The Clinton campaign literally puts the press into the crapper:

Unbelievable. Is this mere incompetence or some sort of convoluted revenge for perceived poor coverage?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. There's a nice metaphor.

Circling the drain and all.

[Medusa]

11. Gee I can't imagine why the press would be hostile towards her

now would you? :eyes:

Shouldn't the health department or someone be contacted about unsanitary conditions?

[DJ13]

2. LOL

"This has got to be a first. Here in Austin, on the night before that make-or-break Texas primary, the Clinton campaign has set up a filing center for the traveling press corps ... in a men's room."

"Posted by Karen Tumulty"

[hedgehog]

4. Everything else aside, but how comfortable would you be if you were

a female corespondent told to file from the men's room?


Isn't it great to have a woman running for President?




:sarcasm:

[redqueen]

12. Ouch. (nt)

[goletian]

3. those people might catch something in there

lol, the photo is pretty funny though.

[goletian]

20. lol thanks for posting the photo

haha, man, i would be afraid to breathe in there.

[rosetta627]

5. Wish I could see the photo, but the CNN link isn't working right

Probably running out of bandwidth.

[hedgehog]

9. I saw the photo before I posted. I picked this up from Daily Kos and

went back to the original because I was sure this was a parody, but it appears to be real.

31. Thank you hedgehog!!

Isn't the Hillary campaign concerned about this image???

Is this for real real???

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

10. #8

[rosetta627]

32. Thank you!

Priceless.

[Kittycat]

6. Is she trying to kill them?

That is the most unsanitary, disgusting thing to do. I can't believe they actually brought food in there. Good lord, I think I'm going to puke!

[high density]

7. That great Clinton Campaign planning strikes yet again

Wow. That's not good as far as I know.

[snooper2]

13. uh

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Renew Deal]

14. Here's a picture

[sniffa]

30. What? No urinal cakes?

:nuke:

[redqueen]

15. I have to figure that there was just no other room available...

cause really... :wtf:

*sigh*

They really should have worked something out... this is just so, so very wrong.

[hedgehog]

22. There HAD to be a better room someplace else. Lavatories are

tight spaces to begin with - I don't see how they found floor space to set up tables and chairs. Even a hallway would have been better than this.

[redqueen]

23. Then I am just going to consider this a joke.

I hope it turns out that it is... cause damn.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

16. Updated caption under photo. :-D

Updated 8:53 p.m. with a statement from Sen. Clinton's campaign: "These accommodations should in no way be taken as a commentary on the quality of our media coverage," said Clinton spokesman Doug Hattaway.

[FVZA_Colonel]

17. Honestly, her campaign has been one of the worst I've seen in my admittedly short

time on this Earth.


And that's a damn shame, considering how strong of a candidate she really is. She is not my cup of tea, but I still admire and respect her, and her advisors have consistently given her the wrong advice on how to "market" herself to prospective Democratic voters.

[LiberalAndProud]

18. Maybe she doesn't like them. This can't be a good sign for her.

[yourguide]

21. Yeah, this means she thinks she has pulled out a couple of victories.

I am gonna laugh my ass off if the numbers do what they have been doing and obama keeps outperforming the pollsters by 6%-14%.

[JimGinPA]

19. Well, As Much As I Dislike Hillary, That's Kind Of Apropos

:rofl:

[hedgehog]

24. An update

Karen Tumulty:
KT here--

They have also brought in food and a television. One of the most famous names in journalism just used the facilities, and the sound of the flush was so loud it startled everyone.

As I noted above, it must be wonderful for the women involved!

[frylock]

36. they have also brought in food..

:puke:

[hedgehog]

25. Another picture

[NashVegas]

38. That's the Largest Men's Room I've Ever Seen!

It's huge. Huger than Hugh.

[Lucinda]

39. I had the same thought!

[damntexdem]

26. File from there and ... you're-in-all the papers?

I'm sure that this strategy will just be flush with success.

;-)

[damntexdem]

27. Hey, at least I'm glad that the Hillary campaign is so sensitive to ...

female members of the press corps. ;-)

[DS1]

28. She Katrina'd the press corps

Outstanding!

:eyes:

[DS1]

29. Let them eat (urinal) cake

[Georgie_92]

33. Unbelievable!

[cali]

34. Now that's batshit insane

way to get bad press, Hillary.

[Seabiscuit]

35. F the press corps ... they deserve a hard assignment once in a while. nt

[VolcanoJen]

37. MSNBC just showed the video from the Clinton Tidy-Bowl Press Room!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
