?) and you think you’re going to lose those people, you find the most economically insecure white people and you scare the living daylights out of them. — Georgetown University, October 23, 1991
- 1,000 Illinois Democrats had gathered in Chicago for their annual fund-raising dinner. Clinton, 45, was determined to give them his best shot. And he did, vigorously attacking George Bush: ”You know, he wants to divide us over race. I’m from the South. I understand this,” Clinton croaked. ”This quota deal they’re gonna pull in the next election is the same old scam they’ve been pulling on us for decade after decade after decade. When their economic policies fail, when the country’s coming apart rather than coming together, what do they do? They find the most economically insecure white men and scare the living daylights out of them.” — Sunday Times, November 3, 1991
- “If you were in the do-nothing faction and you were about to get voted out, you just found the most economically insecure white people and scared the living hell out of them. We were raised on his. . . What did it do for us? Nothing. Kept us down. Kept us flat. All the progress we’ve made in the South, we’ve made since we started working together again.” — Houston Chronicle, June 7, 1992
Super Rich Clintons continue to bleed taxpayers
Friday, April 11th, 2008This from Red State

###
Sphere: Related ContentNot content to have parlayed their public service into great wealth, the Clintons continue to cost the taxpayers money. It seems that, despite having written a book on it, former President Clinton feels more comfortable getting paid for charity than giving it:
The Clintons have made a $100-million fortune since leaving the White House, but a Politico analysis found that hasn’t kept Bill Clinton from taking full advantage of the publicly funded perks offered to ex-presidents.
In fact, his presidential retirement benefits cost taxpayers almost as much as those of the other two living ex-presidents combined.
The price tag for Clinton’s federal retirement allowance from 2001 through the end of this year will run $8 million, compared to $5.5 million for George H. W. Bush’s and $4 million for Jimmy Carter’s during the same period.
If I had a nickel for every time Bill tells a lie….never mind a Democrat would tax it away!

Although I poke fun at folks on the left, I don’t begrudge leftist folks for airing their views in the never ending battle of ideas. However MSNBC does not even bother to hide their political leanings and is yet considered a credible political “news” resource.

I have a confession to make to my fellow conservatives: I don’t hate Bill Clinton.Don’t get me wrong. I have a pronounced animus toward his policies, what he stands for generally, and his scorched earth, take no prisoners, political attack dog style of politics.
But I have to admit to a sneaking admiration of Bill Clinton, as a man.
He isn’t someone I’d want to sit down and have a beer with. This is someone I’d love to go on a lost weekend with. He appeals to the juvenile in all of us men – a rogue’s rogue who I could see playing marathon poker games and going on weekend trips to Vegas. Good cigars, good whiskey, and of course, the guy is a chick magnet.
No, he’s no gentleman. But if I ever had an impulse to lose control and regress back to a time when I had few responsibilities and less judgement, I’d want Bill Clinton by me as combination sidekick and hedonistic guide.
And let the good times roll, brother Bill.
A “lost weekend” or two may actually be what his wife has in mind for him after what transpired in South Carolina. Bill Clinton didn’t cost his wife the South Carolina primary with his sometimes harsh and belittling criticism of Barack Obama. But almost all agree that he may have overplayed his position as a former president by getting down into the partisan trenches and throwing mud at Hillary’s opponent.

