When Hillary Met Nixon
When Watergate staffer-turned-first lady Hillary Clinton met Richard Nixon for the first time in 1993, she actually praised the nearly impeached ex-president for being "light years" ahead of his time.
No, Mrs. Clinton wasn't so prescient as to have seen Nixon's past in her future. She was referring to the 37th president's never-passed health care plan, which, according to one-time Nixon aide Monica Crowley, Hillary praised as a "blueprint" for her own soon-to-fail plan.
Wednesday's New York Post's Page Six previewed the upcoming issue of Avenue magazine, where Crowley, now a WABC Radio host and Fox News commentator, reveals that the ex-president wrote to Bill Clinton in 1992 to congratulate him on "a very well-run campaign."
After three months waiting for Clinton to reply, Nixon told Crowley: "What do you expect? They're Arkansas dogpatch."
But the very next year, Crowley recalls, the Clintons invited Nixon to the White House.
He accepted, and upon his arrival at the White House he was greeted by Hillary, who blurted out, "Your health care reform legislation in 1973-74 was so good that we are using it as a blueprint for our own package."
Then, without a hint of irony, Hillary added, "Had you survived in office, you would have been light years ahead of your time."
Crowley remembers Nixon later fuming: "Had I survived in office! Maybe I could have if she hadn't been working to impeach me."
I'm sure Mr. Kennedy would not be included under this medicare coverage. It would only be for the little people...
Look what happened to the VA after more veterans were made eligible for care.
FatBoy can only come up with ideas but he never seems to have a way to carry through with something...PS did anyone hear the clips howie carr was playing of ted today...priceless
Two words: Cana DUH"Ask not what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you." Ted Kennedy, 2005
When is Teddy going to open up Hyannis Port so that we can all camp out on the grounds and use the facilities? He believes in cradle to the grave, right? So where's my invitation?
I see that ex-playboy, and MultiMillionaire Sen. Teddy Bare is once again trying to increase the strength of Plantation Politics in America. (Plantation Politics is where everyone goes to "The Man" for all of their needs. "The Man" lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, in the big White House.)
Sen. Teddy Bare, who has never worked a day in his life, just loves to buy votes by spending taxpayers' money! Yep, when the dems lose an election it is a sure bet that they will soon try to buy votes by proposing to make the Federal Plantation bigger! This year it was Sen. Teddy Bare who did his duty for his party.
Hmmm - - - maybe one of y'all know, has a democrat EVER proposed ANYTHING that did NOT involve an increase in government spending?
Tell you what, Teddy Boy... we'll extend Medicare to all citizens, but only if YOU pay for it... God knows you don't need Medicare...
I thought everyone already could sign up when they're of age to get medicare?
hmmm, citizens?? only??
hmmm?? who will be paying for this.
Fatass Kennedy has plenty money. Let him pay for it.
And it's usually phrased in such a way as it would be a medical "gift" from the government.
What they don't say is that they would TAKE AWAY your current health plans first.
Collectivism, n'est ce pas?
Once a Kennedy, always a Kennedy. Once a socialist, always a socialist. When are the people of Massacusetts going to wake up? Certainly not in our lifetime. Even if Kennedy dies or doesn't run for re-election (ha!), they'll just elect a Kennedy clone.
Now he wants to totaly socialize medicine.
This guy is COMMUNIST to the bone and he must be opposed on anything he tries to pass.
I cannot understand how Massachusets continues to vote for this communist dinosaur.
Anyone who thinks socialized medicine is such a nifty idea should be forced to spend some time in a country that has it.
