Clinton: White House needs 'clean sweep'

MIAMI - "A clean sweep" is needed at the White House because President Bush has fostered "a culture of cronyism, corruption and incompetence," Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday.

The Democratic presidential candidate told nearly 1,000 women at a fundraiser that she would have much work to do at the White House if she won election in 2008.

"After eight years of the Bush administration, we are going to be shocked by what we find," the New York senator and former first lady said. "Somebody said to me the other day if there was ever a time for a woman president it's now because we're going to have to do a lot of cleaning."

The women, many of who brought their daughters to the $100 per plate "Women for Hillary" breakfast, applauded wildly.

"Grab your buckets, grab your brooms," Clinton said. "We're going to have to do a clean sweep because there has been a culture of cronyism, corruption and incompetence."

We all remember when the Clinton’s moved into the White House. A U-Haul showed up from Arkansas with their meager possessions. Eight years later when they moved out, it took several United Van Lines to carry the loot from the White House to Hillary’s temporary quarters (in her opinion). The big question is: will she move the stuff back in or will she just replace it all at taxpayers expense? My guess is that she will leave all her previous loot in her house in Chappaqua (and the one in DC) and sock it to the taxpayers to replace what she looted from the WH to begin with.

He prudently refuses to join the circus.

Horse dung. Do you understand why conservatives are angry at Bush? It's because he doesn't call people like Hillary out. He can easily issue a statement saying that he brought honor and dignity back to the WH after Clinton, but he won't. Apparently he has no problem yukking it up with the Clintons though.

"So it's Hillary's turn, right? Then it's Jeb's turn, then Chelsea Clinton, then George P. Bush..."

Corruption,Hillary? Perhaps we can talk about all those things you expected me to do when you brought me to Washington.And perhaps we can talk about the papers that you ordered be taken from my office just after my body was found.

He never fights back because his is not one of us. Bush is one of them. He prefers the company of the Kennedys and Clintons over true conservatives. I was amazed when Bush entered office - he never bothered investigating the rampant corruption in the Clinton administration, which concluded with the selling of presidential pardons. Then Bush refused to do anything about Sandy Berger. But two border patrol agents doing their jobs get 10 years in prison, while their "victim", a drug smuggling Mexican national, got free medical care, immunity from presecution, and a gold-plated green card. I have a feeling the Bushes and Clintons had an agreement in place before 2001. I can't think of a rational explanation to the contrary. If you can, then please share.

That’s because Bush is a big government, elitist globalist ahole, just like the two Clinton demons.

The guest cards that have to be issued for the Lincoln Fundraising Bedroom, the corruption that has to be put back into the travel office, there’s kicking out of unapproved reporters from the White House press pool, and she’s not going to stand still on this whole issue with china...the White House china, that is. The other one will be staying in the Lincoln Bedroom three out of seven nights a week.

The oval office carpets won’t be stained and have to be replaced as they were when Bill and her left the White House.

Hillary was referring to the constant sweep of Marcy Park, looking for the latest fallout from a fight with the Clintons. Look for an increase in the demand for cadaver dogs if Hillary gets into the White House.

Exactly! What about China gate? Selling out National Security. Him and daddy Bush have done nothing but kiss the Clintons A*s. The only people Bush can take swipes at is the people who put him there.
