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.

It may be a freebie for her with the base, but I gotta believe there are many senators who have known Joe a long time and who, even though they are Rats, are appalled at how he was used and abused by the Klintoon/Gore creeps.

I dunno. I'm not buying this story --- but not because it couldn't be true.

I agree with you: the problem here is she opened her mouth.

Second-sign-up? Me too (I think?). I went to work for a company from 96 thru early 99, and first found the Drudgereport and then FR during lunch on the net while I was there. I cannot find any specifics though in my older folders... not enough backups when I've had computers die.

I think FR started as a chatroom on CompuServ ~ but at some point it became accessible to folks on the internet in general. Big issue for a couple of years was whether or not Drudge was showing a link to FR.

Some of the folks who started it up are still around.

agreed, I think the article is misleading. This is no surprise that a dem will support the person who wins the dem nomination.
I think it is more surprising a dem is not supporting the current sitting Senator and previous dem VP candidate.

Yikes, is it me, or does the pic of Suha on the lower left look like she stole Margaret Thatcher's face?

Yes I can see what you mean in that shot, there is that vague resemblance.

I still think it's a neat effect. Need to find some new 'people' to do it with.

That speech by Joe was simply a prop for Clinton during the Lewinsky controversy. He was trotted out there as the "Conscience of the Senate" and read the script provided for him.

I doubt that Hillary gives a whip regarding Lieberman one way or another on an emotional concern.

Very Good point!

O'l Joe turned on a dime to back AlGORE's ridiculous election era platform all to support Bubba's VP in the bid to keep the Whitehouse. It was most akward for Liberman to reverse many of his positions overnight. Now this is the thanks he gets.

The question is, who was the government-paid "servicer" of Bill prior to the shutdown?

Inquiring minds want to know....

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

His scolding of the President on the Senate floor saved the Crinton Presidency. He said what everybody was thinking and it took the wind right out of the impeachment sails. After the speech, the Senate thought it was time to move on.
