Hillary: "New Political Icon"
Clinton's European Triumph
July 8, 2003

An admiring overseas media is greeting with skepticism Hillary Clinton's declaration that she will not be a presidential candidate, as the Democratic New York Senator concluded her ten-day day tour of Europe promoting her book, "Living History."
While in Europe, Clinton attacked U.S. President George Bush, his policies, and called into question the validity of his election.
Clinton flatly denied that her book is a "path to the presidency of the United States," asserting, "that is not the reason I wrote the book," according to a report in the German news daily, Der Spiegel.
"That is not necessarily the last … word," added Der Spiegel, expressing a widely held belief that Clinton will make a bid for the U.S. presidency.
In Germany, Clinton's book is second in popularity only to "Stupid White Men," Michael Moore's assault on Bush and conservatives.
Hillary will be the "new political icon," according to Der Spiegel, which gave Clinton a glowing review of her interview on the German television talk show, "Sabine Christiansen."
Clinton's statements were "cautious" and "circumspect" during the talk show, which included appearances by several important German political and business leaders, Der Spiegel said.
Earlier, Clinton was the featured guest on the British Broadcasting Corporation's television program, "Breakfast with David Frost."
In response to Frost's respectful questions, Clinton stated that she stands for the "same policies" as her husband, former U.S. President Bill Clinton.
Senator Clinton characterized her husband's proposal for socialized medicine, a generally rejected attempt at social engineering, as "too much, too fast."
She described her husband's period in office as "extraordinarily positive," reflecting that Bill Clinton wore the duties of the presidency "lightly and with humility."
While expressing unlimited support for her husband's policies, Clinton clearly was less than certain about the future of their marriage.
Although Clinton disclosed that she hoped her union with Bill was "forever," she added thoughtfully, "one never knows."
When Frost asked her about the 2000 presidential election, Clinton sidestepped accusations of Bush illegally assuming office, but she added that Bush did "prevent" Democrat Al Gore from "being inaugurated."
During the Frost interview, Clinton criticized what she referred to as Bush's "unipolar" view of international relations, using a term often employed by Moscow, Beijing and Havana in their condemnations of U.S. foreign policy.
Clinton stated that she gives her support to a "multipolar" foreign policy, a term Russia, Communist China, and Cuba have used for at least six years to describe their vision of a "new world order," with the United States subsumed to the United Nations.

We know the reason: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
She dresses like 'em....she talks like 'em.......she thinks like 'em........she is one of 'em
Hey!!!!!!!! I think you owe pieces of $hit everywhere an apology.
Hmmmm....Bubba just bought new digs in Ireland. How would that affect a divorce settlement with the Old Bat?
I think there's a simple answer to the Ireland property....
No CC Club in the U.S. wants his lying, cheating, habitual mulligan taking ass on their course.
That's all you need to know about what the Marxist witch has in store for America.
The reality is that "multi-polarity" was never a unifying idea, or a vision. It was a necessary evil that sustained the absence of war but it did not promote the triumph of peace. Mulit-polarity is a theory of rivalry; of competing interests -- and at its worst -- competing values.
We have tried this before. It led to the Great War -- which cascaded into the Good War, which gave way to the Cold War. Today this theory of rivalry threatens to divert us from meeting the great tasks before us.
Why would anyone who shares the values of freedom seek to put a check on those values? Democratic institutions themselves are a check on the excesses of power. Why should we seek to divide our capacities for good, when they can be so much more effective united? Only the enemies of freedom would cheer this division.
Power in the service of freedom is to be welcomed, and powers that share a commitment to freedom can -- and must -- make common cause against freedom's enemies. This is not a description of a unipolar world. As the President's National Security Strategy states, "there is little lasting consequence that the United States can accomplish in the world without the sustained cooperation of allies and friends."
Today, it is the combined strength of Europe, the United States and other freedom-loving democracies that stands against the tyrants and the angry few seeking to impose their will on the many.
For more than half a century Europe worked hard to make intra-European conflict no more than a memory . . . and to channel Europe's vast resources and energies towards productive, life-affirming ends. The vision was to rid Europe of "poles" and to unite Europeans around shared goals and common values.
hflynn - lol!
Would that include fellatio in the Oval Office? And would she be the guilty one "having sex" or the innocent one "receiving sex"?
And, the moment she announces her candidacy, we need to get one thing straight: What is the meaning of "is", precisely?

Abstract: The Logan Act was intended to prohibit United States citizens without authority from interfering in relations between the United States and foreign governments. There appear to have been no prosecutions under the Act in its almost 200 year history. However, there have been a number of judicial references to the Act, and it is not uncommon for it to be used as a political weapon. Although attempts have been made to repeal the Act, it remains law and at least a potential sanction to be used against anyone who without authority interferes in the foreign relations of the United States.
Book 'em, Dan-o.
For 1st degree boorishness, felonious self-importance and aggravated corruption.
Regardless of the meaning of "is"...
So true. Didn't Hillary have her SS detail carry a port-o-potty for her on the taxpayer-funded trip to the Great Wall in China? Payback's a b*tch.
