Secretary Clinton On The Job - Updated

(Bumped up from November 7th.)
The current issue of Time Magazine has Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the cover, and an article by Joe Klein entitled, “The State of Hillary: A Mixed Record On The Job.” On Joe Scarborough the other morning, they discussed this article (major H/T to Bronwyn’s Harbor for the video):

How cute is Joe Scarborough calling Secretary Clinton his “girlfriend”?? Repeatedly? Evidently, he has NO idea how much competition he has, does he?
And Scarborough makes a great argument about Hillary Clinton “not going rogue.” Of course she is taking the tack Obama has directed her to take. It is not a surprise that Obama would want her to do the HARD work while he “flying at 40,000 ft”.
Just to be clear on Pakistan, the White House does back Secretary Clinton on what she said there. While it may not be the language Mika wants her to use (and honestly, could Hillary Clinton say anything of which Mika approved? Just asking, in a snarky kind of way.)
Don’t even get me started on the whole election thing, though. Don’t even get me started. Good for JOE for pointing out - AGAIN - that the media played a huge role in how she was treated, as we all know already.
The remarks by General Petraeus were telling, telling indeed. That, along with the relationship she has developed with our military personnel is exactly why I contend she would have gotten to Fort Hood tout suite after the tragedy there. Because she truly cares about those serving in uniform. She, unlike our President, has made that support crystal clear.
Okay. About this “unnamed White House source” crapola. I am referring to the “Unnamed White House sources” who claimed Secretary Clinton had made big mistakes in foreign policy since becoming Secretary of State reminded me of the “Unnamed McCain aides” who made the most outrageous, and false, allegations about Gov. Sarah Palin, including that “she didn’t know Africa was a continent.” That is to say, I just cannot take their claims seriously. Especially when one of those high up in the Obama Administration, Jon Favreau, has demonstrated just how much he respected Hillary Clinton when he posted a photo of himself groping a life-size Hillary Clinton cutout on Facebook. Yeah, right. I’m not buying what they’re selling. I’ve seen plenty from those folks already, and have been singularly unimpressed. Whatever.
Anyway, it was an interesting discussion about Secretary Clinton, the work she is doing, and Joe’s undying love for her. All I can say about that is, join the club, Joe, join the club.
Speaking of Secretary Clinton, Saturday is when she commissions the assault ship, USS New York. There will be video available later, which I will then put up. For more on the USS New York, its 7.5 tons of steel from the World Trade Towers, and the emotions it elicits, please watch the video below:
Very moving, and powerful. Great thanks to those who serve aboard this state of the art vessel, and who sought to serve aboard this ship. The motto of the ship is apt: Strength Forged Through Sacrifice. Never Forget.
They won’t forget, and neither will we.
May this ship and its crew have smooth sailing for years to come.

("This crazy redhead is on to something. Her pink Rambler story alone is worth the price of the book," writes 
- “Richard Sale’s reportage on Washington, the CIA, the American armed forces, and foreign intrigue has created a perfect background for this account of the steady growth of President Clinton as a master of the game of nations.”--W. Patrick Lang, former head of Middle East Operations, DIA
"Anne C. Heller's stunning biography of Ayn Rand" uses a "plethora of newly unearthed research and fresh insight."
Hillary has sold out to the Antichrist, Baraq Hasan. He has carefully placed her in a checkmate-type position where she can do nothing to outshine his brilliance (snark).
Hillary could have used the nuclear option and prevented Baraq Husan from winning the presidency. Instead she was bought for a bag of State Department cookies. She cannot be trusted any longer to serve in a position of authority.
I respectfully disagree: I feel Hillary is in a great position to pick up the pieces when this extreme-left elitist ideologue affirmitive action et al experiment is an utter disaster.
Perhaps. I can’t get over how she never really made an effort to (1) show the American public how much Baraq Hasan’s ACORN/SEIU cronies cheated and intimidated their way to win at the cauci and (2) demand that his eligibility documents be made public like McCain’s were (and I’m not talking about some Hawaiian high priest(ess) going into a Tiki holy of holies and coming out and announcing his/her claim that he/she saw this or that; I want to see what he’s spent millions to hide).