This article by Marty Peretz from The New Republic
Sphere: Related ContentBill Clinton dozed off at the Convent Avenue Baptist Church in Harlem just as his wife was receiving the endorsement (or, more properly, the blessing) of Calvin Butts at Abyssinian Baptist Church, eight or so blocks away. This church had been the pulpit of Adam Clayton Powell Jr. — “Mr. Jesus” to his congregation, member of Congress and husband to the politically fearless lefty (just one instance: as a witness before the House Un-American Activities Committees) and staggeringly sexual songstress of my youth, Hazel Scott, like Lena Horne. A randy fellow. I don’t think that black preachers have the sway they once had. Or white ministers, for that matter, except for those who are evangelicals and fundamentalists operating out of humongous mall churches.But back to the black ministers and their diminished sway. The decline of preacher power is a coming of age of the African-American population, much as it is among Irish and Italian Catholics or Jews or, for a demographically near-fatal shift, mainstream Protestants, who mostly and at best think their ministers are irrelevant. The black clerisy cannot any longer instruct its parishoners about their voting. It is an irony, of course, that the Harlem pastorate’s last swing at real political influence over their congregations is for a white woman and against a black man. Yet it also emphasizes their reactionary cast. No one since Martin Luther King has anyone so inspired and energized young whites as Barack Obama. This, then, is a real cross-racial alliance built on the cultural and educational achievements of African-Americans and on the true openness of whites and Asians to their black brothers and sisters. The bond between every Calvin Butts in America and Hillary is the old fix, pliant for the former, patronizing for the latter. And, as for the latter and her husband, it is also ugly. An article in this morning’s Financial Times by Edward Luce and Stephanie Kirchgaessner makes clear how perilous this is for the Clintons — and for the Democrats, in general. The most significant trap is that Bill risks making himself the prime issue of his wife’s campaign, two nasty and unimaginably calculating folk baying at Barack Obama whom almost everyone finds gracious. Me too.
There is a calculus to the Clintons trying to make Obama run as the black candidate. It is to stir up fear in one part of Hillary’s constituency, white women and particularly older white women. The other goal for Hillary is to turn Obama into a taunt for Hispanic Americans. After all, there was not one significant black figure in the Clinton administration, except on what you’d have to call the black reservations like Housing. Yes, there was the supreme fixer outside the administration, probably because he couldn’t get confirmed for anything or no plausible appointment was high enough for him, Vernon Jordan. The Clintons did not offend Hispanic Americans, not at all. For instance, they made Bill Richardson U.N. ambassador.
One of the largely unexamined frontiers in American politics is the one between African-Americans and Hispanic Americans, and it is at best a frosty frontier. There are more voting Latinos than there are voting blacks in the electorate, and probably more in the larger states that are soon to have primaries. Like New York and California on Super Tuesday. Watch for malicious mischief.
Wow a liberal is just now discovering that Bill Clinton is a lying sack of shit!

Thursday, January 10th, 2008Brazile on Bill: ‘Depressing’
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008This from Ben Snith on the PoliticoSphere: Related ContentOn CNN today, Donna Brazile lit into Bill Clinton with a vehemence that raised eyebrows in both of their circles:
Brazile: I could understand his frustration at this moment. But, look, he shouldn’t take out all his pain on Barack Obama. It’s time that they regroup. Figure out what Hillary needs to do to get her campaign back on track. It sounds like sour grapes coming from the former commander in chief. Someone that many Democrats hold in high esteem. For him to go after Obama, using a fairy tale, calling him as he did last week. It’s an insult. And I will tell you, as an African-American, I find his tone and his words to be very depressing.
[snip]
Blitzer: But tell me why, as an African-American, Donna, you feel that the president’s comments weren’t appropriate.
Brazile: First of all, if Bill Bennett [also on the show] had said some of the things that Bill Clinton is saying about Barack Obama, I would have called Bill Bennett out of his name and said that Bill Bennett should shut his mouth because he is not speaking in the right tone. I think his tone, I think calling Barack Obama a kid, he is a United States senator. He’s experienced. The people of Illinois elected him, and regardless of what kind of items are on his résumé, this is a man who has worked all his life. He’s proven; he’s been a college professor. I don’t have to give Barack Obama a résumé. I’m not for anyone at this point. But I think for Bill Clinton to go out of his way to become a distraction to Hillary Clinton and to launch the kind of attack on Obama is just out of character for Bill Clinton. I think it’s time he helps Hillary talk about her message and not go down this road.
The Quotable Shrillary
Sunday, January 6th, 2008Found on Moonbattery, LOL!
Via Tammy Bruce, here are a few possible reasons for Shrillary Rotten’s third-place finish in Iowa:
“Where is the g*dd*mn f*cking flag? I want the g*dd*mn f*cking flag up every f*cking morning at f*cking sunrise.”
Said by the First Lady of Arkansas to her staff at the Arkansas governor’s mansion on Labor Day, 1991. (Inside the White House, p. 244).
