Hillary’s Chest Gets Bigger As ’08 Gets Closer

When asked if she has decided to run for President, Senator Hillary Clinton has a stock response: She’s focused on her re-election fight here in New York in 2006.

But on Oct. 14, when Mrs. Clinton revealed her early 32-to-1 financial edge over her likely rival next year, another unspoken answer crystallized: Mrs. Clinton is already running for President, and next year’s election is just part of that campaign.

Campaign-finance regulations encourage members of Congress to store up money in Congressional accounts for use in a Presidential race. From Mrs. Clinton’s perspective, then, her prospective Republican opponent, Jeanine Pirro, is looking less like a threat and more like a fund-raising gimmick. Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, spread between New York and Washington, is staffed with veterans of Presidential campaigns and of the White House. And Mrs. Clinton’s national agenda is making no compromises with New York’s parochial needs.

“Hillary isn’t raising this money for a Senate race—let’s be honest,” said a Democratic political consultant who advised Senator John Kerry in his Presidential run last year. “The 2006 election is an excuse to develop the infrastructure of a Presidential campaign—to raise the money, do the thinking, do the planning, and do the work that’s involved in laying the groundwork for a Presidential run.”

How do you think she's doing that? At any rate, BillyBob will probably be sniffing around the house more.

Overflow from the thighs?

[highlander_UW]

I'd rather not think about Hillary's chest...or her thighs or any other part of her if you don't mind.

[The Wizard]

I thought you meant her chest, (bust)

[Paloma_55]

When I read the headline, I thought perhaps she had gotten a breast enlargement. Have to admit, it wouldn't hurt!

[Mike Bates]

The Observer's headline, not mine.

[Casloy]

Gotta admit, I got pulled in with that headline. Like a train wreck, ya don't want to see it, but ya can't help but look.

[MNJohnnie]

Now there was a truly disgusting mental image.

[najida]

Well,
This headline had everyone thinking the same thing....
Hillary got more boobage.

everyone should clean up their minds. That thought never, ever occurred to me. Absolutely. Positively.

[Mike Bates]

And wouldn't "getting more boobage" require procuring another one of these?
