LEFTOVERS
While President George W. Bush was embraced warmly by the more than 600 troops he served dinner to in Baghdad on Thanksgiving, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton didn't get the same treatment.

In fact so few U.S. military personnel volunteered to meet and sit with her, that military leaders in Baghdad had to designate enlisted personnel and junior officers to spend time with the New York senator.

"The meetings with [Iraqi administrator Paul] Bremer went fine, but we weren't finding a lot of takers on meeting with Clinton and [Rhode Island Democratic senator Jack] Reed," says an American staffer in Baghdad. "Maybe there weren't a lot of New Yorkers in the area."

If Clinton was aware of her seemingly unpopularity, she didn't seem to care. Almost immediately after landing in Iraq, she began bad-mouthing the Bush administration to the military personnel she met, telling them that while America supported the troops, there were questions about the Bush administration's approach.

"To these men and women over here, it is the same thing," says the U.S. official. "Her husband didn't get it and she obviously hasn't learned. These men and women over here are America. They are the policy. For her to say what she said was just misguided."


SICK LEAVE
It wasn't just the military having troubles rounding up cooperative folks for Democrats. Leading up to the final votes on the Medicare reform legislation, Democrats weren't able to draw on the natural pool of vocal protesters to Republicans attempts to change the program. That's because the AARP had signed off on the bill and was running ads supporting it.

So the Democrats had to use organized labor for the protests, even though many of those union members who appeared at rallies with such Democrats as Sen. Tom Daschle and Sen. Ted Kennedy weren't old enough or hadn't qualified for Medicare yet -- no Gray Panthers here! According to one Democratic leadership aide, some protesters were being paid by the unions they belonged to to make up for lost wages because they took time off from work to help out their Democratic friends.

"so few U.S. military personnel volunteered to meet and sit with her, that military leaders in Baghdad had to designate enlisted personnel and junior officers to spend time with the New York senator."

I hope they all got hazardous duty pay.

As for "Maybe there weren't a lot of New Yorkers in the area", I disagree. Maybe there were.

Hope they got extra hazard pay. And where were the NBC suits?! I can't believe unprotected servicemen and women were allowed next to Crusty!

[boxerblues]

Does Hillary think that our troops are apolitical, stupid and uninformed? They know why they are there, they have almost total access to e-mail, telephones, etc. and they can form their own opinions of how things are going, not only in Iraq but the US. Another miscalculation on her part but I really believe there is more going on in Hillary's world right now than meets the eye.

Was wondering when the truth would come out. I just hope the "American staffer" in Baghdad has his/her buns covered for having said this. The administration would not consider this in keeping with "the new tone" dontchaknow. On the other hand, the administration can chalk it up to not having as much control over the "Bremer administration" officials in that country.

[anniegetyourgun]

Don't miss this.

He looks like he trying hard to keep from bustin' out laughing!! LOL!

I like the tag you have hung around her neck.

[blackie]

The evidence is there ~ Too bad that the pro-terrorist democrats and their left-wing lackeys in the media are so brain dead!

The RATS Are In Disarray ~ Eradicate The Rodents!

Fire Democrats ~ Hire Republicans!

You posted, "That's nothing new. Hil's mom used to have to tie a porkchop around her neck to get the dog to play with her."

Word is that is how Hildebea$t got Bubba at Yale to play with her. She was so butt ugly then, Bubba ignored her. So she fried some pork chops and put them around her neck and other parts of her body. Bubba, the boy from Dog Patch Arkrazy, fell in love with the pork chops.
