Photo of Hillary with new buddy - Richard Mellon Scaife, who accused her of murdering Vince Foster

[jefferson_dem]

What will Hillary NOT do in her selfish POTUS quest?


Hell Has Officially Frozen Over



It caught my eye as a flash on Brit Hume a few moments ago, but here is a photo from Hillary Clinton's visit today to the editorial board of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. In this picture, she is seen talking to none other than Richard Mellon Scaife, the owner of the paper and the man who once said that the death of Vincent Foster was the "Rosetta stone" of the Bill Clinton administration. (He also funded the so-called "Arkansas Project" at The American Spectator.) We've heard reports of a rapprochement between Scaife and the Clintons of late, and the Pennsylvania primary is fast approaching, but this is still a pretty striking picture.

1. So she is buddying up with the person who claimed she and her husband had someone killed just to win

wow. That says a lot about her character (or lack thereof)

[PM7nj]

2. I guess she got tired of fighting the vast right wing conspiracy

so she joined them.

[ClassWarrior]

54. If you can't beat 'em?...

NGU.

[workinclasszero]

82. The DLC and the reich wing

Together forever!:puke:

When will the democrat party repudiate these DLC right wing moles that are trying to turn the party into Bush/Rove Rethug Lite?:mad:

[polichick]

3. Yikes - politics DOES make strange bedfellows!

[Lint Head]

4. Hey, Richard Mellon Scaife, you are a coward and a liar.

Why is Hillary wasting her time with this vermin?:dem:

[Carolina]

59. vermin with vermin

[Oceansaway]

5. desparation does funny crap ..

to some people...

[rwheeler31]

6. How sad

[eleny]

7. Keith and Rachel were just takling about this!

Amazing bed fellows, huh? I mean Clinton and Scaife.

But, hey - Scaife is only human!!! :evilgrin:

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. Credibility is in question

on both sides of the table.

[eissa]

9. Read last month's Vanity Fair

The guy is going through (another) divorce (he was caught with his mistress.) I guess he's developed a bit of a soft spot now and has met a couple of times with Bill Clinton, and now even with the person he accused of murder.

[JerseygirlCT]

35. Yes. Apparently Bill started meeting with him about funding for

his (Clinton's) foundation, and they made all nice.

Scaife is slime. Really slimey slime.

I'm all for the power of forgiveness and making peace. But I cannot help but have my cynical meters go into overload at this.

[blm]

10. Wake up to the dog and pony show that was the 90s. All the trumped up 'scandals' and sex obscured

all the serious matters that the media and the bases ignored, like the steady march to fascism.

Clintons were ALWAYS protecting BushInc and the Dems were so busy protecting Clintons from all the little fires that were burning on so many fronts that BushInc was getting away with robbing the banks and setting up their global fascist agenda.

[gateley]

11. Is this for the newspaper's endorsement?

Or is that already a don deal?

I'd love to hear that conversation.

[ecstatic]

12. Well, her best friend McCain insulted her teenage daughter's physical appearance

http://www.salon.com/news/1998/06/25newsb.html

[spotbird]

13. Scaife made a considerable donation

to the Clinton Foundation not too long ago.

[DeSwiss]

14. In politics, there are "strange bedfellows"

...and then there's this.


And this....



And this....



And then worst of all, this.....



Hillary's men. Does she need to draw a clearer picture?


- Excuse me while I go to the bathroom....

K&R

[tabasco]

15. The Clintons have been assimilated.

They are now part of the problem.

[CoffeeCat]

16. They both want the same things...

Neither want Obama as the nominee.

Hillary will align herself with any rabid right winger--in order to get what
she wants.

I can only imagine what the Scaife family of hoodlums and Hillary have planned for
Senator Obama.

To sell herself out like this---to people who clearly laughed their asses off at her--the
second she walked out the door--is yet another pathetic plank in her house of horrors campaign
to nowhere.

[Adelante]

17. This is horrible

What the fuck were we defending all those years? Feh.

[Whisp]

31. just as horrible her playing kissy face with McCain when he said those awful things about Chelsea.

the woman has no integrity.

[madrchsod]

18. according to the headline at huff`s site...this will be over soon

[David Zephyr]

19. "Hillary, you just gotta stop the black man." -- R. Scaife.

All is forgiven.

[dempartisan23]

20. hillary is a right winger

no surprise here.

[KAZ]

26. Maybe she was feeding them the noise. Nah, but the pic is sickening.

[Hutzpa]

21. Yuck!

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:


:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Forkboy]

22. Now if they can get along why can't we?

I love you guys.

[Lucky 13]

53. Damn. If that ain't the truth...

[VolcanoJen]

23. You are freaking kidding me!

"Ready on Day One to Take On the Republican Hit Machine!"

