Clinton Library Has Responded to UFO Inquiries - Little Else By Fred Lucas CNSNews.com Staff Writer December 14, 2007 (CNSNews.com) - A 1996 e-mail released by the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library reveals that Camp David began receiving the Sci-Fi Channel that summer. Six other records released by the library involve correspondence to the White House on UFOs or extraterrestrial sightings. The bulk of the 29 records released to the public, out of more than 300 Freedom of Information Requests made to the library in Little Rock, Ark., also pertain to mundane issues such as an audio recording of President...

Clinton Adviser Resigns Over Obama Comments Obama Reveals Teen Drug Use In His Memoir POSTED: 9:51 am EST December 13, 2007 CONCORD, N.H. -- Bill Shaheen has resigned as co-chairman of Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign, reported WMUR-TV in Manchester, N.H. The resignation comes in the midst of fallout over comments Shaheen made regarding candidate Barack Obama's past drug use. Shaheen earlier said he regrets having made the comments. In an interview with The Washington Post, Shaheen said the Democratic party should beware of picking Obama as its candidate because Republicans could dredge up his past. In his memoir, "Dreams...

VOTERS WILL never elect Bill Clinton's wife as president of the United States. They may yet elect Hillary Clinton - if she makes the case. It's tempting to believe Bill Clinton is the one super surrogate who can make the difference in his wife's presidential campaign. A new CBS/New York Times national poll indicated that 44 percent of Democratic primary voters said they were more likely to vote for Hillary Clinton because of her husband. Only 1 percent said they were more likely to vote for Barack Obama because of his celebrity backer, Oprah Winfrey. But people don't always tell...

If Hillary Clinton becomes the first woman president, she’ll accomplish another “first” that supporters are less eager to acknowledge: She’ll be the first candidate to win with the support of many who are really more interested in the candidate’s spouse. “The underlying reason is a yearning for a Bill Clinton third term,” one South Florida Democratic official who supports Clinton said privately. “The feeling is that he is a power behind the throne.”

Converning Bill's ad for Hillary: By Dick Morris, former political advisor to President Bill Clinton If you happen to see the Bill Clinton five minute TV ad for Hillary in which he introduces the commercial by saying that he wants to share some things we may not know about Hillary's background . . beware . . As I was there for most of their presidency and know them better than just about anyone, I offer a few corrections; Bill says: "In law school Hillary worked on legal services for the poor." The facts are: Hillary's main extra-curricular activity in law...

I chose this HUffington Post THREAD to DUFU today for two reasons. First of all the title, "Derek Shearer's Lips Meet Hillary's Bottom," absolutely cracks me up. I mean the authors, Jerry and Joe Long aren't a couple of anonymous posters. They are official bloggers at the HUffington Post which makes it even FUnnier. The other reason why I am DUFUing this thread is that I want everybody to get up to speed on the fraud known as Derek Shearer. As pointed out in a terrific NewsBusters STORY yesterday, far from being a mainstream establishment type that Shearer makes...

"Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., right, is introduced by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, left, before her talk with billionaire investor Warren Buffett, at a campaign stop in San Francisco, Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2007.""Billionaire investor Warren Buffett takes part in a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., in San Francisco, Calif., Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2007. Buffett, who has said he would be happy with either Clinton or Sen. Barack Obama as the next president, already helped Clinton raise at least $1 million during a June event in New York. "

Mrs Hillary Clinton, Senator from New York State, is one of the leading contenders for the Democratic Party’s nomination for President of the USA in 2008. But a question arises, as she is the wife of a former two-term President, whether her candidacy is legally allowed under the US Constitution and American law. America’s first President, George Washington, held office for two consecutive four-year terms and declined to run for a third term in 1796. From that time onwards to Franklin D. Roosevelt, it became a constitutional custom in the USA that no President would serve for more than two...

We've just obtained a copy of the Obama Muslim smear email -- smear-mail? -- that the Iowa county chair volunteering for Hillary sent out. Key quotes: "Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii . When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya . His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia . When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia . Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta." And: "Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United...

