I share your outrage at this latest comment, as well as the way Clinton has run her campaign overall.

However, every time you call her a bitch, witch, cow, or heifer, it feels like a slap in the face to me, because those words are only used for troublesome women. How can you be so astute at calling her out on dog whistle politics and not be bothered by your own use of dehumanizing language?

I think it's safe to tell Harold Ford, Jr., that Obama doesn't need his advice; he's doing quite well on his own.

Just like Hillary, if Harold's looking for a gig in the Obama Administration, talking down to the man won't get him dog catcher, which is all Harold's qualified for, anyway.

Harold Ford, Jr's advice for Senator Obama.

Go Meet Them, Senator

That should be: Her political career is done!

How can any sane person trust this woman with the office of the president? She is a psycho!

NYC/Caribbean,

Exactly. Hillary should be impeached from the Senate. She's not worthy of that seat! And it's out of the question of her ever becoming the President of the United States! Her political is done!

The DNC will not pressure her because they waited too long. Now even if she "gracefully" leaves, her supporters will scream sexism. She has poisoned the well so deeply nobody can drink from it now.

I don't know how any one can support her with these statements. We are not blowing things out of proportion. She is not misspeaking. This is how she feels and such a person should not be in the U.S. Senate and def. not president.

If that's the case, every woman who's ever been cheated on by her man should be in every facet of the United States Government, if Hillary's humiliation entitled her to the White House.

Not only is the road to hell paved with good intentions, it got paved by entitlements as well.

Olbermann was definitely on point.

Add me to the chorus who have said from the beginning, that she thought she was ENTITLED TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA because she let that man publicly humiliate her.

I have always said ' I don't think so' to that rationale.

The Christian Progressive Libe — Fri, 23 May 2008 23:03:00 -0000

Olbermann's "Special Comment" was so blistering, my eyebrows were singed.

All I want to hear from Hillary is "I am hereby suspending my campaign and throwing my support to Senator Obama..."

Forget about Donna Brasile having an ethical position....she's all about straddling the fence so she doesn't upset anyone....its all about money for her..

@ Smoothie and Craig

...and the congregation says AMEN!

All this experience is one day about all her husband did during his term as President.

Then, the next is her years in the Senate, which isn't much more than Senator Obama's.

So what exactly is Hillary Clinton's basis for becoming the President of the most powerful country in the world?

Well it's what you've said, Smoothie and that's all it is.

"I am a woman who rose above my philandering husband. I suffered a public embarrassment beyond anything imaginable and therefore I deserve to be compensated."

Well Mrs. Clinton, it is not the American people who owe you for tolerating your husband's infidelity. It is he that owes you.

My people, my family and I will not pay for Bill Clinton's sins.

I'm out y'all I just can't bear to read anymore tonight. Have a safe Holiday weekend.

@craig and n.mahana,

sadly Chris Matthews pointed this out one day and got the hell and fury that was the Clinton Campaign..

I mean, not to get all investigative but what honestly gave her the right to assume she was the "frontrunner"..

HER ENTIRE CAMPAIGN IS BASED ON A BLOWJOB. Bill doesnt get brain in the oval office, and we never hear from this cyborg of a succubus ever again...

HER CAMPAGIN SLOGAN SHOULDVE BEEN, VOTE FOR ME, I let my husband screw around more then a drill bit with a lose fitting...And I kept fighting...

GTFOH....At her best, Ida gave her a chance to oneday be a helluva Attorney GENERAL. Now, she can go over to Fox and take on a role similar to Pat Buchanons over at MSNBC..

President Clinton,

I put this own you You created this nightmare 20+ yrs ago when you were out there getting BJ'S and scrwewing around with Gennifer Flowers..

Go home, apologize for being THE WORST, HUSBAND IN THE WORLD, and then look her square in the eye say this

"Babe, its time to go home."

craig hickman, if you are right and she is a sociopath...the final act is only begining.
i keep hoping she will recognise the risk to her legacy if she out naders nader.

that said, the sociopath theory is rather worrisome.

we will be praying for her enablers to stop enabling.

sadly, as with bush and nixon, millions of americans like this type.

n.mahana and smoothie,

I told my mate months ago that the scene in the White House bedroom after the Lewinsky humiliation looked a bit like this:

Bill on his knees, red-faced and blathering, pulls on his hair. Hillary sits in front of a mirror wiping of her makeup.

"What can I do, Hillary? Tell me, what can I do? I'll do anything, just tell me!!"

Hillary pivots to him, 1950s B-movie style, her eyes shrink to slits, and she barks, "Make. Me. A President."

The best thing that could happen to her is if her entire staff walked out.

But I'm not holding my breath.

"Keep making it more abundently clear that you were nothing more then a woman scorned who thought you could flip infidelity into a presidency.."

@Smoothie

I've been thinking and saying this all alone. I 100% cosign your comment. It's spot on!

Re: NO "DE FACTO" THIRD TERM FOR THE CLINTONS

Craig,

That's really sad. What's even sadder is Hillary has NOBODY around her that loves her enough to tell her to stop.

I suppose we'll see Geraldine Ferraro on TV saying how this controversy was blown up by the black journalists and that it's all Obama's fault.

SMH

smoothie — Fri, 23 May 2008 22:13:00 -0000

I think the real question now is, if youre supproting her at this very moment what possibly could be the reason?

What evidence has she provided you that she's wotth fighting for?

I actually am rooting for her to screw up more.

Keep making it more abundently clear that you were nothing more then a woman scorned who thought you could flip infidelity into a presidency..

Let the DNC know that at this point Hillary is making the DNC look bad...if the DNC doesn't act and push her out now then one has to wonder about their effectiveness.

There must be consequences for this for Hillary, and at this point it can only be pulling the plug on her candidacy.

Obama is worthy of our support; we'll see if the DNC is.

Best comment I've heard from Wolfson:

"She seems constitutionally incapable of saying 'I screwed up'"...

Contact the superdelegates and the DNC and urge them to get Hillary out of the race ASAP.

Olbermann was on point. Can't wait to get my hands on a transcript.

Unbelievable!

This reminds me of my college days, when the Kappa "bruhs" tried to get me to join the pledge line of their fraternity.

"You mean to tell me that I'm supposed to let you kick my ass EVERY night, get hollered at EVERY day, get humiliated in front of my classmates whenever you feel like it, and then, when I cross over, magically embrace you as my brother? Sheeeit!

The more I look at Hillary's face on the news, the more I see Bette Davis - from the snarl of her lips to the way she cuts her eyes, she has Davis's signature moves down pat. This woman doesn't need to win the nomination, she needs to win an Oscar - 'cause she sure is acting like a Class A beeyatch!

The saddest thing about this is she isn't alone - there are LOTS of people whose blood pressure is off the charts now that they have to seriously consider voting for a brown skinned man for president.

The fall is going to be hell. Be ready for the hoses! The dogs won't be far behind!