Sorry, I can’t get over this but still respect your loyalty.
I worked as a backgrounder for one of HIllary’s advisors, and the sense that I got from how they repsondend to what I dug up was that they wanted to take the high road. That, in retrospect, was a huge mistake (I am sorry to say because the high road would be the ideal). For example, I sent in screen shots of Rev. Wright’s shocking web site well before it was scrubbed, but they didn’t want to go there.
Nice guys often do finish last.
Mc
KookCain made the same mistake!They needed someone with balz like SARAH!
Can’t WAIT for 2012 - hope I live so long
The MSM had all the information to bury Obama and they refused to go there. They knew about Wright, Auchi, Rezko, Ayers, and Pflegher. They knew about the lack of paper trail on Obama, iffy bc, no college records or papers, and no medical records, and you surely remember-he was the teflon man-nothing seemed to stick. Hillary would have been villified and called all sorts of names, including liar, racist, and poor loser. That man was held in such high esteem by the msm, that all we could hope for was that in time, his total lack of ability would lead them to question all things Obama. I believe that is starting to happen now.
Amen, beachnan. She would have been roasted over a spit for this. For example, she did call him out on Rezko very early in the campaign — what was the response? — the crowd booed her and protected him. The MSM (and whoever pays the bills) was in his pocket and the DNC elders (i.e. Pelosi, Dodd, Franks, Reid) and the rest of the corrupt cabal was riding shotgun for him. Not to mention his three to one money advantage.
It would not have mattered what she did — the narrative was written. He was the historic candidate, she was the scullery maid standing in the way of history. He was above the fray and noble and she was the corporate puppet — meanwhile we now see who the corporate puppet really is.
This is not an ideal situation but I am still appreciative that Hillary has chosen to work as SoS and make an effort to help our country despite all the ridiculous obstacles.
Exactly. I’ve seen some complain because she didn’t fight this out on the convention floor. By that point we knew how That One, Inc. handled all opposition. Does anyone really think that Hillary would have asked her delegates to sacrifice their political careers to support her. It was clear from watching the travesty of the Rules Committee that they were going to do whatever it took to put That One in office. I’m sure there were delegates who would have sacrificed their career for her, but she would not ask them to do that.
I can definitely see where both sides are coming from. On one hand I say Hillary was forced to… But on the other hand I say I find it hard to believe that hundreds of delegates would have their careers ended if they voted for Hillary. I just do not believe that hundreds of delegates could be punished.
I have been angry the past few days myself. I love Hillary but am saddened that this terrible health care plan is being shoved through. I thought Hillary had a certain vision for our healthcare system so how is she letting this happen when she told us to keep going?
Well said, Ani and Lana. The narrative was indeed written - and that was when the DNC exposed itself as being as far from democratic as any party could be. When they disregarded the majority of Democratic viewers, turned a blind eye and deaf ear to blatant caucus fraud, as well as rampant sexism, it was crystal clear - they had the one they wanted, and they didn’t give a crap what we said abt it. And more, they didn’t/don’t care that it shows, either.
Hillary is the one bright spot, and no doubt, she continues to affiliate herself with, and be the good trooper for, the DNC to be able to continue doing the work that matters to her. If she didn’t, they would marginalize her so fast, it would make your head spin.
I hate that Obama’s her boss, but I am glad to have her on this level. She is the only one of that group I trust to have the best interests of the nation at heart.
Well said Rev Amy! And, great post! Thanks!
But wait, she was still called a liar and a racist and a poor loser!!
Hasan’s fellow students complained to the faculty about his “anti-American propaganda,” but said a fear of appearing discriminatory against a Muslim student kept officers from filing a formal written complaint.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091107/ap_on_re_us/us_fort_hood_shooting
Now, thanks to this same PC paralysis of Hillary and McCain (failing to present the truth about Baraq Hasan), we have similar situation writ large in the White House. In addition to that lack of courage, both of them continue the charade: Hillary works for him and McCain continues to play softball with him.
Sorry. Both of them are past history as far as I am concerned and I second the suggestion that we need someone with real balls like Sarah to reclaim our country for us. Hell, every time she went after Obama bin Biden Mccain’s crew almost had a hissy fit.
