Sen. Clinton Says Rove Obesses About Her

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.

Any concern I had over a Hillary candidacy evoporated at Corretta's funeral. With the most receptive audience she will ever face in her entire life, she could scarcely inspire a smile let alone the raucus ovation that even G.H.W. Bush recieved. And I mean to tell ya- if you are out-dazzled on the podium by Poppy Bush, before a mainly black audience, you are sunk before you leave the port!

The DNC knows this and the only way she will win nomination is by plain and severe extortion. It could well be the last nail in the DNC coffin.

My political career? I never give it a thought, it just *happens* I never know how. Yes, but everyone thinks so much about it. Except me of course. I never give it a thought.

Riiight. It's about time she comes with the old... "I am just giving the poeple what they want" line.

Which of course if true, would mean that she would pull that soggy tissue of a dulap neck of hers up over her head and disappear forever.

I doubt that's possible.

"He spends more time thinking about my political future than I do," Clinton said

Its the reason the GOP will take the White House again amid rampant anti-GOP propaganda.Its why Rove,that sneaky bastard, is so successful at what he does.

Rove made no immediate comment.

He's still gasping for air, trying to catch his breath after the laughing fit this caused him.

Obsessing about her?

Only if she is the last one in the bar and poor Karl is blasted enough and neglected to "go ugly early!".

But even then, most of the loser-guys (and probably karl) would prefer to chug a few more rusty nails, stagger on home alone, and puke until they pass out hugging the toilet bowl!

No wonder she moved. Arkansas isn't big enough to contain an ego this size.
