Carlson: Hillary Still Resents Lieberman Over Lewinsky
NewsMax ^ | 11 July 2006

Posted on 07/10/2006 5:14:07 PM PDT by Aussie Dasher

There could be an additional, unspoken reason behind Sen. Hillary Clinton’s recent declaration that she won’t support Sen. Joe Lieberman if he loses the Democratic primary in Connecticut – payback.

Lieberman, as Hillary well recalls, took her husband Bill to task over the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

As NewsMax reported last week, Clinton said she would support the nominee chosen by Connecticut Democrats in the August 8 primary, even though Lieberman has announced that he plans to run as an independent if he loses.

"I believe we must honor the decisions made by Democratic primary voters,” Hillary said.

But columnist Margaret Carlson, writing for Bloomberg.com, points out: "You can also interpret Clinton’s swipe at Lieberman as an act of lingering resentment against the man who scolded her husband during impeachment proceedings shortly after his admission in August 1998 that he had been lying to the country for seven months.

"Lieberman took to the Senate floor to slam Clinton ‘for having extramarital relations with an employee half his age . . . in the vicinity of the Oval Office. Such behavior is not just inappropriate. It is immoral.’”

Carlson then opines: "Revenge isn’t an admirable emotion but at least it’s evidence of some emotion from a woman who showed none during one of the most public cases of philandering ever . . . She may have been finally getting back at the Democrat who didn’t stand by her man.”

Carlson is a long time Clinton supporter and Time magazine contributor.

Lieberman is facing a strong primary challenge from millionaire businessman Ned Lamont, and many Connecticut Democrats are unhappy about the senator’s support for the Iraq war.

Which reminds me: It's worth noting that even Tammy Wynette divorced George Jones when she got tired of his crap.

Built up as "The Conscience of the Senate" before the impeachment/conviction vote, Joe was a useful idiot for Clinton and then for Gore's run for the oval office. Not even Algore would support Joe's run for Prez...he threw him under the bus. Hillary, the driver of the 'rat bus sees Joe in her rearview mirror and throws it in reverse to run him over again. Their use for the idiot is over.

Don't kid yourself. Hillary traded him supporting her for Senate and possibly the Presidency and was why she fought for him.

Joe has not lost this primary yet. Perhaps we can make it Hillary's first primary. She is out on a limb here.



Actually, do WE give a rip what happens to the 2000 election V.P. candidate who turned totally super liberal when "Mr. Global Warming" chose him as his running mate?
I remember lieberman's rhetoric then that were in total 180 degrees opposite to his former character as an orthodox Jewish believer!
I couldn't care less what the dims do to him!!
His is a democRAT lib and will always be a lib!!!

Those were the days, eh?

Just noticed you registered at FR 17 days before I did - makes us semi-old timers.

Did you happen to attend the first "March for Justice" 10/31/1998?

I kinda like the plain old "Run Hillary Run" sticker that you put on your front bumper.

Yup! Showed up with my sons and their friends. We were all wearing orange feltpaper signs cut to look like big peaches. They said "I(m)Peach."

In 2000,actually 1999 Joe Liberman sold his soul to the devil in order to become Al Gore's running mate.

Anyone time one sells one soul to the devil there is always a price to pay. And Satan always collects.

Joe Liberman is getting what he deserves, no more, no less.

He should have thought.

BTW, that was the SECOND TIME I signed up. They had a big software change and made us all reregister. I was posting on FR in 1996.

So, this is Lieberman's reward for voting to acquit clinton in the impeachment trial, even though he knew he was guilty?

That about sums up this sorry chapter on a variety of levels.

Has anyone brought up that MRS BILL CLINTON has a long history of being anti-Semetic?

C'mon! You have gotten all of interested. Please tell the whole story. Pleeeease.

The real story that I want to hear is this: Billy-Jeff's REGULAR girlfriend was unavailable during the infamous government shutdown, and Lewinsky was pressed into service (no pun intended). The question is, who was the government-paid "servicer" of Bill prior to the shutdown?

I think what the article is pointing out is that MRS BILL CLINTON will support the *Rat* candidate, meaning that if Joe ends up running as an Indie, she won't support him. She'll support Neddie baby.

Yes, there are two delicious scenarios here:

(1) Joe wins the primary--- hugh slap in face to the moonbat base and MRS BILL CLINTON, or

(2) Joe loses primary but wins election--- hugh-er slap in face to moonbat base and MRS BILL CLINTON.

I like. Go, Joe, go!

Yes,that could be a factor.Also,it must be noted that Lamont could probably buy and sell Lieberman many times over...and we all know that the Clintons have always,shall we say,been "drawn" to "affluence".

And you know what, the Senate especially is a very tight club. It won't sit well with many that MRS BILL CLINTON, the Hildabeast, is so willing to publically throw their good friend of several decades, the gentleman from CT, under the bus so readily.

Esp. after Algore, as a rep of the Klintoons, asked Joe to go out on a limb and run for VP with him.

She's not making any friends about now, I'm sure.
