Hillary Volunteers 9-11 Heroes to Clear Bush's Brush

In a bid to win more money from the White House for Ground Zero rescue and recovery workers, Sen. Hillary Clinton has promised to take some of them to President Bush's Crawford, Texas ranch to help clear brush while she and the president discuss the issue.

Clinton said that she would be willing to "put on a pair of work gloves" herself if it would convince Bush to meet with her, but apparently she's reserving any real work for the 9-11 heroes.

"I am sure the guys I bring with me will be happy to help out," she said Thursday.

Clinton wants $25 million in extra funding for long-term screening and clinical exams for workers at the site, the Associated Press reported.  The Bush administration is already funding a similar program with $32 million. 

The White House said late Thursday that it was unlikely Mrs. Clinton would be invited to the Bush ranch anytime soon.

I think he should just call her a bag of you know what and be done with it.

This from NEWSMAX, "America's Home (Shopping) page." Follow the links and you will see the real purpose of this article. Larry Patterson, of all people. This stuff didn't even require a rewrite. I recognized entire passages that were cut and pasted from old Chris Ruddy stories from the mid 90s.

When it comes to Hillary, there is no one else who could possibly think less of her, but even I have grown tired of the NEWSMAX Clinton industry.

Newsmax, please don't insult me further with your tapes and exposes' for profit.

You know, I don't think I have ever seen El Chupacabra cry, fake or otherwise. Bubba will be on there biting his lip, wiping the tears, and consoling everything with a pretty face and ample bosoms.

...she would be willing to "put on a pair of gloves herself"....

The only time Hillary puts on gloves is when she wants to avoid leaving fingerprints.

I think he should just call her a bag of you know what and be done with it.

In other words, treat her as Bubba treats her.

And, on her wedding night.

It's rude to invite yourself to another's home. Especially when they've been spending over a year trying to clean up a Guiness Book-worthy mess of a DOD, DOJ, EPA, INS, FBI, CIA, FCC, FEC...and those little international events inflamed by the great dividers themselves, Bill and Hill.

One morning at the nub end of Bill Clinton's presidency, Clinton chief of staff John Podesta walked into a senior staff meeting in the Roosevelt Room waving a copy of USA Today. Holding the paper aloft, Podesta read the headline out loud, "Clinton actions annoy Bush." The article detailed the new rules and Executive Orders the outgoing President was issuing in his final days, actions aimed in equal measure at locking in Clinton's legacy (in areas like environmental protection) and bedeviling his successor. "What's Bush so annoyed about?" Podesta asked with a devilish smile. "He's got four years to try to undo all the stuff we've done."

Clinton said that she would be willing to "put on a pair of work gloves"

However, it doesn't say on whom she will put the pair of gloves. When it comes to a Clinton, you have to split hairs to the nth degree.

You know what would be perfect? Hillary in stripes and ankle chains chopping brush on the ranch.

[blau993]

I can think of some ranch chores for her. Hill, bring your high wellies and a wide shovel.

[Paul Atreides]

Given what comes out of her mouth, shoveling manure would be appropriate.

[McLynnan]

That made me literally laugh out loud.

[Randjuke]

However, it doesn't say on whom she will put the pair of gloves

True. It also doesn't specify what part of the body she will put the gloves on to - could be on her head, inside her brassiere, down her pants, etc.

[Paul Atreides]

I would give her a red tee shirt and point her to the pasture containing the meanest bull.

actually, a double-wide would be appropriate on so many levels ...

The Clin-toons better be careful who they photo-op with. They might get booed off the stage again. Maybe the New Yorkers are remembering the pardon of the FALN bomb terrorists? Of all the rotten luck. A terrorist-hugging senator of New York? I'm surprised they didn't force her to resign yet.
