That miserable woman always looks like she just sucked a lemon.

[cyborg]

Really. Direct these complaints to Bill Clinton I'd say.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

She's a nut case. Send her to Port Au Prince to single handedly clean up the mess.

[kesg]

If her accusations are true, I would call it an excellent development. Reinstalling the Marxist thug Aristide in Haiti was one of Clinton's most unforgivable misadventures.

[marktwain]

Of course, it was U.S. troops who placed Aristide in power.

I guess it is O.K. for the U.S. to place a corrupt communist cliche murder supporter in power, but not to replace him.

[livius]

Nitwit she is. We don't have to do anything to encourage a coup in that god-forsaken country, run by a Clinton-annointed thug and his bands of thuglets.

FWIW, I read on a European site that Aristeide's family members have all fled Haiti in the last day or two, so maybe this time it's really going to happen.

[areafiftyone]

Ahhh but in her warped chipped brain it is Bush's fault not Clinton.

The best policy regarding Haiti is to stay out of it. if Haitians attempt to escape their rathole and invade the US, their boats should be turned back or sunk.

[freeangel]

I suggest that she go and observe the action way up close. We might get lucky.

Haiti can be a confusing place. I spent five years doing business there and vistied the island for a week of every month. YOu quickly learn to love the people and question the government. Unfortutnately most every govt. Haiti has ever had has been semi or outright corrupt. Most of the people want freedom and democracy but due to circumstances beyond their control dont' even know what the words mean. As usual the U.S. barely has a clue about the country and consequently most everything we do there is wrong.

Rep. Maxine Waters Charges U.S. Is Encouraging A Coup in Haiti

And this is bad because...?

Coups are to politics what high colonics are to intestinal tracts.

[Howie66]

No lemon. It's all of that crack that she inhales.

[Blue Screen of Death]

That miserable woman always looks like she just sucked a lemon.

Every time I think my job sucks, I think of her poor gynecologist and then my job does not seem so bad.

From a Maxine Waters biography:

"Rep. Waters also was arrested in front of the White House urging justice for Haitian refugees and the restoration of democracy in Haiti. She was a key figure in Congressional efforts to restore to power Haiti’s democratically-elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide."

[cyborg]

Really. No doubt you'll be consistent and want that for Cubans as well.

[cyborg]

I think I've seen that show on public access tv. Not impressed.

[per loin]

Yup.

[freekitty]

Is she still around?
