In a calm, even voice, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., refuted the charge by Ken Mehlman, chairman of the Republican National Committee, that she “seems to have a lot of anger,” The New York Times reported.
“I would suggest that the Washington Republicans worry about these devastating budget cuts, the confusion and bureaucratic nightmare in the prescription drug benefit — that that’s where they should be spending their time and energy, instead of trying to divert attention away from their many failures and shortcomings,” Clinton said.
Republicans have criticized Clinton recently for her remarks during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day observance, and her stone face during President Bush’s State of the Union address. Of course, Clinton can take comfort in that these increased attacks likely mean the GOP is worried.

Well, the big story — Hillary Clinton will be running for president in 2008. You know why I think she’s running? I think she finally wants to see what it’s like to sleep in the president’s bed.
Woo hoo! what a knee-slapper, Lewis!
Americans can’t remember Bush’s promises from one week to the next–but discussing Bill’s penis is an endless source of mirth and delight to the right wing–that subject is never forgotten and never grows tiresome.
Isn’t it funny that when a strong women expresses herself, she’s “angry.” When Bush GIVES THE FINGER to reporters, he’s just doing a “guy thing.”
For instance, no one should be at all “angry” about voting machines that don’t actually count votes accurately–
Revote in Ohio After More Votes Than Voters Recorded on Diebold Touch-Screen Voting Machines!Court Orders Special Re-Vote Tomorrow After ‘Failure’ of Montgomery County, OH’s New AccuVote TSX Machines!County one of forty-four to implement new touch-screen machines for last November’s election resulting in inexplicable results…
Diebold Inc., one of America’s largest voting machine companies, likes to claim that there’s never been any substantial problem with their touch-screen machines in any election in America.
You may not be surprised to hear that claim is patently untrue.
As reported in yesterday’s Middletown Journal, a special “re-vote” will be held tomorrow in Montgomery county, OH on an issue where last November’s election results were set aside due to more votes being cast on Diebold’s AccuVote TSX touch-screen voting machines than there were actually registered voters who voted…
FULL STORY: http://www.bradblog.com/archives/00002379.htm
As I distinctly recall she had quite a smirk on her face during the SOTU Address when Bush stated that he didn’t get to dismantle social security.
Simple 8th grade math shows SS will be a disaster very soon. And the dumocrats are PROUD of blocking any repair of the system.If you make $50,000, 15.3% of your paycheck ($7650)will pay almost 25% of my SS. So it takes you and three others to keep me retired.Thank you.
Now think BOOMERS and longer life expectancy.
Way to go dumocrats. You have killed SS and are so proud.
Thinly veiled sexism. It only matters if you think women shouldn’t worry their pretty little heads about political issues. It goes along with an extra burden on women in elections. The media writes on the clothing, make-up, etc. of female candidates much more than men. It is hard to seem credible on foreign policy when the article comments on whether your pumps match your suit. Doesn’t happen with men.
Damn straight, Allie.
Joe–I guess you missed the earlier posts on SS in which the liberal post-ers DESTROYED Bush’s bulls***.
SS is designed to replace about 35-40 percent of your pre-retirement income (up to 90K). Let’s say the median wage is 50K.
That means if you make 50,000 a year, you and your employer pay about 14 percent or 7 thousand in.
When you retire, you’ll take 20 a year out. 7 x 3 = 21,000.
So, boomers’ retirements can be paid by three workers. Right now, there are MORE than three workers.
What was that about the eighth grade math again?
The only thing that threatens SS is the REPUKES (that’s for “Dumbocrats”) tax cuts that shot the national debt into the stratosphere.
Way to go, conservative idiots.
Joe you really ought to take a look at what the rebuplikans really wanted to do with SS. Right now the government secures (insures) SS funds, under the republikan proposal these ‘accounts’ would expose every american to risks they normally would not take with their retirement. There was a reason the AARP opposed this, it does nothing for retired people but put their retirement in jeopardy. The March 2005 estimate is that SS won’t run out of money until 2041.
Right, K.
And you back a few years, and SS was supposed to run out of money in OMG! 2004.
As was already shown, Bush’s plan does not help “shore up the system.” It pulls money OUT of the system.
Even the White House had to admit that privatizing SS won’t help pay the bills.
Of course Hilary is angry, who wouldn’t be with the way Bush has screwed up the country. It will take decades to undo the damage, if it can be undone at all. Anyone with a brain should be angry.
ProudLiberal,You noted in an earlier comment that the right wingnuts seem preoccupied with Bill Clinton’s penis from over 5 years ago.To me, it seems that Dubya has been using his on the middle class ever since.
Good one, Brown!
brown, dayum. Why’d you have to, um, WAVE that image around so close to bedtime? All the warm milk in Wichita won’t stave off the nightmares.
Hillary is only angry because she knows that she is unelectable. She should just hop on her broomstick and ride off into the sunset!
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
So Hillary is angry?Good! I am too! Mostof America is angry with the debacle and shame that is the bush administration.
