Megalomaniac bigdog had to be held back from reporter
Uh-oh Hillary's internals must be tanking again.
Bigdog ONCE AGAIN is an enbarassment to the presidency and our country by his behavior.
Isn't enough enough?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The exchange came at an Oakland barbecue restaurant as Mr. Clinton took questions following a forum on the home mortgage crisis.

At one point during the exchange with the TV reporter, Mayor Ron Dellums tried to physically pull Mr. Clinton away, but the former president held his ground.

7. Sorry Bill you are now not a respected member of the club
This is as big a lie as "I didn't have ..." You just don't have credibility on this issue.

16. No one objected when Bill Clinton took that Faux stooge down a peg
If someone tries gotcha journalism with him, he points the finger
and says in public what's going on, directly and for all to hear.
Good.

And the New York Sun has an editorial in the same issue saying why
Bush should grow some balls and try to make his tax cuts for the rich
(such as Rupert Murdoch and sons) permanent.

Wikipedia:
"The Sun's managing editor Ira Stoll had been a longtime critic of this policy of the Times, as well as what he considered to be liberal bias in Times reporting,"

I wouldn't trust that paper to give an accurate weather report.

18. What does he mean their votes count for 5X as much?
"everybody who voted in a casino a vote worth five times as much as people who voted in their own precinct? "

19. I don't see anything wrong with what Clinton did.
and I am not a fan.

I wonder if that is right though. Why would their votes count five times as much?

My caucus is taking place at my workplace, which I think is very handy. It means I will not have to take a day off to vote. I had nothing to do with it though, even if I do have a ton of power as the website manager.

My workplace, much like a casino, happens to have a large ballroom that's handy to hold a caucus in. The value of our votes is a function of how many people show up.

21. If you're registered in a different precinct
it would mean you would have to go home to vote. That's why they created at-large sites on the Vegas strip, where anybody within 2.5 miles can vote. They are also weighted by the number of people in the precinct and how many people show up. They've jiggled the numbers to pretend the strip voters will have more weight, when the weighting is regulated by state law.

24. we are a puny city, we only have two sites for the whole county
Our room can only hold about 600, and in the last election the Democrat got 9,000 votes in this county. I hope we are not over-whelmed.

Anyway, it does not sound like Bill was accurate in his criticism and he seems to want to make it hard for people to vote if they are gonna vote against his wife. Hmmmmm.

23. Glad Bill clarified that. MSM was selling it as Hillary suing to stop O votes - now understand
completely different. Hope that made the Las Vegas papers.

27. WTF are you talking about?
Bigdog ONCE AGAIN is an embarrassment to the presidency and our country by his behavior.

Embarrassment? What, did he puke on the lap of the Japanese President? Did he have Alzheimer's while a sitting president? Did he ever, just for five minutes while president, act anything like shrub*?

I didn't agree with all of Clinton's policy decisions, some of which were so hideous that they helped lay the ground work for *, but Clinton never made me feel embarrassed that he was my president.


Could you please explain this "embarrassment" of yours related to Bill Clinton? TIA.