A county chair for Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign has been caught sending an e-mail casting aspersions on Sen. Barack Obama's religion, and today, the Clinton campaign asked the person, a volunteer, to leave the campaign. A Dodd supporter in Iowa wrote about the e-mails on the Daily Kos site, and the Clinton campaign. The ever vigilant Clinton web guru Peter Daou emailed a response: There is no place in our campaign, or any campaign, for this kind of politics. A volunteer county coordinator made the mistake of forwarding an outrageous and offensive chain e-mail. This was wholly unauthorized and...

"A man is holding hostages in the Hillary Clinton for President Headquarters in Rochester NH"--just reported by Susan Wornick on WCVB TV in Boston

"Democratic presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) distributes food at the Central Iowa Shelter and Services Center in Des Moines, Iowa, November 20, 2007."

Alec Baldwin is worried that Sen. Hillary Clinton won't do what he thinks is the right thing for children's health. The "30 Rock" star wants the Democratic White House hopeful to vote "no" on the $10 billion farm bill, now before the Senate, that would give subsidies to farmers who provide cheese, sugar and other fattening foods to schools. "As you are well aware, the epidemic of childhood obesity is worsening day by day, leading to higher risks of diabetes, heart disease and several forms of cancer," the actor wrote Monday in a personal letter to Clinton and each of...

Beware Hillary's 'Whitewash' By L. Brent Bozell III CNSNews.com Commentary November 14, 2007 The Hillary Clinton juggernaut likes to try and run over every new threat, especially the ones they can call "old news." Every new book on her life, personal and political, is dismissed as "old news" -- unless the person retelling and reshaping the "old news" is Hillary. Her recounting of her life is minty-fresh. Every other book smells like a reopened casket. Whenever -- if ever -- authors of Hillary books are introduced by the national media, the tone of the interviews focuses in on Hillary's talking...

At two campaign events in Iowa this year, aides to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton encouraged audience members to ask her specific questions, a tactic that drew criticism from an opponent for the Democratic presidential nomination and led her yesterday to promise that it would not happen again. Mrs. Clinton, speaking to reporters in Iowa, said she was unaware that her aides had ever planted questions. “It was news to me,” said Mrs. Clinton, of New York, “and neither I nor my campaign approve of that, and it will certainly not be tolerated.” Staff members have been told to avoid doing...

Organizers claim they didn’t intend to come off as secretive "It won’t happen again." Given the uproar over a closed-door meeting in which Clinton delegates gathered at the Parkway Ballroom on Wednesday for a pep talk from former President Bill Clinton, I’ll bet it won’t. Traci Otey Blount, a spokeswoman for the Hillary Clinton campaign, moved swiftly to douse the fire storm caused when media were locked out of a meeting billed as a “People’s Rally.” A gaggle of cameramen and reporters were forced to stand in chilly temperatures for three hours across the street, while a predominantly black crowd...

Sen. Joe Lieberman just now on Fox said he might vote for the Republican presidential candidate because the Democrats have lost sight of reality. He sees the Democrats 'more worried about and angry at President Bush than the terrorists who want to kill us.' (paraphrased). Heads are explodin' on the Left now.

Excerpt - In the most surreal and, Santa help us, only truly interesting moment in "Fred Claus," none other than former presidential sibling Roger Clinton stands up and delivers a heartfelt confession about the pain of living in a more accomplished brother's shadow. As Clinton blubbers about love and devotion and "being there" for his kin, it all eerily comes into focus: The bulbous nose, the ruddy skin, the faint Ozarkian drawl … this guy really IS a mutant version of Bill Clinton! And, then, another revelation: He genuinely IS messed-up! And that's all the pathos or humor you're likely...

Ah, there's bad news this morning. Well, bad news for the Democrats. The news for the country is actually pretty good, but we have to remember whose side we're on. This assessment of Democratic prospects seems harsh, but don't take my word for it. Here's Frank Rich, the distinguished columnist for the New York Times, dealing despair and the prospect of doom for his side: "When President Bush started making noises about World War III, he only confirmed what has been a Democratic article of faith all year: Between now and Election Day he and Dick Cheney, cheered on by...
