Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn, an Obama supporter, compared Clinton to the Glenn Close character in "Fatal Attraction" -- a spurned woman turned stalker who was apparently drowned in a bathtub only to jump up one more time to be shot dead.

"Glenn Close should have stayed in that tub, and Sen. Clinton has had a remarkable career and needs to move to the next step, which is helping elect the Democratic nominee," Cohen said during a local TV interview. He later apologized for his comments.

Comparing Hillary to a mad stalking woman?

Priceless!

Good analogy. Hillary reminds me of Glenn Close, in appearance and mannerisms to the Glenn Close character in that movie.

and in the Star Wars analogy, Obama is Luke Skywalker, and Hillary is Darth Vader.

“All the kitchen table issues that everybody talks to me about are ones that the next president can actually do something about, if he actually cares about it,” she said at a rally. “He”?

She caught herself. “More likely, if she cares about it,” Clinton added.


She knows it’s over.

Glenn Close - 'Fatal Attraction' - 1987. Not...
Hillary Clinton - 'Operation Chaos' - 2008.

She’s the girlfriend, the wife, who can’t let go of the relationship. The late night calls, the showing up at the job....when any girl I know finds themself in a position like that, having to leave a relationship they don’t want to I give them one little piece of advice..GET OUT WITH YOUR DIGNITY. When you look back on your life, the things you regret are usually the things you had control over...the things you say and the thing you do. Whatever you say can only hurt you, they rarely help.

She needs to get out, NOW.

I have to say this about Mrs. Clinton. I hate her with the force of a thousand suns, but she has been the hardest working candidate I’ve seen in my lifetime...I forgive her a slip of the tongue...who cares, really?

It’s pretty funny that she’s making her own party nervous. Now they are starting to see her for what she really is.

Clinton rejected any suggestion that she drop out
and quoted Bill Clinton, saying,
“A woman is like a tea bag.
Use it once and throw it away.”

And, expanding the analogy, John McCain is the Manchurian Candidate.

It’s fine for us to heap insults on Hillary, but when the Dems start doing it, it’s really ugly. I think it will backfire. After all, she was the nominee apparent and still has plenty of support from people who may well go to the polls in droves and help put her if not over the top, at least on the brink.

As usual, the Dems are the ones hurting themselves by publicly insulting their prominent, powerful and in many circles beloved candidate.

We are all supposed to forget that the Hildab*tch has kept her finger in the eye of all Americans as long as she’s had the chance. The dems don’t want her to say anything to hurt them? Is this short memory or just wishful thinking.

one good thing I like about it is seeing a clintin BEG. The smartest woman in the world and she couldn’t get the nomination and now she is out there begging while splitting her party for her own selfish agenda.

Now she has become a laughing stock from her own party as well as those on the other side of the aisle AND...she has shown herself for what she truly is. A Power Driven human being that cannot handle defeat. She will drag herself down lower and lower and lower and no one will give a damn about her or her husband. It’s their choice.
