Remember, President Bush had many things brought up about his past (by the Democrats) when he ran for president in 2000.

I was really surprised it was not made a bigger deal of at the time (not for the joke but in the video, if I recall she was totally drunk).

As long as she didn't use the word "macaca," she's golden.

That was a day late and a dollar short. Or a lot of days late. She should have apologized 30 seconds after she let that piece of racist idiocy out of her vicious mouth. I suppose, though, that we have to consider ourselves lucky she didn't refer to Gandhi in the obscene terms she used to describe her Jewish colleague.

"Our troops are stupid...." Oops, it was just a botched joke.
Talk about stoopid. Skerry and The Beast fit the definition of stupid.

Will this sink Hillary like George Allen's "macaca" remark sunk his senate re-election?
It won't make a blip on the radar screen in the Main Stream News.

I knew that someone would say this.
When someone runs for office, especially the office of President of the United States, their past record is fair game.
Democrats would love for this to not come up in the general election.

Yes, I think their record is fair game. Trying to use a stupid joke isn't worth the wasted breath.

Remember, President Bush had many things brought up about his past (by the Democrats) when he ran for president in 2000. The main difference in this case will be that Republicans have a boatload of things that they can bring up about Her Thighness which will actually be true.
What say you?
The "botched joke defense" appears to be a very popular one among the Dems this election cycle. Did she apologize for these comments at the time, or did she wait until now when she is fighting for money and support? I don't recall.

Talk radio will surely bring this up, and you can imagine that this will go across the net sooner or later as the time draws nearer and nearer for the 2008 elections.

You really proved your point there. You really backed that assertion up.

Yep, Dems do not like this info coming back to light.