:eyes:

I just finished the Vanity Fair portrait of Scaiffe the other day. Apparently, Hillary didn't read it.

[DemGa]

24. Pathetic of the Obamas as usual -- you don't even know the circumstances

and yet the Obama infiltrated brain is made up.

I heard Bill Clinton once say that he couldn't remember who to hate -- he's just not big on holding grudges by nature. That tells me more about the photo than the tripe I read here. So Hillary doesn't hold hate and you accuse -- face it: anything Hillary does will meet with condemnation by this Obamination.

Pitiful.

[KAZ]

32. Sorry, I hate Scaife.

[DemGa]

36. The man is old -- he knows what he's done

And that's on his conscience. Maybe Hillary forgives him -- then it would take a big person.

[KAZ]

37. Sorry, God or Hillary may forgive, but I'd wring his fucking neck.

Guess I have anger issues. :)

[DemGa]

39. I've spoken of a quality most President's have

They don't hold onto anger. They can get mad as hell in an instant -- but then have the ability to let it go. It has to be that way in politics or it would kill a person.

[KAZ]

43. Good thing I'm not running.

:)

[DemGa]

45. Yeah me too -- my personality type is not cut out for it.

[roguevalley]

47. yeah. Harry Truman would have hugged him. SHeesh.

[Forkboy]

38. LOL

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

51. But don't you see? She's such a "fighter". n/t

[Lucky 13]

52. I think I'm living in Bizarro-world or something.

Let me first say that at least to me, this is a non-issue politically. He's not a felon (yet). He's not currently spewing racial bile. He's not a sex offender. He's a newspaper man. And she can meet with whomever she wants to for whatever reason.

This is more just one of those strange bed-fellows stories that has a lot of long time democrats shocked. Not just "pathetic Obamanation" - (common, can we quit with that already?)

Before this stupid primary ruined our party, I (and many other Obama supporters) defended The Clintons vehemently whenever asshats like Scaife tried his smears. He accused her of MURDER. He tried to RUIN the Clintons - politically, professionally, and personally. HE IS the vast right-wing conspiracy. "Not holding a grudge" is one thing but this is something entirely beyond that. I just don't get it and I'm just SHOCKED. Absolutely shocked.

Again, I don't think this should or will have any effect on the race... it's just fascinating and shocking.

Oh and PS - HOW can you call BILL RICHARDSON "JUDAS" and with in HOURS sit down and meet with Scaife? This IS bizarro world.

[comrade snarky]

56. Really good question!

The hypocrisy of this is stunning.

"HOW can you call BILL RICHARDSON "JUDAS" and with in HOURS sit down and meet with Scaife?"

[ClassWarrior]

61. "HOW can you call BILL RICHARDSON 'JUDAS' and with in HOURS sit down and meet with Scaife?"

Excellent point.

NGU.

[Carolina]

62. yeah, the Clintons and there supporters are indeed PITIFUL!

[damndude]

69. if

i had been called a rapist or child molester i would remember and who said it. if i was called a murder of my adulterous lover who is a very important person in my husband's very important job i would remember and who said it. the fact that conspiracy theorists would go back to vince foster time and time again and used his death the demonize and hillary with it should have been enough for hillary but i guess she is a more magnanimous person than i. i would no forgive and would not forget. this displays her desperation and the depths to which she has sunk. this her monster's ball moment

[sellitman]

70. You havent been paying attention.

You judge ANY future President by their company. If its fair to judge Obama by his Priest then why wouldnt you judge Hillary by the Right Wingers she hangs out? You can't have it both ways. Her prayer group is also Right Wing Fundie nutjobs.

There is a pattern.

[dionysus]

71. defending associations with scaife... classy...

:eyes:

[damndude]

72. does that read like i am defending her associations?

thats is the exact opposite of my intent. i believe she has sunk to whoring her campaign, her reputation and her legacy just to have one more ally to attack her opponent

[dionysus]

73. i was responding to demga, not you

:hi:

[FatDave]

74. Dude, it ain't like the first time

She's been getting really cozy with all kinds of wingnuts lately. Bill too. Talk up your special circumstances all you want, but do it enough and a pattern emerges.

[Botany]

25. Bill went on Rush the day of Ohio & Texas vote

and now this? Hillary would blow a pig on the steps
to the Capital if she thought it would get her the POTUS.

[KAZ]

28. Careful. You have to take real care in how you phrase that..

.. or else the Mad Monkey will yell at you. A stand-in Rush host did an earlier taped interview, and then replayed it while he stood in for Rush. It makes a big difference in Monkey's mind. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, though Rush advertised it on his homepage.

[Botany]

33. Thanx

Bottom line Bill went on Rush's show .... taped or live it don't
matter .... to court the right wing cross over vote. And that vote
give Hillary Ohio & Texas.

