  • OH GOD: Hillary Clinton has told the traveling press corps that they may sign up for travel through June 6 — three days after the last primary, when that gal is supposed to drop out and stop making white women hate Obama. Clinton spokesman Jay Carson added, “There are a lot of places for us to go between June 4 and November.” She is so, so taking this to the convention. [Political Radar]

    What she failed to mention is that travel is via “the bull”.

    Satan shall rise again, just you wait…

  3. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 4:40 pm, May 29th, 2008

    There are a lot of places for us to go between June 4 and November.

    How about you go fuck yourselves…

  4. Dave J. says at 4:40 pm, May 29th, 2008

    The question: is she delusional enough to actually attempt a third-party candidacy? I say, yes! Yes she is.

  5. Godless Liberal * says at 4:45 pm, May 29th, 2008

    I do wonder - and I mean this sincerely - at what point does the party decide enough is enough and start levying public reprimands or something more? Nancy Pelosi has started basically telling uncommitted House superdelegates to pick a side by next week, so it’s clear that the higher-ups are officially sick of her shit. But when do they actually DO something about it?

  6. El Bombastico says at 4:46 pm, May 29th, 2008

    At this point, these embedded reporters start to envy David Bloom.

  7. DanaPerinosBabyDaddy says at 4:46 pm, May 29th, 2008

    “There are a lot of places for us to go between June 4 and November”

    Like Hell, perchance? Can Hell be on the itinerary?

  8. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 4:47 pm, May 29th, 2008

    There’s a disgraceful joke involving the difference between a blond and a washing machine that has something about one of the two not following you around for weeks after you drop off your load. I think there’s an analogy in there somewhere for Hillary.

  9. DizzyLizzy says at 4:47 pm, May 29th, 2008

    she’s just trying to distract the press while she hand-chisels her face onto mt. rushmore

    “why don’t you learn something about the mountain!”

  10. cantabrigia says at 4:51 pm, May 29th, 2008

    Of course she’s got to keep running out the string. How else could the Clintons justify it to the sweet old ladies and hard-working white bitters when they need them to keep coughing up campaign contributions? She and Bill have to come up with that $20+ million somehow, after all.

  11. AngryBlakGuy says at 4:53 pm, May 29th, 2008

    …she still has a traveling press corp? Who would’ve known!

  12. DanaPerinosBabyDaddy says at 4:58 pm, May 29th, 2008

    @AngryBlakGuy: Don’t be fooled. It’s just Gerry Ferraro after forgetting to take her Multiple Personality Disorder meds.

  13. floraway says at 4:58 pm, May 29th, 2008

    She’s like Ron Paul. Except her family is paying for her to run, where as his family is getting paid for him to run.

    Everyone talks about how smart she is, but the ultimate Paultard outsmarted her.

  14. ManchuCandidate says at 4:59 pm, May 29th, 2008

    I’ve said it before. Hils has become Spinal Tap. She’ll travel the country with her cavalcade of white bitter ladies and every stop will get just get worse and worse for her but she will be oblivious to it all until she sees the marquee at the some Buttfuck Midwest Ramada Inn.

    after she loses the primary i think hillary is going to join the “lieberman for conneticut” political party and run for president.

  17. floraway says at 5:00 pm, May 29th, 2008

    “Facing an increasingly improbable candidacy for the White House, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., showed no signs of stopping on the trail in South Dakota and cited an old Arkansas, saying in an off-handed reference to her campaign: “you can’t tell how far a frog will jump until you punch him.”"

    What does that even mean? It is as though she’s become Dr. Phil.

  18. Tawmn says at 5:05 pm, May 29th, 2008

    Well, you never know… Vince Foster died on JULY 20th!

  19. WaldoJeffer' says at 5:08 pm, May 29th, 2008

    I can go a lot of places between June 4 and November too. I hope it isn’t Canada because she threw the election over to McSame!

  20. WIDTAP says at 5:11 pm, May 29th, 2008

    How about you go ….

    Who knew Dick Cheney was in the Hillary Clinton ‘08 Travel Office?

