Hillary supporter on Abrams just said Hillary was already VP for 8 Years. What a slam to Al Gore!

[mod mom]

Hillary supporter stressed that maybe Hillary doesn't want the VP position. Dan said "oh come on" This woman (sorry just walked in and didn't catch her name) said she didn't have any insider info but remember Hillary was already VP for 8 years. Anyone else catch this?

:mad:

1. I've heard it several times- it's a tired joke.

2. Deal with the truth that Hillary had as much power/influence as Gore - or does it hurt to admit

that the Obama campaign was full of smears and lies about Hillary?

[mod mom]

5. Maybe with the corporate titans that she worked with @ Rose Law Firm. She didn't

have security clearance so how did she have the the power of Al Gore :eyes:

[mod mom]

10. and because I speak w facts, here is the link saying no security clearance:

But during those two terms in the White House, Mrs. Clinton did not hold a security clearance. She did not attend National Security Council meetings. She was not given a copy of the president’s daily intelligence briefing. She did not assert herself on the crises in Somalia, Haiti and Rwanda.

and here is more:

And during one of President Bill Clinton’s major tests on terrorism, whether to bomb Afghanistan and Sudan in 1998, Mrs. Clinton was barely speaking to her husband, let alone advising him, as the Lewinsky scandal sizzled.

In seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, Mrs. Clinton lays claim to two traits nearly every day: strength and experience. But as the junior senator from New York, she has few significant legislative accomplishments to her name. She has cast herself, instead, as a first lady like no other: a full partner to her husband in his administration, and, she says, all the stronger and more experienced for her “eight years with a front-row seat on history.”

3. is it just me, or did Dan show last week's gallup poll numbers at the beginning of the show?

I turned it off after that and said "Why do I still watch this shit? It's the same story every night. I mean, I don't mind it being examined every day or two, but it's pretty pathetic that this has been pretty much Dan's only story for the last month, every day."


Was the woman who said that (former now, I guess) Clinton advisor maria cardona?

6. I had to walk out of the room. He keeps pushing the 18 million and acts as if the GOP Crossover

should count even thought they would have never supported her in the fall.

4. I heard and thought the same thing...

7. No need to get upset. I believe she was joking. nt

[SemiCharmedQuark]

8. And yet...look above.

9. I flipped to CNN. I'm really tired of Dan's singular focus on Hillary. We've had days and days of

this already. It seems a bit stale.

edit to add - He is still treating this like it is Obama v. Clinton - come on, Dan, on to the GE already.

12. Al Gore said the same thing in the NYT while he was VP. The link is in my journals.

[TexasObserver]

13. I quit watching Abrams a month or two ago. Always pushing the Hillary shit!

I get it, Dan!! You're her bestest buddy!!

Even when he wasn't talking about Hillary, he was bearly watchable. He's clearly a guy who grew up as a geeky nerd, and now, even though he makes an improved appearance, he's still the slobbering goober he always was.
