Thank you, SoS Clinton!
Wolfe Blitzer just reported that SoS Clinton told an African audience that we still have problems with democracy in the US. She noted the 2000 presidential election, where it came down to a state where one candidate's brother was governor.

The republicoids are unhappy.

I think she is doing very well on the African trip.

1. Yep. Seems to be doing well overall. The uber-emo thing was just a blip, I'm sure.

5. Blown out of proportion
As usual, the MSM chose the most negative way to report it, not including the translation error and not including the background of the shoddy treatment of women in that area.

11. She was on a trip where the issues about womens rights in Africa was a focus
and she got a question (though misquoted) that slapped the focus of womens rights in Africa in the face.

From my fucking point of view. BRA-FUCKING-VO. She was right on target.

And I swear if she was over here and the pubs were pulling that shit with healthcare with her in charge
She'd be serving GOP and Blue Dog scrotum souffle for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night fucking snack.

14. Um, you realize we tried healthcare with her once, right?
I've never understood why some think she would do better, when she *proved* her inability to get *anything* on that front. And immediately after failing, she promptly sold out to the insurance companies.

18. She was the first lady and had more balls then than Obama has now.. Plus!
Edited on Wed Aug-12-09 05:21 PM by xultar
She had scores to settle with those fuckers. They wouldn't be giving this nice treatment that Obama is trying to give to those idiot fucks.

24. ha!
I said pretty much this same thig over in the Presidential forum the other day xultar. Don't get me wrong I *love* my President but this healthcare issue has me fantasizing what Hillary would do if SHE were up there.

That video of her from over in Africa had me rollin' - that's exactly how she woulda treated the repubs if they'da tried to pull this crap with her that they're puliing on ol' Obama so successfully.

I seriously do love that woman.

16. I find it quite refreshing to see atrocities against women greeted with the fury they deserve
instead of the "huh? what? nope, nuthin goin on there..." business as usual from all other places.

22. Yeah!
Good for her and democracy.

Madame Secretary also saw firsthand the "civil war" torn region
where people fight over the mineral rights, such as coltan.

Thank you for the heads-up, H20 Man. Oh yeah, she is doing very well on her trip.

26. I don't get the outrage either. Did she make anything up? No.
She stated a fact. Period.
