Clinton invokes legend of Montana female trailblazer
Hillary Rodham Clinton is hoping to channel the legend of Montana's female trailblazer who in 1916 became the first woman ever elected to Congress.
...
Clinton gave another nod to her status as the only female candidate in the field. She said it takes her much longer to prepare for a day on the campaign trail than her opponents. She said, "I think I should get points for what I do, plus having to spend so much time getting ready."
Getting points for getting ready? Is she a candidate or a ditzy star talking to a tabloid?

Hillary Clinton's Self-Swiftboating into Irrelevance
As the New York Times put it: "In what proved to be an awkward juxtaposition, the disclosure of the records — which revealed the Clintons to be in the top one-hundredth of 1 percent, or roughly 14,500, of all taxpayers — came on the day that Mrs. Clinton called for the creation of a cabinet-level post to tackle poverty."
As understatements go, awkward, indeed. But at least that wretched insult publicly overpowered, for the moment, the wretched insult of delaying, once again, the release of her 2007 returns. And as we know, the Clintons live for nothing more than the moment. Lord, just get us through one more day. We'll deal with today's backlash in defense of yesterday tomorrow.
But, oops, what did tomorrow bring, which today would be yesterday? You got it. Another scandal.
Hillary, it seems, has been fibbing again. According to the New York Times,
That abomination speaks for itself. As does this one, which is to say, yet another one from merely the past couple days:For five weeks Hillary has featured in her campaign stump speeches the
story of a health care horror: an uninsured pregnant woman who lost her baby and died herself after being denied care by an Ohio hospital because she could not
come up with a $100 fee. The woman, Trina Bachtel, did die last August, two
weeks after her baby boy was stillborn at O’Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens,
Ohio. But hospital administrators said Friday that Ms. Bachtel was under the
care of an obstetrics practice affiliated with the hospital, that she was never
refused treatment and that she was, in fact, insured. "We implore the Clinton
campaign to immediately desist from repeating this story," said Rick Castrop,
chief executive officer of the O’Bleness Health System. Linda M. Weiss, a
spokeswoman for the not-for-profit hospital, said the Clinton campaign had never
contacted the hospital to check the accuracy of the story.
Mark Penn, chief campaign strategist to the New York senator, has apologized
for meeting with Colombia's U.S. ambassador in his separate role as a lobbyist
hired by the South American country to win congressional approval of [a] trade
deal with the United States [that his candidate opposes].
I wonder if secretly Hillary still checks the fridge for errant strawberries when her hired help leaves.
Hillary's Great Story A Lie
Over the last five weeks, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York has featured in her campaign stump speeches the story of a health care horror: an uninsured pregnant woman who lost her baby and died herself after being denied care by an Ohio hospital because she could not come up with a $100 fee.
The woman, Trina Bachtel, did die last August, two weeks after her baby boy was stillborn at O’Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio. But hospital administrators said Friday that Ms. Bachtel was under the care of an obstetrics practice affiliated with the hospital, that she was never refused treatment and that she was, in fact, insured.
“We implore the Clinton campaign to immediately desist from repeating this story,” said Rick Castrop, chief executive officer of the O’Bleness Health System.
Linda M. Weiss, a spokeswoman for the not-for-profit hospital, said the Clinton campaign had never contacted the hospital to check the accuracy of the story, which Mrs. Clinton had first heard from a Meigs County, Ohio, sheriff’s deputy in late February.
I think the really terrible thing about this story is that she forgot to mention the snipers in Athen's, a dangerous place for her because of the Greek separatists that threatened Chelsea if then President Clinton didn't give free pot to everybody in Meigs County. The Clinton campaign did not return calls from Heaven and Hell where Hillary is personally negotiating pardons for friends and family.

Selfish Charity For Political Gain
Clintons Made $109 Million in Last 8 Years
During that time, the Clintons paid $33.8 million in federal taxes and claimed deductions for $10.2 million in charitable contributions. The contributions went to a family foundation run by the Clintons that has given away only about half of the money they put into it, and most of that was last year, after Mrs. Clinton declared her candidacy.
Might Bill and Hill be a tad narcissistic?
Speaking to a statewide convention of North Dakota Democrats in Grand Forks on Friday, Mrs. Clinton criticized the Bush administration’s tax cuts, which she said favored the rich, then referred to the tax data she and her husband released earlier in the day.
“Now don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against rich people,” she said. “As a matter of fact, my husband, much to my surprise and his, has made a lot of money since he left the White House, by doing what he loves doing most — talking to people. But we didn’t ask for George Bush’s tax cuts. We didn’t want them, and we didn’t need them.”
Maybe if you and little Billy gave your tax cut to a real charity or spent it on goods and services you'd be able to grasp the concept that maybe you don't need your tax cut, but there are a lot of small business and individuals that do and want you to get them, even against your will.
My, oh my, being a couple who much to their surprise have made a lot of money makes it so tiresome to deal with the little people and their wearisome demands. Jeeves, bring me an ashtray or a lamp, I feel the need to speak with William.