“F*ck off! It’s enough that I have to see you sh*t-kickers every day. I’m not going to talk to you, too. Just do your g*dd*mn job and keep your mouth shut.”
Said to her Arkansas state trooper bodyguards, after one of them deigned to greet her with “good morning.” (American Evita, p. 90)
“[You] f*cking idiot.”
To a state trooper who was driving her to an event. (Crossfire, p. 84). Describing Hillary’s general personality, Larry Gleghorn, a former state trooper, said: “She was a bitch day in and day out” (The First Partner, p. 119).
“That sorry son of a bitch.” That is what Hillary would often refer to Bill around the mansion of the Arkansas’s governor’s mansion, according to state trooper Larry Patterson.
“Personal, trained pigs.”
Gary Aldrich reported that as America’s First Lady, “[Hillary] had a clear dislike for the agents (U.S. Secret Service), bordering on hatred… Two Secret Service agents heard Hillary’s daughter Chelsea refer to them as ‘personal, trained pigs’ … The agent on the detail tried to scold Chelsea for such disrespect. He told her … he believed that her father, the president, would be shocked if he heard what she had just said to her friends. Chelsea’s response? ‘I don’t think so. That’s what my parents call you’” (Unlimited Access, p. 90).
“If you want to remain on this detail, get your f*cking ass over here and grab those bags.”
Hillary gave this order to a Secret Service agent who wanted to keep his hands free in case of an incident (as he was trained and supposed to do) and who, therefore, was hesitant to carry her bags. According to countless witnesses over many years, this kind of demanding and demeaning behavior was and still is common for Hillary Rodham Clinton. In fact, Chris Mathews — a left-leaning news commentator who is often an apologist for Democrats — said years later that he had seen Senator Hillary Clinton using a Secret Service agent to carry her bags on the Washington to New York shuttle. “Who in the Senate gets a sherpa to carry their bags for them? Who pays the airfare for this guy? Who pays for his life-style? Who pays his salary to walk around carrying her bags? This looks pretty regal” (Hardball, 08/01, quoted on Newsmax.com, 07/17/01).
“Get f*cked! Get the f*ck out of my way! Get out of my face!”
More comments by Hillary and heard by members of Secret Service details. (Hillary’s Scheme, p. 89)
“Stay the f*ck back, stay the f*ck away from me! Don’t come within ten yards of me, or else! … Just f*cking do as I say, okay!”
Yet more kind and gracious words from America’s lovely First Lady to the brave and devoted Secret Service agents who were committed to protecting her life (Unlimited Access, p. 139). In A Matter of Character (p. 2), Ron Kessler wrote “Secret Service agents assigned at various points to guard Hillary during her campaign for the Senate were dismayed at how two-faced and unbalanced she was.”
“What the f*ck is going on?”
Once again, Hillary to a Secret Service agent after she read an article by a UC Berkeley student, which was critical of Chelsea Clinton, a new high-profile Stanford undergrad. The student was subsequently interrogated by the Secret Service (SFGate.com, 11/26/97).

Bill Clinton: 1st Black President or the Other White Meat?
Friday, January 4th, 2008New probe urged for Hillary crimes
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008From World Net Daily
The top donor to Sen. Hillary Clinton’s 2000 campaign has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission asking the agency to re-open an investigation into illegal contributions and to probe alleged continuing violations of the law by the Democratic presidential candidate.The complaint by business mogul Peter Franklin Paul also asserts the Clinton campaign’s 2005 conciliation agreement with the FEC – in which a finance aide was fined $35,000 – effectively let Clinton and other top aides off the hook.
Paul says that unless the FEC sets aside the agreement and rescinds immunity granted the senator, the agency itself will “have aided and abetted in the commission” of a felony.
As WND reported, Clinton is seeking dismissal from a $17 million fraud case filed by Paul in which her husband already is a defendant. Paul is appealing Sen. Clinton’s removal to the California Supreme Court, but whether or not she is a defendant, she will be required to testify as a material witness in a trial this year.
