Bill Clinton, Unplugged: Calls Shuster’s Comments ‘Careless, Crass, Cruel’

“Look, free speech runs two ways …”
— Bill Clinton
Yes, I remember that from law school. Check your first amendment: “Congress shall pass no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, excepting when a television commentator offends the political campaign of an ex-president’s wife.”

am a independent.I usual vote for republican. This time, I will vote for cliton.I saw several debat. I think Obama is very enthusiastic but lack of a detail good plan. his key word is ‘change’ .I think America is the richest country and Americans are really lucky living in this comfortable country to compare any other country. I am really worry about Obama will change this country to what kind of society. these young people and most of Americans they never abroad . They don’t know what kind of living condition in other most of country.
be realism.
We don’t want to change. we want to improve our life for better.

The depth of the Clintonesque crapola continues to amaze and dumbfound. How does he manage to fit that elephant-sized head in his pants? Some trick, I’d say.

“Careless, crass, and cruel… Yup that just about sums up his treatment of Juanita Broaddrick. He should be in jail, for what he’s done. Defender of women? More like predator.

To all of you idiots out there, there is a difference between a man (married or otherwise) having consensual sex with a woman and what the former president is saying about his daughter being “pimped”. I think you all have been so pimped by the Republican establishment and the media that your decency compass has been skewed, which is obvious by your Clinton hating posts!! Get over it Haters!! Bill is right!!

How many of you will be sad come Novemeber when you realize you have been duped by the media to pick Obama. Obama has never been tested and all of you hoping for a change are stupid. It’s sad b/c when Mc Cain creams him, you all will be lefted thinking, “Bill Clinton was right when he said picking him is like rolling the dice”.
SO much is at stake and you all act the Clintons did not bring up 8 years of prosperity. Sure, it had it’s scandals, but I rather have a President who got caught cheating than one receiving on the job training and getting us stuck in Iraq.
You all should be ashamed of yourself. ONce the Republicans go to work on this guy, they will be nothing left and you Obama supporters will be to blame and DON’T YOU DARE SAY, THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN THIS TIME b/c all of you are pathetic.
I cry sometimes how much you think this election is a game. Even if John Edwards were the nominee, I would support him over Hillary not getting, but Barack Obama, a man who has never been tested and a man who 90% of Blacks are voting for him just b/c of his color and not knowing what the hell he stands for is reprehensible.

President Clinton is calling the kettle black I think. Or prehaps takes one to know one is the better cliche’.

Mr. John
Cut them some slack. They got used to Bill Clinton, the great communicator. Then came a new President, 9/11 and suddenly the world changed. The President had other priorities when he dealt with the daily war on terror and didn’t have time to get to know the people the way Bill Clinton did. No wonder some got disappointed.
After all this, they need the Obama rush. They need the emotional validation. They need the show. They need that sense of change and hope. Don’t we all need that? That’s why I go to U2 and Springsteen concerts. They prefer Obama shows. It’s about taste, not about stupidity or ignorance.
Sure, one day they’ll get it, but they’ll also have some great memories. That’s life. No big deal.

If anyone is crass Bill, it would be your wife.

How many times are the Clintons are going to bring up race?! What the ___ does Obama’s race have to do with a “sexist” comment about Chelsea? The real analogy to be drawn is ‘what if someone said that Obama’s daughters, which he also has, or his wife.’
First, Clinton has no other person to reference but Jesse Jackson after S. Carolina. Now, this too becomes an opportunity to inject race. Sheesh. I am sorry that the first thing that comes to the Clintons’ collective mind when they think of Obama is the color of his skin. I voted for him for his intellect and character (something Bill Clinton lacks not incidentally).

*correction, about Obama’s daughters.
Also, I am tired of the excuses for Clinton’s losses and her lack of graciousness.
Let’s see -caucuses don’t matter (except Nevada), places where the black vote is high don’t matter, red states don’t matter (except TX, for example), purple states don’t matter (except VA, before she lost it), places with incomes over 50K don’t matter, places where whites and women betray the Clinton machine don’t matter. When did only a handful of states out of the 50 UNITED States become the only important ones? Why do we hear this even after she loses the pledged delegate lead and the popular vote?
I want a president who does not make excuses. Similarly, on the war in Iraq, I would have loved for Hillary to can all the excuses and say: ‘I made a bad decision. I am sorry, and I cannot take it back, but I am not too stubborn to change my mind and to do what it is necessary to reverse this horrible trajectory. I take this very seriously, and know that lives have been lost. I take this to bed with me, every night. Right now, what is important is that Sen. Obama and I are on the same page with respect to carefully withdrawing our troops -and I am prepared to move forward with that on Day 1.’
I could have voted for her if she said something like that. I know, I know, maybe she thinks admitting two big wrongs (healthcare in the 90s and then this) would be too much… but if you admit where you were wrong you can stop the bleeding. She never stopped the bleeding from that Iraq vote because she kept justifying it with increasingly nonsensical justifications. Okay, off my soapbox.

I am a HC supporter. But, when it comes to being darling of the press I have to say that what goes around comes around. Was candidate Clinton not the 1991 darling of the press? It’s too bad that HC has to bear the brunt of that boomerang.

I agree that Bill Clinton should not sit in judgment against anyone who utters a sexist remark. But Hillary is the one who chose to defend her daughter — and rightly so! Forget Bill. Hillary hasn’t done anything wrong and she loves her daughter just as any mother does. It was a terrible thing for this reporter (????) to say about ANYONE’S daughter!

Imagine the uproar if some pundit had said Obama was pimping out his wife! The unaddressed rampant sexism in this primary season is sometimes subtle but also extreme. Did anyone notice how Obama jumped up to pull out Hillary’s chair after their last debate (as if she needed that help)? And then, interestingly, he needed help getting unplugged from his microphone.

Every man should have a daughter. When my daughter was born it changed me. I started paying attention to many new things – from: how women were treated in the workplace – to making sure that I placed the toilet seat in the upright position at all times.
If someone makes a derogatory comment or places an inappropriate remark in my daughter’s direction – I do not let it go.
Hillary and Bill Clinton – have every right to look after their daughter.
Regarding MSNBC – the President was correct in his statement. Mr. Mathews is in love with Sen. Obama – he has said as much in his commentary. Keith Olbermann – well we all know that is must have been promised – a great job by the Obama people.
Injecting racism into the campaign – Sen. Obama has already taken care of that. Before the South Carolina primary he made a comment about not knowing if President Clinton could dance like a “ brother “.
Sen. Obama has gotten a free ride in the press, e.g.:
- No comments about his shady (Chicago Tribune) real-estate deal
- Youth work in Chicago – must have paid a lot to afford a million dollar plus house
- The Sen. has birth-rights to 3 different nationalities: US, British, and Kenyan.
At the time of the Senators birth, the Senator’s father was a Kenyan Crown Colony born British subject in possession of the British nationality. At the time the Kenyan constitution came of power in 1963 – Sen. Obama automatically became a citizen of Kenyan –
Has the Sen. renounced these officially? If not – he still has them. I know – my background is similar.
Free ride? Yes – of course

Since entrance/exit polls have only been conducted in two of the ten caucus states thus far (Iowa and Nevada), it isn’t possible for Bill Clinton or anyone else to characterize the income level of caucus attenders versus primary voters. Hillary and Bill are sore losers, continually trying to make themselves out as victims of the system. It’s your system, Clintons — you created it, as well as the primary and caucus calendar. Wouldn’t it be great if the Clinton campaign could learn a lesson from Little Leaguers — congratulate a victorious opponent, and acknowledge that Hillary is losing races fair and square.

