Oh I agree. The lies told about Bush...so thick was the BS that one could cut it with a knife.

Botched joke defense?

A lame, really lame attempt on their part to try and deflect away....

You forget the double standard my friend, Democrats are incapable of even unintentional racism to the liberal/MSM...

Remember Hillary knows plenty of 'Jew bastards' and Senator Byrd knows plenty of 'white niggers' but you'd be hard pushed to read about it...

Lame attempt at humor? It was not even funny. I think that Hillary will get rather prickly as the race goes on and the public sees her as she really is. She just doesn't have Bill's personallity (and way with women).

If Hillary can say "He's a FGB" and get 100% of the jewiish voters in a town of NJ, she can get away with anything!

Well, seeing that leftists, particularly female leftists, seem to be congenitally unfunny, their lame attempts at humor are *really* not funny.

Remember the joke:

Q: How many feminists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: That's not funny!

"it was " a lame attempt at humor."

Many of Hillary's remarks are lame. Including her recent "plan for Iraq".

Oops, it was just a botched joke.

It sounds as though Kerry is advising her and Kagan. The "botched joke" defense is certainly making the rounds of capitol hill, these days but, as I recall, it didn't work too well for Kerry. Arrogance aside, what does HitLIARy think it will do for her!!???

Will this sink Hillary like George Allen's "macaca" remark sunk his senate re-election?

Are you kidding? A Hillary Clinton could molest a child on a pay per-view channel on an Easter Sunday and no one would notice. But if Bush farted in an elevator with Jesse Jackson, it would be considered a hate crime!

Actually I bet she gets hell for using the word "LAME" since that is a derogatory term for someone with "special needs"

Speaking of Gandhi, he had a funny quote that still makes me laugh. Someone asked Gandhi what he thought about Western civilization, and Gandhi replied "I think that would be a very good idea."

Hillary's pic at post #19 is a far, far cry from the one on her book cover. On that she looked like she'd had a face transplant...someone else's face.
