2. Hillary, why did you vote "yes" to authorize the Chimp to go to war?
And, Hillary, why did you later say you were not sorry for that vote?

12. Sometimes it's fun to be around people who hate you
Knowing that they despise you, yet they have to be nice because it is a public event. Watching them pretending to like you, and knowing deep down they are wanting to scream at you. Then you go out of your way to be nice to them-yeah, it's kind of a mind game, but a fun one.

4. Rupert Murdoch is a F.O.B.
http://newyorkmetro.com/news/intelligencer/16535/


The incongruous Murdoch-Clinton romance, which has been hot for the past year or so, shows no sign of cooling down. Now, a source says, Rupert is greatly expanding his involvement with Bill’s big Clinton Global Initiative’s annual powwow this September, shortly before Hillary’s up for reelection. But then Murdoch’s Post has been as kind to her as it was relentless toward the ex-president. Murdoch’s involvement will be announced March 31 at the Time Warner Center (home to Fox News enemy CNN!), along with that of French president Jacques Chirac (a member of the Axis of Weasel, according to the Post), Virgin billionaire Richard Branson, and Gordon Brown, the heir apparent to Tony Blair in the U.K. All of which has some Clintonites boasting that CGI has become hotter than Davos as a desirable destination for global-power do-gooders. “People have been beating down the door to attend this conference!” swears an invitee. “It seems to have more energy than any other one in the world.” Clinton spokesman Jay Carson sought to tamp down any rivalry. “We see ourselves working in concert with the many successful global forums.”

9. Like battles, she should choose her parties wisely...
Edited on Thu Apr-27-06 12:50 PM by file83
from what I read, there weren't many other (if any) Democratic Senators at that party. Kind of weird.

7. You HAVE to go to stuff like that. You don't stay long, however.
That's how politics works.

You put on your party smile and go.

10. If she thinks
this will keep the "foxies" from smearing her, or, using her as a rallying cry for their semi-insane bae, she's dead wrong.....that's the enemy Hillary....didn't you notice?

16. They spread a rumor that the party would have some video games...
So she sped to the scene to boldly confront that vital issue.

17. Part of the Beltway cocoon?
Dems in Washington DC have a very distorted perception of reality, thanks to GOP propaganda. They seem to actually think there are a lot of US voters who watch FAUX.

18. Wonkette reports:
http://www.wonkette.com/politics/parties/chatology-special-report-fox-news-sunday-at-10-170047.php

Snips from the show’s greatest hits played on strategically placed TV screens in the background as a squadron of roving photogs did their best to give the impression that really famous people were there. Not that some shots won’t make some news. Our favorites: Bill O’Reilly posing with Hillary with his arm around her falafel (waist, shoulder whatever — where was PHILLIPPE!?!), former DNC chair Terry McAuliffe glad-handing with Snow (though who wouldn’t?), Josh Bolten giving Dan Bartlett a reassuring pat on the shoulder (“it’s not you, it’s me”?).

<snip>

. . and the WH carpool: Cheney, Bartlett, Bolten, Nicolle Wallace and Karl Rove, fresh from grand jury testimony but grinning and pandering like it was primary season (“Of course I know Wonkette!” Oh, Karl. Tell us the one about McCain’s black baby again!).

A few brave Democrats walked brazenly through the crowd, fortified by generous pours and the self-delusion that the party represented some final bacchanal prior to a decent into madness. Gore chum and Dem consultant Mike Feldman, the DNC’s Karen Finney and a proud Sen. Ben Nelson (my governor!) gritted their teeth around puff pastries and somehow made it through.


EWWWWW!

20. Honest question...
I am not too involved in the Democratic Party politics (I know, I know), but is she a lock for the nomination in 2008?

The reason I ask is, how do her positions play in Iowa/NH? Can this back fire on her?

26. I'll make a guess why....
She knows they are sharpening the knives for her when she runs in 2008. Figures she may charm them on a one-to-one level and head off the worst of it.

29. Kinda the same thing...
But if it works, and they aren't as evil to her as she can rightly expect, it was smart.

She did the same with the repukes in the Senate, who despised her and were ready make her life there a living hell. Charmed the pants offa them. I can't say I disagree with the basic strategy. It's how she uses that populartiy that is the problem. For power or to do good?

38. Legitimizing propaganda
I dunno about you but a BIRTHDAY is usually a CELEBRATION of existence. I think FOX NEWS should cease to exist. It's pretty simple. Either you are for propaganda or you aren't. Of course, Hil has no problem with lies. She's getting ready to be President.
