SCARBOROUGH: Are you calling — are you calling Obama a shallow and flaky candidate? Do you —

HITCHENS: I’ve repeatedly called him a shallow and flaky candidate, and — though I thought he was an incredibly successful shallow and flaky candidate. I would add other things that are going to now get a second look that they’ve long deserved: this dumb, nasty, ethnic, rock ‘n’ roll, racist church that he goes to in Chicago, that’s going to — he won’t be able to walk away from that anymore. The crummy associates he’s got in Illinois, going on trial for corruption with their Iraqi friends. None of this is going to get the free ride from the press that it was getting until about this time yesterday morning.

SCARBOROUGH: Wow.

Ah, the Hitch is at it again. One of the few Liberals, along with Lieberman, that I can stomach...Christopher was uncharacteristically kind not to remind us that Chelsea is looming just over the horizon. The Clinton family, all three of them, will indeed be on the make, indefinitely.

And NOW the Bill Clinton we’re treated to is a white haired prematurely open-mouthed and doddering youngish old fool,who seems on the verge on losing his bodily functions, and whose only function left is to act on his wife’s behalf, and his own,just like one of his slavish spin doctors/hit men did 15 years ago. Interestingly, if it weren’t for what we already know about HER character, she has seemed to be getting younger, more congenial, more “viable”, than her tired and jaded husband. It may be too late for her, but I doubt it. I too, like Hitchens, think she’ll be back, and has never really left, and won’t.
I still think she will secure the nomination....somehow....

This brings to mind that old adage: “Be careful of what you wish for....” We all wanted very badly to see the end of the Clinton era and that appears - APPEARS - to be in sight. And look what we have in her place: the most inexperienced, ineffectual nobody that could conceivably be our next CinC. What Hath God Wrought?

That is a picture of a sociopath, if not a psychopath. I realized it the first time I laid eyes on Clinton in 1992, and have known so since. The so-called MSM that foisted the Clintons on America just did again with Obama.

she didn’t concede..she suspended and is simply now waiting in the wings for something to happen which may or may not be planned..

IMHO, she ain’t out of it, and won’t be out until the convention..at the earliest..

I want to give credit to the MSM for inflicting the Clintons on us. Now they are trying to inflict Obama on us.

True. A guy who hates the Clintons and Mother Theresa does have range.

All those millions he made making speeches has come to an end. That’s one reason he is pissed.

He is spot on and I’ll never understand the overwhelming support she has received from conservatives with short memories. She and Bill are without a doubt the greater of the two evils. I don’t think Obama is the boogy man everyone would like to think he is. He’s got a lot of prominent backers putting it on the ilne for him and that makes him controllable. The Clintons would have absolute power and total free reign.

Chris had better watch his 6. He has put himself in danger by speaking the truth about two very dangerous families.

Don't blame God for this Obama-nation, man has a free will and we get what we ask for! The fact that this liberal twit, actually sees the light in regards to the Clintons is the real miracle.

Oh darn, does this now mean that there will be books on ‘inside the crooked Clinton Presidency’ written by those in his cabinet. /sarc
