Where's your outrage, Hillary? (By Hook or By Crook...)

As first lady, Clinton condemned prostitution. So why did she send Eliot Spitzer and his family her 'best wishes'?

Deja vu?

If Spitzergate is creeping you out, think how Hillary Clinton must feel. Just when she was supposedly "hitting her stride," along comes a world-class sex scandal that reminds us of the darkest days of her husband's administration.

Click here to find out more! For all Democrats, the distraction factor of the downfall of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who endorsed Clinton, is bad enough. But as 99.9% of the world's population knows, Clinton has some unique baggage when it comes to political sex scandals -- and for her, the potential fallout from Spitzer's troubles could be radioactive.

Until L'Affaire Spitzer, Clinton's campaign had done an impressive job of replacing, in the minds of voters, terms like "cigar" and "stained dress" with terms like "commander in chief." But Spitzer's misdeeds -- and the sight of his wife Silda's drawn features -- remind us painfully of Team Clinton's past woes and make us wonder just what the First Fella will be up to while President Hillary's taking those important 3 a.m. phone calls.

Thanks...I posted that but apparently server replaced with other picture.

Spitzer was the cerebral type

Charles Krauthammer also indicated a possibility of self-loathing. People like Spitzer and the Clintons shouldn't be anywhere near any center of power, but they apparently will do, say or sell anything to get it.

WELCOME-TO-THE-TRUTH, reverend!

You are absolutely correct. However, that type of disorder gravitates to politics.

[Bogie]

BTW, I think the people who put our constitution together knew about this disorder, in their own naturalistic 18th century sort of a way.

I love that picture.

It shows what the Clinton marriage is all about.

Hillary is removing Bill’s hand, you are touching me you bastard!

[harrysnyder]

This is all pretty funny. Hillary and Spitzer, Obama and his Pastor, and the sniping between Hillary and Obama. Or rather I should say it’d be funny if these people weren’t actually running for President.

She is removing Bill’s hand and imagining Huma.

Looks like Al just did some “bubblers” and is looking for a plate of brownies!
