Hill Won’t Run – This Time

When Democratic voters are asked which politician they want as president, one name consistently appears at the top — Hillary Rodham Clinton. But the New York senator couldn’t make it any clearer that she isn’t running for the White House. At least not in 2004.

From her days as first lady, Clinton has accumulated political assets that are the envy of the announced Democratic presidential candidates: universal recognition, a nationwide network of supporters and an extraordinary ability to raise campaign cash.

She still is vilified by Republican fund-raisers but is getting bipartisan accolades for her conduct in the Senate. Her profile will be high in the coming weeks as she embarks on a media tour to promote her memoirs, “Living History,” which has a first-run printing of a million copies and goes on sale June 9.

Clinton insists she will not consider entering the race for president this year even if that is what some Democrats want. She has not ruled out a run in 2008.

“I just tell them that we have many other great candidates running for the job,” Clinton said, demonstrating a deference for her colleagues that has helped her win respect in the Senate.

Hillary as President? I sat here for a moment and tried to imagine that and have decided to let that frightening thought go. All I can say is if that day ever arrives would the last one out of the country please shut off the lights.

I have to wonder if her book will discuss White Water (and all the mysteries surrounding it – including the deaths). Perhaps it will discuss Bill’s many affairs.

No, it won’t discuss any such issues. Well it might, but of course if it does it will be how unfair she and Bill were treated during White Water. It will also point a finger at Ken Starr and how poorly he treated them during the Monica incident, and how the many other women who came forward lied.

I have to admit I have no interest in reading her memoirs. I put up with eight plus years of Clinton lies and am not interested in more.

  1. Whadaya think, lee…is this entertaining enough? Come on, give it up for the Trasher! I’ll be here all week, folks!

  2. Heh heh, hold on man; Bill O’Reilly’s on and I gotta flip my burgers…

  3. Tins?

    Drop it okay? It’s old.

  4. lee…where’s the love, man? You’d trade me in for that hack O’Reilly?! A pox on you and your burgers! ;-) )

    choses…sly punditry laced with biting sarcasm is definitely an acquired taste. But as you wish, dude. Signing off for today. It’s been, I must say, a helluva lotta fun.

  5. The love’s there Tins, but Bill’s only got an hour; you’re here 24/7! The burger’s tasted great; got some leftovers so come on over!

    Choses, no hard feelings man. I got nothing against you, and I hope you managed to get out of all that’s said that I do support you; I’m all for equal rights and I always will be. We’ll just have to know we disagree on a personal level and leave it at that, but I’m all about tolerance and acceptance. Sniff; I love you man ;) Don’t take it personal, I still support you as a friend but feel you have a right to know, just as all my other friends, what my personal feelings are.

    Riding off into the sunset? Drama queen :)

  6. Back to the original thread…Hillary can run for pres if she wants. She may even win a few states, but I doubt that she’ll win the election — there are still too many clear thinking Americans that won’t be conned by her leftist trash.

  7. Ken, if you listen closely, you can actually hear the future, and it begins with throngs of people in the streets chanting…

    RUUUUUUUDY! RUUUUUUUDY! RUUUUUUUDY!

    That, my friend, is a sound that strikes fear in the hearts of leftists all over America. Sure, the GOP has plenty of other big guns – Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice – for ’08. But Giuliani…he’s the six-hundred pound gorilla. He’s the left’s worst nightmare. Yeah, I know, he seems to give the impression that the White House is not on his radar screen, but that’s just a clever stealth tactic. Watch what happens when, at the last minute, he announces his candidacy. Watch how the wind goes out of Hillary’s sails. It’ll be a massacre. I mean really: a true-believing socialist vs America’s Mayor and Time Magazine Man of the Year, the man who lifted NY out of the rubble of 9.11?

    Game over, man. Game over.

  8. Hmmm, what an INTERESTING thought! That’s a battle I’d LOVE to see :)

  9. But lee…more like a slaughter than a battle, dontcha think? It would be like the opening scene in Two Towers, where the Orks (read Democrats) are massacred by the Mercenaries. A clash between Giuliani vs Hill in ’08 would be like the Marines storming through Iraq; the field would be littered with leftwing body parts.

  10. Yep, my kind of battle. Good vs Evil; good not only wins but ANNIHILATES!! Hell yeah, bring it on blondie!
