Will Hillzilla crush Obambi?
Edited on Sun Feb-10-08 03:31 PM by marcellobarrios
It looks like this week was not the first time Maureen Dowd compared Hillary Clinton to a monster that breathes fire.

We had to pay in order to access NYT columns back in 2006, and that's why very few of you, if any, had ever read the following story, ttled "Will Hillzilla Crush Obambi?".

But let me be fair and point out that Dowd had some moronic words to say about Obama as well:

She won her Senate seat only after becoming sympathetic as a victim. And she still struggles with the balance between her Mars and Venus sides, sometimes showing her political steel and other times fetching coffee for male colleagues.


...

Senator Obama glides between the black and white political worlds. In New Hampshire on Sunday, speaking to nearly all-white audiences, the Harvard-educated lawyer looked utterly at home, dressing like a Wall Street banker on casual Friday and sounding as white as Lou Dobbs.

2. I really don't see a differance in him
when he is addressing a white crowd or an african american crowd. He may talk about different things but I don't see a change in his demenor like he is pandering to them like the author suggests.

4. It's about Open Government vs Closed Government that protects the Powerful.
I support Open Government and Transparency. I fight Closed Government that protects the secrecy amd privilege of the powerful elite.

Democrats supporting the continuing protection of the Bushes is disgusting to me.

They want MORE Bushes? More 9-11s? More Iraq wars? War with Iran?

THAT is what we get when truth and open government is NOT a priority for a Democratic president.
