Bill Pleads With Ted, Is Rebuffed

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 senators rejection of his wife is at least as embarrassing as her 28-point loss in the South Carolina primary on Saturday.

Whether Hillary loses to Obama or not, Bill and Hill will spend all their time and money seeking revenge on all those who dared oppose them.
Invest heavily in popcorn futures!

Hey Teddy! Don’t go for a ride in an Oldsmobile over a bridge any time soon. Someone from Arkansas may be driving...

So funny...knowing that Kerry married his “class,” and kennedys “murdered, wise-guyed and thugged” their way into it.

Politicians endorsing other politicians doesn’t mean much for the endorsee. It is usually an indication that the endorser wants to get on the bandwagon and receive his share of the spoils in victory. In that regard Teddy Kennedy is a big loser, he wanted Tsongas over Clinton, and there is where this rift all started. Congress has an eleven per cent approval, with Obama’s empty message of change, a Kennedy endorsement doesn’t do anything much but get Bill ticked off, which is fine with me. Of course to the MSM, homicidal drunks like Teddy Kennedy are to be looked up to because in that they are brothers, just look at McCafferty and Rick Sanchez.

And Hillary’s fat, corrupt, pardon peddling brother? :-)

Exactly, she’s far more dangerous than Obama worst comes to worst. And I still think if the Republican nomineee exposes their many weaknesses, they’ll win.
LOL...the serial groper begging the drunken swimmer...what a HOOT!

Hillary may have to steal this nomination.
The pattern is being set, with her trying to get the delegates from Michigan and Florida to count.

What could Bill have threatened a guy like Ted Kennedy with? And what personal suasion could Bill Clinton have applied? It boggles the mind.
They probably traded incriminating photographs, affadavits, and copies of offshore bank records for weeks.

Bill and Hill are certainly certifiable. See my page.
It IS a hoot to imagine Bill the groping sociopath alternately begging and threatening a drunk Jaba. Maybe it’s time for another sail on the yacht or a drive over the bridge. :-)
