Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is working hard to master the ins and the outs of the Unites States military, the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to report. Editors have set a Tuesday Page One placement for Pat Healy's detailed dispatch, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.. Of all the early problems Bill Clinton faced as president, few stand out to Hillary as more aggravating and avoidable than his rocky relationship with the military, her advisers tell Healy.

This is incredible. Listen to the audio. After listening to this blatant phony and fool, I thought to myself: "And the Democrats and the Media dare to criticize Bush?" I would be monumentally embarrassed to be a Democrat after listening to this.

  Courtesy StopHerNow.com With the nearest 2008 presidential primaries still about a year away, Republican opponents of Hillary Clinton have launched a humorous website they hope derails her nomination – a nomination, they fear, could be a guaranteed first step to the presidency.

Hillary Clinton finally has her chance and she blows it. At a town hall meeting in Chicago last Sunday, Clinton was asked if she would make a good president. In response, she joked that her background "equips me to deal ... with evil and bad men." And she drew a lot of laughs. Many in the audience -- and those of us watching news reports later that evening -- believed her remarks could have pertained to her philandering husband, former President Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton came across as having some chutzpah when she wryly made her uncharacteristic humorous remark. But...

The gloves are off and the candidates have already begun swinging. Obama has received key support and contributors, but has yet to display the political muscles that Hillary has known for decades. This campaign can’t afford one misstep that is why Hillary Rodham Clinton will stick to five basic themes in the race for the White House in the 2008 Campaign:

Public Ethics: Amazing how fast corruption's odor trails the Clintons. Just as Hillary announces she's running for president as her own woman, we now learn her brother got loans he never had to repay. Same old grifters. That should be a warning, because the seedy memory of the Clinton scandals has faded since Bill and Hillary left the White House in 2001, pardoning criminals, signing book deals and perhaps carting off the silver on their way out. Today, Hillary is presenting herself as a crisp, well-coiffed, new-style Democrat presidential candidate, standing on her own record in the Senate, projecting her...

The vaulting ambition of America's Lady Macbeth Gerard Baker Hillary Clinton’s shameless political reconstructive surgery You can measure the scale of an American president’s troubles by the number of skutniks he deploys during his State of the Union address. Every year during his big set-piece speech to Congress, the president will digress from the main thrust of his remarks to offer fulsome praise to some member of the audience in the gallery. This person will have been carefully selected in advance by the president’s speechwriters as an exemplar of some virtue and placed there for the purpose. The television producers...

Chris Matthews Calls Hillary Clinton ‘Dukakis in a Dress’ Posted by Noel Sheppard on January 21, 2007 - 21:53. With the love-fest that is currently going on over Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois), it is certainly no surprise when a group of mainstream media members gets together to discuss Hillary Clinton’s shortcomings. Yet, it is quite odd to hear someone like Chris Matthews state that the current frontrunner for the 2008 Democrat presidential nomination – and a former first lady – is a female incarnation of one of the biggest left-wing failures in decades (video available here courtesy of our friend...

Skip to comments.I have tried for years to find a nurse or doctor who would go on record about this. If any of you in the DC area can find such person who is willing to risk Hillary's wrath and go on record, the damage to her might be immense. ============================================== THE REAL HILLARY CLINTON: Episode #2 - Children in the Hospitalvarious sources | 12-22-02 | dfu Posted on 12/22/2002 7:49:44 AM PST by doug from upland NOTE: the survival of our Republic is threatened by two things -- fundamentalist Islamic terrorists and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Just announced by MSNBC

The Bush administration refuses to talk to Iran and Syria because they "won't talk to bad people," Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, just back from a trip to Iraq, told Fox's Greta Van Susteren. The U.S. should talk to them, she advised, "because we need to know more about them." Recalling that Newt Gingrich had told her that the president's plan has only a 1 in 5 chance of succeeding, Clinton said that this is "not a particularly promising estimate." Speaking of the president's plan for a troop surge of 21,500, she said: "I opposed it based on what I knew...

Were all the pundits wrong about Hillary's strength? by Chris Reed at January 17, 2007 10:50 AM For years, the assumption has been nearly universal that Hillary Clinton would have an easy path to the 2008 Dem nomination. She had the money, the establishment support and the great goodwill among Democrats for the first Clinton administration going for her. Well, maybe everyone was wrong. Reason Online's David Weigel makes the case:   Anyone But Hillary   David Weigel | January 17, 2007, 1:20pm Rasmussen Reports has been polling the Democratic field, and today they measure the strength of Hillary...

Hillary Clinton regards fellow Senator Barack Obama as her biggest obstacle to the Democratic nomination for president in 2008, and is already mapping out strategy to derail an Obama campaign. Clinton believes enthusiasm for an Obama run would diminish as voters get the message about his lack of experience in government and foreign affairs. In meetings with fellow Democrats, Clinton and her aides – without mentioning Obama by name – stress that experience will be a major factor in determining a successful candidate during difficult times, "an argument that her team will no doubt make in a stronger way against...

The possibility that a potential Democratic presidential primary matchup between Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama could lead to a Clinton-Obama ticket is raising concerns in GOP circles that it might be unbeatable. While Democratic strategists are more skeptical of the success of a ticket composed of two minorities, some Republican advisers to the White House and leading 2008 hopefuls Sen. John McCain and Rudy Giuliani see the ticket as an easy winner built on the enthusiasm it would generate in Democratic circles.Their theory is that Clinton would stand a good chance to pick up the states that Sen....

Our long national nightmare is nearly over. With Barack saying he might run, with Hillary reported to "be making phone calls to New Yorkers," with Evan Bayh and Sam Brownback getting less coy by the day and with Tom Vilsack actually announcing his candidacy (the correct pronunciation of his name "that's vill-sack, not vile sack"), the 2008 presidential campaign is about to start. -snip- After two grueling years legislating in the Senate, this man, whose seasoned judgment the world will be relying on for its very survival, assesses that this is the optimum moment for him to lead the world....

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that it was great her fellow Democrat, Sen. Barack Obama, is thinking about running for president. Polls show Clinton is the front-runner among potential 2008 Democratic presidential contenders and she said Friday during a debate that she has also been thinking about running. "I think it's great that anybody thinks about whatever they want to do in the future," she said when asked about Obama during a campaign stop at a senior citizens' center just north of Albany. "I'm focused on my campaign. I'm focused on reaching as many voters as possible, talking about...

ROCHESTER, Oct. 20 — Facing a barrage of questions about her national ambitions during the first Senate debate on Friday night, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton firmly maintained that she was focused on her work in Congress and had made no decisions about running for president. But her Republican opponent seized on her aspirations at every opening, accusing her of already abdicating her responsibilities to New York. In a lively but cordial hour of exchanges, Mrs. Clinton steered toward substantive answers about foreign and domestic policy, and was sharply critical of the Bush administration’s handling of the war in Iraq. One...