When candidates have the kind of tactics used against them like Hillary had, taking the “high” road is lethal. McCain did the same. Now we sit in the midst of ruins. As someone once said, “It may not be the end of the world, but you can see it from here.”
Having said that, I understand Hillary could not get into what was actually happening with the caucus fraud, the unprecedented support of 0zo from the dem leadership, just to name a couple of the fraudulent tactics. There should have been citizens groups like NQ to raise the roof everywhere.
Hmmm. Tricia, I find what you write quite fascinating. The high road might be interpreted in several ways, but as a Hillary loyalist, I would hope that the high road would include the TRUTH so that the American people could have decided for themselves as to the direction of the country.
I am still wondering what the truth about our current president is. My background research, which has taken up untold hours of my life in the last two years, does not square with what the public knows.
When will the TRUTH come out? Does anyone really know what it is?
Wrong. Hillary was the first one to bring up Rezko, but the lapdog media REFUSED to do their job.
Hillary’s attorneys filed a complaint about the Nevada caucus cheating. Nothing happened. Why? Because the media decided they wanted Obama and demonized any challenge or threat to him. And by Obama playing the race card he basically neutralized any honest criticism or questions.
Face it, Hillary could have presented hard evidence of Obama making out with a corpse and the obots would have sworn up and down that it was’nt evidence of him being a necrophile but rather proof of him raising the dead and confirmation of his divinity.
The only people who could have saved us were the ones who wanted Obama the most and the ones who should be most held accountable; the MSM.
Oh, snap, Catherine - well said!!! You are so right - no matter WHAT she did, the MSM, and the DNC, were going to do nothing that was the least bit ethical. (The Clinton campaign also brought to the DNC’s attention the rampant, massive caucus fraud in TX. The DNC did NOTHING abt it.)
Catherine — perfect. You said this much better than I did.
Hammer. Nail. Head.
Fabulous, Catherine! And dead on
Thank you, Catherine. Well said!
When you have given your life in public service for 40 years–including 8 years in the White House and 6 years in the Senate–then you can judge from her perspective. Otherwise, its pure conjecture from a very great distance.
Khan Krum,
The fact is nothing changes people’s minds once they have made them up. They selectively ignore the truth in order to defend their own choice. You can’t convince people of anything if they don’t want to be convinced of it.

It didn’t matter what Hillary Clinton presented about Barack Obama; the narrative about him being the first black president trumped the truth. He gave great speeches, he was tall and lean, young and he was black. He was everything pop culture wanted in a president! And, so that is what pop culture delivered to the rest of us. The DNC was going to make sure pop culture ruled.
Hillary Clinton is a party animal. She knows the ropes; she wouldn’t break party lines. She decided to salvage her place in the party by acquiescing to the DNC’s demand for Obama as the nominee. She gave it a good fight; but she lost that battle. She is now Secretary of State and doing a bang-up job in the face of nightmarish geo-political threats, and spineless “aides” sniping at her the entire way. She did the mature, wise thing, and I am glad now that she did what she could to play a role in this administration.
If Obama fails, I am sure Hillary is going down with the ship.
You wish obot.
Stuff a dirty sock in it, troll. Actually, HRC will have to go down with the ship of state if she stays with Captain
QueegQueazy as he will be the first on the lifeboat, chicken that he is.No, it is not an “if” he has failed repeatedly. That cherry tree has gone virtual, ’cause once wasn’t enough.
If she goes down with the ship that would make her a martyr, which is not Hillary MO.
No, I would take her at her word. It rocks that the Secretary of State got to Christen that ship.
Hillary Clinton was AT the hole on 9/12 and doing everything in her power as a senator and a citizen to assist. BO? He was commuting to his state senate office were he kept NO RECORDS of his time on that job.
Hell, BO walks his own plank and is AWOL.
Think of it how tone deaf he is in just the last week alone.
Makes a speech that shows his priorities to the “first Americans” (and gets it wrong) then is completely circumspect an removed when talking about what is turning out to be a terrorist act , did his responses indicate any respect to the Military? Nope.
