Mrs. Clinton Offers to Raise Money for Lamont Campaign
New York Times ^ | August 26, 2006 | JENNIFER MEDINA

Posted on 08/27/2006 8:31:39 AM PDT by george76

In a private meeting at her Chappaqua, N.Y., home on Friday, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton offered to help Ned Lamont in his battle to unseat Senator Joseph I. Lieberman by sponsoring a fund-raiser, campaigning by his side and lending him one of her top political strategists.

That strategist, Howard Wolfson, said Mrs. Clinton wanted to throw her considerable political weight behind Mr. Lamont because the national Republican Party “is clearly invested in Ned Lamont’s defeat.”

“I think they are going to do what they can to see him defeated,” Mr. Wolfson said, adding that he was particularly concerned with “Bush-Cheney talking points.”

“They are going to attack him in the way Republicans do,” he said, “and he obviously needs to be and is going to be prepared.”

Mr. Lieberman, who lost to Mr. Lamont in the Aug. 8 Democratic primary, is running on his own Connecticut for Lieberman line, while still calling himself a Democrat, angering many other Democrats...

Across the country, the Republican Party has tried to use Mr. Lamont’s primary victory as evidence that an antiwar fringe has captured the Democratic Party.

LOL. Thanks, I'd missed that one :)

Seriously, though, why the oh, so private meeting on Hillie's home turf? What other pols has Hillie invited there? Not many that I can think of. So how does Lament rate? Mark my words, there was more to that meeting than met the eye. Even though, since it was done behimd closed doors, that wouldn't be hard :)

There is music with that pic.

Hillary is trying to please both the moonbats by "offering" money, her "advisor," and private meetings...

and second, preparing for 2008 by avoiding public meetings and pictures with this moveon DUmmie.

IMO.

Mrs. Clinton Offers to Raise Money for Lamont Campaign...

Hillary always reminds me of a joke, but this one reminds me of the one where the wife goes out to raise some money and when she returns she has $500.10.

The husband asks, "Who was the cheap SOB who gave you the 10 cents?"

"Everybody," she replied.

Ever since her commodity trading where she made $100,000 ( in bribes ) but could not explain how she did it nor how options or futures trading works...

Hillary : 'If you are that good, why did you stop ?'

We know what she is. The only thing to change are the prices $$

After the primary debacle, Sen Clinton urged Lieberman to “search his conscience and decide what is best for Connecticut and for the Democratic Party’’ before pushing ahead with an independent candidacy.

Translation of Hillary's comments: "What the.....? The loser filed to run as an Independent? Is he nutsy-cuckoo? We gotta get that creep out of the Senate race now. Everytime his whining face is on TV, he hurts my presidential chances. Harry better strip him of his committees.......or else. Quick, call Bill, tell him to get those FBI files on Lieberman out of the lockbox pronto."

Mrs. Clinton wanted to throw her considerable political weight...

Are you sure that the transcript wasn't misinterpreted and that somebody said "throw her considerable ankle weight" instead?

Why is it that this guy is reminding me more and more of Ned Flanders?

More Lies By Hillary

Dick Morris, a former Clinton political adviser, said on July 21 that Hillary, lured by the drop in Bush’s ratings, might seek and win the Democratic nomination next year. Her background will be a problem for her, but even more damaging are the lies she has told about her close friend, Webb Hubbell, who went to prison for stealing from his partners and clients of the Rose Law Firm.

Hillary says in her book that she didn’t know Webb was in serious trouble until November 24, 1994. That is a lie. She and Bill had been told in March that Hubbell faced prosecution and that he should be ousted from the Justice Department. They promptly sought and got his resignation. Fearing he would reveal their darkest secrets, they and their aides set out to raise money to buy his silence. The final OIC report says he was paid $541, 750, ostensibly for his services, but he performed little or no work.

The claim that the Clintons didn’t know Hubbell was in deep trouble until November 1994 enabled them to say they had nothing to do with the solicitation of hush money because they didn’t know that Hubbell faced prosecution. The more that lie is publicized the more difficult it will be for the Clintons to return to the White House as President and First Mate. They should have been evicted when the hush-money scandal broke.





If I were Lamont, I would run and hide....I wouldn't let it be known the slimy hag had helped in my campaign one inch....

Speaking of searching...

It took Hillary years of searching before she found those billing records under her bed at the White House.

Hillary managed to raise money for Carl McCall and screw him at the same time. Now that's a talent.

Hillary's first fundraiser at her Whitehaven Manse was for Maria Cantwell who's now unelectable in a liberal bastion.

the national Republican Party “is clearly invested in Ned Lamont’s defeat.”

Oh, I don't know that that's true. Lieberman is a reliable voice on the war on terror, but he's definitely a dem on absolutely everything else; while Lamont is the posterchild for the looney left, which certainly gives a nice focus to the "dems are weak (or insane) on national security" position. Could be a win-win for us.

Holy smoke! That's an eerie resemblance between Hubbell and Chelsea. Always wondered where she got that largemouth bass face.
