SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton responded to allegations Sunday that her presidential campaign had planted questions during public appearances.

At a media event in Waterloo, Iowa, Clinton responded to a reporter's question about two separate incidents, one that occurred this week at a biodiesel plant in Newton, and the other in April on a farm outside Fort Madison, both in Iowa.

"Well it was news to me" Clinton said. "And neither I nor my campaign approve of that. And it will certainly not be tolerated."

The reporter went on to ask if she knew of other incidents beyond those reported.

Clinton responded saying, "You know everything I know."

Oh my gosh... even AFTER her campaign manager came out and admitted the questions were planted adding that it would NOT happen again...

Drudge reported that it did happen again...

And the Hildabeast is standing there lying...

Somebody pass her campaign manager a net... This neurotic pathological liar needs to be reeled in!!!

Everyone knows her campaign people are micromangers who leaves nothing to chance.

Clinton responded saying, "You know everything I know."

This could be Blowjob Clinton talking. She is unable to answer yes or no.

Simple yes or no question.

Indeed. I actually have Hillary response to your question right here: "You know, the media likes to play gotcha. Your question is a good one -- one which I wish the media would ask of President Bush. If you ask me, the whole idea of invading Iraq was planted by Halliburton. So, in conclusion I would just encourage everyone to look at my record of accompolishments."

OK,I really despise Hillary, but does anybody really think other candidates aren’t doing the same? Standard politics.

Well it was news to me" Clinton said.

She doesn't even know what goes on within her own campaign.

She didn't even know what went on for months in the White House with her hubby and Monica.

She didn't know where the Rose Law Firm billing records were [she failed to check the kitchen table, apparently].

She just doesn't seem to know much -- even about things going on right under her nose.

Is that what we need as a President and Commander-in-Chief?

It was her campaign managers that did it! Besides, what good is it to get someone to ask the question if Hitlery wasn't prepared to give a rehearsed answer? What a f*ckin liar she is and no one in MSM calls her on it.

The Friends on Fox had on John McCain for their Salute to Veterans and our Military (excellent show, by the way, Brian is down in Quantico at the Marines Museum). They asked McCain about Mrs. Clinton and Questiongate and he was critical...said it takes away from the spontaneity of a town hall meeting, of which he is famous for. Joe Piscipo, also a guest, was reading the tease about Mrs. Clinton not knowing about Questiongate and he did a funny, “yeah, right”...seems Joe is not a fan.

What an idiot, really. If people would just pay attention.
She doesn’t know what her campaign people are doing, no idea what her philandering husband was up to for all those years, and was tricked into voting for the war by Bush. And, where WERE all those files, by the way, hillary?
Good grief!! How stupid does she think we are?

Remember what Geffin said...she lies with incredible ease.

She can tell lie after lie after lie, and then, who cares if she's lying anymore... the problem is there may be enough voters out there who don't care what she says, they are voting for the ideas of a "progressive", a woman...

She'll get a lot more votes for being a woman that she will lose votes for being a woman...

Asked if the Clinton campaign denied Mitchell's unequivocal assertion that Hayler tried to plant a question about Clinton trying to stand up to Bush on Iraq war funding, Elliethee declined.

"I'm not going to comment on what he said," said Elleithee said, referring to Mitchell. "I'm going to discuss what our interpretation is.


Read as: "I am unable to actually tell you that yes, the questions were planted. Instead, I will attempt to convince you of the alternate version of reality that exists in our liberal fantasy world. Oh, I'll also try to paint Mitchell, a minister, as a liar at the same time."

Well said. Hillary’s either lying or incompetent. Or both.

“Mrs. Clinton, since you seem to be either unable to control your campaign staff or oblivious to what they are doing, isn’t this evidence of your unfitness to manage the affairs of the United States as its chief executive?”

Don’t think it will get asked.

Sadly I have been thinking the same thing since this first broke.

But it is so easy to dislike and mistrust Hillary.

I am sure many campaign staffers do this stuff, and mostly without knowledge of the candidate. You are right ... politics!

What will happen is now every question she is asked will be questioned. Was it a plant? Was it genuine?

All it will take to sink her is for someone to ask her a question and then afterwars say he was a plant. Whether it's true or not.

That's exactly what the Clinton's count on, people being apathetic about their lies
because their "cause" is what's important.

This is the way the DBM/dems think, they don't care about what's true
or whether or not their canidates LIE, (Except it's honorable to them if their
canidates are good liars) they only want power, and they'll do almost anything
to get it!!

We have to remember to equip ourselves to fight against their evil because they
will LIE, with no conscience to get power.