  21. Gopherit v2.0 says at 5:11 pm, May 29th, 2008

    @Godless Liberal: Nancy only knows 3 words to deal with situations like this: Sternly Worded Letter.

    Hillary and her Hillturds: This season’s naderites.

  22. edgydrifter says at 5:12 pm, May 29th, 2008

    Frog punching? Another example of the homespun folksy wisdom we’ve come to adore from Madame Bizarro.

  26. Check Out My Rack says at 5:15 pm, May 29th, 2008

    Not sure what everyone’s so worried about. Just watch the last 15 minutes of “Superman 3″, and you’ll know what to do. Now if we can only get Harold Wolf to ski down the Grace Building in a pink blanket…

  27. blogfather says at 5:16 pm, May 29th, 2008

    only an elitist press member would follow hillary after June 3rd.

  28. SayItWithWookies says at 5:26 pm, May 29th, 2008

    Please, everybody keep this in perspective. After all, John F. Kennedy wasn’t even assassinated until November. Don’t take that the wrong way now.

  29. Dave J. says at 5:30 pm, May 29th, 2008

    “you can’t tell how far a frog will jump until you punch him.””

    Is frog punching like donkey punching? Do I even want to know what Hillary was talking about?

  30. Voted for Mondale says at 5:33 pm, May 29th, 2008

    Where’s Lanny Davis when we need him?

  31. Da Derga says at 5:38 pm, May 29th, 2008

    It should surprise nobody that she thinks that the only way to get a frog to jump is to punch it.

  32. nowukkers says at 5:52 pm, May 29th, 2008

    The press remaining with her should signal their Hillary-fatigue by filing their copy in text message format, laden with heavy sarcasm, bored Teenspeak, and snarky emoticons. Henceforth they should find some juvenile, yet strangely witty, epithet for her. They should also ask questions about how she copes with constipation, flatulence and queefs on the campaign trail, and whether George Clooney will ever find true love. Of course this will fly over her head, because she has no social compass and is immune to embarrassment.

  33. RonaldReagansHair says at 6:07 pm, May 29th, 2008

    @ Godless Liberal: Unfortunately, I think handling Hillary is on Pelosi’s schedule right after “end Iraq War with mandate handed to Democratic majority in 2006.” Sigh.

  34. Ken Layne says at 6:10 pm, May 29th, 2008

    Oh hi godless liberal so you got in, after all? AFTER ALL THE TRAPS WE SET?

    I am posting a comment to see how it works, at the moment, in my elitist Firefox/Mac system.

  35. blogfather says at 6:11 pm, May 29th, 2008

    @nowukkers: Hey! There’s no reason to bring queefs into this.

  36. Ulrike_Meinhof says at 6:22 pm, May 29th, 2008

    So, since Denton’s not breathing down your neck do you guys knock off at 4:30 now? Or is there just no politics today? Really, congratulations, though.

    @Ken Layne: Deleting all the users and all the comments and moving the site to a server in Kenya might have been overdoing it a wee bit just to keep me out, don’t you think?

  38. Shypixel says at 6:30 pm, May 29th, 2008

    @ Harvey Birdman: No, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=frog+punch - this is a frog punch.

    Man she is viscious…

  39. Shypixel says at 6:33 pm, May 29th, 2008

    @ Self: … vicious.

    /wander off to find my “hooked on phonics” tapes…

  40. Godless Liberal * says at 6:41 pm, May 29th, 2008

    And I’m not suggesting that Nancy Pelosi is going to regulate all over anyone. Lord knows if we had to wait on her to get things done, we’d still be working out the finer details of the Louisiana Purchase. But if she is actually taking action (said action consisting of a meek phone call consiting of a lot of “please” and “if it’s not too much trouble”, but action nonetheless) then things must be heating up.

    This is like when you’re at the grocery store and some kid is throwing a tantrum and pulling stuff off the shelves and taking stuff out of other people’s carts and everyone else in the store is ready to show their pistols if his mom doesn’t calm him down, and finally - finally - Supermommy turns to the kid and asks him to use his inside voice. And when that happens, you just know that if Daddy (whether I mean Reid or Dean or someone else here, calling any of those guys ‘Daddy’ makes me feel incredibly dirty) was there he would have whipped some ass. I can’t help but hold out hope that Daddy is waiting outside in the car, and he’s got his belt off.

