8 p.m. on CNN. All that stands between us and a guy capable of raising more than $2 million a day is this horrible, feeble loser. I asked you before but I’ll ask you again: Is there anything left in that bottomless bag o’ Clintonian tricks? She’s not actually going to go out there and drone about “experience” for the 20th debate in a row, is she? Dear lord, Hillary, at least give us a meltdown to remember you by.
If she complies, there’ll be video here later. In the meantime, take heart from this. It’s the storied Buffenbarger bootleg — the longest sustained evisceration of the Messiah yet on record. Pretty dull, but with a little coaching from BJ our gal could package it just right for the TV audience. Watch the first minute, then skip ahead to 8:00 or so and stick with it for another 90 seconds. Eye of the tiger, baby.

Hillary should have asked if Deval Patrick is more qualified for the Presidency than Obama since they both have the same positions and Obama gives Deval’s speeches.
rw on February 21, 2008 at 9:07 PM
O: We are going to give EVERYONE health insurance as good as that that people in Congress get.
ME: That should cost about four trillion a year Barack.
How ya going to pay for it?
If they elect either of these bozos and they get 1/4 of their agenda passed, they are going to force ‘Atlas to Shrug’
LegendHasIt on February 21, 2008 at 9:07 PM
Then Obama could come back with “is Bill going to be President again since Hillary keeps runnning on HIS record” ;-)
TOPV on February 21, 2008 at 9:09 PM
Ese tiempo esta llegando mas pronto de lo que piensas Gringos como Juan el Vengativa pronto sera el Presidente de America del Norte con mí el verdadero poder detras de la lanzada.
Oh I am so sorry. Some of you Gringos are probably slow in learning your new language.
That time is coming sooner than you think Gringos as Juan el Vengeful will soon be el Presidente de America del Norte with me the real power behind the thrown.
VinyFoxy on February 21, 2008 at 9:10 PM
Anyone else notice that gleam in Hill’s eye while Obambi is talking?
“Super Delegates, Florida and Michigan, oh my!”
“Super Delegates, Florida and Michigan, oh my!”
“Super Delegates, Florida and Michigan, oh my!”
fogw on February 21, 2008 at 9:10 PM
LOL
Limerick on February 21, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Hillary: I will take things away from you. The government will control you.
BKennedy on February 21, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Commander-in-Chief Hillary Clinton?
I feel dizzy and my left arm is starting to hurt.
Over30 on February 21, 2008 at 9:13 PM
“the real power behind the thrown”
VinyFoxy on February 21, 2008 at 9:10 PM
The thrown? The Thrown?
You have much to learn of the Gringo language yourself, Chingon.
Miss_Anthrope on February 21, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Comprehensive Immigration Reform failed miserably TWICE. It failed even worse the second time around. And bringing it back is a campaign pledge???
GogglesPisano on February 21, 2008 at 9:15 PM
This is no longer even close to amusing.
It is frightening.
Both of them are running for dictator, not president.
No wonder they want to talk to Raoul Castro. They want pointers.
MrScribbler on February 21, 2008 at 9:16 PM
OT, my spouse thinks O’Bambi has a hearing aid of some sort, implant, whatever, he acts like he’s taking direction. Odd….
thebookkeeper on February 21, 2008 at 9:16 PM
What`s she going to be commanding if she wants to bring all the troops home? The defeat parades?
ThePrez on February 21, 2008 at 9:17 PM
Maybe because they know even if McCain wins…
he’ll sign it…He will be looking out for his LEGACY IF he gets in office.
TOPV on February 21, 2008 at 9:17 PM
Hillary said the “k” word (Kosovo)… will the Messiah return the volley?
NightmareOnKStreet on February 21, 2008 at 9:17 PM
I think you are right. It looks like he is taking down the notes that are dictated through his earpiece. Odd.
carbon_footprint on February 21, 2008 at 9:18 PM
Will B.O. mention Bill’s folly in Kosovo??
NightmareOnKStreet on February 21, 2008 at 9:18 PM
Please don’t tease me and make me change the channel from the live radar sweep…which I find more exciting than the democrats.
