We've caught Hillary Clinton in another lie, this time involving the Imus firestorm.
Several days after the controversy broke out, Clinton decided it was safe for her to weigh in on the I-man's comments. Clinton was quoted in the New York Daily News and on her website as saying, "I've never wanted to go on his show and I certainly don't ever intend to go on his show, and I felt that way before his latest outrageous, hateful, hurtful comments."
But hold on. She never wanted to go on Imus? After all, her hubby Bill has Imus to thank for saving him in the 1992 New York primaries. Many say Bill Clinton's appearance on the Imus radio show helped him to win in New York and launch him to the national stage. Maybe Imus could do the same for her in 2007? Watch Donald Trump tell Imus Hillary "really wants to get on his show"
It sure sounded like the Clinton camp wanted to go there, when Imus buddy Donald Trump called into the show on April 6th. Anyone who listed to Imus knew how he felt about Hillary. He called her "Satan," and vowed she would never appear on his program. That morning, Trump tried to change his mind:
"As you know I mentioned that Hillary wanted to really get on your show. She has a lot of respect for you but it doesn't seem to be reciprocal. She's a terrific woman and she'd do your show gladly but you don't seem to want to according to Bernard and according to watching you, you don't seem to want her on the show.”
The interview raises some real questions: Was Trump speaking on behalf of the Clinton campaign or was he doing this totally on his own? If you listen to the interview, it sure sounds like Trump wasn't asking for himself. Who put Trump up to it?
You'd think these would be good questions for the mainstream media to ask, but they've been to
Hillary is also dishonest about the reason for her and her husband’s falling out with Imus. Imus fell from their grace because of his jokes about Whitewater and Bill’s affairs at the press correspondent’s dinner.
At that dinner last year Colbert really dissed President Bush. It was my first exposure to Colbert. He was crass. My 14 year old thinks he’s a conservative. I told him he’s not getting the sarcasm.
Imus has always reminded me of a “Dry Drunk”. He still has that stinkin’ thinkin’.
That was in 1996.
