MTP is playing the clip of Rudy trying to figure out where Hillary’s experience is. Let’s see how they handle this.

(They didn’t want to follow up on Kate’s bringing up the soap opera and criminality that were the 90s. )

LOL. Good for O’Beirn. She brings up the one thing Hillary managed...the health care debacle. (Kate is going to be in the doghouse for weeks for her performance.)

Woodruff says they could call Tim an honorary skirt for having an all woman panel. (Giggles from all.) This is supposed to be evidence of how much influence Hillary has already had on the race.

Hi, Miss Marple, we argue a lot but glad to see you around! If you still are in contact with MadIvan, please ask him to drop in again, I’d love to hear his thoughts on British politics.

Re: Pepperdine it has a lovely location, but it isn’t a good idea to build a big city in a desert climate with a lot of vegetation.

We know from observation for at least fifteen years, that theirs is a symbiotic relationship, not a love relationship. If we go back farther, we know that Bill latched on to her at Yale, so she could do the class/book work, brief him and perhaps, even write his papers. With his skill at regurgitating whatever people want to hear, he was able to pass every professor’s test, and get his JD.

He is on record saying that he did not attend classes in the fall of his first year, because he was working on someone’s political campaign.

Her name is on the ticket, but she is definitely NOT independent of him. He prefers being connected with her as well.

For Love of Politics is the first book to explain the dynamics of Bill and Hillary’s relationship, showing that they are two halves of a unique whole and that it is impossible to understand one Clinton without factoring in the other.

Right, Bonnie & Clyde.

Happy Sunday, All...and congrats to last weeks' winners.

For what I could stand of Fox & Friends this a.m., I heard yet more about dog adoption and some silly no-email Friday. They did do one good segment on the Drive Bys spreading the "doom & gloom" about the economy.

My post about yesterday's show regarding Mrs. Clinton's funny money scheme...

Did anyone just see Julie and Leslie debating this on Fox & Friends? Unbelievable how Miss Julie is spinning and spinning for Mrs. Clinton who you know has always been for reunification and that is why these poor people have given her their money so that they can be with their families one day and well, immigration is just such a mess anyway in this country.

Leslie launched in, aided by a shocked Kelly Wright, who asked her about Chinagate from the 90s, people without addresses, connections with the Chinese mafia and here illegally. Leslie said--come on, where there's smoke there's fire. But Julie says that if there are straw men and illegals involved, it is the donor's responsibility--not Clinton Inc. Wonder if my neighbors heard my screaming so early on a Saturday morning.

Half of likely voters nationwide would never vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Nearly 50 percent of 10,000 registered voters surveyed ruled out supporting New York's junior senator, according to the Zogby Interactive poll.

Too bad you cannot see my ear to ear grin.

By the way, folks, as we know, and as Clinton, Inc. also knows, getting her elected will require voter fraud on a scale never before seen. I urge everyone to volunteer to work at you local polls though most of us probably live in districts less likely to be targetted.

Here 's this sunday's Media Nuggets

###### NYTimes crocodile tears @ Dow Jones Dropping CNBC Ads in Favor of Fox Business Network while never cared about Google's selective censorship criticising moveon.

###### TV Networks Continue to Lose -> Audience Share . The "big four" broadcast television networks are continuing to lose audience share, according to new figures from Nielsen Media Research.

###### Gannett Profit Falls as Ad Sales Decline Gannett, the largest U.S. newspaper publisher, says 3rd-quarter profit fell 10% as newspaper classified advertising sales tumbled and television revenue dropped.

###### Distorting +ve news to -ve -> McClatchy way - "As violence falls in Iraq, cemetery workers feel the pinch".

###### Wake-up O'Reilly! -> Hillary Clinton, George Soros Connection.

###### McClatchy's Profit Plummets! -> 55% as Ads Drop. McClatchy, the publisher of 31 U.S. daily newspapers including the Miami Herald, says 3-quarter profit fell 55% as its classified advertising revenue declined.

###### Liberal Magazines BusinessWeek, Newsweek ads plummet ! -> BusinessWeek and Newsweek dropped 16.4% and 8.5%.

###### Phony Media/NYTimes -> says that Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation Inc, (Rush Limbaugh is a director) is not a charity and so Casey foundation might incur taxes on its purchase of the letter.

