[Utah Girl]

Yes, I sat through it. I was glad to hear the Senator from New York sit down with Baba Wawa for an hour. What struck me most was her absolute belief the she and her husband did nothing - nothing - of any substance to deserve the kind of scrutiny they got in eight years in office. Their only fault was naivete. I guess I'm not surprised by therigidity of her denial and composure. But something in me hoped for a little more - maybe a real reflection on her choices, her decisions, her unelected power, her stonewalling of the press, her enabling of her husband's adulterous relationship with the truth, and so on. But nope. And then there the sheer fakery of it all. I really wish the real Hillary would simply come out of her shell and be in public what everybody says she is in private: caustic, decisive, aggressive, witty, ambitious, smart. What we saw last night was some saccharine, perfectly-spun middle American home-maker turning literally every question into a perfectly formulated political bromide. Its phoniness made me gag. And at its center is an obvious, big, glaring fib: that she never had an inkling of her husband's long pattern of sexual abuse and harrassment until the August morning he told her of his latest victim. This stretches credulity beyond even Clintonite limits. And what equally amazes is that her litany of "innocent victims" never seems to include the victims of her husband's sexual abuse. Perhaps she cannot as a feminist believe what so many women have testified to about her husband, so she simply pretends they don't exist. They are invisible to her because they have to be. Her husband's perjury and sexual harrassment don't appear to have concerned her on moral grounds; and they concern her still only as a function of the obstacles they place in the way of her own political ambitions. That was true then; and her fibs now are yet another arbitrary layer of deception to keep her upward path smooth. My broader take on her book and her role in American politics can be read here.

I so clips of the interview. I truly believe Hillary is without conscience..

[Russell Scott]

The Clintons: delusion, illusion, collusion, and no solutions.

[cardinal4]

Whoops! I SAW clips....

[lainde]

Mercifully, someone called me during the interview..I only watched the pictures and even then I was nauseated.

[holyh2o]

Pure scum, she has no shame

[nopardons]

I watched the whole vomitacious thing. I can't believe I managed to do so.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Where I live, this is airing now.Sullivan says--"Her husband's perjury and sexual harrassment don't appear to have concerned her on moral grounds; and they concern her still only as a function of the obstacles they place in the way of her own political ambitions. That was true then; and her fibs now are yet another arbitrary layer of deception to keep her upward path smooth."

True then and more true now!! Garbage - nothing but.

What kind of tree would Hillary be?

[Atchafalaya]

What else can she say; in for a penny in for a pound. How would you like to be trapped in the trick bag of lies she's in? I hope it get's worse!

[Atchafalaya]

The one the dog pisses on; 8xdaily.

[sd-joe]

>> "What kind of tree would Hillary be?"

A poisonous bitch tree.

[COUNTrecount]

"What kind of tree would Hillary be?"

A C#@t tree.

When 'Queen Hillary' walks down the hall, you're not supposed to look at her. You're actually supposed to go into an office if there is one nearby. She doesn't want staff 'seeing' her. And I know she sure as hell doesn't want to meet you or any other staffer!"


Gary Aldrich, "Unlimited Access"

"I'm doing my chores for Hillary Clinton."

Ron Brown (On his commerce department crimes) To Nolanda Hill


"I will not go down alone."


Ron Brown (Days before his death, On his plea agreement with the DOJ) TO Bill Clinton



Any of this stuff in this tissue of lies?

This poor excuse for a woman has built her political career and her fortune on the backs of the ignorant American electorate. She directed the administration and the actions of Bill Clinton much like a parent directs the actions of their children. She gave him his pass to enjoy illicit sex much like a parent doling out an allowance to an adolescent child.

She had her finger on everything that went on in that administration.

These two needed to be put out of business; instead the voters of New Yarkansas elected the most evil woman in the world their senator!

[randita]

Her husband's perjury and sexual harrassment don't appear to have concerned her on moral grounds;

Thank you, Andrew Sullivan, for referencing the real grounds for Clinton's impeachment.

The whole past week, the campaign to label the impeachment as a "private matter", "just about sex" has been a steady drumbeat.

The truth has to be asserted yet again, that the impeachment was about perjury, obstruction of justice and contempt of court.

[fml]

A swamp oak. They grow crooked and ugly but strong. I could only watch a little bit, she's more than a little nausiating.

"Senatuh Cwinton, if you could be a twee, what would you be?"
"Well, I've been called a birch."
"That's cwose, that's vewy cwose."
"What are you talking about?"
"Hiwwawee, would you say the Pwesident was a phiwandewuh?"
"A what?"
"Would you say he  was a wady-kiwwuh?"
"What?"
"Did Biww skwoo awound with pawamouhs?"
"I surrender.  What are you talking about?"
"Thank you and we'w be wight back!"

[small voice in the wilderness]

She couldn't get away with it if not for the enablers of the world. And barbara walters is at the top. She did everything but offer to wipe hillary's a**. The clintons can do no more nor less than they are ALLOWED to get away with. And this is what makes me sick to my stomach. And YES, I include Republican Senators in my rant. They failed to understand the risks involved in not doing their Constitutional duty. The question now is: what's the next step in neutralizing this pair of deplorable creatures>

[Ditter]

You are a tougher girl than I. I watched most of it but near the end my eyes began to glaze over & I needed a lemon to suck on to overcome the sacharine sweetness of hillarys persona. When I returned from the kitchen, thankfully it was over & I could watch John Gibson on FOX.
