The suggestion appears to be that this tainted dynasty is on its way out. Good.

Bump!

"...a Clinton dynasty in the making..."

Heaven help us!

[nopardons]

It was only assasinations and a willing lefty media, that made the Kennedys into " somebodies ." What most people fail to remember / know, is that JFK was NEVER thought of as even a " good " president, whilst alive. It was ONLY through propaganda ( Jackie propelled that " Camelot " garbage , through E.B. White ! ), that his administration was even ever called " Camelot " !

With X42 out of office ( thank YOU, GOD ! ), Hitlery a senator, and only Chelsea, as a relative in the wings ( ? ), there can't be a " Clinton Dynasty " !

In a sense there is already a dynasty - the Economist talked about this the other week: not related to Clinton per se, but having worked for him: you have Janet Reno running for office, for example. I think Robert Reich is too. Rahm Emmanuel I also believe is running for office. Etc. etc. - the Clintonista Dynasty is out there already.

Of course the demise of American's infatuation with the Kennedys is welcome, but the Democrats have merely replaced this trashy dynasty with one even trashier and thus even more to their liking.

Let's not forget that The Kennedy fortune was gained by running bootleg whiskey. Not that I'm against whisky, but it was illegal to do so at the time they did it.

[RichInOC]

No, Kathleen is.

"There can't be a 'Clinton Dynasty'!"

What about Danny?

"Janet Reno...Robert Reich...Rahm Emmanuel...Etc. etc. - the Clintonista Dynasty is out there already."

What you say, re the Clintonistas running, is true ; however, that isn't what a " political dynasty " really means. Are we back arguing about the true meaning of IS ? LOL

Reno will probably lose, Rahm will probably win ( drat ! ), and I don't know how Robert Reich is doing in Mass.

[nopardons]

No, newbie, an article can't be " retarded "; only people can be. Please go back ( stay in ) school and learn English, before you bother to post again.

[MadIvan]

Bill Richardson is also likely to win.

Apparently there are 11 Clintonistas running in total. I agree this doesn't quite square up as a dynasty in the traditional sense.

introducing her running mate as an ambassador rather than an admiral.

If the people of Maryland elect this woman to office they get what they deserve. an IDIOT.

If you don’t even know who your running mate is you must be an idiot.

Of course… She remains favourite to win in November but is no longer a shoo-in in a state where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by two to one. they deserve an idiot any way.

[nopardons]

Also by selling short and driving down the market, during the '29 Crash and using underhanded / illegal methods , to boot.

[nopardons]

That's funny ! :-)

Well, he isn't old enough ... yet, and last I had heard, is living is Australia. But then, anything could happen, I suppose.

[nopardons]

Ugh ... you are the bearer of bad news. :-(

[blackbart.223]

"This article is retarded...."

No sir: You are.

[MadIvan]

But then, anything could happen, I suppose.

Yes, Roger could also give up his singing (cough, hack, cough) career and decide to run for Congress too.
