NOTE: Although Hillary Clinton touts her foreign policy experience, being right there with her husband, the New York Times' Patrick Healy reports that she did not have a security clearance and did not sit in on NSC briefings. Now recall this from the late David Hackworth. Monica Lewinsky did have TOP SECRET clearance. Perhaps she should be the one in the Dem primaries touting her experience. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ DEFENDING AMERICA David H.

--SNIP-- Inside the Bill gang and the Hillary gang, there is panic and perplexity. Is Bill a loyal spouse or a subconscious saboteur? “For the first time since the Marc Rich pardon,” said a friend of the Clintons, “Bill is seriously diminishing his personal standing with the people closest to him.” And certainly he feels that his legacy is tied to her. When Bill gets slit-eyed, red-faced and finger-wagging in defense of Hillary, is he really defending himself, ego in full bloom, against aspersions Obama and Edwards cast on Clintonian politics? Maybe the Boy Who Can’t Help Himself is simply...

This post maybe a bit clumsy, but I stumbled home last night from work & dinner and turned on the television to find the Clintons on Entertainment Tonight. Prepare yourself and watch at your own precaution this is truly nauseous.

LEBANON, N.H. -- A week after causing his wife's presidential campaign a headache by saying he had opposed the Iraq war from the start, former President Clinton accused the news media on Tuesday of misrepresenting his remarks.

Politics: Hoping to improve his co-president's chances in Iowa, Slick Willie says he was against Iraq from the beginning. So just who signed the Iraq Liberation Act? Millard Fillmore?Speaking in Muscatine, Iowa, on Tuesday, William Jefferson Clinton uttered perhaps the mother of all falsehoods when he tried to explain that wealthy people such as himself should pay more taxes in time of war. Rewriting history, Clinton said: "Even though I approved of Afghanistan and opposed Iraq from the beginning, I still resent that I was not asked or given the opportunity to support those soldiers." First, let us repeat our...

*snip* "He has no core values," Mrs. Willey said of the former president. "He is a predator and a sex addict." Now, she says, she is more worried about the intentions of the presidential hopeful behind the "sex predator," Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom she dubs the ex-president's "enabler." Mrs. Clinton has "enabled his behavior as a sex addict," Ms. Willey said. "She has allowed herself to be humiliated by him in front of the whole world. This is what has happened all their marriage. It's reprehensible, and it continues to this day." Other authors have made similar charges. Ms....

If Hillary Clinton wins the US presidency, Bill Clinton will be given the job of repairing America's damaged international reputation, the former president tells the Guardian in an interview today. Mr Clinton, 61, reveals that his wife has said she would ask him to "go out and immediately restore America's standing, go out and tell people America was open for business and cooperation again" after eight years marked by unilateralist policies that have "enrage[d] the world".

Shocka of the Day: Did Clinton Lie about Targeting Bin Laden? Rick Moran If there is one thing that the Inspector General's report on CIA accountability regarding 9/11 has highlighted, it is the utter failure of the Clinton Administration to come up with a strategic plan to deal with Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda. Despite all the testimony from Richard Clarke and others - including the President himself - that they agressively went after Bin Laden and the terrorists, it turns out that the IG at the CIA didn't think very much of their efforts. In fact, the report seems...

How much did this transformation cost her? Yes, this really is the same person. Spewing Hate on the Internet, Anonymous, With No Accountability Sunday , August 12, 2007 By Susan Estrich Most mornings, my assistant goes through my e-mail before I do, culling out the ones that are simply vicious, vindictive and mean, so I don’t have to see them. Our rule is that threats get reported to the police, while mere ugliness just gets deleted. But once in a while, I get up early or she gets in late, and I make the mistake of clicking on messages I...

Now, I will be the first to admit that the GOP was very disappointing in the 2006 election cycle and although the Republicans have improved significantly in a lot of areas, they're still not doing as much as conservatives have asked them to do on spending, corruption, immigration, and foreign policy. That being said, while conservatives need to continue to hold the feet of the GOP to the fire, as we did in the illegal immigration fight, we should not forget the potential perils of having a Democratic President at this sensitive time in our nation's history. Today's Democratic Party...

