Sorry, FreeMan...but that's exactly the kind of argument recent posts are talking about. Off point, and small.

And frankly, Hillary at this point in time is not the issue.

[Howlin]

Stop! Stop! I don't want to face reality today! Please!

From NewsMax

" A controversial Hollywood fund-raiser and self-described witness against Bill and Hillary Clinton will plead guilty tomorrow to charges he defrauded several charities in California, in exchange for his further cooperation.

"I'm a star witness against President and Mrs. Clinton," Aaron Tonken said in court documents made public earlier this year. "I'm a star witness in New York in the grand jury regarding the Marc Rich pardon and regarding the fundraising activities that I've done on behalf of the Clintons," the celebrity moneyman continued.

"It's multi-faceted. Part of it's a criminal investigation dealing with the former president; part of it's a massive investigation with the IRS with me in conjunction with all celebrities that I've gifted."

Already, Tonken's testimony has caused trouble for Clinton Pardongate donor Denise Rich, who was thought to be out of the woods until he began singing. Prosecutors with the U.S. attorney's office in New York are said to have new evidence that Mrs. Rich violated an immunity arrangement by hiding certain relevant details of her story, the New York Daily News reported on Friday.

Sources familiar with the investigation told the paper that prosecutors are currently weighing whether to bring obstruction of justice counts against Rich - a development that puts additional pressure on her to come clean about her dealings with the Clintons."

This was a while back. Things are moving forward. We'll see.

Has ANY member of our under-educated press had the cajones to ask Dean:

"Since you said on GMA last week that you would unseal your records when President Bush unseals his, and since you now know that President Bush DID unseal his records when he announced his candidacy, when are you going to release your records?"

[Howlin]

Is it against your religion to drink on Sundays? If not, run quick and have a short one before you start!

Interested in your impressions!

[Catspaw]

Ah, a Hillary! free FNS. Now it's my turn to see how Chris Wallace does.

[cajungirl]

LOL,,just what should we ladies gird up our loins with? And what is in this year in terms of the fashionable loin girder. I am thinking of something in red with a little sparkle just to make the loin girding more pleasant!

[NittanyLion]

Think in terms of swing states - which would Hillary! win?

The entire South would go for the GOP, including Florida. Ohio for the GOP. Michigan for the GOP. Pennsylvania would be a tossup. I don't see anyway Hillary could win a national election - her negatives area far too high to compete anywhere outside a solid liberal state like NY.

[thesummerwind]

Easy to hate!

[Catspaw]

Make it a REALLY big belt. Don't bother with a glass.

[Miss Marple]

She is going to try to take the nomination from Dean, I would bet cash money on it.

[Dave S]

Which is why she skipped Fox

My guess is she didnt want to be seen with Dean. Big reason she probably didnt appear is that Wallace had already lined up the interview with Dean and had been promoting it.

[cajungirl]

Howlin,,,just suck it up and think about your loin-girding thread,,it should be a keeper. We mustn't think of defeating Hillary in stark terrible terms. We must make it a fashion opportunity.

[Howlin]

I know what you're saying -- we have to be better than she is -- but she brings out such a visceral feeling in most of us, it may take a stun gun to stop us once we get on a roll.

That's what I hate about her the most: how SHE makes ME feel about HER.

[mickie]

She just said "As a native New Yorker"..........what a liar!

She is so coached, knows exactly how to deflect a hard question (which are few).

What does the person have to offer America?
What qualifications does she have to become President of the United States?

Nothing, thats what.....all smoke and mirrors!

[Carolinamom]

Winegirder here!

[Mo1]

OMG .. I turned on ABC and she is wearing the black pants .. LOL

[miss marmelstein]

She just said one thing that caught MY attention: she said to Tim Russert that she was a NATIVE New Yorker. As a native nyer, I'm appalled and upset that Russert let her get away with this...

[Howlin]

I believe you're right; note that Leon Panetta came out about Dean this very week.

It's a little over a month till the voting starts.

Now where is that article I saw on here not long ago about exactly HOW she is going to do it? Anybody?

[Helms]

I thought I heard this as well.
