Just reported on Fox News - Amanda Carpenter of Townhall - "rumor going around there are videotapes coming out of Michelle Obama saying Wright type speech"
Plus, he could no more disown her than he could his minister.
You mean "hugh" of course.
HillBilly is the stronger general election candidate, but here’s the problem if the powers that be give her the nod.. The blacks will riot (yes some of them will) but more importantly many will sit out the election, and yes even HillBilly cannot win a national election if black voters stay home in any sort of numbers.
Face it the dems have been playing up the useless idiots with their “selected not elected” crap for 8 years, so if they follow the party rules (which do allow the superdelegates to vote however they want, and not rubber stamp the popular vote) and decide to put HillBilly up as the canidate, she’ll have no chance of winning in the fall.
OOOH! I feel a tingle running up my leg!..........
That’s funny,.....me too!
Idiots.
About time someone around here got series.
Sounds series!
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION......
......if Larry Johnson’s blog and his unnamed ‘sources’ is the only basis for this rumor then it is NOTHING yet. This would be like trusting something just ‘cause it’s on DU or DailyKosFreaks, it a site with no intrinsic credibility at all.
I won’t be at all surprised if there is such video out there, but let’s not start believing it until we see it.... or at least we need a source with far more credibility than Larry Johnson.
You’re welcome :) And thanks for the get-well for Jim. He’s been missed.
Great minds. . .
;)
lol
To me, she is the more angry and sinister of the two obamas.
Hill ‘n’ Bill prints on this one...
This is what he gets for not marrying Oprah.
I know I’m being petty — but I don’t want ANY kind of First Lady in my White House who publicly refers to her husband in the morning when he wakes up as “stinky”.
That was a trashy, low-class, vulgar, disrespectful thing to say about one’s husband — especially if he is thinking he is qualified to be the President of the United States.
The only thing more vile is picturing Hillary sitting behind the same desk where her husband had oral sex performed on him while running the country. She will need a deluxe size bucket of disinfectant wipees to occupy the Oval Office. THAT is equally disgusting.
....corrected, I mixed up my singular/plural because I meant to refer only to LJ’s worthless blog........

It's better if it comes from Hillary.
You asked for it. From Wiki.
Prescription drug addiction and theft
In 1989, Cindy McCain became addicted to opioid painkillers such as Percocet and Vicodin,[29] which she initially took to alleviate pain following two spinal surgeries for ruptured discs[30][31] and to ease emotional stress during the Keating Five scandal,[29] which involved her as a bookkeeper who had difficulty finding receipts.[16] The addiction progressed to where she resorted to stealing drugs from her own AVMT.[30] During 1992, Tom Gosinski, the director of government and international affairs for AVMT, discovered her drug theft.[32] Subsequently in 1992, her parents staged an intervention to force her to get help;[16] she told her husband about her problem, attended a drug treatment facility, began outpatient sessions, and ended her three years of active addiction.[29] A hysterectomy in 1993 resolved her back pain.[29][31]
In January 1993, McCain terminated Gosinski’s employment on grounds of budgetary reasons.[32] In spring 1993, Gosinski tipped off the Drug Enforcement Administration to investigate McCain’s drug theft,[32] and a federal investigation ensued. McCain’s defense team, led by Washington lawyer John Dowd,[32] secured an agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s office that limited her punishment to financial restitution and enrollment in a diversion program, [7][32] without any public disclosure.
Meanwhile, in early 1994 Gosinski filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against McCain, which he told her he would settle for $250,000.[32] In April 1994, Dowd requested that Maricopa County officials investigate Gosinski for extortion.[32] The Phoenix New Times was about to publish a negatively-cast article about the whole affair.[32][29] Cindy McCain pre-empted this[29] by publicly revealing her past addiction, stating she hoped it would give fellow drug addicts courage in their struggles: “Although my conduct did not result in compromising any missions of AVMT, my actions were wrong, and I regret them.”[7] A flurry of press attention followed, including charges by Gosinski that she had asked him to lie concerning her drug use when the McCains were applying to adopt their baby from Bangladesh[29] and statements by past AVMT employees that Gosinski had once threatened to blackmail her. The Arizona Republic published an editorial cartoon ridiculing the motivations for her AVMT work[33] and an award dinner in her honor was canceled citing poor ticket sales.[7] In the end, both Gosinski’s lawsuit and the extortion investigation against him were dropped.[29]
AVMT concluded its activities in 1995.[24] That year, McCain founded a new organization, the Hensley Family Foundation, which donates monies towards children’s programs in Arizona and nationally,[7] but she was largely a stay-at-home mom during the balance of the 1990s.[16] She also held positions as vice president, director, and vice chair of Hensley & Co.[22][21]
Cindy McCain founded the American Voluntary Medical Team (AVMT).[1] It was a non-profit organization that organized trips for doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel to provide MASH-like emergency medical care to disaster-struck or war-torn third-world areas such as Micronesia, Vietnam (before relations were normalized between them and the U.S.[13]), Kuwait (arriving five days after the conclusion of the Gulf War[13]), Iraq, Nicaragua, India, Bangladesh and El Salvador.[7][24][25][26][27] She led 55 of these missions over the next seven years,[12] with each being of at least two weeks’ duration.[27] AVMT also supplied treatment to poor sick children around the world.[28]
