What's the name of the Clinton staffer who talked to the Canadians about NAFTA?

[Lucinda]

Anyone know?

[Dogmudgeon]

1. Barack Obama?

:spank:

--p!

[Lucinda]

2. LOL

[papau]

12. LOL - well said - the speaker - Mr Brodie - said he never referred to Hillary - but the smears/lies

on DU - and Countdown - are not stopped by lack of evidence.

[Lucinda]

18. KO is a believer, and MSNBC has been hitting Obama for days so

I'm thinking he just couldn't help running with it.

[Dogmudgeon]

36. I love KO. But he's extremely vain. It's his Achilles' Heel.

MOST pundits are EXTREMELY vain.

And Hillary is playing off of that.

--p!

[DURHAM D]

3. That is what Hillary has been asking the media and the Canadians.

We are all waiting.






Still waiting.






Still fucking waiting.

[Lucinda]

8. Yup.

Which is why I was surprised to hear KO was running with the story.

[anamandujano]

23. That's kind of sad.

[Lucinda]

28. I think he believes in Obama and is just frustrated.

But it doesn't excuse it.

[maddiejoan]

4. Dudley Dooright?

[Lucinda]

9. I love those cartoons.

Soooooo campy. :rofl:

[zabet]

5. Maybe it was.....

Obamarosa. }(

[Lucinda]

13. LOL

[AngryAmish]

6. Beef Supreme?

[Lucinda]

11. I like long haired fellas

but that's scary!

[DemzRock]

7. This thread is hysterical.... Barack? Dudley Dooright? Very good! n/t

[jillan]

10. I hear crickets.

[KittyWampus]

15. it's the Clintons who decided to push the story. Now we find it was her camp that started

it and you can't even eat crow.

Don't blame you.

[Lucinda]

19. NAME THE STAFFER.

[anamandujano]

26. Or, produce the memo.

[Windy]

45. Jim Blanchard, former gov of Michigan and Clinton appointed ambassador to CA.

You think people are going to stand by and permit your candidate from winning this election by channeling karl rove?

Not going to happen. She has opened the door...

[Lucinda]

48. Where is he being named by the Candians and whats his role in Clintons campaign?

[Lucinda]

16. Big HUNGRY crickets.

[KittyWampus]

14. Mark Penn? Want to bet they colluded? Or do you think the timing was just meaningless coincidence?

[Lucinda]

17. Where is Penn named by the Canadians?

[IsItJustMe]

20. That would be my bet also.

[Lucinda]

21. Do you have a link to prove it?

[IsItJustMe]

24. Stay tuned. It will be out in the next couple of days.

[Lucinda]

31. This story broke days ago. Everyone has been digging.

I'll be very surprised if there is a "there" there.

[IsItJustMe]

22. I think the answer to your question is this: What is is.

[Lucinda]

25. LOL.. Funny...but nope...the answer to my question will be a NAME.

And then I'll want proof. I'm funny that way. :)

[IsItJustMe]

30. It's coming out. Believe me now or you can believe me later, but I know your gonna believe me.

Don't be in such a hurry. It'sa coming.

[Lucinda]

33. Can your psychic abilities give me the upcomming TN lottery numbers too?

Thanks!

[durrrty libby]

27. Harvey the rabbit

[Lucinda]

35. Hmmm....an invisible rabbit might explain why they can't find the source.

You're probably on to something here!

[MannyGoldstein]

29. Nobody Knows The Name Of The Inventor Of Gunpowder

Therefore, it was never invented.

:eyes:

[Lucinda]

39. This is a weency bit different.

[MannyGoldstein]

51. How?

[Lucinda]

52. You may be fond of a media that doesn't back up its charges

but i'm not. Credit for an invention hardly compares to accusing people without proof.

[robbedvoter]

32. Drudge knows it fer sure....or knows of it,,,or just "it"

[Lucinda]

42. Well if Drudge DID it he'd know of it, or just "it."

:)

[Auntie Bush]

34. I CONFESS!

It was me! Me! Me! Me! I did it!

[Lucinda]

37. I have to confess I thought it might be you.

Did you tape yourself making the call? Can I turn you in? I could use the money. :)

[Auntie Bush]

54. Sorry I forgot...I called 3:00 in the morning.

:)

[Lucinda]

55. Well...of course you did!

:rofl:

[canadian_is_cold]

38. All he said was...

"someone" from (Hillary) Clinton's campaign is telling the embassy to take it with a grain of salt. . . That someone called us and told us not to worry.

Later stories say it was a "High level" Clinton staffer. Truth is we won't know until the investigation is finished... The PM is trying very hard to cover his a** on this one...

[Lucinda]

40. I would assume the person who took the call would have a name of who they talked to.

Shouldn't be that hard to find. It's been days.
It's sucks that this has become a problem in Canada though.

[thevoiceofreason]

41. I'm bookmarking to shove this one down your throat once he/she is revealed.

[Lucinda]

43. Thats fine with me. If she did something wrong I wanna know about it.

[Windy]

44. There is an article that I read somewhere online today that said that it was Jim Blanchard

former michigan governor and clinton appointed ambassador to Canada

http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/canada_us/mission_was...

Michael Wilson
Mission: Washington

CBC News Online | February 17, 2006


Jim Blanchard, Washington's ambassador to Canada under former president Bill Clinton, called Wilson the quintessential Canadian: thoughtful, reserved but very strong. He said Harper "hit a home run" by appointing Wilson.

"Michael Wilson comes to with extensive experience in dealing with the U.S. government and in dealing with the diplomatic issues. He will hit the ground running."

Blanchard expects doors to open for Wilson while he's in Washington. He knows a lot of key people from the presidency of Bush's father.

Wilson may be carrying a little baggage into Washington. He's expressed support for the U.S. war in Iraq and said Canada should have helped out — at least with equipment and supplies. But even that hasn't seemed to have been much of a problem: even interim Liberal Leader Bill Graham called Wilson a good choice for the job.

[Lucinda]

47. Your link doesn't work.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

46. there isn't one

[anigbrowl]

49. My Guess: Gene Sperling

http://www.cfr.org/bios/9151/gene_b_sperling.html

[Lucinda]

50. He would be a logical choice, but I'd think they would know his name and not stick

with "someone"

[Nine]

53. Ha ha! Is it a guessing game now?

Maybe they never had a name. Maybe Clinton's people make phone calls like telemarketers and don't actually give their names, but just say, "Hi! I'm calling from the Clinton Campaign. Can you spare just a moment to discuss an important issue regarding trade policy?" And then the Canadians get all mad cuz they're right in the middle of a big plate of poutine, eh? :)

[Lucinda]

56. That would certainly explain the anger.

You might be on to something. :thumbsup:

[Lucinda]

57. And the answer is: NO ONE!

:)
