New subject: Agree with sonnyspats that Huckabee is very appealing. The governor experience always seems to trump Congressial experience. Heard him being interviewed several weeks ago in a longer format, forget where. One of the things he talked about is the importance of the arts in our schools. Like a guy who makes a solid point that has no demogogue potential. Which is likely why he won’t stand a chance….

Via the NYPost: Niles Lathem reports: “Looks like things are getting serious in the race for the White House – seriously lovey-dovey, that is. Judging from this photo, the spirit of bipartisan cooperation appeared to be alive and well yesterday……

the morons that support her wil be a sorry sack of dmb asses y the time this race gets going..

Former President Bill Clinton today criticized his wife, Hillary, for comments she made at a town hall meeting Sunday in Davenport, Iowa….

Basically what I’ve been trying to say all along, but much more clear. Thanks The Ritz. You win the thread.

. . . and what in my background equips me to deal . . .

*fractional pause as she senses the pile she’s about to UNINTENTIONALLY step into*

. . .with . . .

*another hesitation as she sees it clearly now*

. . .evil and bad men?

The UNINTENDED implication hits the audience who busts some large guffaws.

Then Mrs Clinton relaxes and laughs along with the obvious BUT UNINTENDED joke.

Watch the tape full resolution, large TV – it’s written on her face.

The more interesting facet of this episode is watching the “consumate politician” scramble for a graceful explanation.

First she “was trying to be funny”. No she wasn’t – it was a funny verbal gaffe she’s now trying to spin as a deliberate effort at humor.

Next she was really trying to make reference to other “evil and bad men”. That’s actually probably true, but her evolving deception is to pretend the audience – and SHE – didn’t recognize the accidental reference to Bill.

C’mon girl, admit it! You slipped and it was embarassing but funny. Be up front about it and everyone thinks you’re refreshingly real. Unfortunately you missed the chance.

Now, move along everyone, nothing to see here!

I finally broke down and watched the “Hillary sings” clip. Now when someone refers to Shrillary as tone deaf, they need to define which realm they are speaking of, political or musical. My ears still hurt.

Hillary was in Iowa this weekend, and made a little rhetorical boo-boo.

“What in my background equips me to deal with evil, bad men?”
Everyone cracks up in the audience. To me, it read as an accidental Bill reference. She didn’t mean it that……

Ready Terry McCauliffe ….. spin it, like the whirling dervish you’re paid to be.

he’s gonna die from whirling brain disease before ‘07 even ends.

Wow, first time out there with the folks and the smartest woman in the world gets her tongue flapping before her brain’s engaged, accidentally rips her unfaithful perverted husband and then has to chime in with the laughter of the audience, pretending she mean’t to say that.

Note: Audience smarter than Presidential candidate.

Ready Terry McCauliffe ….. spin it, like the whirling dervish you’re paid to be.

Irony. Maybe she was just trying to be funny and/or serious. We shouldn’t “psychoanalyze” her too much, though. Old definition of “psychoanalyze:” a deep probe into one’s subconscious motivations to understand the reasons for one’s behavior New …

The woman is a man-hating political amazon and would just as soon snap off every mans testicles as say anything positive about them. (men)

Her entire campaign will be to show how tough and sensitive she can be….a velvet hammer so to speak.
