She seemed diminished by the fact that the event hadn't been built around her, didn't star her, wasn't arranged by her. There were other people there, other candidates on the stage, and she looked like she was in a contest for a change.

That is why I compare her to Beria or Stalin himself. They would never tolerate dissent, debate--only total obedience and adulation.

That is why blasting away at Hillary should continue no matter how hard she plays the "victim" card. Let her play it--but never give up pointing out her countless lies and endless corruption of speech, values, and ultimately, politics itself.

The Daily Kos morons are all on Obama's side. He is like their messiah.

(Hint: Hillary is the modern Beria--Obama the modern clown. :-) )

LOL. Excellent analogy.

Like watching Michael Spinks fight Mike Tyson, you wish they would both get knocked out!

This is a warning to anyone who would cross The Wicked Witch of NY.

Oh .. I'm sorry .. I thought it said he owned Whole Foods.

As for Ralphs .. guess I'll have to change stores.

Regardless of Geffen's motives his attack was right on and pretty damaging from the left.

Nah, but you're still right -- Whole Foods is overpriced and, I think, a bit over-rated. We used to go to Ralph's, but when we learned about Burkle, we started going to Von's or Albertson's or whatever else was in the vicinity.

Off topic, but I'm still missing In-N-Out!

This the best the Hitlery attack machine can come up with?

This is just a little taste meant to get Geffen's attention. Hillary doesn't want to destroy him just yet - she just wants him the "see the error of his ways" and come back onto the plantation before it's too late. She still wants his money and influence within Hollywood.

Of course, if he continues to support Obama, Hillary will try to finish him off for good at a later time.

Yeah .. Von's has redone one of their locations close to me and my neighbor is always raving about them. Maybe I'll give them a try.

My doctor won't allow me to eat any hamburger except "Burger King" - because they're grilled and not fried. And .. I can only have them on very special occasions .. darn cholesterol!

Insiders say Geffen - a billionaire who started in the music industry and co-founded DreamWorks with Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg - moved quickly to host a fund-raiser for Obama when he learned that an L.A. event for Hillary Clinton had been scheduled.

Then, Geffen went public, calling Bill a "reckless guy" and Hillary an "incredibly polarizing figure." "Everybody in politics lies, but they [the Clintons] do it with such ease, it's troubling," Geffen said.

The Yucaipa Corporate Initiatives Fund recently backed up a bid by Diversified Investment Management Group to take over Piccadilly Restaurants.

DIMG is described by Fashion Week Daily "as a front for Ron Burkle," close friend and financial supporter of Bill and Hillary Clinton. He's also the chairman of Yucaipa.

The hundreds of millions flowing from California retirement funds come courtesy of California Treasurer Phil Angelides, a longtime Clinton political ally...

Meanwhile, the workers whose pensions have been invested in Yucaipa are getting a terrible deal. According to CALSTARS, California teachers have already committed $61.9 million of the $150 million that they promised Yucaipa. As of last March 31, three years after the venture started, they'd seen a grand total of $837 come back to them. Overall, the rate of return since the funds launched have been a loss of 12.1 percent.

CALPERS has not done much better. After pouring more than $116 million into various Yucaipa ventures since 2002, it's seen a return of $55,963.

AT the same time, Yucaipa is also collecting hefty fees for managing the pension funds' investments — more than $3 million a year from CALPERS, and $3.5 million a year from the New York Common Retirement Fund. How much of this ends up in Bill Clinton's pocket is anybody's guess. He's not disclosing his fees.

And why is Sen. Hillary Clinton, who appears to be so concerned about the state of our pension systems, silent about this?

Why are they ignoring what Bill Clinton and Yucaipa are doing with hundreds of millions in pension money?

This reminds me of Insight mag's Hillary-outs-Obama story. Insight new it was being used by the Clintons so they printed the story -- along with who gave it to them.

The Hillary camp was stunned and they put out a few MSMers to codemn Insight, but rest assured that Insight will not be used to launder any more stories on behalf of the Clintonistas.