I have stopped watching C. Matthews, and K. Olberman (who I had really liked and watched faithfully) because of their prejudicial statements against Hillary and slavish swooning over Obama. Olberman used to be fair-handed but he seems to have given up on that. And Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert have also lost my viewership. Hillary-bashing has become tedious to watch, just as Gore-bashing was in the 2000 election. Hillary in 2008 — you go,girl!

See: It’s Hard out Here for a Pimp (like Shuster): Cable “News” and the Pimping of Myth By Michael Rectenwald 10 Feb 2008.

I wish Bill would just shut up and try and act presidential for a change. GHW Bush stayed above the fray during W’s campaign. Bill, quit devaluing our democratic process by that elected you twice.

THIS WAS A LONG TIME COMING FOR MSNBC, AND CNN IS WALKING THE LINE TOO….
THEY DESERVE THE FALLOUT.
CLEARLY UNFAIR, BAISED AGAINST SENATOR CLINTON, BRUTAL AND PARTIAL.
The press is SUPPOSED to be impartial; look what happens when they are not–you get ‘FoxNews’. Plus, Schuster clearly knew that was not the right thing to say when describing Chelea’s role.
Bill has EVERY RIGHT to defend his daughter… I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AS NICE AS BILL WAS….trust me.

The Democrats are finally showing their true “color”. Not very pretty, is it.

Hillary has been tested. AND SHE FAILED!!! She voted for the war. She believed the Bush Administration, who lied over 800 times about WMD in IRAQ. She continues to vote to fund every war bill that crosses her desk. She is sending billions and billions of dollars to corrupt contractors and out of the hands of the ‘hard working citizens’ she swears to help. Please spare us the bs of hillary.

I’m shocked at how all the FOLLOWERS are supporting Obama. I mean, here’s a guy who doesn’t have a CLUE about defense , economy, or much of anything else and yet he’s somehow, managed to pull the wool over a lot of people’s eyes. Even more shocking, here’s a guy who is against war, but wallows in the river of freedom, hides behind the blanket of bravery and is a danger to the freedom we fought so hard to obtain. I’m a Clinton supporter, but if she isn’t nominated for the Democratic ticket, I’ll vote for John McCain to be the next President of the United States.

I am not surprised at the way the so called “upper class” act, meaning Government Officials! The very ones who are to be there because of their knowledge and prestiege. What they show the younger generation is how to act and fight and bicker and that, is what it’s all about, the more back stabbing you can do the higher you go???? What happend to the moral and standards of long ago??? Down the drain I’d say. Smarten up you people.

Stop and think! Forget that the comment involved the Clinton family and imagine that it involved your daughter. If your daughter represented you at some function and David Shuster, on public television, said you were “pimping her out”, how would you feel? Mr. Shuster got caught up in Chris Matthews’ blatant dislike of Hillary Clinton and he should be fired. So should Matthews.

HILLARY SUPPORTER SHOULD NOT WATCH MSNBC/NBC. THEY ARE SO CRUEL TO HER.
CHRIS MATTHEWS IS NOT ONLY A HILLARY HATER HE IS A WOMEN HATER AND HAS MADE SEVERAL SEXIST REMARKS IN THE PAST. iF HE HAD MADE THE SAME REMARKS ABOUT RACE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED.
HILLARY IS DOING VERY WELL CONSIDERING THE PRESS IS PUSHING FOR OBAMA.
THIS IS SO UNFAIR. WOMEN IN AMERICA ARE STILL HAVING TO FIGHT FOR THE SAME RIGHTS THAT WERE GIVEN TO BLACKS MANY YEARS AGO. WHY???
COUNT THE FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN VOTES AND
HILLARY WILL BE AHEAD!!!!

I agree with the thrust of Clinton’s comments regarding the lack of civility and coarseness on MSNBC. I wish his comments were taken more objectively. It’s long overdue.

If politics is a game, the Dems better realize that Republicans are far more ruthless in pursuit of power than they ever will be. Part of the reason the Clintons are so devisive is because Bill beat them at the game and was willing to “take no prisoners”. I think the reason the press is so universally for Obama is because they aspire for the hope he promises. The fall campaign, if it were McCain vs. Clinton, would be hardest on women — who would finally embrace their suffrage in wholehearted rejection. Clinton wins easily. McCain vs. Obama is going to be hard for everybody — the swiftboaters will “color” the campaign in such a way that Obama, even if he were to somehow win, would have an even more fractured electorate to try to pull together. No change will ever come of that. JFK comes again? Martin? Bobby? Look what trying to bring hope to the people did for them. The hopes of an entire generation were so easily blown away. Obama is the “Do Over” candidate for elites, the young people of this nation, and the press who romanticize all that could have been and never was … and will be again.

The fact that the statement about Chelsea Clinton were made by MSNBC came to me as no surprise. My grandson Carl was shot by the Burban police in the back eight time while sitting in a car wearing his seatbelt. They shot him eight times in the back. When I called NBC and reported the carnige and ask if they could put a short report on the local news to warn the public I was told the story “HAD NO INTERTAINMENT VALUE!!!!” This should give anybody a warning about the moral and ethical standards practiced by NBC, and MSNBC.

But now I hear that Hillary has agreed to drop her threat to boycott debating on MSNBC.
I guess the free media exposure, given the shoe-string nature of her campaign despite the fact she raised and spent over $140 million, is worth more than her ‘principled’ stand for her daughter.
I guess being a mother first is only useful for a few days worth of media exposure and then it’s back to being a manipulative politician first…..

When young black women where insulted, Don Imus got fired. Why is David Shuster only suspended? Insulting a white woman is not as bad?
DAVID SHUSTER SHOULD BE FIRED!

Every time Bill Clinton speaks my “lie-dar” runs off the charts. The hypocrisies of his support for “women” and his unrelenting pursuit to provoke racism are merely self gratifying attempts to massage indecisive voters matching profiles.
Hillary already addressed this issue; Bill pursues it, pimps it again, in desperate attempt to garnish the support of women voters in Texas.
Women, we don’t need Hillary as a representative for our cause! Just because she’s running for President doesn’t negate the fact she ignored her husband’s infidelities. Quite frankly I’d rather my daughter emulate someone with higher standards.

