Hillary's New Low
American Prowler ^ | March 31, 2003 | Unknown

Posted on 03/31/2003 3:40:39 AM PST by conservativecorner

The death of retired New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan has written yet another chapter in the bitter war between junior senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and senior senator Charles Schumer. Last Wednesday both senators received calls from the Moynihan family informing them of the senator's death as well as of their plans to announce his passing at a time convenient to the family.

Both Clinton and Schumer were participating in meetings when the calls came but evidently did not want to miss out on the PR buzz that would come from announcing the great Moynihan's death themselves.

"Clinton could barely contain herself with the news," says a Senate Democratic staffer present at the meeting Hillary was attending along with a number of other Democratic senators. "She practically ran out the door to make the announcement."

Clinton beat both Schumer's and the Moynihan family's announcements by several hours. But Schumer, instead of being angry at Clinton's ghastly behavior, was more upset that she did not follow Senate protocol and allow the state's senior senator to make the announcement.

Word now is that both Clinton and Schumer are jockeying for the better seating position at Moynihan's funeral.

Sen. Moynihan defeated that witch by turning back her "health care/communism lite" initiative. I hope that he earned a bunch of gold stars for that.

I am about halfway through Dereliction of Duty and although most of us here know alot more about the Clintons than most people, there are some new lows in this book that will make you sick of them all over again. This is so disgraceful that both Senators would fight over the spotlight upon his death, I just wish his family would speak out about their disgust one day of her lack of integrity. Have you noticed how she always brings up "When I was First Lady",....when talking on the Senate floor? She was alot of firsts, but lady wasn't one of them.

I sent her office and email asking how many 9/11 victims' funerals she attended. I never received a response; I've never received responses to ANY e-mails.

CNN - of course - broadcast her Senate floor eulogy on Moynihan. I don't know which was more disgusting. That she stole the floor, or that CNN showed it.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is a craven, putrid cesspool of self-serving wretched excess. I wish the family of the deceased would reward her behavior by excluding her from the funeral. But, they are probably afraid of the Hillary Fedayeen.

As much as I despise the Democrat party Moynihan lent them a measure of legitamicy and sanity while he was an active senator. Many times he stood out as the rational mind when congressional hearings turned ugly and was respected by friend and foe alike.
I mistook him for a homosexual until filled in on his tough upbringing and military service. Proof of not judging the book by its cover.

Hillary should just get Hill-PAC to chip in for the Jumbo-Tron so that her image will fit and be seen by one and all at the funeral... there may even be room for members of the Moynihan family on that old Jumbo-Tron, but I'm sure Hillary will insist that someone make the plea that "you must go out and WIN, WIN, WIN for Patrick!"

Please substitute the words CAMPAIGN APPEARANCE for the word FUNERAL. The Dems are adept at turning these things into a PEP Rally as they have shown at Wellstones Funeral PEP RALLY. A variation of this would be a Fund Raising Event appeal to defeat the "appointed non President".
Gwad, when will they quit this crap.

I agree he was a man of integrity and would be disgusted at the traditions being broken in the Senate now that Hillary is in control. I used to get mad at how the Senate was always so low keyed when I thought the Republicans should push harder on an issue, but they tried to keep a sense of decorum in debates. Hillary doesn't respect honor, intergrity, keeping a pledge between senators, etc. She is driven by destruction and the lust for power. Her attributes lack all that is admirable or honorable. She should never be privy to military secrets and I find her ability to have that access very frightening.

The fact that "The Former 1st Criminal" is still free and "The Junior Criminal" from a state (of confusion), underscores the fragility of FReedom.

I was changing channels and happened to catch her doing that floor speech on Cspan. I listened for a couple of minutes since I hadn't known Moynihan had passed away. I then changed the channel quickly while remarking to my husband, "You know, Hillary's voice is like someone running their fingernails down a chalkboard." She feels the need to talk loudly, almost a yell, even though she has a mike on.

Moynihan talked the talk, but always voted party line.

I hope he burns in hell.

Maybe she can arrange to stand heroically on Moynihan's coffin as it is carried to the grave site.

How about we settle that with a duel to the death. Swords, guns, knives, blow dryers -- who cares. A NO LOSE PROPOSITION if ever there was one.

No surprise, to an elected democrat all is fair in politics if it gives a chance for face time and grand-standing.

Sen. Moynihan defeated that witch

and he also set her up to be his successor. That should get thermostat for his cell in Hell turned up a few extra notches. It also should get the Beast the best seat at his funeral.

Or do DimRATs still have funerals? Maybe they should put him in the 'fridge until the 2004 election, then throw one of those Wellstone-type Death Rallies.

"You know, Hillary's voice is like someone running their fingernails down a chalkboard."

Heh-heh-heh........I'm very happy that Hillary sounds the way she does. That harsh tone of voice in any woman causes normal males to go into instinctive revulsion/disgust/defense mode.

Hillary!'s unbearably shrill voice is just one more reason why this angry FemiNazi dyke will NEVER be elected President, EVER.

As far as using the dead for publicity by getting seating positioning at a funeral, Hitlerly accomplished just that when JFK Jr. died. In Christopher Anderson's "The Last Days of JFK Jr.", he says JFK Jr.'s sister wanted a quiet funeral and not a public spectacle, which is why she turned down the big pageantry at St. Patrick's Cathedral and instead opted for a small Catholic church on East 89th St. that Jackie took them to when they were kids. (Uncle Teddy argued that he wanted a public spectacle for John-John and lost.)

The Clintons were not invited to the funeral by the Kennedy family, but seeing her chance for free NY publicity for her senatorial run, Hitlerly invited herself to the funeral, which is why they ended up there. Can't say I feel sorry for the Kennedys, though, when they were out there being photographed having sailboat rides and clambakes in Hyannis with Ma and Pa Clinton, and endorsing Her Heinous's senate run. You sleep with fleas, you wake up with fleas.

Moynihan was a far left elistist liberal. One of his most outstanding near achievements was a special onerous tax on bullets.

Its both fittng and proper that two left-wing jackels should jockey over his corpse.

Lest we forget, it was at Moynihan's upstate New York farm that she announced her candidacy for Senate, and he backer her 100%.

True, he "passed the torch" and flushed away all that hard-won credibility. It must so suck to be a liberal Democrat, all chewed up by hate and pettiness.
