Reuters is running a story around the quote (of the night?) about a Clinton cleaning up after a Bush:

Clinton says she'll clean up after Bush dynasty

Thu Jan 31, 2008 10:32pm EST

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former First Lady Hillary Clinton addressed the question of political dynasties on Thursday with a one-liner that she hoped would allay concerns over two families dominating the White House for decades if she becomes president next year.

Clinton, a Democratic senator from New York, said she would "clean up" after Republican President George W. Bush just as her husband, Bill Clinton, had done after the presidency of Bush's namesake father.

"It did take a Clinton to clean (up) after the first Bush, and I think it might take a second one to clean up after the second Bush," she said to applause at a televised debate with Democratic rival Barack Obama, a senator from Illinois.

5. Hillary 08!

9. You are right, Hillary brought likeability to the table, that hurts Obama bad.

[blm]

6. What did the country get in return for the type of cleaning service Bill performed? Bush2

That big pile under the oval office rug throughout the 90s was all the outstanding matters that still required accountability on IranContra, Iraqgate, BCCi and CIA drugrunning.

Bill's generous accomodation for Poppy Bush's secrecy and privilege led directly to the return of Bush2.

Instead of Bushies being in jail by the end of 1994, the Dems in congress were turning the keys over to GOP.

Yeah - be careful what type of CLEANING SERVICE Clintons' provide the Bushes.

12. I'd have said 2 Bush Failure, 2 Clinton successes, take your pick.

11. She'll need a big broom and alot of disinfectant to clean up after the latest Bush filth.

13. Unfortunately, this quote also reminds voters of the Clinton "dynasty" as well...

which is not necessarily good for Hillary. It just ties her to Bill, his administration and recent scandals.

This is a gift for Obama to exploit.
