Regarding Hillary and the 12-year old rape victim, how about Hillary and the rat?

Hillary and the Rat

by Joyce Marcel

Clinton’s past has been thoroughly vetted - there’s hardly an inch of her that hasn’t been under the microscope. But a few weeks ago the The New York Times, Adam Liptak wrote a piece called, “Attorneys at Politics: Would You Hire One to Represent You?” In it, he told a remarkable story that, I believe, illustrates the dangers of Hillary Clinton more than anything I’ve ever read.

“The first jury trial Mrs. Clinton handled on her own, for instance, concerned the rear end of a rat in a can of pork and beans,” Liptak wrote - and if here you’re thinking, “Go get ‘em, Hillary! Evil corporations are trying to poison us!” you are sadly misled. She represented the corporation, and “she argued that there had been no real harm, as the plaintiff did not actually eat the rat. ‘Besides,’ she wrote in her autobiography, describing her client’s position, ‘the rodent parts which had been sterilized might be considered edible in certain parts of the world.’”

So there’s your warm, caring, nurturing female political leader for you. Hungry? Eat a rat!

As the professor sings, “Can’t a woman learn to use her head?/ Why do they do everything their mothers do?/Why don’t they grow up, well, like their father instead?”

Sadly, Professor Higgins, it seems that they do.

1. I'm sorry, what is all this about a 12 year old rape victim?

That piece of news must have passed me by.

2. There are other threads about the Newsday story posted in GDP

Check them out!

3. Geez - give me John Edwards as my attorney n/t

[TwilightGardener]

4. This is what lawyers do. I found Hillary's defense of the rapist a little

over-the-top, and it may have damaged the young girl, but I suppose one could argue that her client deserved the most vigorous defense possible. Lawyers try to win, often at all costs--Edwards is the same way, so let's not be too hypocritical.

14. Edwards is an ethical advocate, he never lowered himself like Hillary did.

Very troubling to see the tactics that Hillary used.

5. Screw Hillary and the rat. How about Jimmy Carter and the rabbit?

Hopefully, it'll get bored and move on.

8. That just reinforces the fact that when it comes to Hillary

I dont give a rats ass.
:rofl:

[TexasObserver]

9. Finally. Something Hillary really does give a rat's ass about!

And I thought she was just a triangulating, ambitious, spawn of Satan.

[FrenchieCat]

10. Now, that's nasty Hillary!

Why should consumers eat rats, sterilized or not?

Yuk! :puke:

[BuyingThyme]

11. I taste a new campaign slogan coming on.

[ORDem]

12. I didn't inhale that rat. n/t

[Swamp Rat]
