Murdoch and Hillary

[undeterred]

This is what bothers me most about her. She won't change him; he will change her.

...The fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton took place on July 17th, at News Corp.’s midtown tower, which houses the Post and Fox News. Among the News Corp. executives who attended were Roger Ailes, the veteran Republican operative who runs Fox News, and Col Allan, the pugnacious, Australian-born editor of the Post. Clinton spoke for about twenty minutes, and then took questions. The breakfast raised more than sixty thousand dollars for Clinton’s senatorial re-election campaign—neither Ailes nor Allan contributed any money—and it led to speculation that Murdoch was preparing to endorse Hillary in the 2008 Presidential campaign...

1. didn't Murdoch support Tony Blair?

he didn't support Kerry did he?

[undeterred]

2. And whose poodle was Tony Blair?

And whose war did he support?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. I hope Hillary Clinton is not going to go down that road?

or maybe she has no choice?

[undeterred]

11. there is always a choice

but I don't think she gets accused of being too principled very often

[kenfrequed]

3. Sigh

I am loath to accept a candidate with whom Murdoch is so comfortable.

4. Proof positive of how Clinton's alleged "pragmatism"...

... can easily morph into undisguisable and unmitigated *evil*.

Question: was this before or after she attended the 10th anniversary "celebration" of Fox News?

Ugh.

10. Summer 2006 was her re-election to Senate

but Murdoch has picked her as the next President. He is a very powerful man.

5. She's banking on being able to attract disgruntled Faux New channel

viewers in the general election, and hoping Dems won't notice. Cuddling up to Murdoch and socializing with * via Bill is more than enough for me.

7. isn't that like sleeping with the enemy

and you know these are same people that take incredibly unfair pot shots at Bill any time they feel like being mean and hurtful. Snakes.

[undeterred]

8. the "vast right wing conspiracy"

I guess its easier to forgive people when they give you lots of money. Or something like that.

[MH1]

9. That's what I don't get

unless of course what they allow us to see is all one big game anyway.