SouthernGent on February 21, 2008 at 9:19 PM
Hillary doesn’t use her earpiece, she has a snuke. *South Park reference*
NightmareOnKStreet on February 21, 2008 at 9:20 PM
“If you think health care is expensive now, just wait till it’s free.”- P.J. O’Rourke
“I Want Universal Healthcare!, Oh and also…I’ll be ready on day one! And one more thing…Bush sucks” - H.R. Clinton

Tolly-Bahn?
carbon_footprint on February 21, 2008 at 9:20 PM
Hillary “your more clueless than I am”
Obama “your More clueless than I am”
Hillary “didnt I just say that ?”
Obama “Yeah but I said it with more conviction !”
William Amos on February 21, 2008 at 9:20 PM
Brilliant.
BTW, did anyone watch American Idol? They’re all bawling their eyes out. Next week, I predict a lot of fainting. Maybe they’ll even have the O come on as a guest host.
Buy Danish on February 21, 2008 at 9:20 PM
Our troops are capturing Taliban weapons because we don’t supply them with enough?
atxcowgirl on February 21, 2008 at 9:20 PM
He probably agrees with him.
Connie on February 21, 2008 at 9:21 PM
O: Al Quaeda is stronger than it has ever been.
Yeah Right.
O: Our troops are forced to use weapons that belong to the Taliban because Bush won’t arm them properly.
Sheesh.
How retarded do those people have to be to believe this nonsense????
LegendHasIt on February 21, 2008 at 9:22 PM
Don’t have it on. Please tell me he did claim that….this is a snark…right?
Limerick on February 21, 2008 at 9:23 PM
Hillary: “Iraqis suck! if it were me I’d have just taken over the country and beaten the Taliban by forcing them to have universal health care.”
BKennedy on February 21, 2008 at 9:23 PM
I could be wrong,but the surge was to put more
hardware and more soldiers to kick AQ ass!,NO!
canopfor on February 21, 2008 at 9:24 PM
I wouldn’t believe much of this. Captains are normally in charge of Companies of 300 men or so, not platoons of 39 men.
bnelson44 on February 21, 2008 at 9:24 PM
You would think Bush is running again the amount of times his name has been mentioned tonight.
FLcapitalistthug on February 21, 2008 at 9:24 PM
And I like Obamas PUCK-istan!,Its Pakistan,say it right!
canopfor on February 21, 2008 at 9:25 PM
I was opposed to the war, because I had no say in it!
Mr. Obama.
tshell on February 21, 2008 at 9:25 PM
Barack: “We should send more money everywhere while choking taxpayers here!”
BKennedy on February 21, 2008 at 9:26 PM
So. Nobama DOES want us to be the world cop?
Connie on February 21, 2008 at 9:26 PM
I was away for
afewseveral minutes of this crapfest…was that a joke?The Messiah didn’t really say that. Right???
Dorvillian on February 21, 2008 at 9:26 PM
No snark at all. That isn’t a perfect transcription but absolutely accurate nonetheless.
LegendHasIt on February 21, 2008 at 9:26 PM
I’m sick of this Liberal berkley all of a sudden its election time,now we care about the soldiers comment,Barrack!
canopfor on February 21, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Why, at a debate, does O’Bambi keep saying “and that is something I would like to debate”. Hey Mubarak, YOU ARE AT A FREAKIN DEBATE, GET DEBATIN’!
p0s3r on February 21, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Thanks….I was afraid of that.
Limerick on February 21, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Heh. Hey, Obama, the war is a VRWC to make it impossible for us to create a universal healthcare system….
Connie on February 21, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Jane Fleming resurfaces with a new last name, a hyphenated one of course.
Kleeb.
Ok.
And she’s bitching about JMC taking private jets.
Just incredible. These people are crazy.
benrand on February 21, 2008 at 9:29 PM
I’m going to have to invest in a McCain Bumper sticker.
We’re in serious trouble now.
Dorvillian on February 21, 2008 at 9:29 PM
I’m late to this snarkfest as well,what? Taliban
weapons,Huh!
canopfor on February 21, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Dorvillian — he said it. Meant it, too.
Can’t imagine anything worse than having either BO or HRC having any authority over anyone, anywhere.
MrScribbler on February 21, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Ironic, isn’t it, that these two have to spend most of their time trying to prove they know what they’re talking about?
Connie on February 21, 2008 at 9:30 PM
I was shouting at the TV “Don’t forget, Silky.” Hillary forgot to mention Obama’s blatant plagiarizing of John Edwards. Silky isn’t part of Obama’s campaign.