Boutique Gas In Iraq?
Deeper in Nana's threat was this gem of green economic realism:
"The stretch and strain on our military is like never before," said Skelton. "I am terribly worried about this."
Underscoring the Democrats’ economic points, Pelosi asked why the U.S. military in Iraq and Americans back home are paying more for gasoline than the Iraqis are.
“Our troops in Iraq are paying about $3.25 a gallon for gas in Iraq, comparable to what we pay here, while the Iraqis are paying $1.36 a gallon,” Pelosi said. “This is a raw deal for the American taxpayer.”
While this fact is unacceptable there is a solution. Boutique fuels. I say most of Baghdad must have sweet smelling gas fumes that would never think of polluting a single terrorist while areas in which Sadr has his forces the gas fumes must pollute and smell like Sadr's left hand. It's kind of like the difference between Cleveland and Berkeley only smaller.
Other cities in Iraq can summon up their best smarm and demand sweeter fuel in different mixtures that will make their babies stronger (because it is really all about the children unless they become loggers in which case the Hell with them) and saving Mother Earth from capitalist running dog pig Republicans.
You go Nana. You're on this like white on rice.
Republicans Are Racists
John Legend: I think America is ready to elect Barack. It's not insert-any-black-man-here and they would vote for him, but Barack is a unique and special person. And so I don't really like the question of "is America ready for a black president?" because it's more about the specific individual. And the thing is, the people who wouldn't vote for a person because they're black wouldn't vote for a democrat anyway.
This proto-black thinking flies directly in the face of the diversity leftists and blacks tell us they desire. Republicans are not racist, but we are told whitey won't vote black. How long until this is stated in white face while doing a countryclub shuffle to country music?

Randi Rhodes - Hillary & Geraldine Haven't Spent Time With Eliot 'Black Socks' Spitzer and Stabenow
appears that the lovely and vivacious Randi Rhodes of Air (Err) America mugged herself this time. It hasn't been enough for her to lie about being attacked, nor was it thrilling enough to ask that President Bush be shot, now she has attacked Former First Lady Hillary Clinton and former vice presidential candidate, Geraldine Ferraro because they aren't messiah enough for her nation.Pelosi Proves She Is Dumber Than A Box Of Rocks - II

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) warned Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker on Thursday “not to put a shine on recent events” in Iraq when they testify before Congress next week.
This (Ain't Hell) Is Funny
Conservatives Aren't Smart Enough To Bar Barr
Republican campaign pros said a Barr bid could range from causing them some damage all the way to being the equivalent of Ross Perot's 1992 presidential bid, which many Republicans think split their party's voters, unseating then-President Bush and electing Democrat Bill Clinton.
I am so sick of arrogant conservatives acting like little Kennedys who think they're smarter than anyone else. The one man/one vote two party system has kept America strong, but these clowns want us to be an Italian Camelot with a party and platform for every naive person who is too lazy to work within the Republican Party to make changes. Maybe some of these people might remember a fellow named Ronald Reagan or another guy named Newt Gingrich. Jack Kemp might come to mind. Ever hear of Vin Weber?
Oh, that's right, it isn't about money. It's about political purity and the American way.
You people are setting up our failure by electing an Obama or a Hillary and don't give me the we win by losing. We win by winning and we lose by losing.
Electing Democrats is losing. Period.

Senate Shutdown?
The Democrats are banking on winning the White House and ramming through their liberal judges to advance their agenda which isn't popular enough to win at the ballot box.
This is a classic liberal tactic skulking the halls of congress dressed up as parliamentarianism. It's not. It's their standard arrogance polished up to appear merely as being a bully for the people.
Hey, Harry and Nana, acting like Teddy R won't ever make you Teddy R. You ain't got the big stick nor the ability to speak softly. It's beyond your range. Try bigger pearls on your pig, that might work better.

No Longer The Party Of 'Free' Love
The co-founder and former CEO of the liberal-progressive Democracy Radio and husband of U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow was caught in February by a Troy police sting aimed at catching prostitutes, according to a police report.
Thomas L. Athans was stopped Feb. 26 by undercover officers investigating a possible prostitution ring in a room at the Residence Inn near Big Beaver and Interstate 75. Athans paid a 20-year-old prostitute $150 for sex in a Troy hotel but was not arrested, according to police reports obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by The Detroit News. The police report said officers observed Athans enter a room under surveillance and leave 15 minutes later. Detectives followed and stopped Athans' silver 2002 Cadillac DeVille on Interstate 75 near Square Lake Road.
...
"(Detectives) stop people coming and going and interview them. If they have a cooperative witness, they will use that person to testify against the ring rather than arrest them. That's what happened in this case," Scherlinck said.
Questions:
Why would a nice young lady be with a "kiss and tell" type of guy?
Why is there such a difference in price between NYC/DC and Troy Michigan?
Why would a prostitute work a cheap motel near Big Beaver?
15 minutes???
Why is a power-to-the-people type guy driving a Cadillac DeVille?