    I am back!!

    But I am also home on my nice, sane Mac. My evil work PC would not let me read or post on Teh New Wonkette. I am hoping it gets jealous of my Mac and so finally gives in tomorrow.

  43. FlakJack says at 6:54 pm, May 29th, 2008

    Hooray! I can haz comment!

    Hillary’s pool reporters better watch out — this extension of bus sign-ups is probably the prelude to a Speed-style standoff in which Hillary holds a bunch of press folks hostage until she gets the nomination or her own island. Unfortunately, no one gives a shit about the media dead-enders covering her campaign, so this, like all of her plans, will also fail.

  44. shortsshortsshorts says at 6:57 pm, May 29th, 2008

    @Doglessliberal:

    Damn you elitist Mac folk! Straight to hell! My office computer is absolutely terrible. Half of the comments are over where Dick Cheney is usually shredding the consititution and the ACLU saying that that’s bad for some reason.

  45. Doglessliberal says at 6:57 pm, May 29th, 2008

    and for a comment actually related to the post: if she causes a McCain admin to be inaugurated next January with her dissention-causing, party-shredding failure to face reality, I will…well, I don’t really know, but it will be REALLY MEAN.

  46. tunamelt says at 6:57 pm, May 29th, 2008

    @Doglessliberal,

    I was on my work PC all morning and couldn’t do anything except look at Wonkette via Google Reader. However, some time in the last five minutes, it decided to work on a PC.

    So it might work for you tomorrow?

  47. Doglessliberal says at 7:00 pm, May 29th, 2008

    Godless, now THAT is a great analogy.

  48. El Bombastico says at 7:00 pm, May 29th, 2008

    @GodlessLib:If you’re waiting for Reid or Dean to play the “Daddy” disciplinarian role, you’re gonna be waiting a looooong time. They’re more like the milquetoast dads who tell their kids they better behave or they won’t get any desert… and then the little f’ers roll their eyes and get ice cream anyway.

  49. Doglessliberal says at 7:02 pm, May 29th, 2008

    @shortsshortsshorts: my work one is the same! All the comments are crammed to the left with the ACLU, so I cannot read, and I cannot post, either. I am really hoping the farggin’ thing gets over itself by tomorrow because my work day would not be the same without the tpnic that is Teh Wonette.

    and @tunamelt: I really hope so. I missed y’all!

  50. Doglessliberal says at 7:03 pm, May 29th, 2008

    that would be “tonic”. I don;t know what tpnic is.

  51. Doglessliberal says at 7:03 pm, May 29th, 2008

    Did you travel well through the wormhole? I hope your bread isn’t stale.

  55. edgydrifter says at 7:09 pm, May 29th, 2008

    On the plus side, I like how at the end of the comments there’s a little “welcome back” slug in bold letters. Every time I read it I feel like “hey, I was just about to leave, but if that’s how you feel maybe I’ll just stick around for another drink or three.” So nice.

  56. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 7:10 pm, May 29th, 2008

    Come on, everyone knows you cannot have the ritual suicide on the same day as the final primary. Those things take time to organize and to get all the grape drink ready.

  81. Godless Liberal * says at 8:39 pm, May 29th, 2008

    Okay, so what the hell is up with the quotation marks around my name? Whenever I see it I feel like the site is saying Godless Liberal (if that’s even his real name) says… and I do not appreciate the questions of my integrity one little bit.

  82. ronaldpagan says at 8:42 pm, May 29th, 2008

    Here’s what WordPress says about HTML and commenting:

    Allowed html tags
    Not everyone is evil, but keep those who are in check by limiting which html tags are kosher on your weblog. The default html tags allowed by WordPress are a sane choice to let people use html in their comments, without compromising the safety of your data or server.

    Apparently, though, they’re perfectly happy to compromise the safety of NOT THROWING COMMAS AROUND LIKE THEY’RE GOING OUT OF STYLE.