Having said that, I no longer believe Obama is just a guy who makes pretty speeches. There’s a lot more to him than that. He’s smart, and he’s cleaning Hillary’s clock tonight. He does have a bunch of policies to back up the pretty speeches (They’re all wrong, of course). The problem remains, however, that Obama’s three overused buzzwords “Hope, Change & Unity” are just plain inappropriate. Change? He offers the tired old socialism that has failed all over the world. Hope? There’s nothing hopeful about socialism. Unity? Obama is the number one Liberal US Senator. Reaching across the aisle is not his bag, baby.
Phrases like “We are the change we’ve been waiting for” are just plain gibberish. If he can cut out that stuff he’ll be a more formidable candidate.
infidel65 on February 21, 2008 at 9:30 PM
LoL… Hillary complaining about secrecy
tshell on February 21, 2008 at 9:32 PM
I’m still shaking my head over the Taliban weapons statement. Amazing.
atxcowgirl on February 21, 2008 at 9:32 PM
Can you imagine the nightmare scanario of the troops saluting Obama!
canopfor on February 21, 2008 at 9:32 PM
And is Hillary going to wear that little
SMIRK all nite long!
canopfor on February 21, 2008 at 9:33 PM
My last CIC was Jimah…..that’s why it was my last.
Limerick on February 21, 2008 at 9:34 PM
In a sane world, this line would be the end of his presidential aspirations.
We need to make the world a saner place.
Dorvillian on February 21, 2008 at 9:34 PM
You insolent Gringo, insulting you future ruler like that. How dare you.! You will be among the very first Gringos to be thrown into a reeducation camp when I am the real power behind el trono!
VinyFoxy on February 21, 2008 at 9:34 PM
LOL “McCain supported the harmful Bush Tax Cuts” harmful for who Hillary? Your cronies?
BKennedy on February 21, 2008 at 9:34 PM
she must not realize that McCain voted AGAINST the tax cuts
tshell on February 21, 2008 at 9:34 PM
Wasteful tax cuts?
Connie on February 21, 2008 at 9:35 PM
Yes Hillary,Two TOWERS HIT the ground,
AQ on the run,money well spent!
canopfor on February 21, 2008 at 9:35 PM
Hillary: ‘wasteful tax cuts’
Tax cuts are wasteful? Now my head is hurting.
Over30 on February 21, 2008 at 9:35 PM
Don’t have cable. Is it over yet?
Saltysam on February 21, 2008 at 9:35 PM
Hillary: I’m going to spend more money than you can imagine, but I believe in fiscal responsibility.
MrScribbler on February 21, 2008 at 9:36 PM
Fiscal responsibility Hillary?
You mean like your campaign?
I think the tremors are getting stronger now, I may swallow my tongue soon.
Dorvillian on February 21, 2008 at 9:36 PM
Hillary: “It’ll sort itself out…”
BKennedy on February 21, 2008 at 9:36 PM
Watch it Obama,Hillary has a dagger behind her back!
canopfor on February 21, 2008 at 9:37 PM
Is Nobama going to fart now?
Connie on February 21, 2008 at 9:38 PM
OK, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that Obama just misunderstood what the Captain was telling him about the Taliban weapons(If the whole discussion isn’t a COMPLETE LIE, which it probably was).
Back in the day, there were many times that we used the enemy’s weapons. Not because we didn’t have access to better stuff, but because we ’snake-eaters’ didn’t want the bad guys to know that Americans were operating in the area.
Given that he has no clue about military affairs, maybe the Captain was just telling ‘war stories’ and Obama thought it was a lack, rather than a tactical ploy.
LegendHasIt on February 21, 2008 at 9:39 PM
Yes Barack. In Hawaii. Then you went to Ivy League Schools. Your life was sooooo hard.
BKennedy on February 21, 2008 at 9:39 PM
Another words the lying,coniving Clintons is what Obama
is saying.hehe
canopfor on February 21, 2008 at 9:39 PM
The most important thing was learning how to be responsible for my own actions, but I’m going to make sure no one else has to go through that process.
Connie on February 21, 2008 at 9:40 PM
I don’t really call your hubby with his pants down a “crisis” Hillary. Maybe for his intended victim, but not for you.
