Margaret Carlson: Hillary Stabbed Cuomo in the Back for Presidency

NewsMax was the first to report that Hillary Clinton was indeed running for the President.

Now, the idea of a Hillary Clinton candidacy has moved from laughter to accepted reality.

This past weekend, Margaret Carlson, co-host of CNN’s Capital Gang, said on-air that there is no doubt that Hillary is running for the White House.

Carlson, also a TIME magazine columnist, is one of the most connected liberals in Washington.

During the CNN show, Carlson explained why Andrew Cuomo pulled out of the Democratic primary in New York, throwing the race to State Comptroller Carl McCall, an African American.

Carlson said that Hillary’s sudden and unusual endorsement of McCall made Cuomo’s race untenable.

Why did Hillary make the unusual move of making an endorsement when she had previously promised to remain neutral?

Carlson said bluntly, "Hillary's running for president. They [the Clintons] wanted the black vote, and the Clintons just undermined [Cuomo].”

Carlson said Hillary’s endorsement proves the Clintons will stop at nothing to get back into the White House.

She said the Hillary endorsement demonstrated that "the Clintons will stab you in the back.”

Carlson recalled that during the Monica scandal, "The Clintons got [Cuomo’s] support during impeachment. If one Cabinet secretary had gone off during the Monica thing, Clinton would have been in a lot of trouble. Andrew Cuomo stuck by him.”

Cuomo had served as Clinton’s cabinet secretary at HUD.

Carlson complained, "They should have at least, the very least, remained neutral.”

That was one of the most fascinating scenarios I have read in a long time...never considered Reno knowing where bodies were buried, etc. If she is able to go with this, meaning she, herself, knows a few skeletons intimately but is not involved in their dimise or whatever, scandal, you name it, the house of cards the klinton's laboriously built could lose some support. And like you said, Reno knows full well what the klinton's are capable of, we all do, so I don't imagine she is walking around unprotected.

I heard Hillary won 70% of the vote, on election night. Just goes to show how far round the bend NY state is...

Hmmm... Bush in the White House ... Clinton running for President ... Does this mean Ross Perot will be making a comeback?

[Mr. K]

Now for an even harder question Margy- Would bill clintoon RAPE WOMEN (note: PLURAL)???

[CARepubGal]

I agree! I want to see the Klintoons (and Janet Reno since you mentioned the Waco nightmare!) tried, convicted and hung from a gallows like Mussolini and his mistress and the Ceaucescus in Romania.

Since that excellent scenario is not too likely in the very near future, hampering Hitlary's attempts to grab power will work just fine for me!. I would love to see that replayed and a smart Repub consultant using that to question the Beast's fitness for POTUS. And since Hitlary never goes outside the Beltway or Manhattan in this country, she has NO idea just how very very hated and reviled she is.

"...since Hitlary never goes outside the Beltway or Manhattan in this country, she has NO idea just how very very hated and reviled she is."

She'll learn, my FRiend, she shall learn...MUD

BTW...that Mussolini Idea's got promise...LOL!!

"If she is able to go with this, meaning she, herself, knows a few skeletons intimately but is not involved in their dimise or whatever, scandal, you name it, the house of cards the klinton's laboriously built could lose some support.

Personally, I don't believe Reno's got the cajones to go after the Clintons, but she's gotta be looking over her shoulder a bit knowing what she knows.

"There'll probably be some womenfolk (hopefully not enough) who'll vote for her simply because she'd be America's first woman president..."

Sure didn't do much fer Geraldine Ferraro...MUD

Stab in the back? Stab in the back? What stab in the back?
Liberals are terrific at twisting reality.

It probably went like this:

Hillary: Now, Andy, I need the black vote to run for President, so I want you to withdraw from the Primary.

Andy: Huh?


Hillary: What would you prefer, possibly the governorship of New York, or Attorney General of the U.S. under my administration?

Andy: Oh yes great queen, my sovereign, I will withdraw and let McCall get nominated and support him. So will my dad Mario. What will you have for him?

Hillary: Stay tuned, Andy, this is just beginning!!!
(Evil glare)

Back Stabbing is on page 3 of the 'Toon's playbook. Page 1 is suicide and page 2 is the old "run over by a train" trick. The "back stab" technique is only brought in if the first two aren't workable.

Would page 4 have something about airplane rides over the Balkans???????????

Sure didn't do much fer Geraldine Ferraro...MUD

But this time, she will be running for President, not Veep. Could change the way some women vote...

Dig up Vince Foster and James McDougal and ask them their opinion.

[VOYAGER]

She said the Hillary endorsement demonstrated that "the Clintons will stab you in the back.”

When did Margaret Carlson get a brain transplant?

She has been a "blimp head" until this statement, she ought to give her sister Eleanor Clift her brain surgeon's phone number.

1) The Clintons will stab you in the back.

2) The sun will set in the west.

3) Democrats raise taxes.

4) Gore will always lust for power.

"Could change the way some women vote...

Only the really, really, REALLY politically-IGNORANT gals, I reckon...MUD

"If Hillary kicked Jessie Jackson in the nuts or set Al Sharton's hair on fire..."

Now that there would be worth the price of admission, TrickyDick...MUD