Shows up as CINC at the Hood, NOPE
shows up to commission the USS New York to give national focus of the sacrifices made. NOPE.
Not with our hands reaching out to keep her out of the water. We would be her lifeboat, I know it.
Yea, join the club of people who have repeatedly counted Hillary out. “If you get knocked down–get back up.” She’ll be just fine.
affirmative action extreme leftist elitist idealogue?? what planet are you on?
Mark why change your name so often–Don’t you like yourself?
Markie thinks he might pull a fast on on us. Trolls are nothing if both arrogant and stupid, a truly dangerous combination for themselves and the few friends they might have.
Don’t flatter Obama by calling him the anti-Christ. He is not smart enough for that.
Can’t even tell you how much I love Hillary. Of course, they had to get a few digs in at her because her numbers are so much higher than That One’s. I’m with you on the election, Amy. I can’t even go there. I know our Hillary would have been at Fort Hood in the blink of an eye. Looks like we’ve shamed 0 into going:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091107/us_nm/us_texas_shooting_obama
I think W. and Laura shamed him into going. And Lana, I agree that the reason they are smearing her with lies of “big mistakes” is because she is more popular and has better poll numbers than their One.
Are you saying that W and Laura shamed him into going because they got involved in this issue or because they set the model. I’m genuinely curious, not asking in a snarky way.
Found my own answer. On Friday, W and Laura privately visited Fort Hood wounded. Obama went to Walter Reed to visit some of the wounded.
November 7, 2009
FORT HOOD, Texas
(AP)
― Former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, visited wounded soldiers and their families near the site of the worst mass shooting on an Army post in the United States.
The Bushes made their private visit to Fort Hood’s Darnall Army Medical Center on Friday night. Bush spokesman David Sherzer said in an e-mail that the couple thanked Fort Hood’s military leaders and hospital staff for the “amazing care they are providing.”
I think their going to Ft. Hood made O’s absence more glaring. I have no love lost for W, but in this instance he showed a lot more concern and compassion than the current POTUS/TOTUS.
Also remember that their ranch in Crawford is only 30 mi from Ft. Hood. I believe GWB frequently flew into Hood when he went to Crawford.
Absolutely agree with you, Nobama4me. I’m on the same page. jangles, It dos make sense that Bush would be able to get to Fort Hood. I had thought of that, but I am really ticked that That One would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly to Philly in order to campaign for Corzine, but won’t take a quick trip to Fort Hood. The ways and reasons he chooses to use AF1 tell lots about his priorities. He didn’t make it to NY today either.
It would have been so obviously done as a spin to limit the damage. He is insincere at best and at the worst may even be privately enjoying your pain. Besides, the military clearly doesn’t want him anywhere near the Lone Star State.
That’s just it - Obama has no qualms abt jetting across the country, doing a quick stopover in New Orleans, for fundraising, or for campaigning. BUt actually do something to connect with the people who suffered in this tragedy? Nah - he had to be in DC today to strong-arm House members for his ill-fated Health Care Plan. (And not like he couldn’t have flown back and forth in one day, mind you.)
Nope, he can go on “date nights” but not to meet with the wounded or the families of the victims. What a guy.
Rev. Amy, I have been watching the House debate for most of the day while I child proofed the kitchen cabinets for my grand daughter. What a sea of purgatory. Charles Rangel made a comment, when asked if he could grantee an amendment would not die in conference, that it would be a violation of ethic rules.
I wondered if the white house staff had to child proof the building for BO. This health care bill is one of the seven signs as the Dem’s seem to be proselytizing on the floor.
His stop over on his way to Asia IS damage control and PR. Had he decided independently, before the Bushes visited, because it was the right thing to do, MSM would have headlined it to the far corners of America.
Never mind. It seems he did announce,on Friday, that he would be going to the memorial.I still think he should have been there sooner, but late is better then never, I guess…
If they are such “big mistakes,” why does an “anonymous source” need to point them out to anyone?
Exactly. They saw those popularity figures and have to take her down a notch or two, intimating that they are “putting up” with less than perfection from her.
Meanwhile Kid Barack continues to learn on the job and continues to show us that he is not quite up to it.
