Obama: Xerox. Hillary: Memorex?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/22/2008 5:18:17 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

"It's not a very long run. It'll be over by February 5." -- Hillary Clinton, 'This Week,' Dec. 30, 2007.

That was Hillary less than two months ago. Here she was on this morning's Today.

MEREDITH VIEIRA: So no matter what happens in Texas and Ohio, you will go on.

HILLARY CLINTON: Well Meredith, I don't make predictions. I never have, I never will. I just get up every day and, you know, do the best I can to let people know what I have done and what I am doing and what I will do.

If it's true, as Hillary Clinton claimed during last night's debate, that Barack Obama needs Xerox to copy other's rhetoric, maybe Clinton could use another piece of 20th-century technology: Memorex. Story Continues Below Ad ↓

“I can, to let people know what I have done” ................. You bet, inquiring minds would love to know the answer to that one, especially if they are from NY.

Though I have doubts she’ll ever stop her campaign (even if Obama is the choice at their convention), I so want to see her on a stage announcing that she’s ending her candidacy, tears welling, furrowed brow, cracking voice. I’ll take it and play it over and over as I sip champagne and smoke a cigar. Then we can turn our concentration on B Hussein.

I found this interesting: after the debate last night, when the all-seeing all-knowing CNN pundits were telling us stupid people what was important about the debate...

They could have discussed their differences on Cuba.
They could have discussed Obamalama’s plans to rob the socical security fund to redistribute income
They could have discussed the candidate’s differences on Iraq.
They could’ve discussed the ideas vs. immigration thing.

You know. MEANINGFUL stuff.

But what DID they discuss? The “Xerox” comment. Over and over and over. Played it back AT LEAST twice.

Anyone who wonders why the country seems like a nation full of dumbed down idiots need look no further than our “press”.

They have completely abrogated their duty to question and inform. It’s ALL about entertainment.

(sigh)

That’s not a bad mug-shot... What’s she being charged with?

Well Meredith, I don't make predictions. I never have, I never will.

Isn't this the same person who said, "It will be me" when asked about the Dem nominee?

Naturally, she won't be called on it.....in the MSM, anyway.

If Hillary’s lips are flapping, she’s lying.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, by now.

let people know what I have done and what I am doing and what I will do.

The people already know, Hillary.

That's why you're losing to a half-term senator.

By design.

The newsies don't want to delve too much into 'hard' news, into real issues, into depth coverage. They want minutia and mind-mush.

Clinton's 'Xerox' allegation came across as petty and low. Obama's response shut her down, when he said the original author was one of his advisors. Ironically, Clinton ended the evening with a statement that was a near 'Xerox' of something BJ had said when he was running for president.

It’s o.k., Hillary... when you lose the Socialist Party nomination, you can always carpetbag your lying, Marxist a$$ over to Cuba. They need a new dictator.

“The newsies don’t want to delve too much into ‘hard’ news, into real issues, into depth coverage. They want minutia and mind-mush.”

I saw Meredith’s “interview” with Hillary this morning. She asked Hillary a couple of tough questions. As usual Hillary did not even come close to providing an answer to any (not one) of the questions. What a terrible job by Meredith. (No, I’m not surprised.)
