ALBANY, N.Y. — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that President Bush's chief political strategist Karl Rove "spends a lot of time obsessing about me."

The former first lady and potential presidential contender was reacting during a radio interview to a new book quoting Karl Rove as saying she will be the 2008 Democratic nominee for president,

"He spends more time thinking about my political future than I do," Clinton said, noting that Rove and other White House aides have met regularly with her possible opponents in November's 2006 Senate race.

The junior Senator from New York said she believed Rove, Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman and other Republicans are focusing on her to divert attention from Republican problems as the 2006 congressional elections approach.

"Karl Rove is a brilliant strategist. So, if I were thinking about this," Clinton told WROW-AM radio in Albany, "I'd say why are they spending so much time talking about me?"

"What they're hoping is that all of their missteps, which are now numbering in the hundreds, are going to somehow be overlooked because people, instead of focusing on the '06 election, will jump ahead and think about the next one," Clinton said.

Rove made no immediate comment.

And all this time, I thought her sweet dreams were about Bill.

[Dahoser]

Always the victim, eh Hillie?

[TommyDale]

I wouldn't call it "obsessing". Puking, maybe...

[Froufrou]

"people, instead of focusing on the '06 election, will jump ahead and think about the next one," Clinton said."

And she's NOT a brilliant strategist. Thanks for helping us focus, Hillobeans...

[Mr. Mojo]

A little "projection" going on.....

[oblomov]

Now we know that the "vast right wing conspiracy" refers to Rove's waistband.

[tallhappy]

He spends more time thinking about my political future than I do

Disingenuous as false humility is so transparent in her.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that President Bush's chief political strategist Karl Rove "spends a lot of time obsessing about me."

"Gee, I always wonder if that is the same damn black pantsuit or if she has several pairs?"

[rvoitier]

One comment in 6 years? Yeah, it's all about you, rodham.

[Bob]

I've always had a sneaking suspicion that she was psychotic.

[Abathar]

It's not obsessing when he snickers every time he says your name Hillery...

ALBANY, N.Y. — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that President Bush's chief political strategist Karl Rove "spends a lot of time obsessing about loathing me."

There. All fixed. I do too.

[mo]

it seems the word "projection" defines the liberal world....

[Pittsburg Phil]

Yes, Rove is a sucker for that bug-eye look. Flash him one, Hil.

[ncpatriot]

My first thought too.

Whenever a statement like this doesn't "ring true", I think projection.

[Palladin]

Hillary is a megalomaniac and a narcissistic sociopath.

That's a lethal combination for a presidential candidate.

[ssaftler]

Who else but the San Francisco Comical, quite possibly the WORST big-city newspaper in the world, could publish such tripe?

And with a straight face, no less!

[AD from SpringBay]

Sounding more presidential as the days go by.