Her critics can finally pin her down. Hillary haters have something beside their votes to express displeasure with the New York senator and presidential wannabe - the Hillary Clinton voodoo doll, complete with a book of hexes, pins and a battle cry to "stick it to her, before she sticks it to you!" The voodoo doll spell book advises using black magic to inspire "Hillary's chubby hubby to take some embarrassing missteps" by shacking up with a woman who'll "go public when the dirty deed is done." You can also form her platform by having her promise "gay divorce" and...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Former President Bill Clinton said Friday that disasters such as worldwide famine and an obesity epidemic threaten the country's stability unless politicians begin to look ahead and cooperate

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Former President Bill Clinton said Friday sanctions against Iran were working better than people think and questioned whether a military strike would work to end its nuclear program. He argued that two-thirds of Iran's population wants a moderate government and that sanctions could have some influence on the nation's powerful clerics. "We may not have to go to war, and we may not have a disaster," he told about 9,000 gathered at Kansas State University. "You need to talk to everybody before you bomb them. In other words, if you're going to fight with somebody _ I...

WASHINGTON - There's one thing that's been missing from Sen. Hillary Clinton's 2008 rollout -- her would-be White House spouse, Bill Clinton. But the New York Daily News has learned that will soon change, with plans for a mega fundraiser next month where top backers will be asked to raise $250,000 apiece. So far, Bill has stayed out of sight in the campaign, "doing about anything you can imagine in terms of behind-the-scenes help," said one campaign source. That includes working the phones to line up donors and supporters. Hillary Clinton's top Democratic rivals, meanwhile, all have trotted out their...

The Chinese are beating the U.S. in the new "space race," a military strategy expert says. Australia-born defense analyst Greg Copley claims Communist China is working fast towards controlling space with its weapons technology and may even set up the first military base on the moon. Hear This Report Greg Copley, president of the International Strategic Studies Association (ISSA), says the United States may have won the race to put a man on the moon decades ago; but the Communist Chinese, he believes, have clearly moved ahead of America in the military space race. One recent indication of that, he...

Hillary Internet CampaignHitlery announces decision to use Internet for her election campaign. Sample video?

THE HAGUE, Netherlands -- Former President Bill Clinton on Thursday endorsed the idea of talks with Iran and Syria to help ease the bloodletting in Iraq, saying it would also be in Tehran's interests. Clinton spoke in the Netherlands the day after the Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan panel that included senior officials from his administration, proposed engaging the two Middle Eastern countries -- and U.S. foes -- in the search for peace in Iraq.

<p>“Republicans will have you believe that Democrats will tax you into the poor house and that you’ll meet a terrorist around every corner and trip over an illegal immigrant on the way there.”</p> <p>Clinton, unlike Kerry, did not “botch” the joke because the assembled crowd roared with laughter. Terrorism warnings are something to laugh about for this crowd. But they are “serious” about the war on terror and want the American people to trust them to fight it effectively.</p>

Deconstructing Clinton is a lot easier than parsing sentences. Language has its own structure and rules, what we call grammar and syntax. It is these things that allow us to communicate efficiently with each other, even when we are not schooled in the rules of language. But in Clinton’s post-modernist world there are no rules because there is no reality. Existence is a matter of opinion and reality is what I think it ought to be. In such a world facts are fiction and fiction is reality with each reality being as good as any other. Hence whatever I say...

For about five years in the 1990s, the cigar industry luxuriated in a wild sales boom when celebrities and trendy 20-somethings decided that puffing imported, hand-rolled stogies was The Next Big Thing. The bubble burst when the supply of quality tobacco couldn't keep up with demand. The market became flooded with inferior but pricey cigars hastily rolled with lower grade tobacco, as many of the poseurs and neophytes moved on to something else. In the years since, the industry has enjoyed a quiet, steady climb. The bad product is mostly gone, the market settled and refined tobacco growing methods make...
