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.

Time for the real conservatives on FR,
be it Republicans, Independents or Democrats
(like Zell Miller and John O'Neill) to band together
and oust the looney left and RINO's

The "Politically Correct RINO's" on FR are the same group
who "swore"
klintoon, hitlery, hanoi kerry, sanbdi ber(bur)glar, al bore, jane beno,
would be prosecuted for
pardongate, chinagate, the bribes in upstate NY in the 2000 NY Senate race, waco, etc, etc,
"when" the "time was right".

With Hillary, it's a half-vast, left-wing conspiracy.

I think this fits the usual liberal dynamic of denial and projection. It means, simply that Hillary is fuming and raging incessantly, inside, against the Bush White House and especially Mr. Rove, whose strategic superiority has her at his mercy, and which keeps her awake at night.

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

Karl knows exactly where old Crusty lives. It won't take Derek Acorah to find it. (hint...breathe through your nose)

Hillary is a megalomaniac and a narcissistic sociopath. That's a lethal combination for a presidential candidate.

What is it about democrats? There must be a few viable candidates...but they never seem to chose them.

McCain will be touted as the only one who can beat Hillary. I'm not sure the Democrats will even run Hillary, who wants to go through whitewater and missing billing records again? By then it will be too late for the Republicans to put anyone up other than McCain.

Not sure if Rove does, but Dick Morris is truly fixated on Sen. Rotten.
