She will spend the rest of the day giving interviews, explaining why she is either running for Senate or thinking about running for President

"Sounds like she needs money, so she'll form a committee and blackmail other dems for a job."

That was exactly my first thought. Female aannnddd black, they'll have to give her something, huh? (She can't be expected to get a real job or go back on welfare.)

[ewing]

Katherine is that good?

[Mr_Magoo]

Does anyone actually think that Hillary would allow her to run for pres?

Mel says he's going to stick around HUD as long as Dubya needs him -- he could run against Bill Nelson in 2006, or even for governor, as Jeb doesn't seem too excited about the possibility of being in the senate some day.

I can't wait to see Carol Mostly Fraud with her Michigan Avenue fur coats campaigning with Reverend Al in front of some die hard Iowa farm folk!

Those pictures will be worth a thousand words..

IF this is true G*d has truly blessed the GOP for this individual is gonna be like pourimg gasoline on a brush fire to put it out! Ordinary working folks are going to hear the hate whitey screed/USA is evil racist facist homophobic nation that needs to embrace the loony tune NEO-STALINIST agenda of the DNC & they are going to simply FREAK!!! Carol Moseley Braun & Al Sharton are gonna do more to advance the Republican cause than anything else on the horizon{this doesn't count if someone shows up with Osama Bin Ladens severed head on a trash can lid}

[JohnnyZ]

Osama Bin Ladens severed head on a trash can lid

Is that a James Carville reference?

[mikeb704]

I am prompted to wonder if she is actually able to read that written statement, or rather is trained to recite it by rote.

She's an attorney at law, which, come to think of it, doesn't answer your question.

Michael M. Bates: My Side of the Swamp

[ewing]

Exactly, the only thing worse for the Dims would be having Saddam or OBL himself campaigning in Iowa

[ewing]

I think Hillary is already angling for that job!

[ewing]

Princess Carol doesn't read her own announcements to the ink stained wretches..

[anniegetyourgun]

I'm not sure she knows where Iraq is or could find it on a map.

[TC Rider]

Sounds like she's forming a Presidential shakedown committee!

That's what I've been wondering. How much cash she can suck in and then piss away on herself and friends. It's not like she hasn't done it before.

I wonder what the threshold is before she's elgible for Fed funds. I sure she can't wait to get back on the taxpayers teat.

[OldFriend]

Did the Time Rag, er Mag, guy happen to mention his opinion of her heinous attending Sharpton's celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr.?????????????????

[mhking]

See, even idiots can run for President!

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[OldFriend]

Janet Reno will be pontificating on the death penalty on C-SPIN today. aaaaarrrrgggggggghhhhhhh

[ewing]

That ought to be a treat.

[Protagoras]

They didnt call her 'Princess' Moseley Braun for nothing!

In Illinois, we used to call her Carol Moseley Gone, for about three weeks til everyone forgot who she was.

[hgro]

A black joke rears her ugly head.

[pbear8]

This is from The Onion right?? Please tell me it is. Please.
