An Open Letter to hdr22@clintonemail.com (Dowd)

WASHINGTON — SINCE open letters to secretive and duplicitous regimes are in fashion, we would like to post an Open Letter to the Leaders of the Clinton Republic of Chappaqua:

[gogeo]

It worked for BJ and Obama.

[gogeo]

The BJ Foundation will ultimately be a bigger scam than Madoff.

[Liz]

Heh-—good point.

[oleus]

Yep, and Maureen pointed it out twice, and where the money was coming from, too. These elite media types must know it’s 100% fair game now. I worked in “news” for 15 years (and couldn’t really post here much because of where I worked, and yes they checked) but never got high enough to see anything like “marching orders” - except once. 2008.

I’d like to see the Clinton Foundation taken down more than I would the Hillary 2016 campaign.

[Old Yeller]

will convict Hillary and send her to prison for six months.

Where she would hopefully get Jim McDougaled.

[TangoLimaSierra]

No Drama Obama and his advisers are clearly appalled to be drawn into your shadowy shenanigans, just as Al Gore once was. Whatever else you say about this president, he has no shadows.

Yeah, ok, Maureen.

[Future Snake Eater]

never got high enough to see anything like “marching orders” - except once. 2008.

I'm assuming it's something like "All hail and worship our new lord and savior, Barak Obama--and death to his enemies, may he forever be praised!"

[clintonh8r]

Even an asnomic pig finds a truffle every once in a while....

[tinyowl]

Republicans in congress are ‘anarchists and haters.’

OK.

[oleus]

Not quite, it was actually late summer ‘08 when it was probably already in the bag for Barry, but a somewhat “prominent” ultra-liberal who thought he was becoming a big deal wanted to go full-court with the Jeremiah Wright church ties (the ties were old news by then, but more specifics about their CLOSE ties were coming out and he wanted to run with it). I was in the room because of a temporary cover/reassignment and it was rare for someone like to me to be in THAT kind of room, especially with editorial direction being discussed, but what I saw once he went briefly off the reservation was disturbing. People were called in from outside the room, to take the room back over and explain what was on and off limits and remind everyone who ran the show.

that guy didn’t stay on air but a few months after Obama was elected, but even with a tin foil hat i won’t connect the two, he did it to himself.

[VTenigma]

10-4!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Oh man. Blind squirrel, acorn. A huge acorn.

[HiTech RedNeck]

anosmic

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well, no contemporary ones. In that sense he is better behaved than Billary. He is low and sleazy and pandering right out in the open. He doesn’t even have the shame to hide any of it.

[oleus]

Obama has no shadows because he’s not real. I think she wrote this line intentionally to say something other than what it may seem.

[oleus]

The “leaves no shadow” comment doesn’t even make sense in the context of the column unless it is meant to have double meaning, My 2 cents.

[organicchemist]

Perhaps she meant he has no reflection in a mirror. That would make more sense to me.

[clintonh8r]

.....unless the pig is dyslexic.

:>)

[HiTech RedNeck]

One of those finely calculated ambiguities.

Maybe she is getting wiser in her dotage. Liberalism underwhelms partly because nobody with good character will support it. It needs sleazes.

[iowamark]

It's the Michael Douglas/Maureen Dowd/Catherine Zeta-Jones Rule.
