LOUISVILLE, KY —

While she said wished she could be in town for the Derby on Saturday, Clinton had some instructions for volunteers going to the race in her stead — telling them “I want everybody to place a little money on the filly.”

[tlb]

Over 240 comments at the url, mostly hostile Obama supporters. One response to Hillary asks "Who would vote on the old grey mare?"

[Perdogg]

Why, is Chelsea running in the Kentucky derby?

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

That sounds so unlike her. Except for the money part!

[Question Liberal Authority]

I thought John Edwards dropped out.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Forget the Kentucky Derby. Ask her if we should go short or long in Cattle Futures.

You must be mistaken. Obama is a uniting force in American politics. He brings hope and change. He will unite us. After the Democrats decide on a nominee, the party will be united. The bitter clingers you described must be paid Republican Operatives attempting to Swiftboat someone.

[Rebelbase]

Old nags are not allowed to run the Derby.

LOL...perfect pic

Bill likes to pride himself on being hung like a... It’s all in the family.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.

Go right to the source and ask the horse
He’ll give you the answer that you’ll endorse.
He’s always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. Ed.

People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day
But Mister Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And this one’ll talk ‘til his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?

Well listen to this. I am Mister Ed.

[samtheman]

You got it!

Obama hope change unity.

That’s the ticket!

[Question Liberal Authority]

Plus, if Obama were to make a bet on the derby, he'd have to get specific, and the aura of invincibility would be gone.

"To say that a horse will win the derby implies that a horse will also lose the derby. But what about those horses who never got to run in the derby - who never got to race at all? Just because they were the wrong color. And their ears were freakishly large. And their middle name was 'Hussein'?"

[blackdog]

Depends on who her mount is.......

[M. Espinola]

The leftist nag.

[CPOSharky]

Filly? Kentucky Derby?

More like the old grey mare on the way to the glue factory.

[blackdog]

She should have suggested placing bets on the old gray mare. Then when asked about the derby, said "What Derby?"

She's have hit it out of the park.

Next story: “When I visited my grandfather, he always took me to see Uncle Jeb who had a pony. Sometimes I would ride all day. I always wanted a horse of my own but all I wound up with was a horses _ _ _.”

[Sacajaweau]

I can’t believe I watched Mr. Ed and enjoyed it. I guess we liked the “Fun” the media provided. Not much fun left in it.

[albie]

“More like the old grey mare on the way to the glue factory”.

...and with an a$% the size of hers, that’s a lot of glue!

[mimaw]

Smart voters will send the filly to the glue factory.

[albie]

“I want everybody to place a little money on the filly.”

...if Sean or Rush said that their career would be over.

[BaBaStooey]

Good call, Hillary.

The filly came in second to a horse named “Big Brown,” broke her two front (elephant) ankles, and then had to be euthanized on the track.

What a terrible analogy for the Democratic Primary from Hillary’s point of view, huh?
