    I apologize to all Hillary supporters for starting this thread. The Clinton campaign has clarified this whole situation. We have learned that this is not indeed a "whopper", but rather a benign case of "misspeech". It is now perfectly clear that Clinton is not capable of telling an untruth, only misspeaking. Poor Senator Clinton was just showing signs of fatigue on the campaign trail. :(

    LOL at the poster who implied that somehow Fox was favoring Hillary to Obama even after their pundits have trashed Hillary for years.

    I guess it was when that Foxnews analyst said Hillary sends a chill of joy up his leg.

    Oh wait. That was On MSNBC, the fair and balanced (read as liberal is the only right way) network. Oh, and it was about Obama.



    By the way, someone link me to the article about McCain's spiritual adviser please so I can further entrench my theory that McCain is a snake.

    In typical Clinton fashion. What does "is" mean? A lie is a "misspeech." The idea of 4-8 more years of this makes me sick. We can do better than this. No one is perfect, but we can do better than this.

    I don't think the Clinton's realize they are lying all the time when they lie. They are pathological liars. I think if you asked Hillary her shoe size she might lie just because it popped into her head. That's the only way I can explain why people lie about things that can be proven without any effort. It's one thing to lie about your sex life, but when people lie about things that are readily available, I have to think they have a disorder.

    I have a family member who is notorious for this. She can be telling a simple story and she'll lie about facts in it that make the story more appealing AND facts that are inconsequential. She might lie about the car she was driving when we all know what car it was. That is how the Clintons are to me. They just lie. They can't help it anymore because they've been lying for so long it's just part of their natural speech patter.

    But it appears that she has exaggerated her role in foreign policy matters as well. What foreign policy did she create or mediate over?

    Obama has gone to Africa and is well traveled as well. Shouldn't that count as foreign policy experience as well?

    Nice little dodge today by Hillary. Want to make an issue go away or change the subject? Bring up Wright.

    Sinbad weighs in!

    Link

    Eat Here? Or at the Next Place?
    By - March 25, 2008, 3:52PM

    I've had people come up to me and say, "Hey, I really wish I could vote for you and Senator Clinton both." Well maybe they can. It would be a dream ticket. An unstoppable force.

    I could win urban voters, voters with large earrings, voters who wear parachute pants, and Senator Clinton could win rural voters. I know that I'm ready to lead this country. For too long we've had presidents unable to avoid sniper fire.

    Not this time.

    Earlier in this campaign I railed against TPM for not digging into the Bosnia story a little. I begged them to put it on their front page. Well, what are you going to do? TPM could have made the big time with this story. CBS, NBC, NYTimes, everybody was running with the sniper story yesterday. Look, sometimes you try to be nice to people, you give them everything, and what do they do? They turn around and stab you in the back. Judas.

    I know that in the past I've been critical of Senator Clinton. Well, I misspoke. I was sleep-deprived. I had just finished a marathon stand-up session at the Laughapalooza Festival in Topeka. Things come out wrong. I'm sorry. She's a good lady. She sort of doesn't "get" black people, but that's okay. We'll make a good team. Politics is all about "Necessary Roughness." We'll do well in the general, I know it.

    Democrats, the choice is yours. 2008 is slipping away. We need to finally come together and put this brutal primary election behind us. It could be our year. Dream Ticket. Ready on Day One. Solutions. Sniper Fire. Eating Here or at the Next Place. Houseguest.

    Senator Clinton, I admire you. You're a courageous, honorable, sort of weird lady. And today I'm proud to formally announce that I, Sinbad, hereby publicly offer you the opportunity to be my running mate. Let's make history, Senator. Take my hand and join me. Together we will change this nation, together we will - OH GOD, HEAD DOWN, HEAD DOWN, JESUS CHRIST THE SNIPERS ARE EVERYWH----

    Sinbad/Clinton '08 - One is a comedian, the other is Sinbad

    Nice little dodge? Has Hillary lost her mind? I admit to not liking her before the campaign started, but her digging up Wright to push her bold lie to the back-burner blows my mind! This is despicable even by her standards.

    Will a Hillary supporter explain this one away for me? Please? First the lie, then this very obvious and unconscionable deflection. Someone tell me how a person cannot think the absolute worst about her. Hillary's negative campaign has been 95% toxic sewage for several weeks. Her whole strategy of trying to drag Obama down has done more to diminish her than the "vast right-wing conspiracy" ever did. If Dem party leaders don't show some courage and slam her over this then they are a bunch weakfish. Under these exact same circumstances, if any candidate other than Hillary had resorted to dumping this amount of radioactive waste late into the Dem primary, there would be an explosion of outrage. Just imagine if Jon Edwards or Joe Biden were doing this to Hillary or Obama (or one to the other) so late in the campaign with a 5% (per David Brooks) chance of winning. I think fear of retribution is the reason.

    Seriously, somebody reply to me. I know most Dems here like Obama and I don't want your opinion. I want someone who likes Hillary to explain how this isn't way over-the-top selfishness. From my independent standpoint, Hillary has machine-gunned herself into swiss cheese with these latest statements. How can one be any less "presidential" than this? Someone needs to play her a tape of Bill blasting the "politics of personal destruction", which I guess is wrong for everyone else but not her.

    I don't. Nothing ages worse than SNL humor. Well, maybe the police academy movies, but that's it.
