Hillary: I Lost Power - Not

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton told ABC's "World News Tonight" last Thursday that the lights at her Chappaqua, NY mansion went out along with everyone else's when the big blackout hit.

But moments later during the same interview, Clinton contradicted herself and admitted that she was "one of the fortunate ones" who still had power, thanks to a Secret Service generator on her property.

"No, the lights aren't on," Clinton initially told ABC's Ted Koppel, who asked during their telephone chat if she still had power "up there."

After listening to the top Democrat expound for a few minutes on the vagaries of nuclear power and why she thought the collapse of Enron should have been a warning sign, Koppel revisited the question, asking, "Well, has the Secret Service got a nice generator for backup power? Or are you handling it on candles tonight?"

With that Sen. Clinton came clean and admitted she was enjoying full power.

"Well, no, they do. I'm one of the fortunate ones," she offered, without skipping a beat. "Because of all of the equipment and the communications, that is something that they can count on to keep essential services going."

Koppel pretended not to notice Hillary's earlier fib about being left without lights, noting only, "Well, the neighbors will be coming over for that cup of sugar later on."

I think you may have hit on something.

If you found some vile, disgusting reptile under a rotting log, you would find Hillary under the reptile.

Are you implying she'd scrump with a lizard if someone held it still for her?

Hey! Forget it. We've got enough bandwidth problem as it is. Post all her lies and it'd probably wipe out internet access in the entire Northern Hemisphere! Don't do it!

If she'd have worn one of her brightly-colored Crusties, she wouldn't have needed a generator.

Easy, she's a Hilla Monster.

To take an old bit from "Taxi":

"You know those things you see when you turn over a rock that make you say yuck? Hillary makes those things say yuck."

[ChewedGum]

I'm quite surprised he asked her about it - that he called her bluff. I guess her brazen lie shocked even him.

This is a terrible insult to living reptiles. However, I can detect certain signs of kinship here: velociraptor.
