CNN: they're also trying to negotiate positions for Bill Clinton??!!
Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 10:35 PM by ErinBerin84
Lol, did anyone just hear that? I was getting out of the shower, so I didn't see who it was, by Bernstein? They were talking about the positions that Hillary Clinton may be negotiating for, in addition to VP. " And strangely enough...positions for Bill Clinton. I even talked to one person who is very well connected who says that the idea of Bill Clinton as OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN" is being floated"


I mean, I don't think it's true, but just the idea of this is so ridiculous. Am I on crack, did I hear right?

4. Wow. She passed her best case scenario opportunity months ago.
She has imploded by her own hand and now has devolved into truly tragic kabuki theater.

7. I'll take the Phenergan.. added effect of putting me to sleep and curing my headache too. We could
name physical symptoms after Hillary now, I suppose.

9. I got my own. I got the bug too, yesterday.
Can you believe this shit?? It's like we're in some alternate reality. Was Bill running? Did I miss something? Maybe it was the lack of nutrition in the past cople of days but I swear i'm losing my mind... or someone is.

12. I think that's bullshit
Howard Fineman has come up with a few things tonight that no one else who also claims "close connections"agrees with. I heard just the opposite, that BC would be going back to work at his foundation so as to stay out of the way. These people are just guessing and some of these may be suppositions "leaked" for purposes only the leakers may find useful. I'd like to keep score on some of these news people, a fact-check. See who falls for the crap and reports it dutifully. Or just makes it up.

16. oh, I fully expect for this to be BS
Just the prospect of it is so nightmarish and...ridiculous, I had to comment on it! I don't know who to believe anymore. Howard Fineman said that she doesn't want VP, but wants to be asked in a public way and turn it down (which is what Obama wants), while Andrea said that she definitely wants it. Howard Fineman also said last month that he was told that Elizabeth Edwards might be campaigning for Hillary in NC, so I don't know how much stock to put in him (though I trust him more than Andrea). Hell, I don't really trust any of them.

13. now that I think of it, most surrogates for Hillary who I have seen today
did seem to be selling not only Hillary, but Bill. When asked about what Bill's position would be if Hillary was a VP, the surrogates aren't really saying "Hillary can handle it, Bill won't cause any trouble" or anything, they seem to be saying that Bill and Hillary are a package political deal. Did anyone get that impression today?

14. MSNBC floats the opposite
I think everyone, in the absence of evidence, is just filling the airwaves with possible scenarios of their own imaginings.

19. Stephanie Tubbs Jones said in regards to Hillary being VP that
since this nation is in such a mess that there would be plenty of work for The President, Senator Clinton, and Senator Obama (so I guess the President she was referring to was Bill Clinton.)

20. well, in my OP I said "I don't think it's true"
the prospect is ridiculous. Insultingly so, but hilariously so too.

18. Fuck the pigs.........
Obama is a winner not a loser like them fools. They can not handle or run a good campaign.

Obama does not negociate with hostage holders.

the hilldabeast as vp, bill would surely have to be the deal breaker.

26. That's pretty funny stuff
there's no limit to the Clinton's sense of self-importance.
Let them wait out in the lobby.

27. That would be career suicide for Obama
He is no fool & would NEVER let Bill become campaign chairman.
Unless it was a title with no actual, you know, clout!

With an emphasis on fundraising? Let's face it, the Big Dawg is a rainmaker.

37. Bill gets a one way ticket to Dumbfuckistan, and our best wishes
I really wish he and Hilly would simply shut the hell up, and not be heard from until after the election. They're the couple that always ruins the family reunion for everyone else. They're the parents that ruin the little league game for everyone else. Wherever they go, it's Clinton Drama 24/7.

Never have two so thoroughly undeserving people commanded so much print.
