CNN: Jennifer Flowers, to sell tapes, suggests someone in an opposing Clinton camp involved |
|
CNN was just saying Jennifer Flowers is to sell tapes of her conversations with Bill Clinton and CNN also suggests an opposing Hillary camp involved. This is some scary stuff.

4. Who cares about Gennifer Flowers? |
|
It's an old, old story. If it was from that gorgeous Canadian woman, that'd be different. I don't think any opposing campaign would be dumb enough to risk the blowback from making negative attacks on such a non-story.

2. Gennifer Flowers is cashing in. |
|
Thats all there is to it. She's seizing an opportunity. She's an opportunist.
I havent heard or read anything about an "opposing camp" being involved. Whomever is making that accusation better be prepared to back it up.

3. Just on CNN about 5 minutes ago |
|
What I find interesting is everyone was upset about Obama's photo yesterday accusing Hillary without proof but they don't care about Jennifer Flowers. I suppose Obama supporters don't care.

5. Well, since it's happening |
|
I can tell you if CNN runs a story like this it will have traction. If CNN didn't think it was a story they would have skipped it.

7. You're implying that Obama is somehow behind Gennifers actions? |
|
Seriously? Do you not remember *anything* about her from the 90's? She's an opportunistic attention hog trying to cash in on a scandal for the simple reason that she can. But you want to blame Obama just because some jackass on CNN insinuated his campaigns involvement? Come on.

6. Umm.. why would Obama need to be involved in this? |
|
The "tone" in your post indicates that you feel Obama or McCain is behind this.. yet, I think you're trying to imply that it's Obama.
Why would he even need to be involved with this? Gennifer Flowers has all of this info - not Obama or his camp. And, Obama is going to do what to "help? Ms. Flowers with this?
No, i have a feeling that this is a well timed stunt on the part of Gennifer Flowers - she knows she can cash in on this. And, it's one of the reasons I DO NOT want another Clinton in the white house personally - because it's going to be 4 - 8 years of "The Lewinsky Chronicals".. "The Gennifer Flowers conversations"... etc... etc... etc. And that's if we're lucky enough to avoid any future drama, which I don't know if we will.
Does this crap have anything to do with Hillary & her ability to lead? Nope.. but it takes the focus off of the serious issues, and i'd rather avoid it all together.

She's just trying to get her last minutes of fame before the Clintons become irrelevant next week.

9. Hillary herself seeing to this leak would be more likely than Obama. |
|
Come on. The man has run an immaculate campaign and would have absolutely nothing to gain from such a cheap stunt. Clinton, on the other hand, judging by how she's been acting of late might consider such a sensationalist story likely to drum up support and sympathy from her.
Of course, neither is true or anywhere close. But the implication, however sly, that Obama is behind this is undeniably far more far fetched than the alternative I listed.

10. Well, Candi Crawley talked about it |
|
The way it came up, she was talking about the events of the past week. She talked about the flyer's Obama sent out and showed both Obama and Hillary's reactions, showed a tape of how Hillary agreed with Nafta when her husband was in office but then a year ago showing how NAFTA needs to be rethought because it didn't work out how it was expected. They mentioned in the flyer's he stated she said "BOON" in his flyer's which was debunked. Then she quickly mentioned something about an old case or something and I automatically thought of the case she took in 76, but Crawley didn't say what it was. Then she mentioned the picture of Obama in Kenyan garb and how Obama quickly accused Hillary of it but then showed Hillary denying it, and then Candi brought up Flowers and showed a picture or maybe it was a quick 5 second video of flowers, can't remember exactly how they showed Flowers and then Crawley mentioned the tapes. Then she mentioned Hillary's speech that many people talked about.

She did everything she could to sabotage John Kerry's campaign.
This time she's sabotaging BOTH Hillary and Obama with one story.
Gennifer Flowers is just out for Gennifer Flowers.
