Update: Dirt-digger quits…

The Really Truly Hillary Gallery

Like I said this morning, the Democrats are their own worst enemies. I’ve been watching the Hillary-Obama-drug use bomb implosion unfold over the past day with morbid fascination and pure, unadulterated schadenfreude.

Now, Drudge is headlining in WWIV font: SO SORRY, SHE SAID: CLINTON APOLOGIZES TO OBAMA OVER DRUG HIT

The link goes to a brief squib from Mark Halperin at Time:

On tarmac at Reagan Airport en route to debate, Clinton tells rival that negative, personal characterizations are not a part of her campaign.

Disavows comments by big-shot New Hampshire supporter Billy Shaheen.

She “hucked up,” too.

Hillary the Inevitable, Hillary the Invincible, Hillary the Clean?

We hardly knew ye.

***

Afterwards, Hillary ordered staffers to get back to work and be on alert for “any unethical tactics our opponents may use.”

Snort.

    Why she’s a liar to, shocking. She is right though it’s not a part of her campaign it’s her total campaign.

    According to The Post’s Web site, Mr. Shaheen said, “It’ll be: ‘When was the last time? Did you ever give drugs to anyone? Did you sell them to anyone?’ There are so many openings for Republican dirty tricks. It’s hard to overcome.”

    Mr. Shaheen went on to say, “And I’ll be damned if I let them get there ahead of me.”
    OK, I made that last part up.

    LMAO Jaded, Total campaign. You caught her little out. SHe can claim that she said it’s not “part” of my campaign, but you nailed her. It is Her TOTAL campaign. Jaded, you deserve an award for picking out Clinton double talk. Beware of Arkancide or Hsuicide because you have talent in picking out the Clinton’s parcings.

    Life’s a B*tch, so don’t vote for one (disclaimer, not saying to not vote for a women, just Hillary)

    Let’s see, how do we keep Obaminations drug use into the press? Talk about it, then deny that you talked about it, the later apologize for talking about his “drug use” and use “drug use” as much as possible in the apology. So now the question must be asked (please don’t ban me Michelle) Did Monica inhale the cigaar smoke?

    Typical liberal projection. They always seem to copy and paste their own souls onto the perceived intentions of their enemies.

    A shame she couldn’t say this to all of her previous political victims, from Arkansas to today. Well, she’s on record now, lol.

    That is a very accurate statement. I’ve always been amazed at how the left points fingers and makes accusations of Republicans and conservatives that are actually describing themselves or their actions exactly! It’s the lack of a mirror syndrome along with the total absence of principles.

    How many times has this occurred in the Clinton campaign? Some staffer comes out and makes a snide or really low blow comment about one of their opponents, be it a fellow Democrat or Republican, all the media comes out and says”hey, that was a cheap shot, you can’t do that” and then, Her Royal Clintoness hits the airwaves saying how their campaign does not approve of such things and that they run a smooth, clean campaign and all the usual BS to make herself look as if she had nothing to do with it, and all the media is appeased, her supporters are appeased, and the message has been put forth and even the staffe who made the “boo boo” retains their job.

    Yes ladies and gentlemen, they really do think people are just this stupid. And you know what? The Dems are that stupid and it has been working for over a year now. No one on their side has called her on it yet.

    We have another saying in the south, “Slick as owl s**t.” My brother says it all the time about Slick and HRC.
    They are both snake oil salesmen (salespersons?). They should both either be in
    prison or so persona non grata that absolutely no one would ever speak to either one
    of them again, for all that they have done. The MSM and the Dems forgive them everything and anything and continue to hang on their shirt tails. I am wondering what will happen to them if (like the governor’s office of Arkansas) she either doesn’t
    get the nomination or loses the election. Will they fade into the woodwork or find
    some other way to stay in the limelight.
    I do know that dirty tricks and smut campaigning will reign supreme in the HRC camp and she will continue to deny, deny, deny, deny, deny………………………….
    The libs will believe her.

    On the first day of Christmas, Hill-ar-y accuse-ed me, of a joint at a high school party.

    On the second day of Christmas, Hill-ary-y gave to me, a transparent apology.

    It’s ripe for parody folks. Oh, and fyi, if the drug reference isn’t exactly reflective of the circumstances of Obama’s actual drug use. . .it’s because I don’t really care about it enough to have looked into said circumstances.

    The libs will desperately believe her because they don’t have any other choice – they can’t believe the truth – they’re running away from the truth. So, it becomes a choice of which lie to accept as truth.

    Just read a short, very interesting piece on HRC on Moderate Voice, written by Justin
    Gardner, entitled, “So That’s Why Hillary Seems Like The ‘Heir Apparent’ “. In it he states
    that Mark Penn want to run her for “re-election” as if she had already been serving as a
    co-president. Now, that has to be the most presumptive thing that I have ever heard
    when it comes to politics and I thought that I had heard it all until now.
    I have to wonder, if he had succeeded in implementing this tactic, would the rest of the
    Dems and the MSM have gone along with it?
    What ever am I thinking? Of course they would have!

    Again, on the Moderate Voice by Shaun Mullen – Hillary Clinton: Armed and

    “Don’t give me any stuff about Shaheen’s remarks being unauthorized; the man
    is constantly at Mrs. Clinton’s side when she campaigns in New Hampshire and
    is well aware of how far over the line he is allowed to go.
    Shaheen should have fired himself or Mrs. Clinton could have shown him the door when she apologized.
    But he didn’t and she didn’t.”
    This is in reference to Obama and his drug use which was “leaked” by Shaheen
    and which HRC claims to have not authorized. (She never knows anything. Either she is related to Sgt Schultz [’I Know Nothing!”} or she is absolutely
    brain dead).

    The question, however, is what will Obama’s answers to these questions be? It will, of course, matter if it’s more than just a smoked joint or two. And the Clinton’s can’t lose on this one if it has any semblance of truth (which I would assume it does or it wouldn’t have been brought up.)

    Thing I like most about Obama talking about the drugs he has taken and all the rest of the cadidates admitting to doing drugs and their supporters being OK with that, is that these are the same people who for more than eight years have been on GWB’s case, making fun of him, saying how he shouldn’t be allowed to be President and such because of his past, stating how he obviously has been using again, were relentless over Rush’s problems with his back pain post surgery etc. Well, showing true Liberal hypocrisy, instead of holding their false gods up to the same standards and ridicule that they held President Bush up to, that they held Rush up to and any other Republican Senator, Congressman or any other Republican in general, they contiue to worship their false god and say things like it makes them more human, makes them more approachable etc.

    Just listening to their double speak makes me want to wretch. How do you Liberals live with yourselves? Do you just plain not realize how disgusting and pathetic you are with lying and being so openly hypocritical all the time? Maybe it is a good thing you don’t want children and want to be sterilyzed and such. Who wants people like you to raise children to think that being hypocrites and liars is the correct way to treat fellow human beings. Seriously, how do you sleep? Tollerant my butt.
