Where in the world

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 23, 2008 04:40 PM

Update: Here’s the vid.

***
I’ll be on Fox News today at around 5:30pm Eastern for The Big Story. The topic is Obama vs. The Two-Headed Monster.

Check out the WSJ’s editorial on the education of Barack if you haven’t already read it. Message: Welcome to the club, Sen. Obama.

And check out Billy Boy’s latest purple fit–lashing out at a…CNN reporter:

Bill Clinton became visibly upset Wednesday over comments by a prominent South Carolina Democrat that compared the former president’s actions on the trail to those of infamous Republican strategist Lee Atwater.

In an interview with CNN’s Jessica Yellin, Dick Harpootlian, a former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party and a supporter of Barack Obama, said some of Bill Clinton’s recent remarks on the campaign trail were appeals based on race and gender. He said the comments were meant to “suppresses the vote, demoralize voters, and distort the record,” and said they were “reminiscent of Lee Atwater.”

Clinton sharply disputed the charge, and lashed out at Yellin for raising the question.

“You live for this. This hurts the people of South Carolina,” he said. “Because the people of South Carolina come to these meetings and ask questions about what they care about. And what they care about is not what’s going to be in the news coverage tonight, because you don’t care about it.

“What you care about is this. And the Obama people know that. So they just spin you up on this and you happily go along.

Damned Clinton News Network!

    Some people have been waiting for HC to have a meltdown moment. Maybe they should have keeping an eye on WJC.

    The former president said when asked to comment on the deafening media silence surrounding the March for LIFE.

    I sure would like to see what would happen if somebody did actually try to goad slick.

    Ahem…”Mr. Clinton, whom were you actually referring to when you said you did not have sex with that woman?”

    “Mr. Clinton, why did you really bomb that aspirin factory?”

    “Isn’t it true, Mr. Clinton, that you passed on a chance to get bin Laden?”

    You wouldn’t need Photoshop for that shade of pi**ed.

    It is easy, the one running against Bush.

    I hoped that helped! :wink:

    How do you suppose it would play in the press if any of the males candidates’ spouses were to make those kinds of comments?

    Yea, me too.

    This is just further proof that Billary has had their two terms in office.

    He said she didn’t have any input, she didn’t attend any of the meetings, yet she says she has all this Whitehouse experience. Well which is it?

    No, Mr. Clinton, you live for this. You and Hillary have placed yourselves in this position, one of being up for public inspection; no one is forcing her to run for president, nor are they forcing you to be an active spokesman for her campaign. You have only yourselves and your insatiable greed for power and the limelight to blame.

    MM, U did good on Gibson. If you could have seen the ‘dem’ gal’s face, it was ‘white’ with rage that you dare say anything against the C’s. I was laughing. Keep up the good work.

    Desertlover, checked it. Yes, I expect Chelsea to run for Congress, once she gets out more in the public eye. The democratic party, as it did with Hillary, will pick a state with an overwhelming democratic voting base, no one important running in the primary, and a lot of money available, to put her right up for an easy election. Michelle, watched the show. Very good. You showed some nice poise, versus Kristin, who tried to talk over John Gibson.

    Imagine if Obama does get the nomination and picks Hillary as his running mate. I would take out a huge life insurance policy on him myself.

    Ya know, JS, if his intention is to pick her, he likely already has his life insurance policy in place.

    Arkancide is considered a pre-existing condition for anyone in the path of a Clinton.

    You are right on the money, DB.

    The Clinton’s live for the hunt for power and attention. If they don’t like the heat, they should quit putting themselves in the fire.

    I would have loved to see that. ;-)

    Let’s not insult the late Lee Atwater. He was a genius. Billy boy is just angry.

    Since Bill Clinton is not a “candidate” covered by the McCain Feingold gag rule, there’s no reason why the GOP can’t run ad after ad after ad in the run-up to the general election showing him red-faced, wagging his (um) digit, and lying through his teeth about Monica and every other whopper he’s told. The voice-over need only ask voters if they really want another four years of this.

    As much as I detest McCain, an ad like that would send me into the booth to vote for him, rather than endure an American version of Juan and Evita Peron. Or maybe Bonnie and Clyde’s a better analogy.
