Ouch! Maybe being an ex-president isn't what it used to be. Especially after you've tarnished the image throwing so much South Carolina mud.
“This is the biggest Democratic endorsement Obama could possibly get short of Bill Clinton,” said a high-level Democrat.
The Clinton campaign launched a last-ditch effort over the last few days to stop Kennedy's move, orchestrating a flood of phone calls to Kennedy from sources ranging from union chiefs to his Massachusetts constituents.
The former president also called Kennedy in a vain attempt to keep him out of the race, a source familiar with the conversation said.
During his two terms in the White House, President Clinton made repeated overtures to the Kennedy family. So the senator’s rejection of his wife is at least as embarrassing as her 28-point loss in the South Carolina primary on Saturday.
The only question left is when do the trail of bodies start to appear? If I was Teddy, I would not be flying too many planes.
clintons want to think that they’re on the inside...but to the kennedys, clinton will always be the fat little ignorant b*stard from the wrong side of the tracks.
What a pathetic scene this conjures up. Two disgusting s***bags trying to leverage each other. What could Bill have threatened a guy like Ted Kennedy with? And what personal suasion could Bill Clinton have applied? It boggles the mind.
That is probably the only thing I agree with Ted Kennedy on. lol!
I think the person who needs extra protection now is Obama...maybe they can double his Secret Service contingent.
The expiration date on the 900 FBI files must have run out on Kennedy, or tomorrow there will be a big revelation.
” We are running for president. Not Hillary. Not the junior senator from New York. But We—Bill and Hillary—in a de facto end-run around the 22nd Amendment.”
That is a pretty "big" endorsement. U.S. Army Retired |
If I were Bill, I’d sleep with one eye open, too. Just imagine the sympathy vote... (And yes, I think she’s THAT ruthless.)
“clintons want to think that they’re on the inside...but to the kennedys, clinton will always be the fat little ignorant b*stard from the wrong side of the tracks”
LOL, you’re right!! In this case Kerry’s and the Swimmer’s Boston Brahmin arrogance is working in the voters’ favor. :0)
Let me be contrarian and suggest that Hillie never really wanted the Swimmer’s endorsement, something that wouldn’t do her any good during the general election.
Yes, indeed. It wouldn't surprise me if the Clinton mafia rustled up an Oswald-like patsy to do the deed.
Blind hog snorting up an acorn.
Would you vote for Obama in exchange for never, ever, ever hearing or seeing the clintons again?
