Taped by the NSA, leaked by "low-level employees" to the media:

Bill Richardson: Hey, Hill? After much thought and deliberation, I've decided to endorse you.

Hillary Clinton: Too late.

BR: Huh?

HC: Yeah, the time when your endorsement could have been effective has long since passed.

BR: But, I'm a super delegate, and ultimately, we'll be forced to decide this thing!

HC: Not important. Frankly, Bill, I just don't think yours would be a significant endorsement in this environment.

BR: So you're telling me that my endorsement means nothing?

HC: That's exactly what I'm telling you. It doesn't matter. A few weeks ago? Maybe, but today? I don't want it. It's useless.

BR: Frankly, Hillary, I'm finding this a bit disconcerting.

HC: So? What are you going to do about it?

BR: Endorse Obama.

HC: Judas.

[SunsetDreams]

4. I have to admit

That is hillarious!! Thank you for the laugh!

[Scurrilous]

5. That's funny.

:thumbsup:

[WCGreen]

6. That's probablky close to what happened...

Perhaps not in those blunt terms...

The endorsement means a lot to Obama at this point...

It really wouldn't mean all that much to HRC...

[Noirceuil]

7. Poor Markos...

Still out on the far-left fringes and trafficking in Clinton-hate. You would think he would have learned something after campaigning for Ned Lamont, only to have both of their faces covered in egg by a double-digit defeat.

[Blue-Jay]

8. Tell us more about this "far-left".

[Noirceuil]

12. Far Left: - /noun/ :

1) the people who told us there were no differences between Gore and Bush so let's all vote for Nader, ensuring 8 years of Republican rule.

2) the people who denigrate a highly-qualified, intelligent woman while propping up a community organizer from the South Side as a messiah who will change the face of politics simply by speaking

[Blue-Jay]

15. Baaahahahahaha!

"2) the people who denigrate a highly-qualified, intelligent woman while propping up a community organizer from the South Side as a messiah who will change the face of politics simply by speaking"

:rofl:

PS - Fuck Da Cubs. Go Sox!

[DerekJ]

27. "Those God Damn Liberals" .. I see

:rofl:

[Jed Dilligan]

42. Disgusting

Denigrating someone for coming from a poor and heavily black area?

:puke:

[dionysus]

45. so you're a DLC tool?

[Catherina]

35. Unfair! There really is a "VAST Left Wing Conspiracy"

:rofl:

Thank you Howard Dean.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

9. Who was that guy who defeated Lamont again?

Oh yeah. The same idiot who is following McCain around like a puppy now.

Are you sure you're on the right website?

[nonconformist]

22. "Who was that guy who defeated Lamont again? "

Why, that would be Obama's mentor, Lieberman!

The guy that when he was facing Lamont in the primary, Obama endorsed and said "I am absolutely certain Connecticut is going to have the good sense to send Joe Lieberman back to the U.S. Senate so he can continue to serve on our behalf."

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

25. Who did Obama campaign for in that election after Lieberman was defeated?

[nonconformist]

29. In the primary, when he had a choice of two Democrats, he chose Lieberman

After Lamont locked up the Democratic nomination, and the field was reduced to ONE, he supported him.

[Alexander]

39. And did Hillary and Bill Clinton support the Democratic nominee in Connecticut?

Answer: No. They said it was "win-win" and refused to campaign for him.

Obama did. He wins the Lamont-Lieberman issue among real Democrats and progressives.

Nice try.

[PM7nj]

28. 2 points...

1) Obama didn't pick Lieberman, he was assigned to Lieberman.

2) Obama did endorse Lieberman in the primary, but he endorsed and campaigned for Lamont after Lieberman threw a fit and ran as an independent.

[tabasco]

10. So ...... you a big Liebermann fan then?

And yes, tell us more about this "far-left fringe." It sounds so terrible!

[Noirceuil]

14. I don't think...

anyone should be run out of the party for expressing a different point of view and yes, that applies to Liebermann and everyone else

[kevinmc]

19. Lieberman Lost the Dem Primary and quit being a Dem.

He was not run out .... you, like most Freepers they don't deal in facts.

[tabasco]

23. Liebermann quit the Democratic party when he lost the primary.

Remember?

[roguevalley]

11. I'm far left. And, I am using my 16,005th post to say so.

[guruoo]

18. ROTFL!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[neverforget]

31. At least Ned Lamont was the DEMOCRAT in the race.

[democrat_nanny]

37. Poor Markos is right...

I was hoping all his sucking up to Bill Maher would at least get him an invite to the Playboy Mansion so he'd have something other than Obama to jerk off to.

[krkaufman]

41. The egg is on the faces of those who supported Joementum.

43. Actually he's sorta centrist

Or at the least moderate.

[nonconformist]

13. Markos REALLY nails it here....

Obama Gaffe on War Funding?

April 01, 2007 11:06 PM

ABC News' Jonathan Greenberger Reports: In what may be a blow to his support among the anti-war left, the Associated Press is reporting that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., says that if President Bush vetoes the war funding bill because of its timetable for troop withdrawal from Iraq, the Congress will then swiftly provide the president with another version that lacks such a provision. According to the AP, Obama explained this by saying that no lawmaker “wants to play chicken with our troops.”

President Bush has previously vowed to veto any Iraq supplemental bill that contains a withdrawal timeline.

Obama’s comments to the AP place him alone among the major Democratic candidates for president. So far, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and others have focused on simply calling on Bush not to veto the supplemental, and unlike Obama, have not stated that the Congress would respond to a veto by sending the president a "clean?" funding bill.

Already, Obama is taking heat for his remarks from some of the anti-war left, which is a key constituency for his campaign. Influential liberal blogger Markos Moulitsas wrote on Daily Kos that he wishes Obama's comments were an April Fool's Joke. "What a ridiculous thing to say. Not only is it bad policy, not only is it bad politics, it's also a terrible negotiating approach," wrote Moulitsas. "Obama just surrendered to Bush."

Obama's campaign did not return a request for comment.

16. Wow.... going back 11 months in order to hijack a thread.... that's good work....

Hillary should DEFINITELY be paying you more.


Oops.... she's out of money.

[nonconformist]

17. Thanks.

Yeah, I've been here for years, just biding my time, because I'm just a TROLL.

Only in the world of Obamania does something that happened less than a year ago not matter.

[Tatiana]

36. Proving that Markos is a fair-minded independent thinker who marches lockstep with no one? n/t

[Cha]

20. Gov Richardson said it was tense..

but this little scenario exemplifies the bizarre exchange afterwards from carville.

[AmericanUnity]

21. LOL! (Too much talk of snipers lately though....careful :-)

[DesEtoiles]

24. kick

[DesEtoiles]

[krkaufman]

40. It's definitely a playful way of highlighting the irony of the Clinton camp ...

... calling Richardson's endorsement irrelevant one moment and calling him Judas the next.
