It's a Hillary Clinton Panderfest!

So Hillary Clinton managed to scrape out a caucus vote win in Nevada by pandering to illegal aliens. No wonder Hillary supports importing new Democrat voters from Mexico. Want to bet that they aren't also voting illegally in the general election? Neither do I.

Anyhow, another day another pander for the Clintons and Hillary showed up yesterday at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem to butter up some of the Democrat party's "traditional clients." Unfortunately for her, the natives were restless:

Sen Clinton then waded into the crowd to deliver coffee to supporters who’d been waiting in the cold nearly an hour longer than her schedulers had originally anticipated — but ran into a group of heated Obama supporters, who’d been outside waving signs and chanting for their candidate. Let’s just say they weren’t interested in a cup of Joe.

“We don’t want your coffee,” one said. “Stay out of Harlem.” As the chants of “be a part of something great, Obama ‘08″ continued, the man commanded Clinton to stop trying to “steal the black vote.”

Golly, I guess they just haven't gotten Hillary's message!

Will Hillary Clinton release her medical records?

Bill Clinton was always famous for for his unusual refusal to release his medical records either while running for President or as President. Speculation as to the reason abounds and while there are suggestions that he was trying to cover up cocaine or alcohol abuse (he got that big red nose somewhere), the general belief is that he didn't want to reveal a succession of infections from sexually transmitted diseases (STD). You know, fun stuff like "the clap", "the drip", and "the itch", or more politely: chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis, HIV, and even crab lice.

While that's not surprising considering all the women (willing and unwilling) Bill Clinton has had sexual contact with over the years, it raises an interesting dilemma for Hillary Clinton: should she release her medical records or not? If she caught an STD from Bubba, then obviously she can't release them for the same reason that he couldn't. However, if her records are clean (or she even made up some clean records) then releasing them would highlight Bubba's refusal to do so and lead to all sorts of snickering about whether they actually ever spent the night together.

Suggestion to Barack Obama: release your medical records and encourage all candidates to do the same. I can't wait.

Hillary Clinton, the empty pantsuit

Hillary Clinton and her flying monkeys like to brag about her "experience" in hope that no one will inquire too closely as to what it actually consists of. Investor's Business Daily reminds us:

If Hillary Clinton is proud of her experience and record of change, why are 2 million pages of her White House files locked up? Watching your husband is not experience.

Actually watching Bubba is quite an experience although unrelated to government, but I digress.

The last time Sen. Clinton was a genuine agent of change was when she led the secretive Health Care Task Force in 1993-94 that labored mightily to propose a Godzilla-size bureaucracy that would have nationalized one-seventh of the nation's economy. To receive medical care you would have gone to the equivalent of the Department of Motor Vehicles.
...
After the health care debacle, Hillary slipped, or was pushed, below the radar. We don't know much about her "experience" as "co-president," largely because reams of calendars, memos and other records remain under seal until after this year's election.

We do know she has spent much of the past 35 years watching her husband. She watched him be attorney general of Arkansas, then governor, then president of the United States. She was in charge of putting down "bimbo eruptions" during her husband's 1992 presidential campaign. But again, that counts as watching her husband.

Those nasty bimbos were every bit as tough as Al Quaeda, I'm sure. Of course, the Clintons didn't do too well there either.

She would lead the war on terror, but her experience in that area lies in watching Bill fail to pull the trigger when he repeatedly had Osama bin Laden in his sights. On their watch, the U.S. did virtually nothing — except shamelessly withdraw from Somalia — while terrorists killed Americans on three continents.

Hillary did urge her husband to appoint Janet Reno as the first female attorney general, a move he'd later describe as "my worst mistake." While the Clinton Justice Department treated the first attack on the World Trade Center as a law enforcement matter, Reno kept busy incinerating religious zealots in Waco.

Unfortunately, they were homegrown fruitcakes and not the religious zealots actually killing Americans and terrorizing the Middle East.

Hillary has been in the Senate for seven years, during which time she has accomplished nothing of note except for voting for the Iraq War before she was against it. No major piece of legislation bears her name.

Her public record and career is even spottier and shorter than that of her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama. ... She's made a lot of speeches, but has governed nowhere at any level and has led no major organizations.

Less experience than Barack Obama - that's hard to to do!

Trouble at Miss Hillary's plantation

Click to supersize

I can't help but enjoy the infighting going on in the Democratic primary with professional woman (and victim) Hillary Clinton doing her best to slime professional black person (and victim) Barack Obama who is stealing her traditional support among black Democrats. Of course, Obama supporters seem to think criticism of any kind is racist so it makes for an amusing mix. The Democrats have been playing the race and gender victim cards on opponents for so long that it is hilarious to see them use it on each other.

Anyhow, stay tuned for a big and likely inept Hillary pandering campaign to win back black voters. Maybe something like this:

Get well Tim!

