Yeah, let a black guy mug some chick on her way to her coronation and steal her crown by unfairly, you know, winning electoral contests and shit... and the next thing you know, he's got a rep for pickin' on the chicks. Whereas Hillaryous will be forever remembered as the chick who threw her entire party under the bus, 'coz it wouldn't give her the crown - TO WHICH SHE WAS ENTITLED BECAUSE SHE CALLED "DIBS" FIRST - but gave it instead to that black guy who mugged her. Why is life so unfair to gurlz?

In related news: @Omnilation's Dog: You do realize, don't you, that using all those "logic" chops are wasted on the likes of Laura and the silly sistas who get lost on the intertubes and wind up here on the turnpike of snark? 'Tis fine for Hillaryous to proclaim, "It's all about ME! Wonderful, glorious, experienced ME!!!" But let anyone cast a curious eye in her direction, and suddenly "It's SO unfair that the media keeps looking into my claims of being vetted and concluding I'm full of shit. They only do it 'coz I'm a gurl!!! Otherwise they'd say the O-man is full of shit, too. But they don't - or ever ask him the first question - because he's not a gurl!"

And that shit actually flies with the middle-brow twatistas who will remain impervious to your "logic."

Someone sponsoring a bill that they played a bit role in producing is neither an unusual legistlative move nor a misrepresentation. Sponsorship doesn't mean "I created this bill from whole cloth." It means, "I'm using my political capital to support this bill," and the Senate (or House) leadership wants my name attached to this bill.

Obama hasn't built his campaign on experience. Clinton has. The axiomatic principle animating the Clinton campaign turns out to be b.s.

Incidentally, she's claiming "presidential experience" for 35 years, including at least 6 years for which she was an associate at a no name private law firm in Little Rock Arkansas. As a junior associate myself, I can tell you what she was doing in Little Rock: reviewing boring documents and writing bit legal briefs. In Arkansas, this was probably limited to crappy divorce cases and local land disputes. If that's presidential experience, vote for Omnilation in November.

I thought throwing women under buses was Obama's specialty.

...then he released a photo and a thank-you note which he obtained from his pastor, showing that Bill had met him at a public gathering, even though the Wright story came all from the media and Hillary's campaign has been completely silent on the subject.

Oh, and some Air Force dude, who had down-mouthed Hillary in the past, he said that Bill was questioning Obama's patriotism.

It's a good thing the writer knew how to open a sentence with a clause, otherwise half of them would start with the word 'I'.

It must have been hard, though, for the writer, living on 19k a year after a bad breakup, with only "cell phone numbers for Jesse Jackson, his son Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., and David Axelrod, who now serves as Obama's senior presidential campaign adviser" to keep him company.

sppeterson

That said, I also think some of the defensiveness is justified when you look at the things Obama's been attacked for: Sound bites of his crazy pastor? He and his wife secretly not loving America? Consensual plagiarism? The Rezko thing has been pretty thoroughly vetted at this point and hasn't borne any real fruit. And the truth is that the Houston Press story would carry more weight if it hadn't been printed in an alternative weekly and didn't hinge on a pre-established beef between Obama and the writer.

I don't know who told him that he couldn't win any primaries, my money would be on an in-law who wanted him to get a job, but I'm sure that most people thought this would be a race between Obama and Hillary. That's why he announced, then jumped to second in the polls.

And if qualifications are so important, why don't we recruit civil servants through competitive exams? Shit, they're both 35 and citizens.

It's really more symptomatic of the gap between what Hilsbot sez and what she delivers. Claims of able leadership vs the reality of Larry Curley and Moe ineptness. Or James Bond style mission with Delta Force vs. actual USO tour with Sinbad.

A mean part of me is actually enjoying Tracy Flick Clinton's comeuppance as a (probably ignored by those who shouldn't ignore it) lesson to those who have all the ambition but none of the ability to actually do the job.

And on a serious note, everyone PLEASE email the Youtube link to this video to everyone you know in either PA or NC, and urge them to support Obama! Also, if you have the email address of any superdelegates, email it to them as well.

Hillary's Adventures Abroad: We find some exaggerations in Clinton's claims of foreign policy experience: [www.factcheck.org]

Along with her popularity with racists, Hillary has also cornered the 'liar liar pants on fire' vote.

noasalira

Isn't that the point? Isn't that the reason this is a story? He's a comedian. You played up the dangerous Bosnia trip, and Sinbad, a comedian, didn't even think it was all that scary. Yes, Hillary, we KNOW he's a comedian. If you're going to spin something in order to convince people you're going to be a competent President, the least you could do is spin the proper direction.

If a Clinton loses the ability to spin a story, what's left?

I'm still uninterested in the "houston press" bit, its pure conjecture and "conspiracy theory" stuff.

I find it above hilarious that you point to an article that once again shows hillary to be a liar as some sort of argument that its okay that hillary is a liar.

I am not being incoherent when I call her a lying evil snake robot monster. Along with hilbots, obamatons, paultards, etc there's a pretty well established practice on this site of using silly adjectives to describe people. So while it may seem that I'm "off my meds", I re-submit that hillary is a well-evidenced
1. Liar
2. Evil person
3. Snake - see #1 and #2
4. Robotic - see any speech by her
5. Monster - see the way she tries to destroy the democratic party to gain the nomination.

But thanks for the personal attack!

Read tomorrow's Post about Obama and how he falsely took credit for the immigration bill.

[www.washingtonpost.com]

Read the Illinois story about how he got credit for bills he had little to do with. [www.houstonpress.com]

You are being incoherent. "Hillz is a lying evil snake robot monster." And that sentence suggests you need to take your medication.

Laura Ingalls Wildest

The lead paragraphs are really funny, because Obama ended up taking lots of credit for the immigration bill, when all he did was tag along to the press conference.

Anyone here ever pad their resume?

On the face of it this is absurd. Unless you mean by "extent" something like, what was at stake, what was the motivation, what was the cost, etc. I mean, me lying about where the change on the counter went, or spitzer lying in his promise to never cheat on his wife, or hillz lying repeatedly about her experience in order to denigrate a fellow democrat and to play the repub scare tactic game - in order to win the most important job in the world yeah, there's a bit of different "extent" there. Hillz is a lying evil snake robot monster. Whereas its likely everyone you've ever met are not.

Obama has lied about his legislative experience in Illinois. [www.houstonpress.com] [you have to read at least half the story by this reporter who used to cover Obama in Illinois -- basically, the Senate majority leader wanted to be a king maker so he had Obama's name put on lots of bills].

Still, it's sad if Clinton outright lied. But memories are convenient, e.g., Obama's relationship with Rezko, the extent of which is still unfolding.

And every person I've ever met has lied -- what only differs in people is the extent to which they do it.

If anything determines what kind of president you will be it is what your pastor said 5 years ago, not you lying about a major incident in your claimed experience.

According to the bastion of knowledege, Wikipedia, Sinbad beat Dennis Miller out in some competition, so he's OK in my book.
