My favorite therapist: Jack Bauer.
I'm glad Newt got his nose out of her *** long enough to say that.
Of course, it's true! The Clintons are evil incarnate.
Time to play catch up:
Giuliani convicts, Clinton lacks conviction
From the Boston Globe: "Pardons re-emerge as issue in Clinton run"
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2007/02/28/pardons_reemerge_as_issue_in_clinton_run/
President Clinton's pardons have been a political issue for Hillary Clinton because of her ties to a number of the cases. In addition to the people who paid her brothers, those receiving pardons included commodities trader Marc Rich, a fugitive who was prosecuted for tax evasion by then-US Attorney Rudolph Giuliani and fled to Switzerland. Rich was pardoned after his former wife, Denise Rich, contributed heavily to Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign.
Controversy over the pardons was reignited last week after Hollywood mogul and former Clinton supporter David Geffen criticized the Clintons for the Rich pardon.
"It is a legitimate campaign issue," said Stephen Gillers, professor of legal ethics at New York University School of Law. He said that Hillary Clinton should answer questions about her brothers' and her own involvement in the pardons because "the stench of the Marc Rich pardon still stinks and it has never been adequately explained."
Boy howdy, can you imagine this issue coming up during a Rudy-Hillary presidential debate? That's hot.

"All about the money"
That's how the New Republic's Marty Peretz describes Bill and Hillary Clinton in this acerbic attack:

But David [Geffen] is certainly correct to call our attention to the Clintons' last act of presidential hauteur, and that is the pardons Bill and Hillary gave in the 24 hours before leaving office. First of all, there was the case of Marc Rich, zillionaire oil trader and tax felon whose ex-wife was a huge contributor to Clinton causes and one of Hillary's best pals. Rich also was living in Zug, Switzerland because he couldn't come in to the US without fear of being arrested. Now he can. Then there were the cases related to Hillary's brothers as lawyers and advocates. And the pardoning of Bill's brother. And on and on. Go to Google again, and type in "presidential pardons," "bill clinton," and "hillary clinton." You will be basting yourself in hog water. These are tell-tale enormities, more than 140 of them. Yuk.
I believe that deep-down the country agrees with Geffen. It does not want to relive the Clinton years. It was a tacky presidency, and the president's tackiness kept us from facing many dangers--including the perils of Muslim terrorism.
Hillary is deluding herself if she believes she can escape the tawdriness of the Clinton years by cutting off questions on impeachment,

or pardons, or suddenly discovered Rose Law firm files.

"Many of you are well enough off that (President Bush's) tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. "WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THINGS AWAY FROM YOU ON BEHALF OF THE COMMON GOOD"
(Hillary grandstanding at a fund raising speech in Sand Francisco; SFGate.com 6/28/2004)
McCain is a POS. My dog has a better chance of being nominated than he does.
Ummm... this sailor doesn't get it, he stated wasted (past), lives. Plus with the line re: Americans are getting tired, pretty much does it for me.
I don't waste any energy on him. He's done, politically.
If he gets the nomination, I will vote for him. Currently, I support Duncan Hunter.
Rush bringing his A game today.

What kind of losers elect a President because they are a "good guy"? McLoon stepped in it...BIGTIME! Regardless of what his lapdogs want to rave about.
re: They have failed to report that it is the consensus and instead have chosen … balance as bias.
Hunh?
Isn't consensus of scientists used by Gore balance as bias?
Nevermind.
Hey Raster! McLoon lost my vote a long time ago.
This review is dedicated to Jennifer Hudson, because Antonella used your name in vain…
1) Gina- She yells, she screams. And she thinks that is singing. Forgettable. (Charlotte, you ROCK!)
2) Alaina- Awwwww, mommy cries! Ouuuch, I'm crying! Singing on pitch might help your fledgling singing career, dear. Damn, she's pretty. Is it wrong of me to want her to stick around just to admire those fine long legs?? I also don't like the Dixie Jerks.
3) Lakisha- Does grandma know that Ryan is gay? Not as impressive as last week, but still great. That outfit was fugly! ICK! For the sake of my eyes, no more mini-skirts—please.
4) Ms. Dootles- Damn! Just…hot damn!! Unbelievable! She's in the zone. LOVE!!!
5) Antonella- Arrrrrgh….no, no, no…she sings Celine!?!?!? Just awful. She's sucking hard. And that dress—looked like 60's spinach vomit. But wait, she's also getting cocky now: She compared herself to J-Hud??? Thank you Simon, damn right she's no Jennifer Hudson! STFU, Antonella. Leave now.
6) Jordin- Cheesy intro package. It was meant to be touching, but I kept chuckling at the melodrama. Cries waaay too much for me to take seriously. Ugh. I hate this song. That said, she did ai'ight. Song was way to big for her. She's got talent.
7) Stephanie- Sexy dress. Wow! The singing was pretty too. Randy has a point about her weak vibrato.
8) Leslie- What a mess. Excruciating. Pretty hair. Leggings? Way to make me puke. Daddy has those psychotic eyes aimed right at Simon. Paula says, "We all like different flavors of ice cream." Yes Paula, tell America what flavor you like so we can all avoid it.
9) Haley- Good grief, that was horrible. Just awful. Tone deaf and screechy. My ears are hurting.
10) Sabrina- Pretty good. Sounds generic to me. Simon is right, she likes to shout.
WTF?? Pickles is singing on the results show and I'm supposed to be excited???? The Hell.
THE SEAL: Gina; Alaina; Leslie; Haley
THE BOOT: Gina; Leslie
Excellent piece...thank you...
McLame can't figure out if he is a straw man or a straw horse or a straw dog.
A STRAW MAN is "a weakling; one who is all facade, no substance; also, a false issue or phony candidate set up to be easily knocked down...comes from the farmer's scarecrow, and from its military use as a false target set up to draw enemy fire..." A STALKING HORSE is "a decoy; a candidate put forward to split a vote or deadlock a convention, concealing another candidate's plan. In hunting, a stalking horse is used to conceal a sportsman stalking game, allowing the hunter to get close to his quarry; from this expression, used in print since 1519, has come to mean a person put forward to mislead." From "Safire's New Political Dictionary" by William Safire (Random House, New York, 1993).
STRAW DOGS -- Heaven and Earth are not humane./ They regard all things as straw dogs. Lao-tzu (c. 604 - c. 531 B.C., "The Way of Lao-tzu." Note: Straw dogs were used in sacrifices and then discarded. "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations," Seventeenth Edition, edited by Justin Kaplan (Little Brown and Co., Boston, 2002)
In business, something (an idea, or plan, usually) set up to be knocked down. It's the dangerous philosophy of presenting one mediocre idea, so that the listener will make the choice of the better idea which follows. It backfires with some frequency, as the listener (out of sheer perversity) will insist on the straw dog. Moral of the story: if you are required to present two or three alternatives, make sure you can live with any of them.
