Rupert + Hillary = the presidency?
Sunday, July 3, 2005
WASHINGTON -- As we begin to unfurl the flags and set off the fireworks to celebrate Independence Day, some turn their thoughts to the glory days of the fight for freedom from the British crown, its aristocrats and their taxes.
Momentous to that moment was Paul Revere's night ride in April 1775 from Boston to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that a contingent of British troops was moving to capture them and their ammunition stored at Concord.
The shouted warning along his ride of "The Regulars are coming out" alerted Revere's fellow members of the "Sons of Liberty" to the danger so that they were ready and waiting in Concord.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, published 100 years later, sacrificed meter for style, turning the phrase to "The British are coming," which would have been meaningless in 1775, as our patriots all considered themselves British.
However, in 2005, rumors that the Brits have returned and may become involved in the next race for the White House -- in a sweetheart deal with the junior senator from New York -- already have reached the media.
Although Hillary Clinton is the front-runner among Democrat presidential hopefuls, she must retain her New York Senate seat in 2006. Probably there will not be strong opposition to a recreated "moderate" Hillary, who supports the continued war in Iraq, fights for homeland security money and shrugs off criticism by whining "right-wing conspiracy."
Then, Hillary will think of returning to the White House; uppermost in her mind is to play the Ross Perot card.
When Bill Clinton first ran for president, Perot, the Texas billionaire businessman, was on a number of ballots as the Reform Party candidate. The votes he siphoned from disaffected Republicans are said.....

Utter nonsense.
To begin, Major and Blair were never "close" in '97. The support of the Murdoch Media may have been worth a few dozen seats, but Labour would have won in any case.
2008 is a long way off, especially in "internet years". Hopefully by then the transition to the internet as a source of news will have been completed by then...and we won't need CNN-lite anymore.
If that happens, bye-bye Fox News!
Oh gee. We all know she will never get that kind of publicity from the MSM don't we? /sarcasm.
She didn't get one single hardball question in her quest for the Senate, nor will she as she attempts to steal the White House.
If FOX turns to the left, it won't have any real "market" to share... Rupert knows that, and he will pay attention before endorsing an old (raped) witch: Hitlery.
Fox News contributer: Wesley friggen Clark.
Fox ain't what they used to be.
Really, FOX who?
Do you have any idea who the author of this article could be?
They used conservatives to start-up the channel.
What happens when you are kidnapped or killed and you are not white? Does Fox News cover you? Or any other members of tragedy TV as Laura Ingraham puts them.
Clark is an idiot, an enemy of Western Civilization.
I don't watch much tv but I tend to turn to Foxnews for Brit Hume's show when I can.
Foxnews certainly is just as capable of bias and manipulation as anybody else.
I think he's running again, also.
Thankfully, I stopped watching FOX years ago.
I guess I prefer full control over what stories I read, when I read them (rather than being inundated with Natalie Holloway, Scott Peterson, or Michael Jackson 24/7).