Eminent Oz blogger Tim Blair has been off his feed lately and is going into the hospital for major surgery. Everyone here wishes him a speedy and complete recovery.

The circus is back in town

The Democrat controlled Congress is back in Washington after a leisurely holiday and raring to raid the taxpayers' wallets. Nancy Pelosi was looking especially fit and her Botox therapist undoubtedly is richer. So what's on the menu for the Democrats this year?

The processed cheese has been replaced with brie. The Jell-O has made way for raspberry kiwi tarts and mini-lemon blueberry trifles. Meatloaf has moved over for mahi mahi and buns have been shunted aside in favor of baguettes.

A revolution is afoot at the deli counters, grills and salad bars of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Newly ascendant Democrats may have hit roadblocks on Iraq and fiscal issues, but they have revamped congressional menus, replacing fatty, pre-made foods with healthier, gourmet alternatives. The once dreary congressional cafeterias now abound with haute cuisine.

The menu transformation is part of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “Greening the Capitol” plan to make the House campus more environmentally friendly and socially progressive.

Nice - while the taxpayers eat macaroni and cheese, the Democrats are going for mahi mahi. I'm glad ole Nan has her meat hooks on the pulse of the country. Even the German Communists had enough smarts to be embarrassed when one of their leaders got caught eating lobster.

Check out some more of the menu:

There is pan-roasted Chesapeake rockfish with sweet potato fennel hash and yellow pepper relish. Pears with Stilton cheese and watercress. Cumin-scented leg of lamb with almond couscous. There are vegetables with funny names, like bok choy, arugula and jicama. There are baked goods with Italian names, like biscotti, focaccia and frittati.

There are foods in funny colors, like yellow tomatoes and purple Peruvian potatoes. There are things that are free of other things, like “cage-free shell eggs,” “rBGH-free milk” and “free-range chicken.” And things that we don’t know what they mean, like turkey escabeche (salad), red pepper coulis (sauce) and seared barramundi (fish).

A vending machine sells coffee from famed chef Wolfgang Puck, offering brews such as “Vive la Crème Caramel” and “Tropic of Chocolate.”

One can't help but think of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio who feeds bologna sandwiches to the inmates in his jail and puts them on chain gangs to get some work done. Perhaps we ought to try that for Congress too? Nancy Pelosi could always work on the kitchen crew stirring big steaming pots of macaroni.

Sid Blumenthal caught driving with a snootful

Hillary Clinton's favorite flying monkey, Sid Blumenthal, is in big trouble in New Hampshire:

Sgt. Mike Masella, one of the arresting officers, said the movements of a Buick caught his eye. “I observed all his erratic driving,” Masella said. “When I first noticed him it was at an intersection. He abruptly stopped. That caught my eye … He was drifting in his lane.” Masella followed the car, a rental, for a mile and a half, and clocked its speed at 70mph in a 30mph zone--more than twice the legal limit. Masella pulled the car over at 12:30 a.m. Monday morning. Blumenthal told the officer he was returning to his hotel from a restaurant in Manchester. After declining to take a Breathalyzer, Masella says, Blumenthal failed a field sobriety test. Blumenthal was handcuffed, booked, had his fingerprints taken and was held for four hours--standard operating procedure in such arrests in New Hampshire--before posting bail and being released. (He will be arraigned later this month.) Because the car was moving at excessive speeds, Blumenthal was given the more serious charge of “aggravated” DWI--which carries a mandatory sentence of at least three days behind bars.

I'm sure the big house would be a nice experience for ole Sid - he could blame it all the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. But here's the rich part:

A longtime confidante and adviser to the Clintons, he has zealously defended them through any number of scandal investigations. Along the way, Blumenthal has shown an affinity for the sharp counterattack. When a group of Arkansas state troopers in the early 1990s began leveling charges that Bill Clinton had strayed in his marriage, Blumenthal shot back--penning an article in The New Yorker accusing the troopers of a litany of their own transgressions, including attempted fraud, marital infidelity and drunken driving.

Gosh, sounds just like the Clintons and Sid! Anyhow, one of those Arkansas state troopers was Larry Patterson who had a variety of things to say about the Clintons (I always liked Bubba's line that Ted Kennedy "couldn't get a whore across a bridge") including some that are of particular interest these days:

According to Clinton's bodyguard, Arkansas State Trooper Larry Patterson, Clinton frequently used the "N" word, using it to describe Reverend Jesse Jackson, as well as a local black civil rights leader. Said Patterson, "When [Bill Clinton] had black political leaders in the state and he disagreed with them, he would frequently use the 'N' word."

I bet there are a lot of "N" words flying around Clinton HQ these days.

