My rant after witnessing a dem endorse a repug today: Does Anyone Want This Nut Answering The Phone?

[caligirl]

From a column at Huffingtonpost




http://www.huffingtonpost.com/larry-david/on-the-red-phone_b_90338.html


She just disqualified herself for the nomination. Hillary Clinton telling the world she prefers McCain to Obama.

Hillary is seriously sick!!

Knowing this, about Hillary I can see Bill running to Monica and all the others, America may be in the mood to forgive Bill after this latest shocker from the lowest of the low in Hillary.

[Tarheel_Dem]

1. could not agree more!!!

and I love your collage. How do we now differentiate between Hill & McCain? They seem to both be using the same playbook.

[caligirl]

4. Does Hillary think the dems will follow her to the repug party? Sybil oh Sybil!

The collage was from the huffpo site. thanks anyway.

[Tarheel_Dem]

40. I'm sure it won't be a big leap for some of her supporters....

they seem to be "right leaning" anyway. You can feel the contempt in some of their posts, they absolutely despise the netroots activists in the party. Perhaps she could pull a Joe Liebermann, and her supporters could follow?

[SeattleGirl]

2. That pissed me off more than I can say.

I have admired Hilary for a long time, but this was a deal breaker for me.

I know she wants to beat out Obama for the nomination, and that's fine. But praising McLame? Sorry, Hil, but I think you have jumped the proverbial shark with that one.

[caligirl]

3. And those are the comments across the country tonight, including

those New Yorkers who held fund raisers for her. Someone at Kos posted about three ladies at a Broadway show early tonight sitting in seats in front of him, one held a Manhattan fund raiser for her in her apartment and she and the other two said Hillary had gone to far. They no longer like her politics or her.


Well a small piece of Hillary's demographic (11+ / 0-)

has taken notice and do not approve.

I was sitting in a Broadway theater this evening for a "serious" bit of entertainment and there were three well-appinted women of a certain age out for the evening together who spent the pre-curtain time in dismay over Hillary's comments praising McCain and dissing Obama. Their comments included these snippets:

* "what could she possibly be thinking?"
* "her campaign gets more appalling every day"
* "... and to think I had a fund raiser in my apartment for her when she was running for Senate!"
* "she is doing such damage; it must be stopped"


But my personal favorite is some gossipy story one of the three women told of a Manhattan party that she had attended with a group of notables which included Ted Sorenson. She said that some Clinton advocate (I couldn't quite make out the name) who also attended the party made a huge gaffe by accosting Mr. Sorenson and screaming "traitor" to his face. The Clinton "surrogate" was shown the door by the party's hostess.

I must say it was a very satisfying Manhattan eavesdropping experience.

It might be suggested from this that the Clintons are even willing to burn bridges with their sources of money for this nomination.

31. What a shame. What in hell happened to Hillary.

I mean, damn, I know she thinks this is her time, but to what extent is she willing to destroy the party.

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. That is such a great picture!

[caligirl]

7. and isn't it just perfect for today. Hillary loves Bomb Bomb McCain

[jillan]

6. Omg - I cannot believe how disgusting some of you are.

Are you hoping for Monica to reappear?
And you say Hillary is sick????

[caligirl]

9. hey I've seen the shit you post. This is a Hillary rant so scram.You love McCain too? Iran is next.

[ExtraGriz]

18. the democratic party is so fucked

we're going to lose the general election.

[Horse with no Name]

43. More lies from the obama camp

they have learned well from their master Rove about how to keep repeating lies until they are perceived as truths.

[cbayer]

8. Are you kidding?

"Knowing this, about Hillary I can see Bill running to Monica and all the others"

This isn't junior high school. Or is it?

[caligirl]

10. Hillary is as unsympathetic to millions of Americans tonight as she can get. So bad

that America may feel badly for the guy living with her. A democratic candidate just endorsed McBush over a fellow democratic candidate. Are YOU kidding?

14. Yeah you can vote for Hillary as McCain's VP then. That should thrill you.

[cali]

33. The is not the RIGHT place for the likes of YOU

Freeperville is just up your dirty little alley. And McCain is a fucking wingnut war monger. Now, scram.

[jakem]

36. hey there trolley McTrollerson-

i was going to welcome you to DU, until you opened your mounth.

[Me.]

39. 10, 9, 8...

:popcorn:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

52. Bullshit.

With the exception of a few positions. McCrazy is as hard right as they come.

[Me.]

56. RIP Freep

Thanks admin/mods for putting another creep underground

[Bigleaf]

13. I'm sure when he becomes President Obama can get her the job as operator in the

White House complete with her own custom red phone.

[IndianaGreen]

15. Hillary should be ambassador to Iraq

She and Bill can live in that billion dollar embassy KBR is building in Baghdad.

[caligirl]

20. and the donors to Bills Library can shuttle her to teas in India.

