HILL JABS AT JOHN; TAKES HER FIRST SHOT VS. AN '08 PREZ FOE

NY POST ^ | January 15, 2007 | JOHN MAZOR and GEOFF EARLE with Maggie Haberman

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton last night ripped into 2008 White House contender John Edwards - her first direct assault on any of her potential Democratic presidential rivals. Clinton's surprising broadside came just hours after Edwards, in Harlem, delivered a sharp condemnation - clearly aimed at Clinton, although he didn't mention her by name - against those who fail to "speak out" against the war in Iraq.

"Silence is betrayal, and I believe it is a betrayal not to speak out against the escalation of the war in Iraq," Edwards told a crowd at Manhattan's Riverside Church, where Martin Luther King had declared his opposition to the Vietnam War...... Edwards' hit on the front-runner for the Democratic nomination was not lost on the Clinton camp, which sees criticism from the Iraq war opponents as one of the major threats to her expected campaign for the presidential nomination......Clinton now faces a double-barreled threat from two charismatic contenders, Edwards and Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.). Edwards has recanted his 2002 vote for the resolution authorizing the Iraq war.......Last month, in an appearance on the "Today" show, Clinton went farther she ever had, saying, "Obviously, if we knew then what we know now, there wouldn't have been a vote, and I certainly wouldn't have voted that way."

Anyone see any photos of Hillie with the troops from her recent junket to Iraq?

Just curious :)

[Liz]

News segment ran a video of her w/ Afghan's Hamid Karzai.

[mewzilla]

Yup, I saw her with Karzai and Maliki, but no pics and/or video of her with the troops.

Go figure.

[Joe Boucher]

Bet she had to have a very large personal entourage to protect her big butt from some of the troops.

[mewzilla]

And I hear the weather was really, really bad so she had to cancel some of her stops. Awwwwww.....

[mewzilla]

Bet she had to have a very large personal entourage to protect her big butt from some of the troops.

Now I wonder what could've given her the idea that she might not receive a warm welsome....

...Does anyone have any POPCORN?

"In 2004, John Edwards used to constantly brag about running a positive campaign. Today, he has unfortunately chosen to open his campaign with political attacks on Democrats who are fighting the Bush administration's Iraq policy," said Clinton adviser Howard Wolfson... Clinton's full-blown response to Edwards signals that her team considers him a top-tier threat.

That's a full-blown response? If that's the most that Thunder Thighs can come up with, I suspect there's a lot more Thigh than Thunder and that in fact Breck Girl migh just be able to best the beast in some primaries.

Anyway, it will be an interesting cat fight. Fat Chick vs. Prom Queen. (I just don't want to watch when the clothes start tearing off.)

[skinkinthegrass]

....a CLASSIC. :D

[Liz]

"Start melting the butter---lots of it."

[skinkinthegrass]

it will be an interesting cat fight. Fat Chick vs. Prom Queen

...Oh! the Mental image of that, is painful.

[mewzilla]

Here's an article of her with a pic of her with Lt. Gen. Odierno...

Sen. Clinton Meets With Karzai, Troops

I've yet to find any pics of her being glad-handed by the troops...

[skinkinthegrass]

THANKS....
Hmmm...Best, I've tasted in Days. :D

[Liz]

Not to worry, Jon's hair is well-sprayed and gelled. His "do" will survive no matter how messy the fight with Hil gets.

[OldFriend]

So it's perfectly alright for Edwards to make a political speech at Riverside Church?

Oh the ethics of the dems are something to behold!

[Liz]

Here, this'll make it go down much better.

[OldFriend]

The fat chick doesn't need Soros' money so she thinks she can do and say inane comments and be safe.

We shall see!

"Obviously, if we knew then what we know now, there wouldn't have been a vote, and I certainly wouldn't have voted that way."-H.CLinton (D. -Cuba)

"I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it." -J.Kerry (D. -Vietnam)

Am I right? Is there recurring theme here....?
