   I could have sworn I heard them reporting on FOX this morning that the pic was photoshopped.

   Still, it is a ‘funny’ development.

   No they speculated and wondered if it was Photoshoped and then said that NBC had confirmed its authenticity before questioning Hillary about it on the Today Show.

   But still it bit Hillary in her broadest point. Too funny.

   Finally something to brighten up my Friday! Thanks Michelle I have been in a pretty bad mood this morning. Good to see that “she who must not be named” continues to show us how unqualified she is to be POTUS. She can’t even dig dirt on her opponents without compromising herself. LOL!

   Bill has already said, “I don’t remember him. I wouldn’t know him if he walked through that door.”

   The Clintons are famous for their (conveniently) faulty memories. Does anyone remember how many times Hillary testified that she couldn’t remember anything about anything during the Whitewater hearings?

   MSM: “Nothing here folks. Move along.”

   It will be fun to hear the Clinton spin but it is only a picture. Besides, guilt by association only works on Republicans. How else could the Clintons (not t mentions the rest of the Dems) be so competely immune from all the dirty doner scandals?

    You mean the way that CBS confirmed the authenticity of letters proving GWB was AWOL from the National Guard?

    Still, if there is anything less presidential than someone who faults another person for an act but who commits that same very act themselves…

    Oh wait. Bill Clinton. Blue Dress. Intern. Hmmm. Okay, there is something less presidential. Of course, they are both named Clinton.

    This is priceless.

    It will be entertaining to see how the Clintons spin it.

    I noticed that the rezko/obama info is still up at Hillary’s warroom, hillaryis44.org, where they pretend their not paid by the Clinton organization and post incriminating mildly exaggerated items about Obama. I’m just not sure how anyone creates a website like that with a straight face, ignoring Clinton pardons, Clinton jailed fundraisers, Clinton dead associates and dead lawyers, shenanigans in the Oval Office. That’s not even going back to the early 90’s for crap.

    Obama’s going to lose unless he gets feisty and uses some of the low hanging fruit.

    Skeletons in her closet may prove to be beyond repair.

    A group that lobbies for needle exchanges, for allowing more immigrants with HIV/AIDS to legally enter the country, and for condom distribution in prisons received a $303,000 federal earmark pushed by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).

    That was one of 261 earmarks Clinton personally helped usher through Congress. That’s more earmarks than any other member of Congress seeking the presidency, according to an analysis by the watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW).

    This specific appropriation is from the Department of Justice and is aimed at fighting methamphetamine use - that’s what the Gay Men’s Health Crisis Center is supposed to do with the taxpayer-funded money.

    I may be a little too optimistic in saying this, but I think Hillary was just handed her “Nixon Sweats Bullets/Nixon-Kennedy Debate” moment, and when coupled with Obama’s expected win tomorrow in SC, this couldn’t bode well for her on Super-Tuesday. Hopefully, she will exit the campaign in March and be but a bad memory in the minds of voters everywhere.

    Lauer then presented Clinton with a photo of Rezko posing between Sen. Clinton as first lady and her husband during his presidency. He asked if she remembered meeting Rezko.

    Clinton said she did not, and parried, “I don’t have a 17-year relationship with him.”

    No, but she does have a much longer relationship with a lying, philanderer who was only the second president in US history to face impeachment proceedings.

    Given the choice betweeen disgraced president or indicted slum lord, I think I’d rather hang out with the slum lord.

    BHO might also ask Hillary about sandy Burglar advising her Highness despite his past legal problems. Of course the result for him was far less than what happened with Libby. Funny how the memory of a couple of media hacks had greater weight than Scooter’s.

    Years ago Rush had a parody of HRC and Whitewater wherein she says she doesn’t recall and has no memory of anything at all. Convenient amnesia and parsing of words serve the Clinton well, along with their allies in the press. At least the paper of record adores her and McCain. How likely would a Hillary/McCain ticket be if he doesn’t get the GOP nod? Can the dems patch things up between Obambi and the witch? Or would shyster Edwards get veep nod?