BKennedy on February 21, 2008 at 9:40 PM
Poor Hillary has a good for nothing Husband… but wait… isn’t he all her experience?
tshell on February 21, 2008 at 9:41 PM
Hillary is not doing real well here, folks.
Connie on February 21, 2008 at 9:41 PM
I feel a tear coming on….
lsutiger on February 21, 2008 at 9:41 PM
Crisis:Bimbo eruptions,maybe!
canopfor on February 21, 2008 at 9:41 PM
Hillary has been taking lessons form Scott Beauchamp.
“Face melted by roadside bomb”.
LegendHasIt on February 21, 2008 at 9:42 PM
Awwwwww………..
Connie on February 21, 2008 at 9:42 PM
Obama’s great crisis is that he used to get high and run with a bad crowd???? whatever…
rw on February 21, 2008 at 9:43 PM
I’ve decided that both of the candidates are spoiled brats
bnelson44 on February 21, 2008 at 9:43 PM
Sounds like she has given up.
Graceful Exit?
Dorvillian on February 21, 2008 at 9:43 PM
Early voting has been going on here in Texas for about 5 days. 17,000 + in Dallas yesterday to see Obama (plus many locked out). She’s toast.
Limerick on February 21, 2008 at 9:43 PM
From the Walton and Johnson ,eter…she just got clipped, from, “you know”
lsutiger on February 21, 2008 at 9:43 PM
One word summary: emetic.
Over30 on February 21, 2008 at 9:43 PM
Well, that whole debate was pointless and boring.
Connie on February 21, 2008 at 9:43 PM
Agree. (After I looked it up).
Connie on February 21, 2008 at 9:44 PM
George McGovern use to draw crowds like that.
bnelson44 on February 21, 2008 at 9:46 PM
When they were tested
The two candidates are asked to name a moment when they were tested, a question that has real bearing on the presidency, which is a constant series of agonizing decision, which all have to be made.
And both, basically, duck. Obama cites the “trajectory of my whole life” and then describes…his whole life. Clinton jokes that “everybody knows” about the political crises of the 1990s, but that she’s struck by how much harder others’ lives are.
Clinton’s answer was a stronger performance; Obama seems like he’s about ready to get out of here.
But on the substance, everyone can think of John McCain’s answer to the question of when he’s been tested. And it offers a hint of the vulnerability either could face in the general election.

bnelson44 on February 21, 2008 at 9:48 PM
The lovely Michelle needs something to keep her awake, I think. She just keeps saying
News2Use on February 21, 2008 at 9:48 PM
No he was tested when he was faced with being faithful to his FIRST wife and being a deceitful ADULTERER! He failed
TOPV on February 21, 2008 at 9:51 PM
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Limerick on February 21, 2008 at 9:51 PM
btw…it’s the same in Spanish.
Limerick on February 21, 2008 at 9:52 PM
I’d have to give this debate to Hillary. Obama sounded like John Kerry at times.
bnelson44 on February 21, 2008 at 9:53 PM
BWWAHAHAHAHAAA!!
Chakra Hammer on February 21, 2008 at 9:53 PM
Goodbye, Hillary. I’d like to say it’s been real nice knowing you… but I can’t
infidel65 on February 21, 2008 at 9:56 PM
I’m a McCainiac now.
Our Father, who art in Heaven…
Dorvillian on February 21, 2008 at 9:58 PM
It is possible that she is talking about a serviceman that has appeared on several television news shows. His face was melted by a roadside bomb. I hate myself that I can’t remember his name. I should never forget his name.
Sue on February 21, 2008 at 10:02 PM
Second look at Buffenbarger!
Seixon on February 21, 2008 at 10:02 PM
He is like Brangelina, I am calling him Barama from now on.
She looked like a menopausal deer in the headlights when she wasn’t fawning for attention from him, Campbell Brown and the audience.
She’s really a mess. There is nothing more boring than a person who starts to tell you about themselves and what they do everyday while trying to convince us that they are legitamate.
Howard Wolfson has lost his mind or never had one, either or, and she only reinforced the notion that she will not back down, even if Barama beats her.
AprilOrit on February 21, 2008 at 10:15 PM
sigh …. I miss Silky ….sigh
Chimp 6 on February 21, 2008 at 10:19 PM
I hope all of America remains aware that everything they say tonight is only a campaign promise. Long time custom dictates that each promise turns into a pumpkin after November 4.