I am in favor of passing a law that would bar anyone named Clinton or Bush from holding public office.
V.L.R.B!!
And if I have to hear one more person compare blow jobs to war crimes, I’m gonna scream!
I despise shrub but let’s be fair! Clinton and his jewess Allbright bombed Iraq on a weekly basis over those pesky UN Resolutions and those mythical WMDs. Also, it was the clinton regime that put inplace sanctions that killed over one million Iraqis including half a million children and thousands of Christians!
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
What do you care about Iraqis or their children? I thought you were primarily concerned with the WHITE race?
Actually I’m a pretty happy guy! Got a lovely wife, great son, #1 sheep dog in the nation and my man is the President!
Democrats have no plan to win the House and Senate back, Newt and Condolesa will be the next President/Vice president and Damoon has invited me to soak in her hot tub!
Life is good!
Hank
I have no problems with non-Whites in their own countries. I fought and killed in the first gulf war for the zionists and haliburton and it haunts me to this day!
Viva la Raza Blanco!!
While the repubs are fixated on the Clinton below the waistline, and the demos are still counting votes, the average American is asking him/herself what Hillary has to offer.
So far, I have seen an individual who tried to overhaul medical insurance with little or no public, or government support; okayed the war in Iraq ans still aupports it, knowing Bush and his administration screwed-up royally; used a national holiday as a bully pulpit to further her own agenda, and solidify herself with the black community.
Gee . . . typical politician. I am truly amazed.
Oh, and one other thing: I wont vote for her. I have this thing about socialists.
J M Walker,
If Hilary is a socialist, God, what must that make me?
Questions of labelling aside, I agree with most of your criticisms. She can forget about my support. I don’t think the country can take another four years of Bush/Clinton triangulation and wedge politics.
Looks to me like since 88 it was Bush then Clinton then Bush and finally Clinton again!
The republicans are praying that Hillary really is the democratic candidate.
Dear CF,
You asked, “If Hilary is a socialist, God, what must that make me?”
I’m weak, but I’m not going to be so weak as to answer that!
I think that, unlike many on this BLOG, you at least do a little research and offer positive ideas.
You’re wrong of course! But if you are to the left of Hilary…
Help me I’m weakening…
Hank
Hey, at least you guys don’t have her as your senator!
According to a new poll, Democrats are favoring Hillary Hemroid Clinton for the Democratic presidential nominee for 2008. Democrats say they are looking for a fresh and exciting new way to get their asses handed to them
“Democrats say they are looking for a fresh and exciting new way to get their asses handed to them”
LOL. Prime stuff.
The poster girl for why the government should pay for cosmetic surgery and in this case, a shit-load of it.
R. Lewis seems to think he’s voting on HOTorNOT.com
The media have already decided the Hillary is going to be the Dem candidate.
I don’t see it. She has way too many negatives. Her very name, Clinton, is a Pavlovian bell to foam at the mouth right-wing.
She has also lost the Democratic wing of the Democratic party with her gutless stance on the Iraq War and her lack of leadership on things that matter–budget deficit, education, help for the poor, tax cuts for the rich.
She DID vote against Alito, so that helped her a little bit in the eyes of progressives.
I think it’s much more likely that somebody like Wes Clarke, that’s GENERAL Wes Clarke to you kkkonservatives, John Edwards, or Russ Feingold will emerge as the real front-runner.
There’s no reason Al Gore couldn’t mount an effective campaign in 2008. After all, even the right-wing has to admit that the man WON the popular election by half-a-million votes in 2000.
R. Lewis–
Hillary apparently isn’t in your “babe” category like Margaret Thatcher, Karen Hughes, Barbara Bush or Ann Coulter.
“Better to stay silent and be thought the fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
The democrats need desperately to find someone without a public record to run in the next election.
Wes Clark would be easily discredited. His peers (that’s other GENERALS, for PL), have nothing good to say about him.
“Shelton, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was Clark’s boss in 1999 when Clark was unceremoniously told that he was being removed from his position as Supreme Allied Commander, Europe. “I’ve known Wes for a long time,” Shelton said. “I will tell you the reason he came out of Europe early had to do with integrity and character issues, things that are very near and dear to my heart. . . . Wes won’t get my vote.”
It shows real honor and integrity for his former colleague to say that about Gen. Clarke, doesn’t it?
Maybe they’ll start a GENERALS FOR TRUTH club and get invited on every Fox news show to assassinate his character like they did Kerry’s . . .
Regardless of what you might think about the man who said those things, the fact remains that they have been said. And it would be used to great effect against him.
As for the other two possibles you name, Feingold is a guy who carries a lot of respect in Washington, but not much name recognition. Edwards isn’t worth discussing as a serious candidate.
ProudLib,kkkonservatives? Come on now, this is getting silly. I am a conservative but I never have been a part of the klan. NY is my home-state, and it’s the opposite of KS. There are approx. 5 dems to 1 repubs there. It’s an economics thing. Kerry didn’t win by a landslide there because albeit his being Catholic, (like 50% of NY) He was pro-abortion, and that was anathema to us.
Hillary is gorgeous! No doubt about it.
I can hardly wait for the 2008 presidential elections! The democratic primaries are better than the old SNL! We’ll have several losers from the 2004 election cycle plus a few new ones! A few more presidential campaigns like the last one and we’ll end up with more losers on the stage than in the audience.
And right in the middle will be Saint Hilary! She’ll have to answer criticisms from her peers. Her PEERS!! You think she’s mad now? Wait until that garden knome Lieberman criticizes her for some of her left-wing policies followed by criticism from The Reverend Al Sharpton for being to far to the right! It’ll be better than the bar scene from Star Wars!
And in the end for poor ol’ Billary it will be all for naught! She can’t get far enough to the center for the moderates in the democratic party to forgive her for all of her lies and disengenous promises and she won’t be able to get far enough to the left for all of the George Soros big money machines to back her.
And they won’t be able to blame it on the republicans, she’ll be eaten by her own kind!
Meanwhile Newt will be able to ’steal’ another election!
Hank
Lieberman the Garden Gnome–damn, I wish I’d said that. Gotta hand it to Hank; even a stopped clock, blah blah blah.
Oh, and don’t you mean that it’ll be JED who steals the election? He has more experience at that, you know.
Duh–that’s JEB. It’s been a long day.
No, I meant Newt. Jeb will give him Florida, all he has to do is allow the absentee ballots from servicemen to be counted!
Hank
CrusX–you may be conservative in NY, but you’re not conservative in Kansas.
To be conservative here means that Bush is the savior of our country, Bush earned everything he’s got because of his honesty and hard-work, Bush shills are real Americans and everybody else are “terrorists,” and if Bush ever makes a mistake (not that he ever has, mind you), it would be because the Dumbocrats made him do something unwise.
Get with the program, Dude.
BTW, Crusader, how are liking the fact that you’ve been supporting the Republikkkans for decades now, and abortion on demand has not been stopped or even curtailed?
Does the phrase “I’m a tool” mean anything to you?
ProudLib,Really, didn’t know it was like that here. Are you sure you’re talking about MODERATE conservatives and not generalizing ALL conservatives into the Far-Right?
I despise shrub, I am and have always been vehemently against the Iraq war and I am against globalism and “free trade”; does that make me a liberal?
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
Ian,maybe not, but you’re still a closet-self-hating-hispanic. :)
BTW, Crusader, how are liking the fact that you’ve been supporting the Republikkkans for decades now, and abortion on demand has not been stopped or even curtailed?
Does the phrase “I’m a tool” mean anything to you?
How pray tell, am I a tool? Do you think there are no minorities in the Republican party? Or do you think that just because I’m a minority, I belong to the Democrats? I’ll think for myself ProudLib, i’d hate the Dems to do my thinking for me.
Where would the poor negro be today without a jew or a self hating White leftist to tell them what to do or what to think? rotflmosao
V.L.R.B!!
Ian,Gosh! I just don’t know! they’d probably end up at the same place where closet-self-hating-hispanics go when they think and do everything their neo-Nazi masters tell them. :)
Damoon associates personaly with Hank?
Damoon say it aint so!
I would not be particularly pleased if Hillary was the nominee. I am still angry that Al Gore has not yet assumed his RIGHTFUL PLACE as president. And I am concerned about the bush clinton bush clinton dynasty.
That said, I say again that I embrace Hillary Clintons anger for it reflects my own.
You blind followers of bush best look out. See there is something of truth in the repetition of lies…….namely that liberals are unpatriotic. Say it often enough and it starts to take on truth.
Would I defend this nation as it currently operates under bush. No I would not. I’d hope whatever shook out from the battle would be better than this dark nightmare. And I am far from alone.
Hey, I have all sorts of weirdos as friends! Hank, swimsuits are optional!
Dear Damoon,
I make my own bubbles.
I’m getting a Surrey next week, Samuel and I will be able to take your whole family for a drive!
Hank
Always had my suspicions about you Damoon.
Best thing I can think to say………Ewwwwwwwww
JR, don’t be so hard on Hank, his bark is much worse than his bite. He can’t help the fact that he’s a ditto head, it’s a terminal illness, no hope for a cure.
Hank, looking forward to the ride with Samuel!
Dear Damoon,
I can hardly wait to get it! Bought the horse and buggy from the same man a few years ago. Could have had the buggy or the surrey. Picked the the doctor’s buggy because … well you know!
Joyce told me if I had enough money in my milk can I could buy the surrey too. Been counting quarters for two days! Got enough.
If its nice on the 19th we’ll come by.
Hank
PS Hey JR if you saw me you’ld let me fart in yor hot tub too!
PPS Just to keep this on topic, My horse is prettier than Hilary! (coming or going)
He’s prettier than you too, Hank!