    Does anyone remember that during his first election run and entire first term that his friends all bragged about him having a photographic memory? That brings up a silly question: Was he lying then, or is he lying now?

    Silly question because he lies all of the time.

    Also, he didn’t just face impeachment proceedings. He was impeached, but not removed.

    If you’re still taking nominations for the Clinton campaign’s new theme song, I offer this from Peter Gabriel:

    Strange is your language and I have no decoder
    Why don’t you make your inentions clear
    With eyes to the sun and your mouth to the soda
    Saying, “Tell me the truth, you got nothing to fear
    Stop staring at me like a bird of prey
    I’m all mixed up, I got nothing to say
    I don’t remember
    I don’t remember

    I don’t remember, I don’t recall
    I got no memory of anything at all
    I don’t remember, I don’t recall
    I got no memory of anything

    Let’s talk about some names from the glorious Clinton past. Matt Lauer won’t do it but it’s worth a mention. Let’s start with Carlos A. Vignall. He was convicted in federal court of cocaine trafficking and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. By coincidence, on January 20, 2001, Bill Clinton suddenly decided to commute Vignall’s sentence. How did Bill Clinton suddenly pluck some obscure two bit cocaine dealer out of the air and commute his sentence? Had Vignall, in prison, discovered a cure for AIDs or cancer? Nope, he didn’t do either. But one Hugh Rodham Clinton had been paid $200,000.00 to lobby for Vignall’s release. And Hillary said she knew nothing about it. Obama should bring it up. Matt Lauer will never do it. Neither will Hilaary sistahs Diane Sawyer and Katie Couric. And then that brings us to another name from the glorious Clinton past: one Almon Glass Braswell. Braswell was convicted of mail fraud and perjury and was under a criminal investigation for various farreaching frauds when on Jan. 20, 2001, Bill Clinton suddenly decided that Braswell was worthy of a pardon. Had Braswell found a cure for heart disease or pancreatic cancer? Nope. He had not. But he had one thing in his favor. Old buddy Hugh Rodaham had been paid $200,000.00 to secure Braswell’s freedom,and apprently Braswell got his money’s worth.

    Well, to be somewhat fair, the photo looks like it’s a grip-and grin from a party. Presidents are always having their pictures taken with people they don’t really know. Just because this guy paid some money to go to some DNC fundraiser, or whatever it was, doesn’t mean they know him.

    Still pretty embarrassing, though.

    I speak with first hand experience. It costs you $2,500 bucks to have your picture taken with that witch. Naturally, I declined the invitation; the host of that fundraiser had me confused with some other, less rational, free-thinking person. So, regardless of her so-called loss of memory, Rezko did made a donation to whatever fundraiser du jour the Clintons were cooking up at the time.

    I’m no fan of Hillary Clinton - however do keep in mind the woman has a skin as thick as a crocodile’s and probably just as much shame.

    And “taking initiative” doesn’t equal “inventing”.
    What Al Gore Really Said about the Internet (Snopes)
    I stand by my prediction Al Gore will be the Democratic candidate for President in 2008.
    While Gore has been reported to say “he wasn’t a candidate” neither did he make a “Sherman Statement”.

    I see Edwards as going the distance, getting just enough delegates to keep either Clinton or Obama from “going over the top” with the result being a repeat of 1968 where a deadlock occurs and Al Gore is brought out as a “consensus” candidate.

    My reasoning is Obama and Clinton have been slinging way too much mud at each other - which Democratic-leaning voters find a major turn-off and create grave concerns about either’s electability.

    Keep in mind the GOP this year has the advantage of knowing who they’re up against.

    To expound on the point I was making with the “Nixon Seats Bullets…” comment in #17, I was not implying that she was visibly sweating or unnerved by the “gotcha” moment - in fact, it was much to the contrary, she was very calm and collected and behaved as though she were expecting it.
    My point was that the moment, which brought voters the live image of Hillary being confronted by the facts, galvanized voters’ perceptions of her as untrustworthy and distant in a manner reminiscent of Nixon’s debate with Kennedy, which cost Nixon the election because he came off as untrustworthy.
