Stop the insanity now!

THERE ARE TWO THINGS to be said about the first major intramural spat of the 2008 Democratic primary season. The first is that David Geffen has a point (and we're not saying that just because there is a remote chance that we might work for him someday). The second is that if California moves up its primary, presidential candidates visiting here will soon have to pander to more than just Hollywood moguls.
Geffen, once among Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton's biggest financial backers, threw Hollywood's first mega-fundraiser of the election cycle on Tuesday — for Barack Obama. His criticism of Hillary Clinton, reported Wednesday by New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, sparked an amusingly overwrought exchange between the Clinton and Obama camps.
Geffen was on to something with his passing mention of the fact that Obama is not from "the Bush royal family" or the "Clinton royal family." Regardless of what you think of Bill Clinton's presidency, or his wife's talent, the dynastic aspect of Hillary Clinton's candidacy is an issue that will increasingly come to occupy center stage in this campaign. Is the country prepared to be governed, potentially, for 28 years by two families who alternate turns in the White House?
The Clinton campaign appears unwilling to acknowledge this concern.

Hillary wants to be seen as an independent, tough woman. She makes jokes about her marriage to a "bad boy", and then attacks others for joining in. Only Her Heinous can talk about her HINO...he is off limits to others.
It is still "2-4-the-price-of-one", "buy1 get1 free" that these Arkansas Grfiters and hucksters have been selling to the American people for years. Only this time is different.
The question of Slick's role and behavior in a (God forbid) Hillary Presidency, is a legitimate question.
The idea of another Clinton, or another Bush,(as much as I think Jeb Bush would be the ideal candidate if his name were not Bush),is out of keeping with American thought and tradition.
We don't have royalty here. No one is "entitled" to be next for POTUS.
Stop the insanity now!
Is it just me or is anyone else having problems accessing the "forum" page? I seem to go right back to comments. I have no idea why.
Oops! Seems to be working now. I have no idea what I did.
Absolutely. In a country of 300 million, surely there must be someone not of the "dynasties" able to come to the fore.
Hey Hill, I don't question your "period". Hell , you've been on that for 50 years.
That's one of her more flattering pix. Are you sweet on her?
I think that he is just miffed because bill chose monica over him. But as they say"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" or a queer.
A little late drinking from the Cup of Reality, eh L.A. Times?
: )
L A Slimes will back whatever left wing mook is left standing.
It's difficult to elicit much sympathy for Mr Geffen since his beef was not getting a pardon for Leonard Peltier, who was involved with the murder of two FBI agents.
Geffen represents HollyWeird, and HollyLeft. I'm sure part of his beef with Her Heinous is that she isn't far Left enough for him.
I guess Peltier wasn't worthy enough of a pardon from Slick. He was too involved pardoning people like Rich and Green who sold their country out to the Iranians.
Geffen is correct on this one, though. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
I'm a little slow, what's "HINO"?
Stop the insanity now!
HINO = Husband In Name Only
Their whole "marriage" is a fraud.
Some people might want to take the Hillary 2008 poll at the bottom of the LA Times webpage. It asks you how you feel about Hillary!
Thank you.
