Edwards: Hillary Clinton “Has to Be Really Careful That She’s Not Damaging Our Prospects”
AmericaBlog ^ | May 11, 2008 | Staff

John Edwards said it's over and sent a signal to the Clinton campaign:

John Edwards, a former candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, cautioned Sunday that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton “has to be really careful that she’s not damaging our prospects” by staying in the contest

That's really wise advice. But, Clinton's spokesman, Howard Wolfson, is still in a fighting mood, apparently. Puffing his chest out on FOX today, Wolfson delivered some classic fifth grade school yard taunts:

But Howard Wolfson, a senior Clinton adviser, struck a feisty note on Fox, saying that if Mr. Obama wanted Mrs. Clinton out of the race, there was a simple way to ensure that: "Beat her. Beat her in West Virginia, beat her in Puerto Rico, beat her in Kentucky." Mrs. Clinton, of New York, is favored in those coming contests; Mr. Obama holds an edge in the others, in Oregon, Montana and South Dakota.

That would almost be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

The Clinton campaign is rife with bullies who threw their weight around, yelling at people, screaming at people. I experienced that twice myself early on, before I supported anyone and just wanted a Democrat who could win. (And, trust me, I had very few interactions with Clinton staffers.)

There's nothing better than seeing the bullies get their butts kicked. And, that's exactly what's happening now.

So, Clinton and her entire staff should heed the words of John Edwards. The Clintons and their vaunted brain trust screwed up their own campaign. They don't need to inflict their ruinous behavior on Obama and the rest of the Democrats anymore.

And while we're on the subject of Clinton campaign people, the best line of the day, didn't come from anyone on the Sunday shows. It came from Al Giordano:

I'd say the Democratic higher-ups have definitely given their blessings to sharpen, unsheath the rhetorical blades vis a vis Hillary.

Sounds like Edwards is parsing his words … what he really means is “Hillary get out”.

Hey, Breck Girl, when are you fools going to realize she doesn’t care about the party. She cares about herself. She and Bill are the penultimate narcissists. Before this is over, as did Saddam Hussein leaving Kuwait, she is going to burn the oil wells. How dare her subjects prevent her coronation.

For all the Klintoons have done TO America and the people around them, they are lucky to still be walking the streets as free citizens....so nice to see these carpetbagging criminals being pushed out. Finally.

There’s no bigger bully than a soul-sucking Marxist with a nice smile.

You know, your well-chosen image reminds me of when in one incident Hillary waxed nostalgic about how as a child her grandfather would brandish his gun, adding some gratuitous pro-gun utterance and then in a totally unrelated appearance with a host of other candidates when asked by the host who among them had any experience with guns in their lifetimes several raised their but not Annie Oakley here.

He’s being cagey.

He wants to be attorney general. He doesn’t care who wins. He’s looking our for himself.

In Edwards' world, there is nobody but himself.

Many Freepers are becoming tired of eating all that popcorn while watching the Clinton-Obama mud wrestling fights this election year, so I would like to introduce a new item for our cuisine while watching all the fun:

One word out of you and the media will be doing interviews with that skank you knocked up you’ve hidden in that NC gated community you stashed her at.

I told you be quiet.

"From hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee."

I remember that!

Right at the last second, just before the Genesis Device detonated, Khan gasped out that final curse at Kirk, a moment before Spock sacrificed himself to get the warp drive back online, and the Enterprise escaped certain destruction.

I just want to know how Melville managed to learn about those future events before he wrote that obviously plagiarized book.

Tom, it's important that we hold Melville's feet to the fire on this, and I applaud you. Nice work FRiend!

There may have been a few *excellent* reasons for Hillary to keep silent on her firearms experience...

Edwards to Clinton is not exactly King of Spain to Hugo Chavez.

She needs Algore to tell her to shut up.