In May 2005, Sen. Clinton’s former finance director, David Rosen, was acquitted for filing false campaign reports that later were charged by the FEC to treasurer Andrew Grossman, who accepted responsibility in the conciliation agreement. Paul points out the Rosen trial established his contention that he personally gave more than $1.2 million to Clinton’s campaign for a lavish Hollywood fundraiser in August 2000 and that his contributions intentionally were hidden from the public and the FEC.

Today Show segment on the Clinton Campaign drug meltdown
Friday, December 14th, 2007I’m slightly, but guardedly starting to believe that America may indeed survive and not have to endure a Hillary “ worlds smartest woman” Clinton presidency.
I figured long ago that she would have the best and brightest surrounding her and advising her during the campaign. It is increasingly clear she has a bunch of fucken idiots throughout her campaign team.
It’s funny because she can’t fire all of them, she is poised to have a personal meltdown real soon.
JOHNSTON, Iowa, Dec. 13 — On a day when her campaign advisers had hoped the final debate before the Iowa caucuses would help Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton reestablish herself as the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, Clinton offered a formal apology to Sen. Barack Obama and accepted the resignation of a prominent campaign organizer who had raised questions about her rival’s use of drugs.Bill Shaheen, Clinton’s New Hampshire co-chair and the husband of former governor Jeanne Shaheen, said in a statement announcing his resignation that his remarks to The Washington Post on Wednesday were “in no way authorized” by the senator from New York or her campaign.
“I made a mistake,” Shaheen said, adding that it was a “personal decision” to step aside as co-chairman of Clinton’s New Hampshire operation.
Obama advisers were reluctant to let the issue drop, asserting that Shaheen, a close friend of the Clintons, had deliberately put the drug issue into play in the primary in an effort to stem Obama’s rise in early-voting states. In his autobiography, the senator from Illinois acknowledged experimenting with marijuana and cocaine in his younger days.
Even after seeking to play down Shaheen’s comments, Mark Penn, Clinton’s chief strategist, used the word “cocaine” in a television appearance late Thursday. Obama officials seized on it as evidence that the Clinton team was intentionally trying to associate Obama with drug use.
“The issue related to cocaine use is not something the campaign is in any way raising,” Penn said on MSNBC’s “Hardball.”

Sphere: Related ContentBill Clinton to aid Hillary’s campaign… Is this a joke, LOL!
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007Curious article and title considering Bill has been the one fucking up her campaign.
Dude can’t give a speech without mentioning himself a million times.
WASHINGTON - Link- Bubba to the rescue!
Alarmed by his wife’s slide in the polls and disarray within her backbiting campaign, a beside-himself Bill Clinton has leaped atop the barricades and is furiously plotting a cure - or coup.
“She’s in big trouble and he knows it,” a top Democratic operative and Hillary Clinton booster told the Daily News.
Sources familiar with the ex-President’s thinking say he doesn’t believe his wife’s situation is desperate. But he’s unhappy with her operation - once hailed as a juggernaut - and concerned she could lose the Democratic nomination without major alterations in strategy and staffing.
Bill Clinton is mulling “a lot of different ideas and a lot of different scenarios to fix this,” an official who regularly speaks with him said. “He will come up with literally dozens of ideas. The trick will be to figure out the most important one or two to get her out of this downtrend.”
Another Democrat with close connections to the Clinton campaign describes Bill Clinton as “very engaged and very agitated. He’s yelling at [chief strategist] Mark Penn a lot.”
Penn laughed off the idea that he’s on the hot seat. “That’s funny,” he said. “I’ve been working with Bill Clinton through thick and thin for 10 years, exchanging views.”
A source close to the former First Couple criticized recent campaign ads as lacking focus, faulting Penn the most for failing to fine-tune the message: “The key problem is not the spots, but what they’re saying.”
Sources close to the former President say he and the candidate are talking constantly but sharing very little of what they’re discussing with subordinates.
Several other Hillary Clinton partisans, however, aren’t so shy about critiquing the performance of her campaign - and predict a major staff purge is inevitable.
Campaign officials and a source close to both Clintons flatly denied the head-rolling buzz. “Can this change by the end of the week? Yes,” the source said. “But at this point, everyone’s on solid footing.”
