She’s ill tempered.

Absolutely - and she doesn't like to be confronted about ANYTHING.

"Hillary - do you think ALL of those women were lying about your husband????"

I'd love to see someone ask THAT question!

I find it interesting that she treats the msm presstitutes like they are her b!tches.

And in the meantime the new media is ripping her to shreds.

"They're frightening!" says one reporter who has covered Clinton. "They don't see [reporting] as a healthy part of the process. They view this as a ruthless kill-or-be-killed game."

If they're this way with the media, it doesn't take much imagination to believe they are capable of worse actions to get rid of pesky troublemakers.

Well, it did give them the chance to throw allegations at the Bush administration. Their definition of "lying" is when the Bush administration had a different view of the facts than theirs.

The whole Lewinsky scandal would never have become public if Hillary hadn't demanded a no-compromise approach to the Paula Jones case to begin with.

All Kerry needed to do, if he wanted to disprove the Swift boat vets, was to release his 180. Why didn't that ever occur to him?

This looks like a reasonably straight story until you get to this:

"The Bush administration changed the rules," as one scribe puts it--and the Clintonites like the way they look. (To be sure, no one accuses the Clinton team of outright lying to the press, as the Bushies have done, or of crossing other ethical lines. And reporters say other press shops--notably those of Rudy Giuliani and John Edwards--are also highly combative.)

Horse pucky. Bill clinton changed the rules, when he went over reporters' heads to their bosses, as this article earlier says hillary does, and got them fired. He got at least 5 or 6 reporters fired, by threatening to sic the IRS and the SEC on their bosses.

Nobody fears Bush. You can say whatever you like about him, and you'll be back in the front row of the press briefing room the next day. But they fear hillary, and rightly so, because she will kill anyone who crosses her, figuratively and sometimes literally.

I believe it’s highly possible to aggrevate her to the point of implosion. I’ve always thought so. And it is my hopeful opinion that “crusaders” like Doug from Upland, Rush Limbaugh, etc. can keep the heat on her until she loses her cool.

I am hopeful.

Fatally flawed she is.

Speaking of, what's Rove up to these days? I can feel his hand on our side but haven't heard a peep from him.

HILLARY RODHAM and BILL CLINTON’s mutual support for Communist North Vietnam’s terrorist takeover of a then Free South Vietnam during the Vietnam War...

"She doesn’t have her husband’s calm. She’s ill tempered."

It's not that Bubba's calm, he's castrated.

Fatally flawed?

I like your description indeed. Very optimistic.

Ya know, Hillary on a combination of prozac, valium, and weed just might get her elected when you think about it. As she stands now, she's like an overinflated balloon and those outside her own sphere of influence are sharp objects.

The woman has never had a moment of joy in her life. Bitterness is her fuel. Who the heck would want to work for or deal with her? She goes a long way in explaining Bill's recklessness.

"Clinton's wariness was forged by her husband's nightmarish experience on the 1992 campaign trail. Battered by stories about Bill's mistresses and financial dealings, Hillary seethed at the press and resolved to control their coverage."

If Hillary has controlled their press coverage since '92, I wonder where this writer gets the idea her campaign is following the behavior of the Bush White House. He's totally contradicted himself within two short paragraphs.

Has anyone figgered out where she’s deported her two goofball opportunistic leech brothers Tony and what’s his name to? Funny I have not heard one mention of them in four years. I’m sure they are being “managed” by someone.

The article says the Clintons have been like this since 1992-1993, yet, it tries to put the blame on W Bush White House.

George Orwell coined the term doublethink in his classic novel 1984. Doublethink is the power to hold two completely contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accept both of them.

To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself.

The news media will turn against Hillary as soon as they think that a “better” Democrat will win the ‘08 nomination (e.g. Gore, Lieberman, Kerry).

Otherwise, they will be on their kneepads bowing to her.

If I was producing a debate I’d make sure Hillary had easy access to some ash trays.

Can you imagine what Hillary and her team will do when they control the executive branch of the federal government?

That question ALONE should be enough to scare every American citizen who cares about their freedoms, America, its Constitution, and the quality of life in America. The thought of that Marxist witch in the White House is my worst nightmare.