[BigDDem]

47. The one that BO keeps funding?

[caligirl]

17. One ringy dingy to the old folks at Rose Law Firm. Two to Jackson Stephens, three to Mark Penn.

[City Lights]

38. LOL! I was just about to post a "ringy dingy" comment when I saw yours!

:rofl:

[Oilwellian]

16. McClinton looks like I feel in this pic

[caligirl]

19. What an un dead look.

[Liquorice]

24. This is how Obama reacts when he sees the way

some of his supporters behave:

[Window]

32. Acting ugly takes a toll.

[emilyg]

21. The minute you mentioned Monica

you lost me.

[Neshanic]

22. She plays to win. I want a president like that.

[FrenchieCat]

23. You can have her......

and y'all can move to Twilight zone, where Republicans are Democrats and Democrats are Republicans.

Here on earth, we really don't need that Lieberman type.

[BigDDem]

48. Hmmm, some people seem to love him...

"I am absolutely certain Connecticut is going to have the good sense to send Joe Lieberman back to the U.S. Senate so he can continue to serve on our behalf."

[Jamastiene]

25. Check this one out.

[krkaufman]

26. ha!! that's the same thing I posted over on Kos.

... that someone needed to do an ad demonstrating Hillary's latest wild-eyed antics and then ask if this is the temperament we want responding to a crisis situation?

Specifically, though, my post mentioned using the "NAFTAgate" issue. It likely would have been a non-issue had Hillary not blindly run with the misinformation supplied by a Right Wing government and a Right Wing media source.

But now, because of Hillary's intemperate and uninformed response, the government of our neighbors to the North is in turmoil, and the leadership may even be in danger of removal.

Is this the temperament and judgment we want responding to an actual crisis? Hell, she'd probably be too busy quieting down the last crisis she'd managed to rant her way into.

[rodeodance]

28. Obamabots going in circles--all chatting like a choir.

[krkaufman]

30. Ah, the intemperance. I'm beginning to understand ...

... the affinity with your candidate.

Peas.

[LVjinx]

27. 25% Clinton supporters and growing prefer McCain to Obama. So what?

[Window]

29. The many faces of Hillary.

She has definitely gone too far.


:kick:

[TwilightGardener]

34. Word. I think she's unstable.

[bigtree]

35. After Obama endorsed the presidency of Reagan, I though he'd jumped parties

got him a lot of republican votes in OUR primaries, though

[Seeker30]

37. He would jump parties if he thought it would help

and all these Obamabots would follow.

[Tarheel_Dem]

44. This "Obamabot" is in complete agreement....

Hillary and her ilk do not speak to or for me. Either way, the Republicans get their wish, the Democratic Party will be left in shambles no matter what. And we can thank the Clintons for that.

[RunningFromCongress]

41. Oh please! Twist those words around a little more

[burythehatchet]

45. I think Bigtree's brain is actually shaped like a pretzel

delusional is too weak a characterization.

[blm]

54. Reagan's WETDREAM: "The era of Big Government is Over." declared by a Dem president.

Bill Clinton ACCEPTED Reagan's governing PHILOSOPHY and told the country that is the way it was going to be for both parties.

Clinton gave Ronnie Reagan the biggest gardon he ever had that night.

Save your faux outrage for the words you twist to blame Obama. Pitiful that someone like you would hang your hat on twisted words and feign outrage when you know damn well that Clinton ACCEPTED Reagan's philosophy and did so in the most PUBLIC WAY POSSIBLE.

46. Next time I need Larry David's opinion on politics, I'll contact you CaliGirl. We all love Larry's

work but do we want him making the decision who answers the red phone? Why don't you decide for yourself...which I'm sure you have.

BTW, nice article on the same page about Natalie Portman's support of Hillary. Once again, another person who is blown away by how smart, competent and decisive Hillary is.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

49. Hillary HAS disqualified herself. She's done more damage to our party than any Rethug could ever do

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

50. The many faces of Eve. n/t

[Medusa]

51. She's a lot of things but nut isn't one of them. Shrewd & Calculating

that's her. She knows there is no way in hell she's going to be able to steal this nomination from Obama. And if she can't have it, then NO Democrat will. Some of you seem to be laboring under the delusion that Hillary is pro-Democrat. She's not. She's pro-Hillary. It's all about what QUEEN Hillary wants--and she has her sights set on that Oval Office. And she doesn't care how she gets there. And if she can't get there--and this year she cannot-she will take the Scarlett O'Hara route (lie, cheat, steal, kill(?)) to get there. And in this case it's the candidacy of Obama she is trying to kill. Sets her up for a 2012 run don't you know. That's what this is really all about. And she'll listen to absolutely no one who would urge her to stop--because her blind, ruthless ambition trumps everything else, party loyalty, common sense, human decency. THAT my friends is the REAL Hillary Clinton.

[NDambi]

53. I love Larry David...he hit the nut on the head with the nail..lol

[BigDDem]

55. Please provide the link where Hillary endorsed McCain

Thanks!!!
