Scarborough Country

April 28, 2004

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Today, the senator‘s office tried to strong-arm us into retracting that story. . . .

Last night, we showed you comments made by Hillary Clinton that criticized George Bush and America‘s foreign policy in the Middle East. Her complaints run by Arab newspapers and repeated across the Middle East. She said this—quote—

“Their stubbornness and arrogance is breathtaking. And, as a result, we continue to go down a path that I think is fraught with horrible dangers, especially for the young men and women serving in Iraq, but also for Iraqis, for the stability of the region.”. . .

Early this morning, Ms. Clinton‘s office began calling our staff and the president of MSNBC, claiming the statements we reported last night were never made by the senator. . . .

This morning at about 10:00 a.m., we got an angry phone call from Senator Clinton‘s office. They were demanding an apology and a retraction. They said she never spoke to the Arab press. She never criticized the president, and, in fact, never did the interview at all.

Our producers immediately double-checked our sources and we tracked down the reporter who did the interview with Senator Clinton, and by noon we found out that the interview did take place. And the senator‘s press secretary then started to back down.

And by 4:30 this afternoon, the senator‘s representatives admitted that she did the interview. She did know the reporter was writing to an international audience, and she did criticize the president.

What does a person have to do to get charged with treason! It seem like a naughty child she's just keeps pushing the limit to see how much she can get by with. She does think she's above all rules and laws.

When the time comes, Hitlary will tear JFK's nodes off with the speed of a moray eel. I agree, look for an "unexpected" Hitlary nomination as candidiate for president in September.

What does a person have to do to get charged with treason!

Democrats get a pass. Didn't you get the memo?

[prognostigaator]

Hillary must have thought that Scarborough was still a congressman so first threatened him with the exposure of his FBI files ........

At 40 yrs of age, I hope to hell the actuaries and life expectency charts are correct. If so, I will find relief pissing on the rodham f!!%k's grave some day. .... course, I just increased the chances to slightly greater than zero that I'll get fostered...... what a country.... her ilk, by the way are why the patriot act must be reworked.... not islam.

Nothing Todd wouldn't do, all in the name of konservatizm, of course.

Same thing with me.

[John Lenin]

She really annoys me<

Annoys is mild for what I would like to type.

[ladyinred]

She IS above the law, which is why she thinks it! Never any consequences for the Clinton's.

[Palladin]

I am starting to like this guy Scarborough.

Hillary knew she was talking to the international press. She could have surmised that the Arab press would, in turn, seize upon her remarks.

She chooses her words carefully, and fully anticipates the effect. She meant to bash Bush and to demoralize our men and women in Iraq.

Scarborough has exposed her for the traitor that she is.

[onyx]

Correct.
Damn shame too.

[GOPJ]

One more filthy little puzzle piece.
