She's already snagged plum speaking gigs for herself, her husband and their daughter, so what else does Hillary Clinton want at the Denver convention?
Her own production team for the introductory video.
Democratic officials told the Daily News Wednesday that the video preceding Hillary's Aug. 26 prime-talk talk will be produced by Arkansas pals Harry Thomason and Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, best known for creating the TV sitcom "Designing Women."
These officials said that while many other convention speakers will also rate videos, Clinton negotiators insisted on Hillary having her own video team instead of letting Barack Obama's convention planners handle the production.
[Snip]
Harry Thomason is the more controversial of the pair: he was involved in the firing of White House travel office employees in President Clinton's first term, testified before a grand jury investigating the Monica Lewinsky scandal and lobbied Bill Clinton to pardon two Arkansas men in the final hours of his presidency.

You Freepers didn't think any mere mortal like Reille Hunter could be entrusted with
such an important task as making a video about ME, did you?
Ewwwww, that's an ugly thought, have to gouge my mind's eye out.
Hillary!
Remember to keep Bill away from the videographer.
Get out the popcorn - this should be an Oscar winning Clinton production!
If Obama doesn’t have the b**ls to keep this hag from usurping the convention, he certainly won’t have the b**ls to stand up to someone like Putin.
Give credit where due.
Hillary! is far more dangerous than Putin...
Hillary to Video Producer Lisa Druck (Rielle Hunter): "Don't call me, I'll call you!"
exactly what IS behind this woman’s motivation? Hmmmmmmm.....
Wonder if her wonderful brothers will have a prominent role in her video.
She’s a media whore anyway.
And he’s just a whore.
This is gonna be fun.
As Al Gore learned in 2000, having one Clinton, let alone two, hover over you as you campaign for the presidency can be a trying experience.
The Gore campaign had hoped to choreograph Bill Clinton out of the picture at its convention, in Los Angeles, giving him the prime-time speaking slot Monday and then staging a symbolic “passing of the torch” to Gore the next day in Michigan.
But Bill Clinton started to steal the limelight on the prior Thursday, in a lengthy public confessional in which he said that voters should not hold Gore accountable for Clinton’s personal failings. The president then arrived in Los Angeles on Friday and was the toast of the town for three days leading up to his convention speech. He dominated the torch moment in Michigan and continued to preoccupy much of the news media for the rest of the campaign.

Great history lesson...let’s hope history repeats itself in two weeks.
I still wonder if, besides Hillary’s now nomination, the Clintons don’t have SOMETHING else up their sleeves.
Yes, Chelsea...poor dear. She certainly is a victim in all this.
If 112 Super Delegates, who have been watching the polls, figure it out that Obama can’t win, and withold their votes on the first ballot and the Convention is wide-open on the second ballot.............Hillary could get the nomination.
That’s her motivation. Hey, don’t ever underestimate the Clintonistas. It could happen.
OK, so what happens if Hillary DOES get the nomination?
Where does the conservative agenda stand then?
Two possibilities:
1. Blacks get pissed Hillary stole nomination and while most still vote for her, turnout among Blacks is at record lows and McCain eeks out a win anyway
2. She wins.
If Hillary does get the nomination, the Obama libs and 90% of the American Blacks will stay home on Election Day and it will be a McCain landslide.
The Conservative agenda? Where does it stand now? It’s not standing at all. Since Ronnie Reagan rode off into the sunset the Conservative agenda has been knocked down and kicked in the face by a large segment of the GOP.
Oh, goody. The Bloodworth-Thomasons!
Yes, bring out the brothers!
Markie Post could bounce on a bed (like the Lincoln bedroom photo).
And maybe they’re resurrect their other Arkansas pal and interior decorator....Kaki Hockersmith. I ROTFLMAO every time I see her name!
