Katie Couric on CBS News tonight just talked about the Hillary quote..."just screw 'em" in the '90's
At a meeting in Camp David in '95 about how to woo white, working-class voters, Hillary apparently told Bill...'just screw 'em, you don't need them...'

I'm paraphrasing a bit cause it was on the news. Jeff Greenfield and Katie were talking about that quote. How come I just now heard it for the first time on CBS tonight? How come no one else is talking about this? Her quote is far more damaging than anything Barack said. We really need to try to get the word out. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

3. Do we really want to argue about relevancy? Bittergate? Flag lapel pins? radicals FROM THE SIXTIES?

7. It's relevant because she's masquerading as the champion of the working poor.
It reveals her true feelings.

23. LOL, and what she learned is the big problem don't you see?

25. While Barack has to answer for other people who were militant radicals when he was 8 years old.
Yeah, that's fair. :eyes:

8. it's only relevant because she brought it up

27. Hillary herself admitted she has bagage,
If she wants to make the issues out of baggage, then we're happy to thoroughly inspect hers. :evilgrin:

10. It made into a book vetted by lawyers and Clintons don't even deny it. WITNESSES recounted
the story - witnesses who ATTENDED the meeting.

5. I saw a link to a story about it on here within the past few days
but this exposure on network nightly news is surprising.

I can't stand Couric but CBS' hiring of Jeff Greenfield and Joe Trippi as
political analysts is encouraging. Maybe the house of Cronkite is trying
to reinvent itself?

I give up on human nature.
