"I should have appeared on O'Reilly."
She's like poop in a pasture on a hot day. Draws all kinds of flies and bugs and such.
I'll give this much .. she sure has some brass ones to make a comment like that
Oh and this comment about America being ready for a female President ... she's showing her cards
``There's a feeling that it's time,'' she said. ``In the 21st century, people have come to accept individuals on their merits.''
Wonder if this was her return to the plantation.
Wonder if she stopped by Al's new Condo.
Yawn. My prediction- Hillary won't run. She'll control the money and the Senate minority but she will read the tea leaves and decide against running. Billy Bentpecker will be served w/ divorce papers right after she makes the decision.
Why was she really here? Did someone tell her that Gavin "AnyTwoSome" Newsom was performing those ceremonies again?
Oh, man, my husband proudly became an American citizen in that same auditorium in 2003--it was a lovely building, why do I feel like it's been sullied now?? :-(

She said she was particularly outraged about reports of unwarranted wiretapping by the National Security Agency.
``That is deeply troubling to me,'' she said. ``There's a differnce between giving up privacy under the rule of law and giving it up by executive fiat.''
Does she not remember FBI File Gate?
Wasn't that that Media Benjamin bich that protested her? If it was... Ya gotta hand it to her! She's and equal opportunity protester!!!

Clinton tests West Coast waters

(Excerpted)
Among the highlights of Clinton's conversation:
-- On the victory of Hamas in the recent Palestinian elections, Clinton said the world had become less stable, and she was "deeply troubled" by that development.
"We cannot recognize or negotiate with Hamas unless they renounce violence," she said.
-- On the issue of wiretapping, she said the administration had taken a "defiant" and illegal stand: "We had to upgrade and increase our surveillance," she said. "We saw some holes in our laws and we moved to plug them ... (but) what this adminstration is saying is we have a right to do whatever we think is necessary without going to the Congress," without getting court approval.
"There's no reason that the adminstration could not have come to the Congress and asked for the lawful authority," Clinton said.
-- On whether she would renounce her vote in support of giving the president authority to go to war in Iraq, Clinton said she had been told "the intelligence had been consistent -- we now know, consistently wrong" regarding Saddam Hussein's connection with weapons of mass destruction.
"I voted to give (the president) that authority, and I don't regret that vote," she said. "I regret the why he used the authority."
-- On the administration's response to Louisiana residents in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Clinton called it "disgraceful," and added, "now we're turning our backs on them," charging that "a deliberate policy of neglect" has taken root.

"What Hillary Knows About National Security ...
Charles R. Smith
Thursday, Jan. 26, 2006
... But Is Afraid to Ask"
COLUMN SNIPPET: "Now we know that Hillary Clinton is the great protector of our national security and civil rights. The slash-and-burn former first lady from Arkansas, now appearing in the U.S. Senate as a real live politician, has declared herself to be the watchdog of righteousness.
Mrs. Clinton, the leading 2008 presidential candidate, told reporters she did not yet know whether the Bush administration's warrantless eavesdropping broke any laws. She did, however, say that she did not buy the White House's main justification for the tactic.
"Obviously, I support tracking down terrorists. I think that's our obligation. But I think it can be done in a lawful way," stated the junior senator from New York.
"Their argument that it's rooted in the authority to go after al-Qaida is far-fetched. Their argument that it's rooted in the Constitution inherently is kind of strange," stated Mrs. Clinton."

"Hillary Clinton Attacks Bush,
U.S. Intelligence Services in
Overseas Interview
Urges a 'Globalized and Integrated World'"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton (D NY) has attacked U.S. President George W. Bush, and questioned U.S. intelligence effectiveness in an interview published in the online version of the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel.
Der Spiegel is Germany's leading newsmagazine, and is highly regarded throughout Europe. Clinton's remarks will gain a high degree of publicity across the European continent, attracting support within Europe's generally liberal political environment, where socialism enjoys wide acceptance.
While asserting her support for Bush in Afghanistan and Iraq, Sen. Clinton criticized present U.S. policy in Europe, and questioned the Bush administration's use of intelligence information."
No, there are plenty of people as arrogant and incompetent as you, Senator.

Clinton: Cover employees
Senator pushes for Wal-Mart's contribution to workers' health plans, but is unclear whether she took that stand as retailer's board member
January 26, 2006
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton wants Wal-Mart to contribute to health insurance for its employees - but can't recall if she pushed for worker benefits during six years as a paid board member for the nation's largest retailer.
(snip)
Asked if she had advocated better benefits while serving as a board member with Arkansas-based Wal-Mart from 1986 to 1991, Clinton replied, "Well, you know, I, that was a long time ago ... have to remember," adding that "obviously I believe every company should" contribute to benefit plans.

January 29, 2006 -- BILL Clinton has made corporate reform one of his top causes since leaving the White House. He calls for more "socially responsible" investing, better protection of workers and greater diversity in corporate management. At the same time, he condemns cronyism, excessive pay for top management and an alleged emphasis on short-term profits at the expense of workers.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton — a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee — has bashed corporations for their failure to live up to their pension obligations.
Yet, as the senior adviser to two investment funds managing public pension funds, Bill Clinton has himself promoted an investment fund that promises to put money into "lower-income urban and rural communities" — but instead devotes its cash to Al Gore's upstart cable channel and his wife's financial supporters.
AT first glance, it seemed the perfect fit: Bill Clinton, corporate reformer, signing on as a senior adviser (and "active adviser," according to a company press release) to the Yucaipa Corporate Initiatives Fund and the Yucaipa American Fund. Both get all their cash from pension funds from public-school teachers and government workers in California and New York state.
CALPERS, the huge California public-employee retirement fund, has agreed to commit $500 million to Yucaipa, and the California State Teachers Retirement System (CALSTRS) another $150 million. Millions more are to come from the New York State Common Retirement Fund.
Clinton's job, when he joined Yucaipa in April 2002, wasn't just to help make the rich richer: These were to be "investment funds that specialize in lower-income urban and rural communities," as The New York Times reported. Yucaipa managing partner Carlton Jenkins told Black Enterprise magazine that the funds were seeking out "urban-based minority or female-owned businesses."
And Clinton's role in the fund, Yucaipa head Ron Burkle made clear, would not be passive. "He's invaluable," said Burkle, explaining that Clinton would help raise money and offer investment advice to the funds.
But a venture that was supposed to help minority businesses and secure the future of pensioners in two of America's biggest states seems to have done anything but.
The Yucaipa Corporate Initiatives Fund has already poured millions into Al Gore's new cable channel, Current Television. Gore's venture is headquartered in a tony neighborhood of San Francisco, which certainly doesn't seem to fit the definition of a "lower-income urban" community. Nor is it minority-owned — indeed, all the major investors are white males. (Indeed, by a who's who of major Democratic Party money people — including Joel Hyatt, former Democratic National Committee finance chairman, Rob Glaser of Realnetworks and Bill Joy of Sun Microsystems.)
Yucaipa told the San Francisco Weekly that Gore's enterprise "has a strong commitment to increase the representation of women and people of color." But the upper management of the network is completely white.