Another Hillary Clinton operative told The News, “Nothing will happen until after Iowa,” referring to the Jan. 3 Hawkeye State caucuses. The candidate last night rejected the scuttlebutt.
“These stories are false. I have the best staff in the country, and I have total and complete confidence in them,” she said.
Campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle is the biggest target, sources said. She recently took over personal command of the Iowa operation, and a Clinton defeat there could damage her future.
As Barack Obama has steadily narrowed Hillary Clinton’s once-impregnable lead, friction inside her headquarters has flared. One post-Thanksgiving meeting erupted into finger-pointing over the loss of her advantage.
“They all want to kill each other,” said a source aware of the closed-door meeting.
The backstabbing involves several high-level people in the campaign, including Penn, Mandy Grunwald, Ann Lewis and Howard Wolfson, sources said.
Penn maintained, “It’s a totally false story.”
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton’s campaign abruptly shifted gears Tuesday, arguing Obama can’t beat a Republican. Until now, her attacks targeted Obama’s experience, not his electability.
Pouncing on a report that revealed Obama staked out stridently liberal positions in a 1996 candidate questionnaire, Hillary Clinton’s campaign argued his past record is easy ammunition for the GOP.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton fired back, “For a candidate who 50% of the country says they won’t consider voting for, raising questions about electability is a curious strategy.”
Dude is an attention whore, he wants to be “loved and liked.” He has this major delusion that the entire country is enamored by him so when he goes on the road his speeches always comes back to him.
Now this sort of illusions of grander as far as he is concerned only comes into play when he is around a bunch of sycophant Negros who see him as some sort of messiah.
If I’m controlling the campaign, I would just send his crazy ass to speak to ghetto Negros or speak at Negro colleges where ignorant ass young black chicks would be prone to paw all over him and stroke that massive ego, maybe other stuff as well.
(Oh wipe that look off yo face, you know I’m right, I’m just the only blogger who will say it.)

Hillary Would Be Nothing If She Didn’t Ride Bill’s Coattails

Both the original article and article assessment is dead on.
Mrs. Bill Clinton is a fake and a complete fraud and it’s amazing to me that nobody else in the media is examining this in greater detail.
Nothing Mrs. Bill has done in her life would suggest that she is even mildly qualified to be a U.S. Senator much less President.
Yes this can apply to many other complete dogs currently occupying the Congressional and Senate chambers.
Maybe our standards have been lowered significantly by a cheating, fence sitting president and another who can barely put sentences together.
Running for president has been turned into a dog and pony show with crafter You Tube videos, Hollywood types throwing their money and big business ready to pimp out the any empty headed dweeb who will push their agenda for a few bucks.
This country needs a “leader” real bad someone who can be at the very least respected.
If Mrs. Bill is elected president (JH points this out below) this country will have taken another significant step backwards. We will never again be able to keep complete bimbos out of the White House.
Knock boots with the right (man) and you too can spread a socialist agenda.
For Mrs. Bill this is about her legacy and not about moving the country in the right direction.
I can see the unveiling of her White House portrait; it will be the first with the president sitting on the knee or her spouse.
Democratic feminist Margery Eagan, who writes for the Boston Herald, gave Hillary a savage thrashing from the left that Hilldog richly deserves.
OK, sisters, how will it feel when the supposed “first feminist,” if she does get the nomination, gets it not on her own but on the coattails of her serial-adulterer husband?Bill and Hill is now morphing into Hill and Bill, for obvious reasons. The road show came to New Hampshire yesterday. Bill stared at Hill adoringly, rapt, like Nancy Reagan in drag, for God’s sake, except Nancy actually felt it.
Does it get more humiliating? Did Elizabeth Dole drag Bob all across America? Did Kerry Healey? Have you ever even seen Attorney General Martha Coakley’s husband?
“It’s a bad commentary on women candidates that she can’t stand on her own,” says GOP strategist Holly Robichaud.
…As any reader of this column knows, Hillary makes my blood boil. And yet, depending on who the GOP nominates, I may be forced to vote for her. And the only factor making that remotely doable is slippery Bill.
