Tim Russert: "Will you run in 2008?"

Hillary Clinton: "I have no plans to run for president"--NBC's "Meet the Press," 9/15/02

Really? According to a prominent supporter and Arkansan who's known her a long time, Hillary's apparently always had her sights set on the Oval Office.

Retired General Wesley Clark, a member of Team Hillary, appeared on today's Morning Joe and had this exchange with host Joe Scarborough.

View video here.

Clark lets the cat out of the bag ping to Today show list.

Weasely Clark is the first of many, many people who will be stabbing Mrs. Clinton in the back over the next few days. The line stretches out the door and around the block, and knives are suddenly in short supply.

Now, for my favorite part or the program, where Mrs. Clinton poisons the well...

[Ditter]

We knew when she announced in 02 that she did NOT want to run that she was lying. That will make her defeat by Obama all the more delicious. I have decided to stay out of the democrat primary and let the dims sink her on their own. I plan on writing Thompson in at the Repub primary.

[purpleraine]

Clinton’s sec of the DOD.

[Daveinyork]

Hillary lied? Imagine that.

[newheart]

Having spent the last several years butt-snorkeling for a VP position, or at least a cabinet position in the “inevitable” Clinton administration, Wesley Clark has a real problem on his hands. He bet on the wrong horse. Now he has to start (subtly) to suck up to Obama or his political career is over again (for the umpteenth time.)

The rats are clearly jumping ship.

Wesley Clark is a very very good friend of the Clintons, always has been, always will be.

[Allegra]

What a QUAGMIRE Hillary’s campaign has become. ;-)

Poor Wesley . He thought he was the Storming Norman of the Balkans war while American saw him as Peewee Herman playing soldier.

How do you keep it together when some audacious interloper sneaks in and steals the opportunity you’ve been working for your entire life?

Maybe Hillary could get some meaningful insight from NY Democrat from Nita Lowey.

She better put some ice on that, as Bill would counsel.

LOLOLOL, Allegra! Perfect! :-)

Wonder how many people remember poor old Nita getting shoved out of the way when The Queen decided she wanted Daniel Patrick Moynihan's Senate seat. IIRC, it had been widely thought that Nita would be Moynihan's successor in NY.

But of course, it's the Clinton way - just bulldoze over anyone and anything that stands in the way of their insatiable thirst for power.

[PGalt]

Poor Hillaryous! She should have saved her “willing suspension of disbelief” speech for the man who deserves it...Obama. She is dumber than she looks.

LOL!

[BunnySlippers]

Remember she accused Obama of wanting it since kindergarten.

[jaydubya2]

Obama also denied any interest in running for Pres after he won the Senator spot.

[The Ghost of Rudy McRomney]

I’ll second that with another LOL!

[iopscusa]

I don’t know but that Weeezley Clark may have still a shot at Omammi, from some reports he can really smoke a pole...

"Poor Wesley . He thought he was the Storming Norman of the Balkans war while American saw him as Peewee Herman playing soldier."

Think the guy was called 'The Perfumed Prince" back then by his men.......
