Drudge has this below up with no link. But pay attention to the reporter's name:
NYT Plans Sunday Exclusive on Questionable Clinton Library donors... Reporter Don Van Natta... Developing...
He's a serious award-winning investigative journalist ... and co-author with Jeff Gerth of Her Way:
link: Prosecutors later came to believe that Hillary had padded her bills; she "wasn't guilty of [knowingly] facilitating nefarious transactions -- she was guilty of doing less work than she took credit for," Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr. explain in their 2007 biography, Her Way. Hillary herself never took refuge in this explanation.
Somehow I'm thinking Hillary isn't pleased re Her Way:
Van Natta: "We also show that she has a sort of secret side to her Senate office. We call it the mysteries of Hillaryland in the book where she actually had people on, employees of hers, people on her payroll, who she did not divulge as she was supposed to, according to Senate rules, and we have ethics experts raising questions about that."
Gerth: "She is now running for president, and we felt that people needed to understand how, how she acts in the political arena and, and use that as a basis for deciding whether she is qualified to be president or not. And, you know, in essence, we sort of found that there are two Hillarys. In, in one case, there's the well-informed, the battle-tested, the diligent senator who does her homework. And then we found another Hillary. When it comes to a bump in the road -- whether it is on Iraq or on energy policy or on the environment, where she has a problem, that she plays fast and loose with the facts, she won't admit a mistake, and she sort of, you know, retreats into a shell."
This is so much fun:)
So she really is battle-tested. She nearly got caught a thousand times breaking every kind of law we have. BUT SHE IS STILL ABLE TO RUN AS A FRONTRUNNER FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. That's battle-tested. Just ask Pellicano, Vince, McDougal, Willey, Broadderick, etc.
Yeah, we saw what her heroes, the Soviets, did each time one of them was in power over their political enemies. For you and for so many others she cannot be allowed to win.
I agree that Edwards is definitely “sitting pretty” (oops for the pun) about now. He will be the hardest to beat.
Yes, and over Algore’s grave we can put a waste treatment center and reuse the “water!”
“I WILL be the nominee”...... - Hillary
Be very afraid of anybody who wants to be President that badly.
Your objections should derail him, but my point, as I thought I made clear, is that the electorate is increasingly vulnerable to demagoguery. People don’t think much anymore, they are easily swayed by Obama’s appeal to “rise above the partisanship,” to “see the nuances” “instead of black and white only.” It’s part of the chickification of the culture—women (and gelded NPR-listening men) think men are too combative, to competitive etc. and that their superior female wisdom will save the world. When they hear an attractive man spouting “I’m not like those other guys (men) who are such hardbitten policy wonks, I’m more nuanced, etc.,” they feel (not think) that here truly is someone who can lead us out of the wilderness of men bashing each other over the head with ideas all these centuries, which is what leads to wars and poverty and corporate greed, dontcha know.
Perhaps we are not yet over the demagogic hill, but I fear we are. That’s why Obama’s dangerous. By comparison, Hillary does politics like those evil, competitive, testosterone, warmongering men do politics. Even when she tries to talk out of both sides, triangulate etc., people see through it. When Obama does exactly the same move (his real policies are exactly like Hillary’s), he’s adored for it by the chicks (and gelded man-chicks) who make up much of the population today.
ROFLMAO Great thinking!!! We should also put him some kind of containment to capture the escaping gases.
When I hear “Clinton Library got funds from a broad,” I wonder “no surprise there, how much did Streisand contribute?”
You’d better start taking Obama seriously. He is in fact an empty suit, was nothing until the Democrat machine in Chicago made him something, but he’s a very slick empty suit and the electorate is increasingly unable to spot empty suits, witness, 8 years of B.J.
Of course, it is possible the party regulars coalesce around Edwards, but somehow I think the smart money will move to Obama as the next Camelot king, thinking they can ride his mojo back into holding the reins of power.
I’ll be very pleased if he turns out to be easily defeatable, but right now, I think it’s foolish simply to assume that. Don’t misunderstimate him. I’ve watched him in Illinois since he was a nobody and he has been underestimated repeatedly. Don’t make that mistake until you have evidence that he’s actually failed. And so far, we don’t have that evidence, rather, precisely the contrary evidence.
‘Boma’s wife is a kook and flake of the first order. She says inappropriate things in public. I guarantee you that girl Huma knows how to behave, in fact she would be an asset to any man or woman she’s on the arm of
I agree, there is something likable about the way Obama comes off.
Voters love optimism whether it relates to the facts or not.
That cuts both ways, if you get my point. Theres some unfair generalizations one can "imply" about Barack that can motivate an anti-Barack constituency, that wont show up in polling. (Virginia candidate Wilder can probably attest to that)
I think the major thing working against him is his shallow experiences , weak networking, and a total (not triangulated) weakness on policy positions, which will probably kick in to much of the numbed-out public during the last week in October, IMO.
It’s 3:20 PM EST Saturday — anybody see the COKED OUT WHORE pimping for Hillary on Fox News!?!?
SHE IS STONED — look at her classic “coke eyes.”
Great Cartoon:
Freepers may be in store for a X-Mas present of monumental proportions related to a deal in the works to link a new counterpoint organization to MoveOn.org with the Paul v Hillary Clinton civil fraud suit in California which will begin discovery early next year. The Judge already guaranteed Hillary will be under oath.
The X-mas present is a titanic administrative complaint being prepared for filing late next week. The complaint will detail how the Department of Justice defined in May, 2005 conduct that constituted a crime punishable with 5 years in jail. In January, 2006 Hillary directly engaged in the identical crime,as confirmed by the public record, with the active involvement and support of a federal commission that monitors these crimes. The timing of this revelation will make a great stocking stuffer for Hillary.