I guess you won't see me in Barack Obama's church on Sunday

Burt Prelutsky notes that the media clowns love to spend a lot of time asking Republicans about their religious beliefs, but give Democrats a pass other than publicizing the obligatory publicity shots. He partially remedies this omission with a look at Obama’s Creepy, Race-Obsessed Church:

For over 20 years, Sen, Obama has been a faithful member of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. The other day, I paid a visit to Trinity’s website. There I read that the vision statement of the TUCC is based upon something called the systematized liberation theology that began in 1969 with the publication of Dr. James Cone’s book, “Black Power and Black Theology.” Dr. Cone believes that black Christians should not follow the “White Church,” as it had failed to support them in their struggle for equal rights in America. I suspect that most white Christians would disagree.

Trinity United boasts that it is a congregation “Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian.” What’s more, “it is a congregation with a non-negotiable commitment to Africa. We are an African people, and remain true to our native land, the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.”

Its pastor, Reverend Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., has referred to “white arrogance” and “the United States of Whiter America.” To my ears, that sounds unashamedly black, but I’m not so sure about the unapologetically Christian.

Furthermore, Rev. Wright’s church publishes a magazine, The Trumpet. Not too surprisingly, all things considered, the recipient of the 2007 Lifetime Achievement Trumpeter Award for Social Justice was none other than Louis Farrakhan, the fellow who plays the race card even better than he plays his violin.

Hey, maybe the media buffoons should ask ole Barack about UFOs too!

I have no idea how a member of a black church that apparently feels it owes greater allegiance to Africa than to America and that pays homage to a bigot like Farrakhan, has the gall to present himself as the one candidate who can bring us all together.

Easy, it's a con game.

Mike Huckabee: If his lips are moving, he's lying

I've always appreciated Ronald Reagan's dictum that Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican, but I lack The Gipper's forbearance when it comes to the more extreme of the Republicans in Name Only and there is no more outlandish RINO than Lying Mike Huckabee. This unprincipled huckster is now spinning tall tales like crazy trying to cover his tracks in the Republican presidential primaries, but no amount of lies can obscure his record.

Crime:

• Huckabee as Governor of Arkansas had a horrific record on paroles of dangerous criminals. Check out the following case which is so embarrassing that Huckabee is spinning furiously on his essential role in releasing this thug.

Illegal aliens:

• Despite his claim that he only supported taxpayer funded scholarships for a few smart illegal aliens, Huckabee was an enthusiastic supported of taxpayer subsidized in-state tuition for all illegal aliens.
• Huckabee claims he ordered his state police to arrest illegal aliens when in fact he never signed the agreement with federal authorities that would have allowed it.

Taxes:

• The only tax Huckabee didn't raise in Arkansas was the income tax and called opponents "Shiites" for trying to thwart his raids on the taxpayers' wallets.

Honesty:

• Huck handles the party bucks -"In 2000, Huckabee insisted on controlling the state party's separate Victory Committee, but the committee's finances were so poorly handled that a Federal Election Commission investigation resulted in the largest fine ever handed down by the FEC to a state party."

Party Loyalty:

• Huckabee frequently campaigned for Democrats in Arkansas and was instrumental in the defeat of Republican Senator Tim Hutchinson.

Foreign policy:

• This has to be the canonical Huckabee train wreck. When he's not saying that the USA should apologize for the death of Benazir Bhutto or wanting to sing Kumbaya with the Iranian whackos, he is accusing President Bush having a bunker mentality. The best part is his claim that his foreign policy advisers include goofy NY Times columnist Thomas Friedman (Huckabee claims to have read his latest book) and better choices Richard Allen, and John Bolton. The only problem is that Allen and Bolton deny ever talking with him. Then there was purported adviser Frank Gaffney with whom Huckabee had actually spoken once. Check out his assessment of the Huckster which makes him sound like a not-too-bright kid..

Get off the stage Mike, you're stinking out the joint. Or better yet, see if Jimmy Carter needs an assistant down at his museum.

Hillary surrogate accuses Obama of "shuck and jive"

Paging Donna Brazile! Andrew Cuomo, the Democrat Attorney General of New York and fervent Hillary Clinton supporter suggests that Barack Obama is shucking and jiving his way to the nomination right after Her Heinous got finished suggesting that Obama needed to do some more "spade work." Aside from the amusement factor, there's another bright side:

This is an entirely unexpected bonus to the Obama candidacy: Suddenly, with the Democrats needing to not-so-subtly play the race card against a black candidate, a whole plethora of formerly-forbidden phrases and "racial code words" becomes, abracadabra, entirely suitable for civil discourse and not indicative of racism at all.

This is just wonderful news! I know I've got a whole list of terms I'm hoping the DNC and MSM will jointly now bless as acceptable. Top of that list: octaroon.

Nah, it will never happen. So when do the compulsory sensitivity training classes for the Hillary campaign start?