No better way to deflect attention from yourself than by putting out snide asides on your rivals.
Spot on, Chicago Joe. This is so typical of them - you could set your watch by it. Whenever Hillary is doing well, they have to try and take her down a notch.
As others mentioned above, Joe Klein is hardly an impartial observer, either. I was surprised no one mentioned that when it was stated Klein was the Clinton “biographer.” Well, that’s ONE word for what he is…
“This is so typical of them - you could set your watch by it. Whenever Hillary is doing well, they have to try and take her down a notch.”
That about sums it up! Their (media and blog) campaign against Hillary Clinton is sooooo transparent.
In his mostly economy speech on Fri., the one he CLAIMED was going to be in response to what happened at Ft. Hood, he said he would go to the memorial whenever it happened. Well, great - but why aren’t you already THERE?
That was also when he said they flag the flags at half staff until Veterans Day - this was Friday, mind you. He said it was a small gesture, to which my response was, “You’re not only kidding! Get to Fort Hood already!” Sheesh.
Come to think of it, that was probably one of the few true things Obama has said. Ahem.
Hello there!
This is related to your comment. I posted it earlier today.
Khan Krum:
Please don’t write any more until you brush up on the facts; you are just exposing yourself to ridicule for being so uninformed and stupid.
Idolators and feminists breed here. The Democrats love it, Democrats who feed on the ignorati and the lost poor, few of which could tell you who their Senators or Governor are, with empty promises which make the former feel good and and give false hope to the latter. Its their cushion when Obama crumbles. The Democrats, and NQ is now their in their court, will sink this nation unless checked in a seriously huge way.
How could any thinking and informed patriot be a Democrat?
You’ve got to be kidding right? That had to be a snark, because what Bush and the Republicans did to this country during his reign is nothing to be proud of. Both parties, bought and paid for by the Corporations. Do not be fooled by the elephant that wraps itself in the red, white and blue and do not be fooled by the donkey, it really is an ass. I consider myself an Independent.
There ARE more of us than EITHER of the other - THANK GOD! And they BOTH need babysitters (with handcuffs)
Agreed. Neocons wrapped themselves snugly in a flag they never served and as a veteran that pissed me off no end, particularly old Dickless “5-deferment” Cheney who had other priorities
New here are ya’, beachnan?
HUH?
Hillary Clinton is a remarkable woman. She is extremely smart and her pragmatism is a breath of fresh air. I trust her completely to do what is best for our country even if it means she has to be a team player. If I had a chance to meet any one person in the world, I would pick Hillary, hands down. She is my hero!
Sound of deafening applause coming at you from my house! You said it!
Pragmatism–Hillary’s trademark, just like a great quarterback who only thinks of the best and doable action to take to MOVE THE BALL for an eventual touchdown. Football fans should appreciate this in her; coupled with her intellect, her sincere caring attitude. She would be a great mother who could hold this country to reclaim its true destiny of greatness. I only pray that a majority of the people would have their mind’s eye opened.
Well said, y’all. She’s my hero, too. I’m telling you - we could give Joe a run for his money!!
jwrjr, no kidding, huh? I thought it was a total crock of hooey. “Mixed” nothing. Please…
Hillary would outshine this crew even if she decided to stay at home and be a wife and mother. Enough said!
“A Mixed Record”? Has Klein lost his f**king mind. The only thing “mixed” about her record in the last year was when children like Obama have stuck their noses in and mucked things up. (I wanted to use a word other than “childern”, but it would have attracted the spam monster.)
Isn’t that the truth. He runs a rudderless ship of state getting dangerously close to the reefs on the hard left and the MSM wants HRC to walk the plank.
Is the MSM dumb as pounded excrement or what?
JOE needs to shut his mouth! I remember his BS before the SC primary calling Hillary and Bill rac*sts. She would have been the President!
MY HEROES - they happen to be all girls!
Hillary Clinton
Sarah Palin
and (drum roll please)
SGT. KIMBERLY MUNLEY
CAROL HAKA
Right ON!!
Those are also my Living Heroes List!
I would add Ann Richards and Stephanie Tubbs Jones to that list as well.
I can’t WAIT for 2012! Go Sarah!
For sure. Her putdown of the elder Bush was stellar. “He can’t help it; he was born with a silver foot in his mouth.” ROFL.
I have a dream.
Obama will soon realize he is NOT presidential material, and he will resign.
Then Joe Biden will become president and will pick Hillary to be his vice president.
Soon, Biden’s mouth will do him in and he, too, will resign.
At that point, Hillary becomes president, as she should have been all along and quickly things will start to improve.
That’s my dream.
You say it’s too improbable?
Who would have bet on vice president Spiro Agnew’s resignation, followed soon by Nixon’s resignation, making Gerald Ford president?
Dreams CAN come true.
The only way Obama will leave is in handcuffs.
That’s okay too.
Preferable, actually.
AS WELL HE SHOULD!
WOW i had that same dream. do you think its prophetic ?we can only hope.
Now that’s Change you can Believe in!
Is it possible that the MSM is getting bored with Obama and now they are beginning to turn to the only antidote to the O? As a matter of fact, anyone who wants to annoy, destabilize O’s Zen affectation, only needs to direct attention to Hillary and that would do the trick.
What a great cover picture!
joe scarborough called hillary clinton ‘his girlfriend’ during the primaries. he was the only one on msnbc who i could stand to watch. he also called out the media for their savage attacks on her during that time. i will always admire and respect him for that.
I have always been perplex about how you guys can hate Obama so much and at the same time love Hillary. Isn’t she doing everything he instructs her to? If Obama is so bad, what does that say about Hillary who follows unquestioningly?
Dear F F, life isn’t black and white.
Hillary does what she must, using the pulpit of the SoS to bring about change benefiting women through out the world.
If Obama is so wrong as you folks suggest, then by following his orders, wouldn’t Hillary bring about the wrong changes?

yawn again, ff
How simply can we put this for you to understand?…
When HRC gave her concession speech on 6/6/08, she clearly said she would continue to fight for the same thing she has always fought for–women, children, veterans, health care, education etc. That’s exactly what she is is doing. Her foreign policy emphasis is specifically geared to raising women up worldwide (and as stats show, raising up socio-economic conditions). If you study her biography, she has always attempted to change systems from within, and keeps a long vision. She only took SOS on the condition that she could choose her own staff and envoys. She is affecting change on a daily basis. How about you?
EXACTLY - perfect response, fif!
Speaking of Secretary Clinton, Saturday is when she commissions the assault ship, USS New York.
Now that made my day! Kool.
Request to NQ archivist; Dr. Carol posted a letter early during the primaries at NQ.. It would neat to re-post it.
I understand that she gave a very moving and heartfelt speech today. New York loves her…and so do I!
I’ll try to locate it, Teak.
The whole ship commission ritual is quite moving, as was Hillary. As always.
She is so my hero.
Kim Munley, too - most definitely.
I’m sorry but Mika is an airhead (with apologies to any airhead I may have offended with this comment) and isn’t qualified to speak about HRC.
Isn’t she? There is nothing Hillary can do to move her, either. Sad, but at least Mika is consistent. She has been in the Obama camp for some time. Hillary could end global warming single handed, and Mika would find a way to pick at it (along with that young guy - too tired to try and remember his name).
Katmoon, I am with you. What I wouldn’t give to meet Hillary Clinton…Oh - maybe a Yankees game together. THAT would be utter perfection!
Willy Geist.
Oh, yeah - thanks, Ferd! He annoys me, so I don’t pay too much attention to him.
Love me some Hillary, as always, that has never changed for me. If I was given the opportunity to meet any living President or SOS Clinton, it would be SOS Clinton, hands down.
I just watched the MSNBC clip. It’s still hard for me to watch any MSM coverage, because it always has that Entertainment Tonight, smug-pundit idiocy about it–especially MSNBC. Stengel, who is obviously in love with his role as Time head honcho, was patronizing about HRC, and used every opportunity to point out that she is “below” Obama. The point that really jumped out at me was the implication that she is “going rogue.” Why is it when strong, independent women assert themselves they are always “going rogue” (ie: not being sufficiently subservient and in control)? Many men are obviously still very uncomfortable with powerful women.
Joe…I love the way he talks about her…he’s an unabashed admirer. Join the club Joe.
I always liked Joe, even when I was a blue-dog Democrat. He was at least decent to the opposition, unlike many others in his party. I like him even better now that the veil has been lifted from the stinking pile of garbage that is the former Democratic, now Obamacratic party.
The going “rogue” comment was to associate HRC with Sarah Palin whom they hate. The MSM’s smear campaign has started up again, now that HRC’s popularity is higher than BO’s.
BREAKING NEWS…..House passes Health Care - with 220 votes that includes an obscure repub from LA Joseph (sounds like) Gow. I think I feel sick.
Still has to pass the senate …that’s gonna be trickier.
I guess some dems don’t plan on being re-elected next year.
An article in TIME, by Joe Klein? about Hillary. Gag me. That guy is the most opportunistic, talentless, gossip creep I have read beside Maureen Dowd.
If you ever see that mag in your doctor’s office or somewhere like that, do what I do and gently pick it up and drop it in the trash can.
Deliberately Provocative:
If Joe Klein thinks Secretary of State Clinton’s “performance in Jerusalem indicates that she needs a few lessons in Middle East Haggling 101,” then I wonder what he’ll say about this doozy coming up by the Right Wing Israel-Firsters [a deliberately provocative act intended to incite violence, which will inevitably lead to sympathy for Israel as the "victim" and undermine the impact of the Goldstone Report currently being taken up at the United Nations]:
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/134275
The commissioning of this beautiful ship was inspiring!
From a practical standpoint it shows that we can still be creative. From a philosophical standpoint it shows our strength.
She and Hillary are good for America!
as a Democratic Delegate in Michigan I gave Hillary my primary vote and my delegate vote.No need to go into how I had to eat a crap sandwich from the DNC.Half of her votes went to the thug from Chicago.Never will I vote for a lying Democrat again—turned independent,watch Fox.Nobody above mentioned Keith O calling Hillary a murderer,and David Schuster calling her Chelseas pimp.Unbelievable!!!!!!
Oh, believe you me, I have talked abt it PLENTY (so a quick search above on Shuster and see what you get). A whole bunch of us have, even recently the Shuster comment came up in one of my posts, Snowhite. I used to watch Olbermann all the time until he started attacking Hillary. His comment abt a Superdelegate needing to take her in a room and only one of them come out raised a WHOLE lot of anger here. So, trust me - we know abt these MSNBO thugs.
And I hear ya - I watch Fox now, too, and left the DNC after MANY years to become an Independent.
I simply love Hillary, why can’t we have her as President, the sorrow of it all.
Thanks RRRAmy–I had forgotten about KO making that snarky remark.Also about the Black Caucus Clyburg screaming at her to get out of the race.Eugene Robinson another of KOs guests that always smeared Hillary and had the slobbering love affair with Obama.I guess I still thought people were smarter than I though—sure learned my lesson.
Well, I am sure when there is an congressional investigation into some of Obama’s dealings, Hillary will get her chance to spill her guts. I just hope he keeps messing up and it will happen. They say his administration is much like Nixon’s, so its just a matter of time.
OT tangent. The next time an Obot tells me that the BO is the “smartest president ever”, I
would remind them of who BO charges to do his bidding.

Yikes. Hillary, how do you hang with it?
OK, it’s MNSNBC, but it was about Hillary and at least the Joe Scarborough show, so I watched it.
Great piece. And it also shows the WH is again throwing Hillary under the bus, that Joe Klein says he has WH sources claiming she’s going rogue. I guess, Obama’s ego still can’t get around her doing better than he annd more beloved than he. Amazing that Klein seems to have down this piece through the eyes of an Obot. Anythig good Hillary does, must be at the WH request, but anything bad Hillary does, she went roque.
Joe more than made up for Kleins many problems. And Joe did a great job pointing out how Hillary has the respecct and love of all, military, opposition party, world leaders and voters.
Hillary is just Bill’s feminine side or more direct, Pelosi lite.
Gag.
And, here is Hillary in Manila on her “crushes” when she was young.
