Clinton Promises a Cleanup of Government ["Wash"ington Alert!]
nytimes.com ^ | 4/21/07 | PATRICK HEALY and JON HURDLE

Posted on 04/21/2007 11:12:18 AM PDT by melt

Seeking black and female votes yesterday, first at Rutgers University and then before the Rev. Al Sharpton’s political organization, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton used housecleaning imagery to swipe at President Bush and praised the Rutgers women’s basketball team as teaching her and others a lesson

Mrs. Clinton, Democrat of New York, criticized President Bush at several points, particularly over Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts and Iraq, which she called “this war that he deliberately started.” But for the most part she used personal examples and metaphors to advocate for blacks, women, gay men and women, the poor, the old and the young.

Before Mr. Sharpton’s group, the National Action Network, Mrs. Clinton promised to champion government reform and drew applause by talking about women’s cleaning up messes made by others.

“When I walk into the Oval Office in 2009, I’m afraid I’m going to lift up the rug and I’m going to see so much stuff under there,” she told a few hundred black political figures and others at a Manhattan hotel.

“You know, what is it about us always having to clean up after people?” she added. “But this is not just going to be picking up socks off the floor. This is going to be cleaning up the government.”

Well.. want proof the media are complicit w/ this nappy headed heathen ? She , in this piece , attacks Bush for Katrina. Perfect, game set and match. Checkmate. Gotcha.

Those with memory or links will remember that Nagin and Blanco were told what to do and had meeting to that effect with who ???????????????

Yep, Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Lastly, remember Gen. Stuck on stupid ?

Specifically in that famous interview he reminded reporters HE WAS THERE A WEEK EARLIER. He quoted longitude and latitude markers w/ barametic and bar readings to prove it.

Hmmmmm ..?? What was that HER HUSBAND SAID on the night he was selected as the democrat nominee: “This will be the MOST ETHICAL ADMINISTRATION IN THE HISTORY of the USA”.

I don’t think that turned out too well - HE WAS IMPEACHED FOR LYING IN A COURT OF LAW!!

Hillary .. Please keep bringing this up - we love sharing the truth with other people.

If elected president I wonder what she’ll do when she goes into the little room off the oval office where Mr.Clinton used to go in and relieve his urges?

It shouldn’t be a shocker when she even demands a clean-up of the secret service staff...putting her own people on their staff.


Well, she might have a recruiting problem given the historical list of “Clinton staff and confidants”...

Hillary and Bill are the last people who should talk about dirty politicians. These are the people who trashed the white house and turned the Lincoln Bedroom into a cheap whorehouse. Maybe she could clean the semen that her husband left on the carpet,walls,chairs and curtains.

That's right. Just ask Billy Dale.

There is still a mess since she was in the White House last time. Where are the “W’s” from the keyboards?

She does think we’re stupid, and plenty are .....we’re going to find out if stipid is in the majority on election night. Let’s see if she can convince people she considers beneath her to vote for her.

Clean up? Or, more accurately, clean out!

After the way she and B.J. left in 2001, how much more can we expect to see them pilfer if there again?

No, it's gone! President Bush had it fumigated after you left and a new carpet installed!!

My initial thoughts were, “How stupid can she be? Using the housekeeping terminology of maids to a black audience!”
