One of Hillary Clinton’s staunch supporters says that her campaign people are using an “iron first instead of a velvet glove,” according to Patrick Healy of the New York Times. He said the Clinton campaign is going to have to use a lighter approach against the “silky” Barack Obama.
After Clinton’s eight years as a vocal and demonstrative first lady and six years in the Senate, the American people should know by now that any velvet gloves might just be covering brass knuckles.

Well, gee, Hillary might need some brass knuckles under the velvet gloves, given the mind set of folks like Matt Drudge… Sunday nite, Drudge made the claim that Hillary needs to take pounds off of her posterior… He said after looking at pictures of Hillary’s back side, he has decided she is just too fat!! (Yes, I know, now the right wing talk shows will be looking at Hillary’s back side now, and making all kinds of vile comments) I suppose RUSH will come up with a new song for her posterior view?? Oh gee, can we wait for that?? Please???
Is this all that the right wing wacko’s have to do?? Look at Hillary’s hiney?? If that’s their next point of attack, where will they stop?? Answer: They will stop at NOTHING… Sad, isnt it??

Is she?
Being overweight is a health issue, after all.
As long as we pretend we don’t see extra poundage – we continue to deny that we have a problem.
Hillary’s rear-end is the last thing I ever want to see, so I don’t really know if it is too large.
Is it? Medically-speaking?
Hillary’s problem is not her weight or her campaign. Hillary’s problem is Hillary.
Her problem isn’t her fat a$$. Its all the skeletons she has in her closet.
Maybe, just maybe, she should break with LWGH (left wing Godless Horde) tradition and tell people what she actually plans to DO if elected.
Not what she thinks people want to hear but what she plans to DO once in the Oval Office. ( remember HER health care plan) Also it might be helpful is she made it clear whether her husband was going to be part of her administration, because when we’re talking about embarrassment, having him back in a position of power would be mortifying, for all of us.
As a card carrying member of the LWGH (well, actually I go to church–but since it isn’t one of those churches where we roll in the aisles it probably doesn’t count . . . ), let me just say that the best thing for the Democratic party would be if Ms. I-Voted-for-the-War would drop out.
We leftists do not like her.
Now is not the time to “compromise” with the right.
It’s time to crush them with their own failed policies.

OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, “It’s Not Easy Being Green.”
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, “We shall Overcome.” Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s sake.
Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote!
SolDevVB – You are so correct!
Heh, that’s why we’re gonna beat you people like a rug, SDVB.
While you’re ginning up fantastical children’s stories, we’re simply going to point out the reality right now . . .
IraqJobs and EconomyHealth careNational debtPension securityHonesty and openness in gov’t
Now . . . what were you saying about ants and spiders . . .
It is disgusting that anyone would point out her weight. She’s NOT fat, her body is just fine. This is another yet sexist goddamn comment and it p’s me off.
If Hillary were 300 lbs, it might MIGHT be an issue about health, but that’s not exactly what his comments were aimed at now were they? Women do NOT need to be rails to be healthy and attractive. It is dangerous to be insinuating so. Women are SUPPOSED to have curves.
Women are SUPPOSED to have curves.

My thoughts exactly Pmom!!
Why is it that the Righties are the only ones that comment on someone’s looks? personally, I have never looked at Hillary’s posterior. And if you want to talk about fat people (even medically speaking – GS) – then there are several candidates in the Republican Party that would meet the criteria for fat asses. Oops, some of them just have fat heads – sorry.
