NOW Clinton will tone it down and they will simply ignore Obama and do nothing but badmouth Bush and those evil right-wing extremist Republicans. You watch.

One might think.

But at the first snarky question from a reporter purposely goading BJ into an angry outburst for the sake of a better story, BJ will revert to what he has always been. A thin-skinned, hot headed jerk.

It matters not what the reporter's politics are. A good story always trumps.

They created this monster and have allowed the Clintons to run amok with power...they now have to deal with the consequences.

He can’t help it. It’s in his nature to crave attention any way he can get it.

He won’t go away until they take him away in a pine box.

The Clintons are self-destructing.
Together they are destroying the Clinton legacy.
This is the best thing ever.

Their proper place in the history books as the racists they are will finally be written.

It helps the Clintons that Kennedy's name is in the press upset with Bill.

Kennedy is seen as an extremist amongst the "centrists" and "moderates". His disapproval is a plus for Hillary.

It is classic Clinton triangulation, they have made a career out of this.

" As soon as the hermetical seal has been vacuum-packed, Hillary will announce she’s picked Barry to be her Veep."

I doubt she would want him as VP. Lockbox or not she doesn't want him near the White House.

I believe she picked him to run against her, knowing she had the goods on him to insure his defeat.

Every dirty rotten thing that could possibly be said about hitlery already has been said.

Hussein on the other hand still has untold stories, which BillyBoy(X42i) is about to cash in.

But if he fails to get the hag nominated and gives all that ammo to the pubbie candidate, the screaming and flying ashtrays will be the least of their problems.

Hillary is claiming that the win in Vegas was ok, because she won the popular vote,
where Obama won more delegate votes.

“The media wouldn’t exist without its listeners/watchers and if we stopped buying the garbage they sell, politically or otherwise, they’d either be out of business or would have to give up manipulating and start reporting.

At the micro-level, I agree totally.

At the macro-level, I think you are at least partially wrong.

US population 300 million, assume (argument) 100M regular consumers of print and TV media. I made this number up.

1) To alienate any large % of their customers, print and TV media have to change their message quickly. Slowly-changed messages might be subject to the ‘boiled frog rule’.

2) In dealing with such large human markets, assume a certain amount of entropy (e.g. a certain number of households WILL turn tv on each night at prime time and WILL tune to xyz network, regardless of what they say on that network). Meaning if XYZ has a 15% market share of 100M regular viewers, even a 10% loss of mkt is only 1.5M viewers and XYZ will continue to receive ad. revenue.

3) Any large changes in viewer behavior are likely to be played out over years, not days or months. This means that, say, the penalty for CBS trying to unseat the sitting president in 2004 with fradulent documents is only going to be visible in retrospect 10 or 20 years from now, assuming there is a penalty.

4) The media really are so big as to be immune. Viacom (CBS owner) airs fradulent documents with the presumed intent of electing John Kerry in 2004, less than 3 months before a national election. What are the actual consequences, aside from a few firings, for the parent company?

The internet moonbats who have hated Bush and those “Corrupt” Republicans with every fiber of thier being for so many years are JUST NOW starting to realize how corrupt and UNDEMOCRATIC the DEMOCRATIC PARTY process really is.

It’s beginning to dawn on the droolers that they really will have NO INPUT into who the nominee will be.

This thread on DailyKos pretty much says it all:
Jill Derby, Chair of the Nevada State Party, also spoke out on delegates as the results came in. She emphasized that national delegate counts are “based upon an assumption that delegate preferences will remain the same,” when in fact they could change at the convention. Derby added a disconcerting line to hammer the point home: “We look forward to our county and state conventions where we will choose the delegates for the nominee that Nevadans support.”

Translation: If this thing is close, “we” party insiders will “choose” for the rest of the state.”

And "if I may add", Hillary has delegates already in line to give her
the nomination. HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL!


Whomever the REPUB nominee may be, they should "not" go offensive
on the RATS due to the infighting that almost certainly will erupt
within the ranks of their "chosen process".

Let loose the dogs of WAR Liberals! Let them eat their own!


This will certainly be one election year to remember.
I truly enjoy living through history in the making.

/Salute & GOD BLESS
