I just saw the video of Bill Clinton melting down when asked about the Casino Caucus

[Joe the Revelator]

Holy shit! This has probably been discussed to death, but we are really seeing a different side of the Clinton's. These people are crazy when things don't go their way. I was blown away.

24. At least Bill has the passion to care about something.

[ursi]

40. Yeah, it's called entitlement. He wants his hands in things back at the white house

and he doesn't care what the rest of us think.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

2. Suuure, they are. Those CCRAZY CLINTONS!!!

Run away, run away!

4. Have you seen the video? It's absurd.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

5. Saw it. Didn't have the shivering shakies like you did, though.

[Joe the Revelator]

8. You must have a thicker skin then me. As a former fan of the President, he's tarnishing his legacy

in my eyes. This type of behavior is unbecoming and proves, to me, what people have always said about the Clintons.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

9. "proves what people have always said" Point made.

[emilyg]

23. Oh please

Your mind was made up long ago. There was no meltdown.

[Sulawesi]

33. Who said it changed his mind r.e. who to support? nt

[Colobo]

7. I feel bad for Bill... he looks desperate and nervous.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

13. He's too emotionally involved. Dare I suggest he loves his wife and very much wants to see her

achieve this historic first?

Nah, he had sex with another (other) woman (women), so that PROVES he doesn't care about her. Right?

Well, anyway, this isn't like he's supporting a fellow Democrat, this is the woman who's stood by him for over 30 years. So, he's letting himself lose sight of the strategic thing to do in favor of the emotional reaction. It's too bad. I hope he steps back and takes a breath.

42. Bill feels he's entitled to be back in the White House with his POWER

Hillary is just a vehicle.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

48. And you know this how? My post was a suggestion, you seem to believe you're speakng absolute truth.

MKJ

on edit, unless you know either the Senator or the President personally, you don't know anything.

[EffieBlack]

46. I agree 100%

You nailed it!

[durrrty libby]

14. Thank You Dr Phil

:boring:

[IsItJustMe]

31. He looked kind of pissed to me.

[jefferson_dem]

6. When did the Big Dog become a grumpy old man?

The only thing missing was waiting him belting out a "hey kids, get the hell off my lawn!"

[THUNDER HANDS]

10. I wouldn't say he melted down

but he did lie. He said they'd get five times the delegates, when actually they'd get FIVE PERCENT more delegates.

[creeksneakers2]

32. Some say 10 times as many delegates

The average caucus in Nevada will get 6 delegates. The average casino caucus will get 80.

[HeraldSquare212]

11. How did he know the plaintiffs just found out about the rules?

that's what he said in his outburst. If it wasn't coordinated with them, how would he know that?

[MzShellG]

22. BINGO! nt

[City Lights]

12. Just watched it. Sure ain't pretty.

:wow: I won't say they're crazy when they don't get their way. Angry is a better word. I guess it's personal for Bill too.

[rucky]

15. So where did this "5 times as much" come from?

I hate to say it, but I've been reading up on this and haven't seen that stat anywhere else. I'm not calling Bill a liar - just asking for the math.

[indimuse]

16. you people are disgusting!

DO NOT try to deflect what your RW Candidate is pulling! NO_bama is a FRAUD!

[Joe the Revelator]

17. Ha, you have the gall to call ANYONE else "disgusting"

Thats pretty fucking funny.

[SoxFan]

26. Pathetic hack

Go crawl back under your rock

[sandnsea]

18. I'd like to see a clip of him getting upset

about Bush invading Iraq.

[flordehinojos]

19. i, on the other hand, applauded him for calling it like it is. a man with chutzpah!

chutzpah (courage) to speak up for truth ... that is how i saw the clip.

[wtmusic]

20. Sheesh. That's "melting down"?

:eyes:

[Nimrod2005]

21. PATHETIC!!!

[AGirl]

25. I didn't see any meltdown.

Meltdown- the most abused word in 2008.

[enough already]

27. It was not Bill's finest hour

Of course, when you are attempting to defend the disenfranchisement of Democratic voters, chances are you are going to look like a complete dick.

[Samantha]

28. So why didn't the Clinton supporters file the lawsuit BEFORE

the culinary workers union endorsed Obama? Were they waiting to file because Hillary was in the running for that endorsement and there would have been no problems with the mechanics of the caucus should the union's endorsement of HER washed in?

[Catherine Vincent]

29. That wasn't no fucking melt down.

You guys are desperate!

[enough already]

30. "Desperate" is trying to disenfranchise Democratic voters

And pathetic is endorsing such a despicable tactic. Congratulations.

[creeksneakers2]

34. No meltdown there

He did look tired and stressed. I don't blame him. He's been working a long hard schedule for a guy with a bad heart.

[picachumartinez]

35. Bill Clinton had nothing to do with the Nevada lawsuit n/t

[picachumartinez]

36. The Clintons had nothing to do with the Nevada lawsuit

The Teachers' Union did.

[picachumartinez]

37. oops, sorry about the duplicate

My two posts above are identical. Thought the 1st one hadn't gone through.

[adapa]

38. Where's the Meltdown?? oh right, spining it to suit your needs

[HughMoran]

I like the Romney flip out better

I've always been partial to bashing Republicans though :D

[David Zephyr]

39. I hope Bill cools down. He's not helping Hillary acting like this & he's not hurting Obama.

He's only hurting himself.

Sad.

[picachumartinez]

43. But isn't Hillary up 9% in Nevada according to the latest poll?

The Reno newspaper, that is.

How could he then be hurting himself in Nevada?

[BringBigDogBack]

41. wow.

I don't really know what else to say.

[TankLV]

44. ,,,of course you were...

your hate of them is almost as irrational as the repukes...

wait...you SAY you're a democrat...hmmm...

[annie1]

45. He's always been like that.

[BenDavid]

47. Oh but I bet you loved him when he appeared on Fox and

got the better of Chris Wallace and that set the stage for all dems to chanllenge the republicans and gave them the green light to fight back. Before that most dems were wearing pink tutu's......

Personally I think you watch too much fox news or either too much wolf blitzer who never turns down an opportunity to go negative against with clinton.....what I saw was bill setting the reporter straight on the idea that if there is a huge turnout in the 9 at large precints then the way the delegates are calculated it would score higher delegates then those in other areas of the state that have modest turnouts.....

[skipos]

49. It isn't a meltdown, but the Clintons sue will do ANYTHING to win. Rove would be proud. nt

[greguganus]

50. I'm no big fan of the Clintons, but I didn't see a meltdown. n/t
