Hillary Clinton brother 'in meeting to support John McCain'
The Telegraph ^ | August 21, 2008 | Toby Harnden

Hillary Clinton's youngest brother has met a top aide to the Republican candidate John McCain, fuelling accusations that some of those close to the former First Lady are actively working against Barack Obama.

Tony Rodham, who held a fundraising event for Mrs Clinton in Pennsylvania when she was battling against Mr Obama in the Democratic primaries, met Carly Fiorina, Mr McCain's senior economic adviser, in the state.

Miss Fiorina was taking part in a two-day Pennsylvania bus tour designed to woo disenchanted Clinton supporters into the McCain camp. His wife Megan and their two children also attended the meeting at the home of Jamie Brazil, a long-time Clinton family friend.

News of the meeting, reported by the Scranton Times-Tribune, came as it emerged that Mrs Clinton would be deploying 40 supporters onto the floor of the Democratic convention next week to ensure that none of her supporters paid any disrespect to Mr Obama.

But Clinton aides said that the 40 would also be handing out signs hailing the former First Lady, ensuring that her impact on the convention would be even more visible. Mrs Clinton is due to speak on Tuesday with her husband former President Bill Clinton taking to the stage on Wednesday.

Mr Obama has agreed that a "roll call vote" will take place in which Mrs Clinton's delegates will be able to proclaim their support for her.

Although Mrs Clinton has declared her unwavering support for Mr Obama and campaigned for him in Florida this week, some Democrats fear she wants to undermine him.

In May, Mr Rodham was spotted in an Irish bar in Washington while the Democratic party rules committee met to decide on how delegates from Michigan and Florida should be allocated.

Senator! Run as fast as you can in the opposite direction of anyone related to Her Heinous. When you think you’re far enough away, run twice farther and you might be safe.

Anyone with at least a room temperature IQ recognizes that the Clintons WANT Obama to lose, so that she can run next time.

If this is purely for revenge, it’s one thing. If she is planning a 2012 comeback, she can forget it. The ‘Rat electorate wont forgive her for this.

And then there’s:

Nuts and NUCLEAR ARMS

Excerpt:

Byline: John McCaslin, THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Adjara journal

My first experience with post-Soviet Georgia’s autonomous republic of Adjara was when Hillary Rodham Clinton’s younger brothers, Hugh and Tony Rodham, sought to firmly establish the family in the nut business by importing hazelnuts from its Black Sea capital of Batumi.

The first lady put the kibosh on her brothers’ nutty scheme, however, after it became clear that one too many international thugs, not the least of whom was suspected of being a nuclear-arms smuggler, was mixed up in the multimillion-dollar venture.

Ah Yes....Tony Rodham “the fornicator”..
Divorced sperm donor for Senator Barbara Boxer’s granddaughter.
Serial fornicator covered in the press....

Perhaps he will impregnate Carly Fiorina and remove her from consideration by McCain as his VP....

The only VP she qualifies for is Very Pregnant.

Carly Fiorina is a sleaze who should NEVER have been allowed in a party leadership position.

She is apprently the worst kind of RINO and the fact she is meeting with the brother of clinton is a full on red alert regarding her.

Is Fiorina in line to be commerce secretary?

seems to me if she is in line to be commerc secretary then that would be the type of person a lobbyist like clinton’s brother would want to “create a relationship”.

Fiorina is looking to solidify her commercial contacts.

She needs to be removed from the McCain camp ASAP.

Isn’t this the fat schmuck who was down in the White House basement eating fried chickens in the last days of the Clinton administration?

If I was McCain, I wouldn’t want that lardball anywhere near me.