I can’t stand Bill Clinton, but he is correct for standing up for his daughter. The MSNBC comments were WAY out of line, and had Shuster called Obama’s daughters “ho’s” — a la Don Imus — Shuster (rightfully) would have fired. In this case he got off light with a suspension.
p.s. People, the Swift Boat accusations are true. Kerry went to Vietnam, managed to alienate 90% of his platoon, left early, and disparaged every American vet upon his return with false allegations and out right lies. Get over it.

If the Clinton’s have this much power now, why would we want them in the White house again?

So what if he said she was being pimped out? It happens to be true…
All you hyper-sensative crybabies need to thicken your skin. You are the reason this country is going into the toilet.
If she puts herself out there then she is fair game… QUIT CRYING!!!!!!!!!

Here’s one Obama supporter who thinks Shuster should be fired.

Delo, seriously!
You amaze me.
BTW, two things:
1) Bush is not running for President.
2) Both Bush twins took 100k jobs at a hedge fund in NYC. Chelsea Clinton on the other hand, is teaching in inner-city DC and doing outreach work abroad. THAT’s where they are. Wait, maybe it’s the other way around…

The Clintons are so silly

The reason David Shuster’s comment stung is because it’s true. Senator Clinton is sending Chelsea out to campaign for her, Shuster’s choice of words is suspect but not the meaning.
I like Senator Clinton and if she win’s the nomination I will vote for her because unlike Tom I am a Democrat. However I won’t be happy about it and I think she will lose to John McCain because I think a lot of people like me are sick and tired of the Bushes and the Clintons! There has been one or the other in/near the White House since 1980 when Bush (40) was VP that’s nearly 30 years:-0 time to move on.
To Tom: vote for McCain good riddance to you, your republican!
But in this election we need to replace the Bush’s and the Clinton’s and the Kennedy’s and McCain’s and the rest of the old guard. You have run the course and made America great and strong. You taught the world that democracy can survive through the best of times and the worst of times. But the time has come to rest on the laurels you have earned and let the next generation take over to learn for your triumphs and defeats to take America to its next destination in history.

Yes, the language used with respect to Chelsea Clinton was not the best. However, Chelsea Clinton is not a little girl, she is an adult and she has chosen to get involved in a political campaign. It goes with the territory. Sorry, but it does. The Clintons should have just shrugged it off.

Can someone just get Bill off the stage? Haven’t we seen and heard enough of him for 15 years or more. He hasn’t shut up since he’s been out of office. It’s all about him! This whole race is about HIM. Forget Hillary. I want his ugly mug off camera and out of sight. He’s made MILLIONS giving speeches about what HE thinks and I think it’s about time he leave the stage. Now he’s poormouthing about no money for the campaign. Spend some of the millions you and Hillary have made giving redundant speeches to the blind sheep who still think you are relevant.

Dear Will,
“What makes the U.S. different?” Not people like you. Keep to the issue at hand. – This is not about “race”. Get your head from under you and face reality. We are all part of the same race “THE HUMAN RACE”. My God man this is ’2008. The U.S. is a melting pot. It is time that we as a people accept this. Racial labels are offensive. When we label, we lose out on the really interesting aspects of people. When we stop labeling people will come together and we will have no excuse for WAR, HATRED, or DIVISIVENESS. “Yes we can.”
P.S. “On the job training.” – I have confidence that Sen. Obama will choose an effective Cabinet that with his “vision” will steer the U.S. through its darkest days.

You can whine about all the unfair things that have happened, are happening or will happen; but, not a one of them will change the inevitable outcome of the Democratic primary — Obama is going to be the nominee.
This is like watching an object drop from the sky — the journey is interesting but the final result is immutable — CRUNCH!
The Clintons — Bill, Hill, Chels — are done. Fair? Who cares?
As the Godfather said: “This is the life we have chosen.”
Stop whining!

Clinton’s affair with Lewinsky doesn’t excuse NBC reps calling his daughter names a Hip-Hop star would be slammed for. Too many on this forum are sleepwalkingly voting for Obama on some warped anti-Clinton trip.
How the most powerful nation on the Planet has been reduced to Cable Tv positive_like platitudes about change – no Blue or red states yuk is disturbing. Obama,regardless of what you think of the Clintons isn’t ready for the Whitehouse. some person has chosen to blame the Clintons for some Blue-collared peoples’ opinions about race & voting.
As a Black Brit, who grew up in the USa – I find the constant charge of racism against the Clintons unfair & deeply regressive. There seems a White_guilt trip that says scrutiny of policies of Black people like myself is racist. I say non equal scrutiny of policies is racist.
That Obama’s Iraq stand & press non-scrutiny is fairytale ain’t racist, that LBJ did a lot to advance civil rights ain’t diminishing MLK jnr’s legacy, that Jesse Jackson won S.Carolina is fact.
sexism towards Hillary & the attitude of many to Romney’s mormonism are more pressing issues. I maintain the mass rush of many African Americans to vote for Obama regardless of opponent or policy is a form of reverse racism.The abuse the likes of Magic Johnson & Maya Angelou have gotten form Blacks for supporting Hillary is a disgrace to my race.
Earvin, LA

whhhhaaaaaaaaaa whaaaaaaaaaaaaa whaaaaaaaaaa.. i’m so sick of the Clinton’s whining everytime things don’t go their way. GROW UP!

WRONG. BILL AND HILLARY ARE NOT PIMPING CHELSEA,THEY ARE OUTING HER. NOW SHE IS OUT ON THE TRAIL, AND THEY ARE TURNING HER INTO THE SAME SORRY POLITICAL BEASTS THEY ARE. IMAGINE, A PROMINENT 26 YEAR OLD PRESIDENTS DAUGHTER DECIDES TO TAKE A 21 YEAR OLD SINGLE MALE SUPPORTER OUT TO EAT, JUST FOR POLITICAL ATTENTION AND GAIN. DIDN’T BILL DO A SIMILAR THING TO A YOUNG INTERN? THAT GUY GOT USED.

Chelsea is 27 years old; let her defend herself, take responsibility for her own actions, unlike her buffoon of a father.

Obama voter here saying yes, Shuster should be fired like Imus. That’s a separate issue from me not wanting to vote for Hillary or any other Clinton ever again. Voted Bill twice but their shenanigans this election are inexcusable, hyper entitled and we do not live in monarchy. Chelsea shouldn’t be subjected to vulgarities though, regardless of having high-profile parents.

Ahhh, I just LOVE it when Bill talks. The Obama campaign ought to buy the guy a tour bus and a megaphone, because the more he talks, the more it helps Obama’s campaign. Keep talking, Prez!

Bill says the election is being taken away from “the people.” What about the back-door deals the Clinton campaign will make with superdelegates to take the nomination away from Obama? Isn’t that taking an election away from “the people” as well? Typical Clinton hypocrisy.

