Photo surfaces of smiling Clintons with Tony Rezko... MORE... Clinton injected the indicted developer's name this week in heated debate with Obama: 'I was fighting against those ideas when you were practicing law and representing your contributor, Rezko, in his slum landlord business in inner city Chicago'... Clinton tells NBC 'TODAY' show on Friday: 'I probably have taken hundreds of thousands of pictures. I don't know the man. I wouldn't know him if he walked in the door'... Developing...
what a waste of a perfectly good first
That bumper sticker is awesome!
If you think about it 9:08, the sticker makes no sense, even if you oppose Hillary. Bill and Monica were not dating, for one thing, so "X-boyfriend" makes no sense, and the sticker endorses Hillary "for" President. That's probably not what the person displaying the sticker wants to say.
The bumper sticker looks like a Redneck's first foray into the playful possibilities of language. Hopefully, he/she stays with it. Motor skill can be learned.
At least she didn't work for the guy or do a land deal with him while he was under investigation for fraud. If anything, this photo highlights the differences between Obama's and Hillary's conduct with Rezko. This is not a story Obama wanted returning to the headlines before the SC primary.
Has anyone else come to the conclusion that all the idiots have been right this whole time? America is not ready for a black president. I will not vote for Hillary--so if she gets the nomination, i will not vote at all in November.
Obama '08.
9:57: Excellent exercise of your suffrage right, idiot.
The NYT's arguments in support of Hillary make me a little more comfortable with my inevitable vote for her when she inevitably gets the nomination, but I still cannot fathom the thought process of those who prefer her to Obama. Looks like it'll be the lesser of two evils yet again (though hopefully the lesser evil will actually win this time).
This bitch lawyer is voting for that other bitch lawyer. Let's do this, Hilldog!
Hey Lat, how about some equality in your election coverage? NY Times endorsed John McCain on the Republican side as well, but I guess you "accidentally" left that out.
9:57 - I don't get it - if you don't vote for Obama, are you a racist??
That's a pretty tough standard, don't ya' think?
What's the deal with Obama getting his house at $300k under market value from that slumlord - while he was a senator?
Isn't there some kind of ethical violation there (public officials not taking gifts over a certain dollar amount)??
Example of a Liberal Media: McCain who? Take a look at the "poll" on this website, asking who the GOP candidate will be. It does not list McCain, the frontrunner. Liberals are afraid of McCain because he can win. (Which is silly, as he is a liberal and, therefore, not to be feared.)
11:21 - McCain is not a lawyer.
When ATL covers presidential candidates - Hillary, Barack, John Edwards, Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson - it tends to stick to the attorneys.
11:34, that poll is an advertisement. Not controlled by ATL.
"9:57 - I don't get it - if you don't vote for Obama, are you a racist??"
Maybe you don't get it because he didn't say that.
