Poor, Poor, Poor Clinton(s)

[earthside]

Cry me a river.

ABC News

On WMAL-AM yesterday in an interview with Chris Plante, former President Bill Clinton implied the media has been unfair to his wife ...

... Of his wife's recent travails, he said, "the caucuses aren't good for her. They disproportionately favor upper-income voters who, who, don't really need a president but feel like they need a change." ...

... "I think she has been the underdog ever since Iowa," Clinton said. "She’s had, you know, a lot of the politicians, like Senator Kennedy, opposed to her. She’s had, the political press has avowedly played a role in this election. I've never seen this before."

He said they'd done well considering their slim budget. "We've gotten plenty of delegates on a shoestring," he said.

He did not mention that his wife's campaign has raised more than $140 million.

It is almost sad to see this kind of "woe is us" lament coming from a former President of the United States -- but such is the state of the Clinton(s) campaign.

Sounds like there isn't much hope left alive in Clinton(s) land.

1. they're really fine

thanks for your concern

[Yael]

2. They chose to spend their money on image consultants, high end dinners

and parking spots.

Let them sleep in the bed they made for themselves.

Oh, and Bill -- EVERYONE needs a President. Even those upper-income people in states that "don't count".

[Trajan]

3. I despise the anti Democrat rhetoric here ....

The fervor of a campaign darkens souls ...

[Renew Deal]

4. Does Bill ever tell the truth?

He's just dishonest.

[SoFlaJet]

7. I almost fell off my computer chair

after reading this;
He said they'd done well considering their slim budget. "We've gotten plenty of delegates on a shoestring," he said.

26. Picture of shoestring:

[Mme. Defarge]

28. What about

the war chest?

[zulchzulu]

5. Bill lies AGAIN with the tidbit "she has been the underdog"

She was the appointed front runner who was expecting a coronation that would have a knock-out blow by Super Tuesday. Last I checked, a front runner who was 20 points ahead in polls a month before the voters had their say can't now proclaim to be an underdog.

Let's just call it Clinton Fatigue 2.0...

11. Ya can't forget Tweety singing her praise

over the last two years! She has had more free coverage than all of the rest put together...including the Rthugs!

[RaleighNCDUer]

29. They were ALWAYS the favorites and frontrunners

until those inconvenient voters put their 2 cents in.

[islandmkl]

6. It wasn't supposed to be this way..

[apnu]

8. Earth to Bill... the media is unfair PERIOD! (nt)

[BlackVelvet04]

9. He's absolutely right....

the press has taken every opportunity to bash Hillary while acting like Obama is the second coming. If you can't acknowledge that then you really have had too much Kool Aid.

[peace13]

12. Don't take it personally.

Remember there were others before you. Kucinich, Biden, and the rest, went down but many did not notice. It is only when it happens to our own candidate that it seems to matter. Go figure. Peace, Kim

[BlackVelvet04]

13. I wrote letters to CNN and MSNBC about the

unfair coverage....they ignored Kucinich, Biden and Edwards. I don't like the press deciding who we can hear about and who we vote for. The fawning over Oback makes me want to puke.

[peace13]

19. I understand what you are saying.

I did the same. This all does make it feel like the election is truly a selection made for us.

[Independent-Voter]

10. The Clintons are ALWAYS victims! I can't believe some of ya'll fall for this shit.

[islandmkl]

14. possibly old fables and fairy tales would be good for Bill...

remember what happened to the little boy who cried wolf?

[Adelante]

15. "Shoestring"

:wow:

[Egnever]

16. He said they'd done well considering their slim budget

LOL

[Avalux]

17. Funny, and it's not going to work. Tearing through 140 million in a month is poor management.

Is that how Hillary will run the White House?

[Tatiana]

18. Upper-income voters don't really need a president ? WTF!? Somebody muzzle him QUICK!

The more he opens his mouth, the more toxic he is to Hillary's campaign. If it weren't for him and his stupid, divisive comments, Hillary would probably (and I can admit this) be well on her way to sealing the nomination instead of in a fight for her life.

[RaleighNCDUer]

The Bill I remember is the most able politician of my lifetime.

If you grant that he still is, the only explanation is that he is actually campaigning AGAINST Hillary, while making everybody think he's campaigning FOR Hillary and doing it badly.

He didn't really have a whole lot of fun he first 8 years in the WH.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. if obama wins the nomination and the media behaves towards him as they did to kerry

will you cry yourself a river then?

[ClericJohnPreston]

21. He who laughs last

laughs the heartiest.

Methinks you're getting a little bit ahead of yourselves in celebrating so early. I'm not a Hillary supporter, but you Obamites have never met hyperbole you didn't like. Hyperbole over circumspect reason. Bad choice.

[stillcool]

23. You're not a Hillary supporter?

now that's a laugh.

[Egnever]

22. So hows that telecommunication act looking to you now Bill?

[Az_lefty]

24. $140 mil? I thought they were broke...guess that was another Clinton lie

[HeraldSquare212]

25. That SOB - I need a President, thank you very much.

I'm sick and tired of the Clintons saying that a lot of people, and some states, just don't count.

[formernaderite]

27. why on earth would he go and interview with chris plant?

a rabid right winger on the nations right wing radio station? Really strange if you ask me. This didn't even have an effect on the election in MD VA and DC since it was aired afterwards. I am truly befuddled on their decision making process. Bill sounded tired and annoyed...and apparently the interview was only supposed to be 6 minutes but he stayed on for 17. Someone sent me the audio link yesterday, and I didn't know what to make of it.

[theboss]

30. A shoestring?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Jesus, Mary and Joseph....

[theboss]

31. I have to say, Bill's new take on class warfare is unique

In the past, it's always been the rich don't need a tax break. I can get behind that.

Now, it's the rich don't need a president.

What else don't the rich need? Police protection? Roads?

[donheld]

32. "she has been the underdog"

:cry: :crazy: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