If one thinks about it, how can the press (or anyone else) weigh in in favor of Obama for President over Hillary Clinton? Obama lacks the international and domestic experience in government aptly to lead the country. He is essentially “untried.” McCain can bury him. The press should have pressed O’s inexperience. Now it appears it may be too late, – he’ll get the nomination and lose the election, whereas Hillary could and should beat MCain **based on her record.** The **record** is what the press should be emphasizing, not general rhetoric for “change.” Change to what? How? Tell us Obama, I’m waiting. We know what Hillary or McCain would do if elected. We do not know what you, Obama, can do or accomplish. Better yet, what have you done so far as a senator??? You haven’t been telling or emphasizing that. Why not? Hillary tells us what she’s done. We know what McCain’s done and will do. The press needs to take the **mystery** out of the Obama campaign, but apparently the press is making money not doing that, – promoting the improbable fairy tale. By doing so, they are pulling a “Nader,” – favoring someone who can’t get elected President. You don’t send a triple-A hitter up against a Major league pitcher in the World Series. You season him first in the AAA and see how he performs over time before moving him up. No one needs a .190 batting shortstop with excellent glove or lip.

To ‘Throwing stones’ it sounds like nobody looks at you twice, there’s only been three REAL men presidents, Truman, Kennedy and Clinton.

This whole Obama thing has me scared. He is becoming like a cult leader. People refering to him as a rock star, he even has the drug use background.
Maybe Gene Simmons can be the vice president. It really comes down to one thing…between the two, I have to trust Hillary. Can you really trust Obama with the world security issues?

Only a Democrat could refer to 140 million dollars of other peoples money spent on primary elections as operating on a shoestring.

The Clintons are habitual liars. They thrive on destroying other peoples lives to enhance their own wealth, prestige and power. They have engaged in thuggery when they felt it would benefit them; and have no conscience.
That is why people are choosing Barak Obama as their candidate. He is a better choice than either Clinton, and he has a vision of a united country.
YES WE CAN.

“Pimping” had nothing to do with insulting Chelsea. It was used to describe the reprehensible actions of her parents in *using* her for political gain.

Oh, forgot one thing…..it’s difficult to remember everything, there’s so much! Remember Sandy Berger stealing documents from the National Archives to protect the Clintons??? Hiding them under a trailer? Unbelieveable…these people will stop at NOTHING to get their power back….

Were very surprised yjay Webb Hubbell has not also come to Chelsea’s defense.

Gary,
wasn’t it Webb Hubble who described the clintons as a “tornado that blows through peoples lives, destroying everything in it’s path” or something to that effect?

Why wasn’t OLberHead suspended and condemned for saying Bush was pimping out Petraeus? double standard!

I thought the Clinton campaign told him to shut up ! ! ! I guess his ears are plugged but the vocal cords are on automatic.
Stop whining about Chelsea drawing comments from the media. When you shove your 27 year old, YES, 27 year old ! ! daughter in front of the media sharks, what do you expect? Grow up William, eat a Big Mac and ‘chill’.

THE CLINTONS ARE PIMPING THERE DAUGHTER OUT FOR VOTES. SHES OUT GIVING BLOW JOBS IN THE BACK ROOMS SO THEY CAN GET SOME MORE VOTE.
FACE THE FACTS PROPLE ALL THE CLINTON ARE AND EVER WILL BE IS WHITE TRASH PIMPS….
P.S. H.C. IS A DIKE

Davis, I couldn’t have said it better. A true father would have respected all young ladies under HIS supervision. Great comment.

Honestly. $140 million is a shoestring campaign budget? Is this how she would manage the economy?
This excuse is “priceless”.

I AGREE WITH YOUR STATMENT – DAVIS I COPIED IT BUT COULD N’T WRITE AN ADDITION TO IT..

Reviewing Hillary’s methodical playing of the “Race card”, and “The Perpetual Victim” against Obama; and, her recent commentary on Iraq; Pakistan; Energy Policy; the need for her to control the 14 Trillion $ American Economy from her White House Politburo (this from a woman who hasn’t managed so much as a corner vegetable stand, or for that matter her own marriage; but, of course you could count Whitewater, and her tenure as “Madam” for Bill’s White House Brothel); her Marxist statement in San Francisco: “We’re going to have to take more from you, and give it to others for the common good.”; Illegal Immigration; Taxes; Infanticide; Massive new Government spending; Multi million $ Senate earmarks for supporters of Hillary’s Presidential campaign; Garnishing of your wages to fund her coveted Socialized medicine program; and, the Clinton’s history of emasculating the military, verifies that this grievously flawed woman would be the female version of the Jimmy Carter debacle that gave us the Ayatollah Khomeini who ushered in rampant Islamic radicalism; block-long lines at our gasoline stations; a severely hollow military; and, a record Misery Index. Only much worse. Considering all of her recent gaffes, e.g. “I voted FOR IT (referring to the Bankruptcy Bill); but, I was glad to see that it didn’t pass.”; and, her increasingly frequent crying jags, one has to wonder if excessive use of Botox has affected her mental stability. It’s no wonder that her campaign staff is shielding her from reporter and audience unscripted questions. The prospect of Madam Hillary as President; in a word: TERRIFYING. Greg Neubeck

Hillary is Pimping the Pimping Out Remark

A great deal has been made about the comment that was made by David Shuster of PMS NBC when he said that it appeared as if the Clinton campaign was sort of pimping out Chelsea. This caused a firestorm among the liberals who are uninformed about the ne…

Americans have lost the grace and the ability to be kind and civil to each other. I see only reverse racism practised by Obama who practically has not a clue on leading the USA. His vocabulary comprises only the word “change’ and anymorequestions on the substance and what it means, he is lost. It truly is a crying shame what Bush has done to Americans. He had made them yearning so much for change, even a moron like Obama seems refreshing. After eight years of a dumb Bush, they are now picking an equally dumb orator. What a shame indeed!

“Chelsea shouldn’t be subjected to vulgarities though, regardless of having high-profile parents.”
It was vulgar, yes, but the fact is, the vulgarity was aimed at the operators of the campaign. That is Mrs. Clinton and staff. While it was a vulgar description, it was an accurate one. They are using their daughter to gain votes. Period.

I’m shaking my head in disbelief. A woman who’s built a reputation on being able to take the heat is now spinning herself the underdog; pitiable and put upon by the press. Is there anything Hil
won’t do to become president?

Chelsea’s an adult. Let’s face it- if you enter the fray, you’d better expect to come under scrutiny like anyone else.

What a country! The once most respected model of democracy has become totally focussed on sexual morality developed by a collection of long dead, probable perverts trying to achieve monetary advantage over their fellows. Why has a large part of the non-Islam world been able to move forward in matters of human sexuality while America is busy trying to catch up with the repressive sexual morality of its Islamic enemies?
The use of sex terminology to comment on the candidates and the apparent deep concern with the candidates, their friends, acquantances and even their pets sexual activities past, present and future suggest there is something very wrong with the would-be voters. Sexual morality seems to be the most important issue in the election, not poverty, not “the war”, not the erosion of civil and legal rights, not the healthcare crisis, not the diminishing quality of life for the average American, just sexual morality. Sexuality is part of human nature. There is no correct or incorrect methods, practices, viewpoints or philosophies about it. As long as whatever happens is acceptable to the parties involved, voyeurs should either silently watch or concern themselves with something else. Fornication in the middle of the road should be considered a safety issue not one of moral turpitude.
The comment about Chelsea was inappropriate and if it was an attempt to be funny, it was not. President Clinton’s displeasure and his comments were justified as any father’s complaints in a similar situation would be. The mention of President Clinton’s past sexual exploits, while evidently extremely distressing to some, were between consenting adults and only of concern to the parties involved and totally irrelevant to the situation at hand.
BTW to throwing stones: who cares what you remember? If you are going to vote based on someone else’s past actions you are living proof the world was created at the time Bishop Usher said it was.