…But with Hill/Bill, the tables have turned. A two-fer is the key to Hillary’s success. So Bill was in New Hampshire yesterday and by her side more often than not since July 4 in Iowa, where Edwards leads. And Bill’s the star, oozing sex from every pore, no matter his age and heart problems. Crowds love him. They endure her.
Yesterday, NECN’s Jim Braude said six of the first 10 people he interviewed in New Hampshire admitted they’d vote for Bill over Hill if they could. Asked what she’d actually done to deserve their vote, interviewees stumbled and bumbled. One actually said, well, she’s . . .“a woman.”
It gets worse. To be frank here, he has more talent in his baby fingernail than she has stem to stern. By him she is out-brained, out-charmed, out-skilled.”
Of course, she’s right. Hillary is an uncharismatic, frigid, relatively unexceptional woman who has gotten as far as she has in life because she married the right man.
She would have never, ever, in 50 lifetimes, have risen as high as US Senator had she not married Bill Clinton. In other words, without Bill, she’s not even Joe Biden or Dennis Kucinich, she’s the sort of person, if she were lucky, who might be a mid-level aide to Joe Biden or Dennis Kucinich.
Maybe it’s gauche to say that because we’re supposed to pretend that she’s some sort of feminist icon, but Hillary is an empty pantsuit with a bad attitude who’s actually being considered for the presidency because she was lucky enough to marry the right man and was cold hearted enough to let him stray from her bed because he helped her politically.
The fact that such a mediocrity would even be considered for the presidency speaks ill of the times we live in.
Yes I can see you Mrs. Bill fans screaming at your computer, but just ask yourself, look into a mirror and really ponder seriously what reason would you have for voting for this fraud?
Even the people on the far left, even Moonbats like Cindy Sheehan and the Code Pink gals can see through her bullshit.
I try to make sense of the polls but I would love to hear someone explain to me what qualifies this moron to be president?
Hats off to her campaign folks, you can indeed put lipstick on a pig and make it appear as something else and even make it appear presidential!
Bill Clinton authorized Sandy Berger’s access
Thursday, January 4th, 2007Sphere: Related Content
President Bill Clinton signed a letter authorizing former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger’s access to classified documents that later came up missing, according to a newly released investigation report by the National Archives and Records Administration.
The sensitive drafts of the National Security Council’s “Millennium After Action Review” on the Clinton administration’s handling of the al-Qaida terror threats in December 1999 suspiciously disappeared after Berger said he intended to “determine if Executive Privilege needed to be exerted prior to documents being provided to the 9/11 Commission.” Then-Attorney General John Ashcroft testified before the 9-11 commission about the millennium report, urging the panel to ask why the document’s warnings and “blueprint” to thwart al-Qaida’s plans to target the U.S. were ignored by the Clinton administration and not shared with the incoming Bush security staff.
The NARA investigation report said Clinton signed an April 12, 2002, letter designating Berger – and another person whose named is redacted – as “agents on his behalf to review relevant NSC documents regarding Osama Bin Laden/Al Qaeda, Sudan and Presidential correspondence from or to (Sudanese President) Omar Bashir, contained in the Clinton Presidential records.” A subsequent letter from a National Security Council official, May 14, 2002, said Berger repeatedly was briefed that “he was not allowed to remove any documentation from NARA.”
Last year, Berger plea bargained a criminal sentence on the charge of unlawfully removing and retaining classified documents. A judge gave him no prison time, a $50,000 fine, 100 hours of community service and a ban from access to classified material for three years.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - The nation has been “jammed into an ideological corner” by conservative Republicans and is primed for a power shift in the November elections, former President Bill Clinton said Thursday.
“This is an election unlike any other I have ever participated in,” Clinton told Democratic supporters at a fundraiser in Las Vegas. “For six years this country has been totally dominated - not by the Republican Party, this is not fair to the Republican Party - by a narrow sliver of the Republican Party, its more right-wing and its most ideological element.”
“When the chips are down, this country has been jammed to the right, jammed into an ideological corner, alienated from its allies, and we’re in a lot of trouble,” he said.