To think of all that time I supported the Clintons .... :grr:

[KAZ]

34. Agreed. n/t

[girl gone mad]

27. What won't she do?

The right thing.

[bagimin]

29. As a former Bill and Hillary supporter

I will now PUKE ON MY VAIO.


Is there no lengths to the depths to which....

[Lucky 13]

30. HILLARY SUPPORTERS? Are you out there?

What's your take on this one? I find this absolutely STUNNING.

Let's leave politics out of it for just a moment... I just don't see how anyone could sit down at a table and do an interview with someone who outright called you a murderer. This is arch-nemesis stuff!

WHY? HOW IS SHE OK WITH DOING THIS INTERVIEW?

And WOW, if Richardson is Judas, then what is Scaife? And what allows you to stomach being in the same room with him?

I'm absolutely fucking baffled. Just interested what the Hillary people have to say...

[roguevalley]

48. their take: 1.) she's too big to hold a grudge, 2) a real president

only gets mad for a nano second and then gets over it 3) my take: who is left to support her?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

50. I guess that's what "fighters' do. Somebody drags their family name

through the mud and they go and kiss that person's ass.

[rniel]

75. exactly

Just what McCain did with Bush. Remember the whole "black baby" push polling thing.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

77. Do I ever. It's not even about hating the guy for calling you and

your husband murderers without a shred of evidence. It's about having enough sense not to legitimize a filthy piece of shit publication run by a lunatic.

[Berry Cool]

40. What's next? Dogs and cats living together?

Speaking of dogs, I wonder if Hillary has ever heard that when you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

[Medusa]

41. It's official.

There is no low too low for this woman to stoop to.

[Carrieyazel]

42. In 1998, Dickie Scaife came to the White House and took a pic with Hillary and Bill

Hillary hated him big time back then (understandably), but she didn't have any choice as Scaife was on a list of people who had donated to the White House Preservation Society, or something like that.
Scaife is a demented individual. He smiled at President Clinton and Hillary, made small talk and posed "happily" for a picture. While at the same time, doing everything he could to force them out of the White House. Right after the Monica mess came out.

Weird stuff.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

44. its like Bill going on the Rush Limbaugh show on 3/4/08

and Limbaugh once compared Chelsea to the family dog.

[WillyT]

46. My Precious !!!

:evilgrin:

[jefferson_dem]

49. Precisely.

She's looking more like Gollum every day.

[AlinPA]

55. Amazing. Here in PA, he is known as the strongest republican. Clinton

will never cease to amaze me.

[elleng]

57. DON'T YOU ALL KNOW

THAT ITS PART OF A CANDIDATE'S JOB TO MEET WITH NEWSPAPER EDITORIAL BOARDS?

'a photo from Hillary Clinton's visit today to the editorial board of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review'

SHE'S DOING HER JOB. The rest of the Board is undoubtedly at the table.

[Carolina]

64. some job, what slime they both are

[Beacool]

66. Please, why bother explaining something so simple to them.

They rather wallow in their self righteous indignation (as usual). Scaife is a POS, but he is a newspaper man and was there alongside the rest of the board.

What was she supposed to do, slap him and walk out of the room? Besides, the creep approached Bill a while ago and donated a fair amount of money to his foundation.

[americanstranger]

68. Ah, money. It makes everything cool.

And Carville was ranting about '30 pieces of silver' the other day?

This whole thing is simply beyond belief.

Oh, and I heard that the next piece of slime the Clintons are going to circulate is an anti-Obama story from the American Spectator.

The American Spectator.

There's no slime too slimy when you've got your eye on the prize, I guess.

Help us, Superdelegates! You're our only hope!

- as

[Carolina]

58. she really will stop at nothing

how loathesome.

[totodeinhere]

60. Yes, Hillary, Scaife and Murdoch make quite a trifecta.

[Stephanie]

63. Is Scaife throwing a fundraiser for her too?

She could use the money.

[totodeinhere]

65. Myabe he'll give her a job at his newspaper.

[Chulanowa]

67. What, delivering them?

At the rate she's going, that'll be her prime career option.

[Georgie_92]

76. How anyone can still vote for her is beyond me.

[democracy1st]

78. K&R

interesting

[Perry Logan]

79. As LBJ said, it's better to have them in the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in

[DesEtoiles]

80. kick

[Bolo Boffin]

81. There is a distinct lack of cocktail weenies on that table.

IOW, a distinct lack of conviviality there. Clinton appears to be trying not to look at Scaife, who sits there with an incredulous look on his face.

This is definitely her "meet with Ahmadinejad" moment.

[cooolandrew]

83. To look at in a good light. This guy isa powerful man he is better with us than against us be nice

to scaife I say. And for us Barack suporters too.