CAVLOSNAP, YOU MY FRIEND ARE AN INTELLIGENT MAN!!!

The total lack of self awareness of the Clintons continues to astonish and amaze me. Bill says “I don’t want to talk about the press. I want to talk about the people. That’s what’s wrong with this election, people trying to take this election away from the people.” Yet that is EXACTLY what Hillary and her staff are trying to do by arguing that superdelegates (i.e. unelected party officials)should give her this election even if she is behind in the popular vote and in pledged delegates. And if that doesn’t work, then she wants to count the FL and MI delegates when she agreed ahead of time to the rules. Unbelievable that anyone could ever vote for such a pair of hucksters!

Bill Clinton’s comparison after Obama’s SC win to Jesse Jackson was borderline racist. They have been playing race politics from the start. Unbelievable.

If Chelsea Clinton cannot take the heat Chelsea Clinton should stay out of the kitchen.

Chelsea has entered the ring. It is ugly and cruel but that’s what happens when you stick your hand into the badger’s den.

“He said they’d done well considering their slim budget. “We’ve gotten plenty of delegates on a shoestring,” he said.
He did not mention that his wife’s campaign has raised more than $140 million.”
Wow, the Cayman Islands have been very very good to the Clintons. Now $140 million is just a “shoestring” to them.

“Clintonspeak used to work. Doesn’t anymore and it’s too late for them to try being real. Eventually lying catches up with everyone.”
Absolutly!

Chelsea IS indeed being politically “pimped out” by her parents, bringing dounuts to poll workers, lunching with super delegates, shes not allowed to speak so what else can she do?

Hey – Wait a minute —- This is not about Hillary or Chelsea.
This is about Bills Legacy!
It’s all about you Bill, it always has been.

1. My comment, “A jet fighter never looks in his rear view mirror” had nothing to do with George W. Bush. It was told to me by a “real” jet fighter pilot who was in combat action and when he told that phrase, it was in reference to life. One should never look back but keep your eyes on what’s ahead. That was my interpretation of it and i was referencing it to everyone who looks to the past, the oh so boring past here on Bill and Monica that is old news.
2. I know it’s an article about Bill, Pepe!!! But this is the comment section and I’m commenting on the fact that it’s being brought up again. The oh so boring past here on Bill and Monica that is old news.
3. The President of the USA not on par with an intern…I’m not excusing him or his judgement but we are created equal and that at the end of the day we are all human. What fantasy world do you live in.
4. 21 year old with a fifty year old man…Hmmm, wow, that’s never happened before, talk about naive.
5. Boss on par with intern, Hmmm, how old is the intern. How about a married college professer with a 19 year old student?? Do you read the paper and how old are you??
6. Look at your #6…cool, I don’t think so for I am a devoted husband who would never stray…never have after 20 years. Realistic, yea, I’ve seen a lot in my lifetime, nothing suprises me.
7. My daughter is 19 and on the pill…how do I know, because we communicate! Also I don’t think of her in any position but you know what, I’m sure my wife’s father doesn’t think about his daughter with me…some guys just don’t go there.
8. You sound like Obama, young, unexperienced, and I wouldn’t would for you either.
Happy Valentines Day!!!
God Bless America!!

David Shuster might have just sealed the election for Obama… I bet the Clinton’s discussed and were planning on using Chelsea more… I grew up with a friend who turned out to be psychotic. I learned the only way to beat him was to tell everyone every trick he likes to do (which by the way remind me of every trick Bill and Hillary have done, the crying, the labeling of people that have you figured out as “obsessed”, even reading the stories of people who worked with the Clinton’s like Dick Morris remind me of exact events I went through with this kid). When I called Jason out on all of his little tricks he wasn’t able to do those tricks and he eventually through time lost all of his “friends”. [That my friends is the sure fire way to beat Hillary in a campaign, you call her out on everything in the beginning even if it makes you look stupid, then she will dig her own grave, you just have to had her the shovel] Oh, and ah by the way, never in my life has the word “friend” been said and people trying to figure out the definition of the word “friend” then in that time of my life growing up with Jason. Now I watch the TV and the word “friend” is used in such a way by so many people who know the Clintons that it reminds me of this psychotic friend I grew up with…

I don’t like Bill Clinton! Don’t trust him, never have, never will! I applaud him however for taking MSNBC to task. If you want to make cruel,snide remarks about someones daughter, you should be prepared to accept the consequences. Perhaps the owners of MSNBC should take heed of Mrs, Clinton’s remarks stating the FOX News is more fair to her!

Seriously, did anyone see Hillary speak yesterday before a large group of Hispanics telling them she likes spicy food! No shame…

Those are rationalizations, LibraMan. Honesty and integrity are unequivocal and resonate.

With Hillary losing a foothold on her apparent destiny to become POTUS, does anybody else out there think that Mr. Obama’s security staff needs to be very diligent in their protection of the candidate? The Clinton’s have time after time proven they will do ANYTHING to win. Remember, she has somehow been deemed the “rightful heir” to the presidential throne. Is a revisiting of what happened June 1968 at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles in order? Not to play Oliver Stone here, but if backed into a corner, would Bill and Hillary play the one card they know would secure the nomination? I’m not a right-wing loon (registed Dem) by the way, just wondering how dangerously far the Clinton’s thirst for power run?

Clinton has spent more than $120 million – with the possible exception of Obama, that’s more than anyone has ever spent for a party nomination – in any race, any year, any country, and probably any planet.
Of all the absurd things I’ve heard Bill say this campaign season, saying she’d gotten her delegates on a shoestring budget is just, well, beyond absurd.
They may be on a shoestring now, but certainly hadn’t been while winning their delegates.
Eh, why bother – I saw the Rasmussen Reports tracking poll yesterday and today, and its over. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if people start advising Clinton to concede before Wisconsin. Not sure she’ll listen, but she’ll be hearing that, and from trusted friends.

Libra Man: Have you seen the list of the Clinton BAG MEN?????
If you think that Rezco equals the Clinton LIST, you are smoking something you rolled yourself.

Bill’s comments give us an indication of just how much the Clintons will use the gender card-”you’re being mean to my wife”–if she is elected. Will they use it with foreign leaders as well–”Putin, you’re being mean to my wife”?