Francois Fillon, speaking at the National Assembly amid domestic opposition to a bigger French deployment, said NATO and its allies must stop Afghanistan from again becoming a hub of international terrorism.

Hillary's 34 Years Of Lying VS Obama's New Found Skills
It appears that Hillary has a long history of being a liar and a conniver to either get what she wants or is told to get by her betters. She went from a Goldwater Girl to a gold digger girl at the speed of ambition.
Watergate-Era Judiciary Chief of Staff: Hillary Clinton Fired For Lies, Unethical Behavior
Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.
Why?
“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
Common thieves
One of the most forceful criticisms of the Clintons was by President Carter’s former Chief of Staff, Hamilton Jordan. On February 21, 2001 Jordon published an article in the Wall Street Journal titled The First Grifters, stating that in describing the Clintons:
A word comes to mind: grifters -- a term used in the Great Depression to describe fast-talking con artists who roamed the countryside, profiting at the expense of the poor and the uneducated, always one step ahead of the law, moving on before they were held accountable for their schemes and half-truths.
Wow! What a choice we have for our country. Hillary who loves only herself or Obama who agreed to cut Wright loose if Wright's message of hate became known.
MATTHEWS: Yes, well, let me show you what the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the man we‘re looking at right now, Reverend, said to “The New York Times” last year. He, like, gave political advice to his friend, Barack Obama. Quote, “If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me. I said it to Barack personally, and he said, yes, that might have to happen.”
So they apparently had a conversation, according to Reverend Jeremiah Wright, where they both agreed they had to separate ways, disconnect their connections. So they saw the political hazard ahead, and yet they did not make the move. In other words, Barack Obama was warned that the radical statements which he was warned about firsthand by the minister would cause him trouble politically, which they are doing this weekend right as we speak, and he failed to separate himself. What does that tell you about his political judgment?
Two despicable people vying to be the leader of a country that is good and strives to be better each day.

Saddam's 'useful idiot' Owes Boehner $1 Million
A federal judge says House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, can collect more than $1 million in his lawsuit against Democratic Rep. Jim McDermott of Washington state.
The decision was issued in a decade-long dispute over an illegally taped telephone call. In the 1996 call, Republican leaders discussed an ethics case against then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga. A Florida couple recorded the cell phone call on a radio scanner and McDermott leaked the tape to two newspapers.
Boehner sued and a federal court found that McDermott had no right to release the calls. The Supreme Court decided in December not to revisit the case.
McDermott called the court fight with Boehner “a long and costly battle,” but said the million-dollar judgment was “a small price to pay in defense of so fundamental a principle, and freedom, as the First Amendment.”
Because of the protracted legal challenge, “the First Amendment is stronger today, and shielded by new case law that will buttress its capacity to protect the publication of truthful information on matters of public importance long into the future,” McDermott said in a statement Tuesday. “ Knowing this, I am proud of my role in defense of the First Amendment.”
Yes, McDermott must be proud in his role as defender of the First Amendment after he so rigorously defended his boss, Saddam's, right to say he was going to wage the Mother of All Battles against the evil United States of America. Or maybe he was just defending his right to speak as a useful idiot of Saddam.
“The President of the United States will lie to the American people in order to get us into this war.”
McDermott has done so much damage to this country it is hard to calculate. It is easy to calculate how much money McDermott will personally pay Congressman John Boehner because the Left's and McDermott's useful idiots will foot the bill.
Clinton Rocky Without The Appeal
John McCain For President
From Instapundit.
THE IMPACT OF VIRAL MEDIA: An email from a former student of mine in the UK:
It has been a long time since I e-mailed you.Anyway, my wife and I have been living in the UK since early 2000 and have been experiencing the US political scene from a distance since then. I watched the anti-Obama videos you linked today with some interest. I have always been a conservative so I would not vote for the Democractic nominee in any event, but I haven't been an enthusiastic McCain guy. He seemed too much like Bob Dole the Sequel to me. He came to London and I could have met him, but I couldn't be bothered at the time even though I deeply respect the sacrifices he made during his captivity.
Now I have watched Obama's commercial to "slow down" the development of weapon's programmes and more importantly saw the "Man in the Arena" ad linked on YouTube. I have to say that now I am a convert. I am not like the fake Republicans that the NY Times seems to find that support whatever liberal agenda the Times is pushing at the moment. There is a lot I would not like about a McCain Presidency. On the other hand, I love my country and, notwithstanding what Mickey Kaus thinks about having a president with dark skin somehow deterring a potential terrorist, it does us no good if Obama throws away our real defences. I can never see Obama saying or even thinking that "Do not flinch. Stand Up. We're Americans and we will never surrender. They will." That is the most important issue for me. It must trump all others.
I must say that now I will have to donate to the McCain campaign. I was going to sit this election out (except for voting), but now I see I need to do everything I can to help. I am a father. How could I not do as much as I can to make the world safe for my little girl? Anything less is negligent.
That one commercial made me a reluctant convert to the McCain campaign.
McCain has to hope that this will happen a lot between now and November.
