Reid: "What do I do if she has my FBI file, too?"
Posted on 06/28/2006 7:09:47 AM PDT by .cnI redruM
The exceedingly intense rivalry between Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and Charles Schumer (N.Y.) embroiled just about everybody in the Senate Democratic leadership Tuesday, including Minority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) and his spokeswoman, ROLL CALL reports.
Apparently, Clinton and her staff felt snubbed when party leaders organized a news conference in which they vowed to block efforts to give Members of Congress a pay raise until Congress approves an increase in the minimum wage. Clinton has introduced legislation along those lines, but she was not involved in planning the leadership’s news conference to trumpet the issue.
ROLL CALL's Mary Ann Akers: Although Clinton, a close adviser of Reid’s, was ultimately invited to attend the news conference, she was not told about the event until just hours before it began Tuesday.
While the noon event was hastily arranged — planning for it only began Monday night — a Clinton aide was apparently so furious that the Senator seemed to be left out of the loop that she bawled out (“reamed out” was how one source put it) a spokeswoman for Reid near the entrance to the Senate Radio-Television Gallery.
The Clinton aide, Laurie Rubiner, was overheard saying to Reid spokeswoman Rebecca Kirszner, “You suck” and “How could you do this?”
Don't get me wrong, I think Senators should only receive a stipend and there should be no minimum wage, but here's my prediction: Senate salaries will end up being raised and the minimum wage won't budge. Any takers?
The country's being run by children.
Aw, did they get their widdle feewings hurt? Poor widdle things.
I guess bowing to Her Thighness is getting old. Queen Hitlery will put them in their place.
....apparently Rodham thinks that Hairless Reid has to get her approval before he makes as move....such are the vagaries of a hubristic ego run amuck
Probably has one of those MEAN PEOPLE SUCK stickes on her car. I always suspected that was a gay rights sticker, now that is confirmed.

Was it this Laurie Rubiner? 
Laurie Rubiner is Director of New America’s Universal Health Insurance Program, which aims to achieve universal coverage in America through a system of mandatory insurance combined with public subsidies for those who need them. (She used to work for Lincoln Chafee and Bob Dole!)
Getting upset about being snubbed over a press conference? Oh brother. I've been in politics professionally, and I've seen a lot of strange behavior in that realm. But this story takes such manic behavior to a higher level of obtuseness.
Now we're raising the minimum wage again? Has anyone been able to prove a connection between raising the minimum wage and reducing poverty? Nope. It affects virtually no one. All it really does is price young people out of jobs they normally would have been able to obtain.
LOL, ha ha ha, such civility. These liberals better figure out quickly who runs that town... Hey libs want to cement that woman's feet in quicksand, release that Barrett Report.
Imagine, if you will, what the country would be like under (((((President)))) Hillary Clinton......((((shudder)))

Laurie Rubiner who used to be senior health policy advisor to John Chafee is now Legislative Director for Hillary Clinton.
I am willing to bet that Congress will get their pay raise. I think that is guaranteed. The minimum wage part of this is probably a 50-50 bet.
I love it though holding up a pay raise they dont need in order to get a minumum wage bill that isnt any good.
Sorry folks, that's just TACKY, TACKY, TACKY!!

Well that's grown-up.
“You suck”
I'm surprised she did not use Hillary's old line "You fuxxing Jew Bastard"
Why are you worried Senator, don't you still enjoy the protection of the Corleone family?
tee hee....some days are just better than others when it comes to the maroons in the dum party.
He's from Nevada, of course, he's wearing a diamond ring. Paid for by suckers.