Puhleeze! This whole controversy over Shister using the term “pimped out” is ridiculous. It’s a figure of speach. He’s not literally calling Chelsea Clinto a whore. The only reason this is a big deal is because Hillary’s campaign wants to play the victim, and MSNBC is bending over backwards to kiss her backside because they don’t want her to pull out of the upcoming debate on their network.
That’s ALL this is about. If you think otherwise, then you’re just naive.
As one of the first commenters pointed out, I love how Bill comes out and talks about offending women. If anyone would know it would be him. He’s done plenty of offensive things to women.

I certainly agree with Mr. Clinton that the comments about his daughter were untrue cheap shots. However, Hillary being an underdog is a fairytale. Hillary started with much more money than her opponents and much more “insider” support than her opponents. Somehow she blew her money, her support, and her lead. That does not make her an underdog, it makes her a loser.

Bill: You’re only supposed to PROMOTE me, not DEFEND me…. REMEMBER??? You said you’d learned your lesson. Yeah, right! Like you learned your lesson after the Lewinsky thing. I stated on the record that you wouldn’t be a problem moving forward so don’t make a liar out of me AGAIN, OK?!?!?
Your wife

Obama is a great candidate, the best viable male candidate since Bill Clinton, maybe even since Robert F. Kennedy. His best campaign slogan — “Time For Change” — says it all. He represents a younger version of our “Children of the 60s” generation (born after 1940 and before the 1970) in presidential politics and a new color to boot (amazing he is our only perceived black U.S. Senator — of course, he is multi-racial — aren’t most of us these days?). His speech-making talents are as impressive as they are obvious. If progressive politics are we, Obama R US — more so than Hillary, I am chastened to confess. Scholastically, his credentials are superb — Columbia University is one of our best.
He hails from a reliably Democratic and liberal state (Hillary’s state — what a great year for Illinois).
If I may be permitted to bubble over a bit, Obama is passionate, charming, clearly well-intentioned, immensely likeable, and sells well his desire to change the culture of Washington D.C. As a state senator, Barrack was a champion of the under-privileged, which speaks to my heart.
Despite some strangely suspicious polls, I don’t believe the theory that he can beat McCain whereas Hillary cannot. But his gender and demeanor are definitely not polarizing — like say Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson or any woman intending to be the head honcho in America. There is a reasonableness about the man, a clarity of thinking that just — dare I say it — inspires. I like him, I respect him, and, gosh, I Think I Love Him (thank you, Emmy Lou Harris).
My arguments for Hillary are not very inspirational I fear; worse yet, not very persuasive. Her resume is superior; her accomplishments more substantial; her public advocacy more profound and broader. She is the same generation, though far more seasoned (not usually a bad thing); her international relations and contacts incomparable; her position on the war now, virtually identical; ditto for health care, balanced budget, campaign and lobby reform; gun control; pro choice; taxation; immigration; energy; global warming, et al. Nothing in terms of issues significantly separates Hillary from Barack.
Ironically, the campaign slogan “Time For Change” — suits both candidates. The change we need from Bush to…well, practically anybody. To me it is clear from her credentials and experience that Hillary is far better prepared for the presidency than was Bill (or is even today in my mind). However, I think the majority of Americans would gladly go back to the days of the Clinton administration — a time of peace and property despite the manacles and interminable miseries of Monicagate. A perusal of reasonably balanced historians leads me to believe Bill Clinton will be ranked among the very best of our presidents.
But all this is not the real point for me. The real change…and the most important change needed in our world today…is the gender change. I am not sorry to write it, but many are tired of reading and hearing it — particularly the patriarchs and fembots.
Feminism has become a bad word. Politicians fear it. The backlash against the women’s movement has been brutal and vicious. The Patriarchy is fierce and formidable. We have been taught to shut up about our poor, oppressed, abused women. No Equal Rights Amendment for our country. No siree, Bob. “By God, what do women want? They’ve the vote, the purse strings, and the men by the balls!”
So here is the radical feminist line from this sixty year old ex-patriarch:
Darlins’ , you’ve been looking for love in all the wrong places. It is time to stop looking for answers, happiness, and salvation in men. The real change, the significant change is a change in leadership gender. Men have been in charge of everything for at least 5000 years. To this very day, they dictate all aspects of life — corporate, government, military, law, education, philosophy, art, science, environment, love — even for whom we shall vote (the media is owned and micro-managed by men, afterall).
We all want to believe that our country will improve with an improvement in the quality of our leadership. Fine. I want to believe that too. But American women and men have been looking to men for quality leadership since 1776. It hasn’t worked. The twentieth century saw more deaths due to war than all the other centuries of humankind’s existence combined. And for the first time in our history, 3 out of 4 humans killed in war were women and children. And worse yet, in Vietnam and Iraq, more children have been killed than soldiers.
Where are the women leaders that have led us to this abomination? They are certainly not in charge. Of that we may be certain.
Immortality is a sweet dream. But Jesus as Mother Earth salvation is an illusion. No man or man-god can save this world. Our last hope is with the mothers. They are our only hope. We have tried all other options to no avail. Men failed. Women must succeed — for the sake of the children.
The single step that will take us home the surest and the fastest is but one small step for a woman, one giant leap for humankind. The top spot on Mother Earth will be a democratically elected woman. Hillary Clinton – A WOMAN IN CHARGE.

Character, come on, let’s talk about the Kennedys!!!

Oh shut up Bill

$140 million is a shoestring? Poor Hillary – Bill sabotaged her again. Bill’s a disgrace but Barack Hussein Obama is a danger. We have three very bad candidates for President now but Hillary will be out soon. Hillary burned through $140 million? Where did it all go? Plastic surgery for the whole family?

Once again, America’s most scandal-ridden President has demonstrated that Hillary’s two biggest detriments to her ambitions to become America’s “Evita Peron” are her own lefist (some might say Communist)history, and her husband’s record and his BIG mouth.
Even if Bill shut up today, Hillary’s ultra-leftist record is reason enough to imprison her, and her husband, and she should be disqualified as a candidate on that alone.

Bill Clinton is telling like it is. Let the media attack him for it.

So Hillary has burned through $140 million….even is she had another $500 million it would not matter. Yeah, it might help her overcome Obamarama, but then she goes against McCain who is polling 11 pts. ahead of Clinton on a consistent basis.
Come election day in November, McCain by 8 over Hil….

Shuster only said what everyone else was saying. BIG FAT DEAL! He didn’t say anything wrong. The Clintons will do ANYTHING for free press, is this the best they can do? The Clintons are pathetic & desperate.

I’m betting much of the Obama craze is really anti-Clinton craze. There seem to be fewer and fewer Clinton loyalists holding out for Hillary’s resurrection. Maybe they were just looking for a reasonable alternative and decided loyalty doesn’t trump vengeance.
At any rate, the general election will require Obama to come up with more than an empty cup and unfundable promises ala the Clinton modus operandi itself. People will be looking for the beef!

So I went to the local bumber sticker store and was just looking at the political stuff as the clerk came to place something new on the counter…..
It read “IMPEACH Bill CLINTON…AGAIN! and Hillary too”
At least the Rs are getting a jump on the Ds this cycle. Impeach them before they get in office? Can that happen?

