Favorite quote from Hillary: "I can't get it together by then."

[PretzelWarrior]

It was in reference to one of the NBC stooges asking her if she could release her tax records before next Tuesday's primaries. Sure, she was talking about tax returns....but it seemed to speak to so much more.

I really don't think Hillary can get it together by next Tuesday.

[sfam]

1. Ready to release my tax returns on Day 465...nt

[krkaufman]

5. Ha! Just what I was thinking.

The answer was a dodge, obviously, wanting Democrats to make their choice without having that information available. She should've paid for her failure to release this information long ago.

[PretzelWarrior]

6. looks like she's paying.

[sandnsea]

2. Another dumb moment

How could she not have had an answer prepared. Couldn't believe it.

[Exultant Democracy]

3. Can't get her tax return together/ can run the country? Seems like a disconnect to me.

[apocalypsehow]

4. But, but, but.....I thought she was "ready on day one" for any and all challenges?

:sarcasm:

[Barack_America]

7. Is it really that hard to use a scanner?

The returns are done, I presume. Scan-and-post. How is that hard?

What needs to be done to get them "ready"?

[stillcool]

14. Yeah really...

what is up with not doing your taxes?

[TheDonkey]

8. She looked ridiculous answering that. "oh my, I've been so busy... but but buuuut"

Give it a rest Hillary. You are hiding something.

[tekisui]

9. That one and Mededeve-whatever.

[PretzelWarrior]

31. I admit. that was a hard question

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. Wait tell she Runs the Government....I can't get it together by then..

or Bill's tax returns.

[meow mix]

11. uh yah.. just need a tinsy bit more time..dang it would be so close but uh.. ive been busy! yeah..

thats it, thats the ticket!

[Cha]

12. hilaryland hasn't gotten it together

since Super Tues when the inevitable was suppose to happen but didn't.

[AgadorSparticus]

13. I'm not a big Hillary fan but really, I think they have a lot of work to do

by next Tuesday. And to me, her tax returns are really not that important. And I'm sure she doesn't keep her tax returns with her on the road. This is silly stuff...

[RoadRage]

15. Obama is just as busy as she is.. and he was able to scrape

time together to get his released.

Hillary's are important.. her & her husband have money coming in from all over... who is giving them money? Why? How much? For what - favors, etc?

The fact that she DOESN'T want them released speaks volumes to why they should be. Even her top supporter in Ohio badgered his opponent in their last race because he wouldn't release his tax records to the public.

[PretzelWarrior]

20. what if some of her mone she loaned the campaign

actually came to her as donations or other money from the same sources who already gave their max contribution in normal campaign channels? Wouldn't that rise to an ethics situation?

ANyway, I was just riffing on how her phrasing on that answer sounded like it could be an epitath for her campaign. I don't think I can get it together by then.

[tammywammy]

36. Of course she doesn't keep them with her on the road

But do you really think they do their tax returns themselves? No, she just needs a couple of minutes to call up her accountants and tell them to release them to whomever. Not that hard, it's a horrible excuse on her part.

And the fact that she loaned her account $5 million makes it more imperative to me that she release them.

[PretzelWarrior]

38. egggzactly. it's not just that Hillary isn't Bill....

I think even Bill has lost his touch on the campaign trail. And as one of the top advisers in her campaign said..."how do you campaign against a movement?"

[NJSecularist]

16. She has a staff for a reason

Instead of paying Mark Penn a ton of money, maybe she should have better used her budget and hired somebody to take care of this.

[PretzelWarrior]

21. hell, send Bill. He could run back to Chappequa and dig through the files

maybe it's in a nice organized file folder in their study.

[democrat2thecore]

17. Like she's going to sit at her kitchen table and do it herself - nt

[tabasco]

18. Same thing we would hear if she were President.

Health care?

"Sorry, can't get that together."

[Eurobabe]

19. She couldn't get it together back on 2/5, and 2/12, and....

[Ikonoklast]

22. But the donuts get delivered on time.

Priorities, people, priorities!!

[Iktomiwicasa]

33. But sadly...

...the donut MAKER doesn't get paid on time.

[PretzelWarrior]

34. oh burn. another good one.

[Ikonoklast]

37. Because the little people don't matter, only at election time

Ask the citizens of upstate New York what their senator has done for them.


Then duck.

[ashling]

23. Can't she Xerox them?

:rofl:

[PretzelWarrior]

25. Oh SNAP!

that one made me laugh

[Ichingcarpenter]

24. For the Iraq War Vote---- "I can't get it together by then."

When we here knew it was bullshit then.

[psychopomp]

26. That and the logs from her eight years as First Lady

Yes, Sen. Clinton, we would like to know, in detail, what you were up to during those eight years. Who did you meet and when? The answers are likely to be very interesting.

[PretzelWarrior]

29. you're right. they should have asked her about that too.

[PretzelWarrior]

30. you're right. they should have asked her about that too.

[Ichingcarpenter]

27. For the FISA vote........"I can't get it together by then."

When Obama showed up

[Ichingcarpenter]

28. For her tax returns and Bill's Library.."I can't get it together by then."

You couldn't get your Campaign together by then either.

[Bread and Circus]

32. "I can't get it together by then" vs. "Ready on day one".

So she's ready to be President but not ready to have her tax forms released...hmmm...

[PretzelWarrior]

35. It's what we have come to expect. kinda like....

"I am so amazingly, deeply FREAKIN' HONORED to be up her with Obama."

jump cut to Ohio on the weekend.

"SHAME ON YOU BARACK OBAMA! SHAAAMMMMMEEEE!"

[billyoc]

39. Same thing she tells her staff about their paychecks this week,

and the landlord for their office space,
and the caterer for their food,
and the print shop for their flyers... :rofl:

[psychopomp]

40. Heard from the Clinton campaign

>crickets<

[Armstead]

41. Actually, this raises more serious memories

An ongoing theme of the Clinton administration was the witholding of records or the "we are trying to organize our files before we can release them" or claims of executive privilege.

Since the Clintons already completed, organize and sent in their returns to file them, it should not be very difficult to simply make a copy to releasen them to the public.

[psychopomp]

42. A lot of paper shuffling
