Hillary's Roger?
HILL'S BROTHER A DEADBEAT
OWES 158G IN KID SUPPORT & ALIMONY

http://www.nypost.com/seven/12202007/news/nationalnews/hills_brother_a_deadbeat_514395.htm?page=1

Including interest and various fees and expenses, the presidential candidate's brother now owes Boxer - the daughter of Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) - more than $158,000, the source said.


He and his brother Hugh embarrassed the Clintons in 1999 with a politically perilous plan to import hazelnuts from the former Soviet republic of Georgia.

He also became a figure in the "Pardongate" scandal, when it was revealed that he lobbied Bill Clinton to pardon two embezzlers.

Rodham made headlines again shortly after his split from Nicole, when he was attacked at his family cottage in the Berkshires by a man who claimed he saw Rodham having sex with his girlfriend.

Rodham later testified that he "might have" smoked pot with the woman.

5. and everyone knows that a Democratic
President -- regardless of who it is -- will be completely left alone and respected by the repuglicans, right?

I'd rather have someone in there who's fought the fight and has their (allegedly) dirty laundry already piled high in public view than a relatively unknown rookie who thinks singing Kumbaya with arms linked will somehow get everyone sitting at the Big Table working together.

But that's just me.

6. Is that how you feel about diplomacy?
I'm certainly no dove but this comment of yours is rather whacko.

...Hopefully it is just you.

7. whacko?
You could have said you disagreed. You could have said you didn't understand where I'm coming from. You could have said any number of things.

Instead, you decide to take the cheap shot and question my sanity. How very progressive and democratic of you.

8. Come on...
Edited on Thu Dec-20-07 10:59 AM by Zueda
you said this:
...who thinks singing Kumbaya with arms linked will somehow get everyone sitting at the Big Table working together.


I've seen folks like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh(both of whom I consider whacko) say nearly identical phrases.

And then you challenge my progressivness. HAH!

11. um ...
wouldn't that be "progressiveness" and not "progressivness"? :rofl:

Yeah, it's a small -- but hilarious (especially if one is defending one's "progressivness") -- thing to point out, but that's what we whackos do.

21. Hot off the 44 morning FAX
How many times have I seen this exact phrase ? I've lost count. Why does Hillary appeal to those prone to groupthink?

10. Gee
Another clue that Hillary is meant to be President.

Lots of other presidents had goofy relatives they had to contend with. She's in presidential company. :)

18. wow!
Edited on Thu Dec-20-07 12:16 PM by ccpup
take a chill pill, for God's sake. Sheesh! Asking you to point to the times Obama voted against funding the war hardly calls for the vitriolic response you threw back.

And at no time did I tell you NOT to talk about Hillary's record. Not sure where you got that I did, but ... well, okay.

20. okay
please tell me where I -- in the Posts you're responding to in this Thread -- shoved Hillary's record under-the-carpet. Is it possible this anger you're directing at me personally is misplaced?

12. Let's see...
Bush 43 - Jenna

Clinton - Roger

Bush 41 - Neil

Reagan - Michael

Carter - Billy


So your argument is that Obama or Edwards don't have any embarrasing realtions that the press and Republicans will make hay out of?

17. Well.....
Edwards' brother has had problems in the past, but has gotten his act together. As for Obama, he has nine half-siblings around the globe so good luck finding anything there.

27. Not responsible for her brother-
But not paying your child support, is about the lowest thing a man or a woman can do.