Funny, isn’t it. The Clintons love the press as long as the press loves them. When they get treated like everyone else, they suddenly get testy about it! It is also funny to read comments by their supporters who seem to have just discovered that the Clintons lie! Duh!

Let’s see them tax records, Clintons. Before I invest in any company, I look at the balance sheet.
In fact: I can’t invest in a public company unless they produce their numbers.
Odd that I can’t see the candidate’s balance sheet before I ‘invest’ in them.
Also: If there is nothing to hide in the Clinton tax records… why the spinning and hemming and hawing?
Cover ups, spin, abuse of power, a long list of dead and disenfranchised associates, piles of distracting legal issues, pimping the Lincoln Bedroom… The Clintons better clean up their own house before we put them in ours at 1600 Pen. Ave.

OBAMA IS JUST EMPTY PROMISES AND SIDESHOWS.

OBAMA WOULD DO WELL IN A CARNIVAL SIDESHOW.PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO SEE RIGHT TROUGH HIS POETRY.

Maybe Bill should hit the emir of Dubai up for some more campaign contributions..

I agree with Matt. Before the public invests in a candidate it should be able to review his/her balance sheet and income statement. Why does Hillary not share hers with the public? What possibly could be the reason?

If Chelsea can’t stand the heat, she should get out of the kitchen. I can’t say it better than President Harry Truman.

I agree. I think that a lot of the Obama vote is anti-Clinton vote. Many want the House of Clinton to fall.

Thank God they’ve lost!!! Let the Clinton crooks spend more of their money though; it’s quite comical. Hillary will go down kickin and screaming.

Bill Clinton’s comments drip with irony consider the fact that he is an accused rapist and a notorious abuser of women.

Hillary and Bill will never run out of money. They can always launder more Chinese money or go to Dubai and tote home millions in arab oil money. It will be a great day when this corrupt and dishonest family is no longer prominent in the American political scene.

Bill said: “… the political press has avowedly played a role in this election. I’ve never seen this before.”
Shoe, meet the other foot. If you’re a Republican, you’ve seen it every day for the last 40 years.

There is no one to vote for, just face facts, the only ones willing to run aren’t the kind of folks we want to run, but I can’t say that I blame anyone for not wanting to subject themselves or there families to the circus. Maybe we should all write in Colbert…

Regarding B. Clinton’s comment: “She’s had, the political press has avowedly played a role in this election. I’ve never seen this before.”
He should take a look at how Ron Paul, Bill Richardson, Dennis Kucinich, and many of the other candidates fared this election due to unfair media coverage. In today’s U.S. media, unfair political favoring is the norm.

It’s interesting that both sides of the aisle are blaming the press for their woes this year. The conservatives blame the liberal media, the Clintons yammering about the political press. Cripes, no wonder no one can take responsibility for their own words and actions anymore.
The Clintons should understand better than anyone that whatever you put out there is going to get trampled on by someone. They had always been very protective of Chelsea, and the news media generally respected those boundaries. Now, as an adult, she’s out there campaigning for her mom. So all bets are off. Was the MSNBC comment vaguely out of line? Yeah, I guess. But as others have said, it’s not a slam on Chelsea… it’s a slam on Bill & Hillary taking advantage of their daughter’s youth (and gender) to appeal to an audience that’s otherwise swaying the other direction. In modern use, around the childless dinner table, that’s the very definition of “pimping.” Is it appropriate for TV? Maybe not. Worth all this outrage? No way.
I have a sinking feeling that, no matter what voters in the remaining states say, Hillary will find a way to worm her way into the election, be it with Michigan & Florida delegates, superdelegates, whatever. That makes Bill’s comments in the above article, about the press taking the election away from the people, incredibly ironic, since that’s exactly what Hillary will do.

Again Bill Clinton is playing race card agaist Obama, while the press pointed that Clinton’s campaign is pimping out Chelsea.
Just there is no incident that can stop the Clintons from finding an angle to attack Obama, is there?
And for Bill to say that this is for their daughter and all women. B…S…! We women do not pimp out like your daughter did. We, the honest ones, do not go out with someone 6 years our junior, in order for him to do our mom a favor. Ugh! You pimped out your daughter, and turned around to give us a lecture. Thanks but listen the Clintons: You are WRONG to pimp out your daughter. If anyone should be fired, it seems to be you from your parenting job.

I think that Bill Clinton has a point here. Make a critical statement about Obama and everyone claims that you are playing the race card. But slandering Hillary and her daughter is fair game. Seems like the perfect definition of hypocricy…
We all need free press and freedom of expression, but we should not forget that the person we are writing or talking about has rights, too. When it gets personal and when the family is used as a substitute target, the fun ends and the smear begins. That’s what I like about the mob: The family is sacred and everything is not personal…
BTW: If Obama sponsored 152 bills and resolutions and cosponsored 427 bills in the 109th Congress during 2005 and 2006…
that would mean 577 bills in 104 weeks…
more than 5 per week or in other words a bill-a-day.
Does he have at least time enough to read the bills he is sponsoring? Guess not…

I sincerely hope KJB is being sarcastic.

Meet Barack Obama: “The man who says NOTHING better than ANYBODY!!!”
As a Libertarian-Independent, the prosepct of Barack Obama becoming the next Commander-in-Chief is as head-shakingly ubelievable as having the current occupant.
Who’s that man behind the curtain? Cut the mic, turn off the lights, empty the stadium, and turn off the camera all you have left is an empty suit. Empty Suits look great on Saks 5th Avenue not in the Oval Office, not in The White House, not on my dime, not now, not anytime…

hey billie? i hear there going to put monicas dress in the smithsonium.you were the most embarassing piece of crap to be in the white-house.president regan never entered the oval office without a suit, tie jacket.you promised hillary the white house,for your cheating !but instead you sabatoge her campaign purposely.great!thanks.we dont want socialized politics here.

lets see ! we have a muslim,who takes his oath with a koran.and we have a socialist ready to tax us to death !communist medicine doesent work. canada pays 50% of there pay cheak for a doctor you cant see,unless your very rich.we are not a communist country !so go live there and tell us how much you like it.

Chelsea? You mean the cute little pre-teen hugging her teddy bear while holding Mommy and Daddy by the hand as she walks to the local public elementary school in the D.C. neighborhood where they all live happily ever after together?

“That’s what’s wrong with this election, people trying to take this election away from the people.”
Umm, Bill, are you referring to the media here or you and your wive’s superdelegates?

Did Slick Willie say they were running the campaign on a shoe string budget or a “g” string budget???

What an AWFUL little man.