###### NYTimes leaks again about investigation into jihadist. Despite warnings not to publish his real name, The NY Times has outed an al Qaeda sympathizing blogger with possible ties to a Somalian terror ring.

###### NY Times Stock Plummets After Major Sale Morgan Stanley, the second-biggest shareholder in New York Times Co., sold off its entire stake Wednesday, sending the stock to its lowest in more than 10 years.

The only cable network that skip's President's weekly radio address: Fox. Michael Murphy, Senior Manager, Media Relations at (Wash)FNC is out. Reason - liberal reasearch assistant of a leading anchor. And this idiot ).

Whoever was the fem dem apologist on H&C one night this week said that it was racist and bigoted to imply that people living in low income neighborhoods of NYC and working minimum wage jobs cannot voluntarily give Ms Clinton one or two thousand dollars of their own money.

How does a host respond to such an argument without saying “are you nuts”?

The pubbie representative on the panel was totally useless as a presenter of fact, or of points of debate. She went off on “too much money” in politics.

Huckabee: Says he has not changed positions. He is the same today as he has always been.

[Hmmmm.....senility or selective amnesia? He was pro-illegals and pro-open borders as governor. More recently he claims to be ‘the’ conservative and wants to secure the borders.]

So, that is not a flip-flop? Then it is definitely pandering to those who stopped the Amnesty for Illegals 3 times in the last 2 years and who are scrutinizing the Senate playing around still with The Dream Act.

Senility or selective amnesty seems to be rampant in this election cycle. It has affected many of the wannabes in both parties.

Team Tancredo ^ | Tom Tancredo
In a press release issued, former Governor Mike Huckabee took issue with the Tancredo campaign's characterization of him as a pro-amnesty politician. Unfortunately for the Governor, the facts support the label. Fact #1. As Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee denounced an immigration bill (Arkansas Senate Bill 206) that "would have required proof of citizenship to register to vote and would have required state agencies to report suspected cases of people living in the country illegally." (Doug Thompson, "Immigration Bill un-christian..governor says"Arkansas News Bureau 1/28/05) Fact #2. As Governor, Mike Huckabee offered a proposal to give state funded scholarships and state...

More 'selective amnesia' articles on FR -- do a title (by date) search on 'amnesia'.

I can understand a cat being left at a residence for the new owners especially such a place as the White House where he no doubt had quite an area to roam and was well looked after by the White House staff which he probably thought of as his owners rather than the Clintons. On the other hand maybe this woman actually had more contact with him than the Clintons but PR it is a disaster.

Downing Street traditionally has a cat which remains despite who is in residence.

The Bush's on the other hand take their faithful old cat with them even on the Christmas break. The pets to the Bush's are not photo ops but real members of the family.

Sometimes I get tinhatted and start to think she is doing more than just hoping. And it would not be the diehard conservatives or the purist Republicans, who'd be dumb enough to follow a third party, so that isn't the candidate she'd encourage...IF she's encouraging any.

Bill Kristol just said that he sees a 5-way race now because Huckabee wowed a conference held yesterday.

What worries me a whole lot is that - in sort of the same dynamic as the effects of a third party candidate - one of these five could win with 21% of the vote - to use an extreme example.

I wish we had the Louisiana system of runoff this year, because we have so many candidates with good points, but no one candidate with “all” of the good points.

If we end up nominating a weak. ie, second tier, candidate because of such a split vote, there will be much less chance of winning the White House.

This seems to be the talking point as it is repeated in this Daily News article which makes Mrs. Clinton the savior:

(...) Chung Seto, organizer of an April fund-raiser and former executive director of the New York State Democratic Party, said event planners took "extraordinary measures" to ensure that the donations were lawful.

Insinuations to the contrary are "outrageous" and "racist," she said. "Donors who work hard every day - they are in the restaurant or garment industry - should not be questioned about why they choose to be involved in the political process."

Bo Jie Wu, a money-transfer store employee, told the Daily News he gave $1,000 to Clinton because he believes in her.

Hsiao Yen Wang, a nursing assistant, said it was a "pleasure" for her and her husband, a cook, to give Clinton $1,000 because "I would like to see the United States have the first woman President."

McGraw-Hill has been giving subscritions to 'Business Week' for over 10 years - to up the numbers is my understanding. My copy still goes to the trash, regardless.

Strange that they say the Marine Foundation is not a charity, when it is on the 'approved' list of charitable donations for federal employees (per postal caller to Rush this week).
