Clinton at his purple-faced worst! Watch his tongue rolling around in his cheek as his temper rises. . You can just see the wheels turning as he decides which tact to take with the reporter. Toward the end he points that long, bony finger at the reporter's chest

He chooses a typical Clinton tactic: Restate the other person's position in such a way as to make it unreasonable (and untrue). Lots of Dems have learned this trick: I call them "Canardians".

Canard: a deliberately misleading fabrication.

Was it the same “I did not have sex with that woman” finger?

He only sticks that one in peoples faces for special lying (like when lying to the entire US of A).

Canardians — brilliant! You should trademark that term!

I wish there were an industry for trademarking terms. My second fave is “MediaCrats”.

Forget about Clinton’s crooked finger for a moment and try reading those rules about how votes are counted and delegates are apportioned. If you ever needed proof that the dem party is a haven for comme-leftist-bureaucrats, you need look no further then here.

Clinton at odds with the media? We need more of this! More fuel for the fire, several tankers full, the low octane stuff (it explodes more easily)!

How is it that people ever liked this petty little clown.

He acts like a spoiled child that got his hand caught in the cookie jar.

Bubba at his dry mouthed worst.

"Canard: a deliberately misleading fabrication."

Also.... a duck.

A “duck”: That works too!
As in “duck the question”.

LOL!

Things not going too good for old man Billy.

Still, there’s an interesting part here in that Bill is not afraid to confront a reporter he perceives as being against him. “so you think it’s OK for a vote to count 5 times more?”.

Why can’t our guys confront biased press? Why answer their moonbat questions as if they were serious? Why can’t our guys say something like, “Charlie, I’ll answer your stupid question about religion when you start asking dems about theirs. If anyone has a sensible next question, I’m ready for it.” One memorable moment of this campaign was when Fred simply told the moonbat questioner to go sit on a tack and he wasn’t going to play her silly game. Of course the rest of the candidates about broke their arms in trying to do what they were told.

Come on guys - grow a spine. I don’t think these moonbat reporters can’t handle a little pushback. So push back already.

In any event the casino caucuses won’t account for more than six percent of the total number of delegates. That’s the way the rules were written. And the state party approved those rules as did the national democratic party. It wasn’t until after Barack Obama got the endorsement of the culinary workers union that anyone objected to the casino locations.
Just like a Rat. They favor something until they don't favor something. hehehe

Eh bien! C'est un Canard!

One of my favorite French newspapers is "Le Canard Enchaine'", which in true French fashion is a double entendre. The chained duck, or the captured lie.

The WSJ just put in print what we all have known for many years.

Do you think Billy has fully realized the changing landscape of politics with the advent of widespread video propagation on the internet? I don’t know.

I just watched the Obama, vote different, 1984 Apple spoof ad again. In light of the way the primaries are going, it was fairly prescient. And Hillary as Big Brother is believable.
