My goodness, folks, this Hillary Comment business is starting to become a REAL International Burn Burner right now.
This is moving hard and fast in the Japanese press here.
Here is my synopsis from the Japanese major (conservative) daily Sankei Shimbun, with it's rich and intriguing headine. (below) (and URL link to original Japanese language article). Japanese Middle-of-the-Road and Left-Oriented papers and outlets are also running with it as we speak.
Bump and arigato for my new tagline.
Fort Macy Park!!!
Puzzles me too... and there's something spooky about it as well. How a gaffe(?) of this magnitude is shrugged off by professionals defies logic. Excuses that she's tired or frustrated just don't cut it.
ヒラリー、終わったね。
DUmp thread
I usually plant my tomatoes around RFK's assasination and harvest my potaotoes around 9/11
snortin' lol
America the end which probably will be rubbed! America which personally faces to the graveyard, sorrow! Is this probably what thing?
I couldn't have said it better myself ;)
sounds worse than Yoda high on malt liquor, doesn’t it??
Mmmm, charm it has, of sorts.
You’re right, this is the third time she’s said this in the past three months.
Same points each time.
March 6, 2008 interview in TIME magazine:
TIME: Can you envision a point at whichif the race stays this closeDemocratic Party elders would step in and say, This is now hurting the party and whoever will be the nominee in the fall?
CLINTON: No, I really cant. I think people have short memories. Primary contests used to last a lot longer. We all remember the great tragedy of Bobby Kennedy being assassinated in June in L.A. My husband didnt wrap up the nomination in 1992 until June. Having a primary contest go through June is nothing particularly unusual.

May 6, 2008, following the Indiana Primary
But I also think its still early. I mean, everybody is so focused on where we are right now. I guess I remember that in June of 1992, thats when Bill really wrapped up the nomination, the middle of June after the California primary. You know, I remember very well what happened in the California primary in 1968 as, you know, Senator Kennedy won that primary.

Thank you for keeping us informed on the news from Japan. I’m glad to see this blowing up in Shrillary’s face (couldn’t happen to a more worthless POS unless it happened to Obama). However, upon reviewing her words I don’t share the view of those who find something sinister or menacing in her comment. She’s just trying to rationalize keeping her campaign going longer...... she may be dreaming of something happening to Obama, but I think the remark about RFK was only meant to reference the 1968 Calif. primary.
Still, anything that wrecks the Clintonistas in the media is OK with me. Demagogues make a practice of hysteria over the slighest mis-spoken remark by opponents, so it’s nice to see Hillary enjoying the karma.
Her words drip with it.
What a power freak.
This woman is not only SICK, she is DANGEROUS to the Republic.
Even 80% of the moonbat D.U. site feels that way. It is obvious when it is obvious...to nearly EVERYONE--even worldwide now.
One thing is sure. Were something to happen, so many fingers are going to point to HER now.
It would make Oliver Stone's fingering of Lyndon B. Johnson look like a picnic.
I think a full blown nervous breakdown is next in the cards for The Beast...her painfully watching the vision of the White House she lived in for eight years just slip further and further away in the distance, getting smaller and smaller on the green horizon, as her mind travels northward up 16th Street into the hilly residential area of Northest D.C., the majestic little white mansion getting further and further from her accursed grasp.
I can appreciate your viewpoint, Enchante. Thanks.
bttt
bump!
It could happen. Dumb thing to say, but yeah, it could happen. Why else do they need secret service protection?
Huckabee made a stupid joke about this topic the other week at an NRA meeting that didn’t get much play. Watch it become news if Huckabee gets the nod from McCain.
Is Bill Clinton gonna do a retroactive pardon for Sirhan Sirhan?
to quit the race as a form of "taking responsibility"
LOL. Responsible? They aren't even accountable. I'm sure there were discussions of plausible deniability before they stole the White House silverware.
