Sorry if this has already been posted but I didn't find it.

Didn't see meet MTP Sunday and saw this "story" posted elsewhere, but why would it be in Yahoo Financial News?. At the bottom it says "Paid for by the Republican National Committee", so I wonder if it came from a banner ad? Couldn't find it listed in Yahoo's Financial News columns of stories, anywhere.

Anyway.

In a nutshell RNC Chair Gillispie says: Your guys are being nastier to a sitting president than we EVER are, or EVER were. LOL

1. does Gillespie really want to open this can of worms?

Because I believe Bill Clinton could turn it into a can of whoop-ass.

All they need to do is mock up a little advertisement showing Republicans accusing the Clintons of condoms on the Christmas tree, sex with their animals, molestation of Chelsea, a menage a trois with Janet Reno, etc.

Substantiate this, Gillespie.

4. That's why I wondered about its appearance in Yahoo Financial.

and nowhere else?

Maybe it's for a selected "market".

2. If this is all they've got to defend themselves ...

... they are in deep shit.

3. Bush isn't a sitting President.

He's a squatting pResident.

5. Gillespie is trying to make the Democrats "Play Nice"

just like they did in 2000.

What if Gore had called * the buffoon he is, instead of just rolling his eyes?

6. Haven't they learned...

...exactly what happens when a conservatine idiot tells the other side to "bring it on"? :spank:
