*Sigh* - I was afraid of this.
Edited on Sun May-25-08 10:35 AM by Liberal Veteran
I knew that if Obama stayed true to himself and was classy about the whole Assassin(ine) comment by Clinton, she and her Hivebots would pounce on it to blame someone else for her gaffe and play the victim card once again.

She is starting to remind of me of George W. Bush in her singleminded "I can do no wrong and if anything goes wrong it's someone else's fault" mentality.

ON EDIT:

HRC's new theme song:

You made a fool of me
But them broken dreams have got to end
Hey woman you got the blues
Cause you ain't got no one else to use
There's an open road that leads no where
So just make some miles between here and there
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha, ha woman, it's a crying shame
But you ain't got nobody else to blame

Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman

Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hot to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze
Ha ha woman
What you gonna do
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It's so good that you're feelin' pain
But you better get your face board the very next train
(repeat chorus)

Evil woman how you done me wrong
But now you're to wail a different song
Ha, ha funny how you broke me up
]You made the wine now you drink a cup
I come runnin' every time you cried
I thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes
Ha, ha very nice to know
That you ain't got no place left to go
(repeat chorus)

1. She can't get away with playing the victim this time--and she isn't.

3. Nobody is buying it but her supporters
Also by talking about it she's put it in the news cycle again. She has no political ear. She should of either sincerely apologized or kept her trap shut.

10. I don't understand your clip, beezlebum.
What's going on? Does Obama have dandruff? Or does that gesture have some hidden meaning?

7. Maureen Dowd pointed out on Meet the Press that she did the same thing during Hillarycare...
October 1995 New York Times Op Ed

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=990CE1DC1F3BF93AA25753C1A963958260

On a Latin American trip, she told reporters that the criticism of her lead role on health care, politics and policy was not really about performance. As Ann Devroy reported in The Washington Post, Mrs. Clinton sees the criticism more as an attack on her 20-year partnership with her husband because some Americans find it "threatening."

"The criticism is clearly meant to try to demean and divide men and women," she said. "You know, 'Know your place, know where you are supposed to be,' that is something I wish we could overcome. I mean, judge people on their merits. You don't like my health-care plan, criticize my health plan. But don't turn it into some huge attack on the role."

Mrs. Clinton made the same argument after "her" health-care plan died. "A friend told me I've turned into a gender Rorschach test," she told The Wall Street Journal last year. "If somebody has a female boss for the first time, and they've never experienced that -- well, maybe they can't take out their hostility against her so they turn it on me."

If Mrs. Clinton wishes to play a prominent role in the political life of the country, then she must be willing to take the scrutiny that goes along with it. She is too sophisticated to argue that criticism comes simply because she is a woman.

8. Those with weak character do not accept responsibility for mistakes.
Hillary is a good example.

We deserve better leadership and we demand it.

20. I never thought I would say this, but it reminds me a little of the chimp.
I'm detecting the same megalamania, the same inability to take responsibility for mistakes, the same tendency to blame others. That's so sad to see in a Democrat.

17. it reminded me of the Bosnia "apology"
"I'm human, which, you know, is a REVELATION to some people!"


Shame on me, Hillary Clinton!

21. I'm still trying to understand the logic here
"If somebody has a female boss for the first time, and they've never experienced that -- well, maybe they can't take out their hostility against her so they turn it on me."

:rofl:

22. It is deeply philosophical, and I predict that hours of medititation may be
still insufficient.

13. Interesting how the newspaper she said this to complained that
her comment was being taken out of context, but I guess that people who were actually there don't matter.

16. She's too dumb to be evil
hence her ill-run campaign and her constant flip-flopping between "strong woman" and "poor little innocent victim of the press".

24. And if he had just maintained complete silence....
they would have said that he was fueling speculation by refusing to talk about it. Or that he was being arrogant, or who knows what.

He can do nothing right, for some people.
