Hillary for Vice-President?

Posted by gimpel on September 25, 2006 - 6:27 AM

Cause Bill obviously wants Richard Clarke to be the next President.

He mentioned his name 10 times in a short interview over the weekend.

All right. Let's look at what Richard Clarke said. Do you think Richard Clarke has a vigorous attitude about bin Laden?
He worked for Ronald Reagan; he was loyal to him. He worked for George H. W. Bush; he was loyal to him. He worked for me, and he was loyal to me. He worked for President Bush; he was loyal to him.
They downgraded him and the terrorist operation.
Now, look what he said, read his book and read his factual assertions — not opinions — assertions. He said we took vigorous action after the African embassies.
All I'm asking is, anybody who wants to say I didn't do enough, you read Richard Clarke's book.
So I tried and failed. When I failed, I left a comprehensive anti-terror strategy and the best guy in the country, Dick Clarke, who got demoted.
I want to know how many you asked, "Why did you fire Dick Clarke?"
And Richard Clarke made it clear in his testimony...
When all you have to do is read Richard Clarke's book to look at what we did in a comprehensive, systematic way to try to protect the country against terror.
From the terrorist incidents under Reagan to the terrorist incidents from 9/11, only one: Richard Clarke.
And all I can say to anybody is, you want to know what we did wrong or right, or anybody else did? Read his book.
My Republican secretary of defense — and I think I'm the only president since World War II to have a secretary of defense of the opposite party — Richard Clarke and all the intelligence people said that I ordered a vigorous attempt to get bin Laden and came closer, apparently, than anybody has since.
And you guys try to create the opposite impression, when all you have to do is read Richard Clarke's findings and you know it's not true. It's just not true.

Sounds a bit scripted.
But my oh my, won’t Hillary be jealous?
And imagine the jokes- with Bill connected to anything with the word "vice" attached...

Richard Clarke..What some people won't do to sell a book... Hillary will not play second fiddle, she did that for too long under (no play on words here) hubby Bill. After the November elections (2006) Hillary might well dip her toe in the Presidential waters but will quickly retract it when all of her scandals are resurrected in earnest. The Democrats will need a much stronger and cleaner candidate in 2008. Ironically, the word "vice", as pronounced in my native language, means "dirty".

Cleaner candidate? We have had presidents on both sites with skeletons in the closet before and will again. I think both parties would not have it any other way. The other politicians like to have things to hold over one another's heads.

You good ole boys are so igorant that you don't know,
Bill Clinton will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents we had.
Also, you all don't know that Senator Kennedy rank annually as the best senator.
The GOP have your so fooled that Bubba Bush is a great president but he is very incompetent. Even members of his own party are dodging him.

honeypie, you can't be serious? Slick Willy was the most embarassing president this country has ever had and for different reaons, Jimmy Carter a close second. He was just plain inept. Senator Kennedy, the best senator? But, I ain't so ignorant to recognize a claptrap when I done seen one.

Honeypie! Where on earth did you come from sweet cheeks? If you think that Billy letting Monica go down on him is the making of a great President, than you are even more ignorant than the ignorant Dems on this blog site. If your boy Kennedy is so great, why won't he run for Prez? Perhaps he's afraid your Democratic party will have him assasinated like his two brothers were. And as far as my President being incompetent, not on your life, at least he had the guts to go after these fanatical Islamic terroists, where as your boy Bill sat back with his honey Monica and let them walz thru the back door and attack us. What kind of example does that set for our youth when a person of that high of a status perverts our sacred white house and then shakes his finger and denies it. Ya all wake up now honeypie, ya all hear now.

Forgot, while ignorance is bliss, it also has an "n" in it. There is a "check spelling" feature for those too ignorant to spell properly.
