They say bad news comes in threes. I guess Hillary Clinton is breathing proof of this. I haven't seen a person have this bad a weekend since... well, since my Tarheels got blasted in the Final Four Saturday.
First, those tax returns. Now I'll be straight with ya'll, I don't think there's anything wrong with cashing in on your notoriety. If Ashley Alexandra Dupre can get caked-up off fellating a Governor, who's to say Hillary can't make a lil' pocket change for enduring eight years of Bill being fellated by chubby interns in the next room over? Newsflash: except for Dennis Kucinich, nobody running for President has been broke anytime recently. John McCain married a beer magnate. Obama's wife pulls in $300k/yr as a hospital administrator. John Edwards has a 28,000 square foot home. These folks aren't exactly begging you to buy a t-shirt to feed their Jamba Juice addiction starving. On the other hand, the struggling coal miners in Wilkes-Barre might not agree with my assessment, which means this prolly isn't a good look.
Then her little campaign story about a pregnant woman being denied medical attention and subsequently dying is a complete and total BOLDFACED LIE misunderstanding. Considering the whole Bosnia snafu last week, this isn't really a good look either.
Worst of all, her chief strategist/ace boon Mark Penn gets outted for getting a $300k consulting gig with Colombia to push a trade agreement that Clinton herself adamantly opposes. This is the tactical equivalent of Jeremiah Wright being caught on Madison with a few vials of crack in his socks. Of course, this being the Clintons and all, dude doesn't even have to fall on a sword. He simply shifts gears from being a paid advisor to a non-paid one. What. A. Country.
So, when faced with the task of responding to all these allegations today, what does Hillary do? She pulls a classic jack move from page 142 of The Clinton Book On Manipulative Politricks and starts urging President Bush to boycott the Beijing Olympics. Haven't we seen this one before? Remember how she deflected Bosnia-Gate by essentially saying "well what about that crazy assed Preacher Barack has, huh, what about him?".
This whole thing culminated in the most hardbody/gangsta/gully brush off in the history of the world, EVAR!!! When Clinton was questioned about the whole Mark Penn issue today on the stump, she threw shade on reporters by feigning deafness. Peep game at the 25 second mark of this clip.
"What's that ya' say? Huh? I can't hear you! Huh? Ha Ha Ha!!!!"
Clintons, you gotta love em'. Or not.

bwaaahahaha
They didn't play the audio of the reporters "asking questions"...
... is it because they were shouting "YOU SUCK!" ?
why would any person in their right mind vote for this losing liar?
I wish she would go away. This election process has really changed how I view her and her tactics. We're so far removed from the "It Takes a Village" days. I'm tired of it all. I wish the convention process was over as well as the Presidential Election. Having voted in every election since 1980, I'm tired of the lies and rhetoric...but then I remember this is politics!
Sing it with me now: " I see her true colors, shining through, I see her true colors, thats why I would never vote for you, so don't be afraid, to let them show," We need to see her true colors, as does everyone else who blindly follows the greasy, slick, slimeball Clinton machine. Bill had his heyday, just leave your legacy at that. This is a waste of time anyway, she's done after the 22nd, thank GOD.
Whatever you might think about Hillary, writing: "If Ashley Alexandra Dupre can get caked-up off fellating a Governor, who's to say Hillary can't make a lil' pocket change for enduring eight years of Bill being fellated by chubby interns in the next room over?" is just misogynistic. I'm utterly revolted. I'm writing News and Notes to ask their opinion. How extremely tasteless, misogynistic, and vulgar.
It's interesting to me that during this campaign, military experience has not been an important requirement for seeking the most important office of the United States. What a difference 4years make...along with the discouraging war results.
@ Matthew;
It is what it is. But not one seems to dispute that even if it's all the adjectives you've mentioned it's still true.
No but see that's the thing: it's not true. That woman wasn't sitting in front of the fireplace and kitting while her husband was perpetually fellated. It's false and ignoble to state such a thing; it's a lie.
I don't like her but I hate that kind of misogyny even more.
@ Matthew
Take a deep breath and relax, man. You're obviously new here. I do this little thing called 'humor' on this site. You might wanna google that term before you come up in there talkin' reckless.
And since we're on topic, I'm not exactly making this up. The story broke weeks ago when Clinton's WH transcripts were revealed.
"Sen. Hillary Clinton was in the White House on multiple occasions when her husband had sexual encounters with Monica Lewinsky, according to newly released documents."

I welcome your comments and opinion here, but please take a moment to look around the site before you dive head first into allegations and hyperbole.
Correct url here.
Of course. Humour. Equating her to a prostitute. There's a rhetorical term for that buy I'm now so relaxed from my deep breathing that I can't summon the energy to find it. "A blonde walks into a bar with a sausage under her arm. Bartender asks..." That kind of humour? Dreadfully funny.
I have looked around your site, actually. I heard you on News and Notes and came lookin for it. I was quite shocked to see that you think of Condi Rice as a ...how did you phrase it? A merit to the race?
Condi? Condi Rice?
The living portrait if the neocon collaborationist?
And Hillary's just some dame who got paid to let her husband's tubby interns slobber on his glans.
Humour. Ha!
Now I'm laughing.