As long as Chelsea was out of it, sitting at home, being a daughter, she was entitled to privacy, and to be left out of the media, but as soon as Mom and Dad put her out there on the campaign trail, she became fair game for anyone to take a shot at her. Its all part of it. You cannot have it both ways. You want to protect her, keep her out of the picture.
“Pimping” someone out, is hardly an offensive term in this cruddy society we are stuck with, anyway
John

Added the president, “She just stuck up for her daughter, and for girls everywhere, and women everywhere, and it’s about time somebody did after a lot of the rhetoric we’ve been through in this election.”
IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT BILL ISN’T IT

the Clintons are only about the Clintons
they are special in there own minds.
Everyone else must need them they are Clinton.
There self centered world is the only thing that is right.
Others are only here for them.
They can only there somthing wrong with anyone who dos not agree with there point of view.
They want us just to shut and get a long with meaningless lives for they are Clinton

Well EXCUSE me, but who is sticking up for the BOYS???
If he was President for 8 years, etc. etc and still refers to WOMEN or his adult daughter as “girls” then this is just confirmation of his and his complete and extended families complete clueless state of AFFAIRS… oops… did I say that outloud???

President Clinton is ABSOLUTELY right, the political press has been incredibly biased in their favor of Obama, and they have had a huge part in driving the results of the Democratic nomination, to their grave discredit. Totally unprofessional in journalism!!! But, hopefully, it will be the female species of this nation who will decide this election and vote based on experience and NOT on the press-appointed messiah. Most of these political press are so afraid of a strong, capable woman, despite the fact that they all have mothers who were possibly, hopefully similar. They must be so proud!!David Shuster, Chris Matthews and the like should be fired. Go to the polls, ladies and show them what “CHANGE” really means! And maybe, just maybe, the political press will report THAT!!! YoU GO GIRL!!! We’re counting on you!

I find it funny everyone who talks about the Clinton family being so corrupt, granted they have issues; but what about the Bush/Bin Laden Family? People in glass houses…

Nobama No way! Stop the evil one. Vote republican.

Irony of ironies that the very couple who propelled crude, immoral, to say nothing of dishonest behavior into our living-rooms daily via TV scandals on a daily basis would complain about the misuse (or not) of a single word. I cannot think of a single organization let alone individual or couple that has done more to erode the civility of our public discourse than the first couple It is my sincere hope that the Clintons will be rejected by the public and the democratic establishment so they won’t be able to harm our country any more than they already have.

What has Hillary done while she has been in the Senate? Why does everyone let her count her husband’s presidency as her own political experience? Did she have her hands in his pockets and make presidential decisions? If so, do you want more of that? Check the Library of Congress out and see the types of bills Hillary sponsored. Naming buildings was a big one! Then look at the bills that Obama sponsored, cosponsored, and wrote! I would say that he had alot more experience and positive actions in the Senate than she did. She was too worried about what other people would think if she sponsored a bill that someone didn’t like because she knew she would run for president. Obviously she was not thinking about what was best for the country then, what makes her so well suited now?

Hillary is my Senator and while she hasn’t been a bad senator, neither has she been an outstanding senator. I am not aware of any significant legislation bearing her name. She seemed to use a lot of her votes, power and efforts preparing herself for her run for President. Though that may be fine, not on my dime.

I must say, it’s entirely entertaining watching the Democrats tear themselves apart.
In what should be a Democratic year because of Bush’s errors, it’s all going to south for them–and quickly! They’re going to nominate a person with the most liberal voting record in the Senate, a man with three whole years in serious govt service, a man who never ran a business or any significant enterprise at all, a man who never served in the military, a man who cherishes his association with a black militant church, a man who somehow taught law for ten years at the University of Chicago without publishing any legal scholarship, a man whose principal virtue is inspiring left-wing airheads with Robin Hood economics and neohippie bravado, a man who almost certainly cannot win a single red state, a man who constantly speaks in class-warfare and racialist overtones.
This is the best the Democrats can do? Really? Hillary must be a weak candidate indeed to lose to someone so obviously on the fringe.
Just this week, we saw Obama propose that retirees should pay no income taxes on earned income under $50K per year. This will “unite” America, by pitting one group against another as sharply as it gets? Young people with babies earning $40K have to pay taxes, in part to pay Social Security and Medicare entitlements for seniors, but those same seniors would be exempt from federal income taxes?
The man is a fool, who will only get the votes of fools, and by the fall he’ll probably be a laughingstock and his groupies will be looking for their next messiah over whom they can cry, to whom they can give supplications of blind faith, and whose feet they will kiss.
McCain by 10-12 points in November.

Hillary lost the election last week. It’s impossible for her to catch up now. The media keeps her alive just so she can draw in more money.

“upper-income voters who, who, don’t really need a president …” now, that’s just daffy…

I hate to do this, but I have to agree with Bill Clinton (at least partly): there is double standard.
MSNBC has been using terms like that (and far worse) about Bush and other Republicans for years, and no one has been suspended for it.
So he’s right, there is a double standard, but not in the way he contends.

In reality, when one looks upon this, the media is trying to overlook her loss of her campaign money and show a more sturdy side, one of Bill protecting his family, and showing that they aren’t going down without a fight. In all honesty, the democrats need to get there heads out of the dirt because this is their election to win, but they are destroying themselves by not working as one. Clinton, Obama, it’s all the same. Are we ready for a two year Illinois senator, who spent really ONE year in his office and another campaigning for president. Are we ready for a female senator and solid politician who has a husband who was one of the greatest Presidents of this nation with an ugly personal life… I am not sure, but everyone needs to take a second look before reacting.

Shuster’s comment disappointed and disgusted me. MSNBC’s continuous, veiled sexist remarks are unacceptable. If it was racist, much more action would have been taken.

I look at all these posts and all I see is the same stuff the politicans go through, hate, rivalry, distortion, complasency, idiocracy, and down right bashing. Is this what politics have come to be? Is the whole point of politics now to bash each other verbally and mentally until the other gives in or one achieves their goal? I honestly thought it was suppose to be about the persons interests and abilities, not their private lives and interactions with the media. NO it is suppose to be about how the country works as one and what they can do for the country and what is best for the country. The whole point of politics is to elect someone who will make the decisions you want made or you would make in their place. We have politicians, because unlike in the Greek days, we can not all go to congress and decide for ourselves. Think about that before you vote. Every politician is full of crap, everyone does something for personal gain, but vote upon the basis of the one that best suites you and the nation, not the one that has the best slogan or the best ability to humilate or insult their opponent.

How was the pimping comment sexist? Are people suggesting Shuster wouldn’t have said the same thing about McCain and his daughter if there existed similar parent-child exploitation? I’m not even sure why Shuster made such a comment – Haven’t many past presidential candidates’ adult children engaged in such campaigning efforts?
And one thing I do know. If there were any WMDs found in Iraq, they were chemical weapons, most of which were manufactured pre-1991. These were not the WMDs we went to war to find and destroy. Why do people on these threads attempt to mislead others when there’s no opportunity for political gain in so doing?

Obama dodws such things as this to exhibit the complete room applauding him. Remember when he asked the very best Court and said excitedly to stay together ahead of time and used his bully pulpit to reprimand them. They’re his equal in governemtn. He could be type of a child that nobody ever trained any manners or proper behavior rules.
