Hillary Clinton on 'Colbert Report': Embarrassing

#1  "Embarrassing" is a good description, but the very least of definition of Hilly.
'Last chance to buy her book before they start burning them for heat!'

#2  Embarrassing, just plain awful.

Her Pennywise the Clown entrance, poor meter, no chemistry, forced har hars, and the odd Animal Farm joke.

I did LOL but not for the reasons intended - the picture on the book side x side to her real appearance, and the parody of conservative act gone infomercial chortling.

Afghanistan
Champ remains silent on death of U.S. Army general in AFG
[Daily Caller] President Barack Obama has yet to say anything publicly about the death of Maj. Gen. Harold Greene, the first American general killed in war since Vietnam.

Greene is believed to have died Tuesday after a man in an Afghanistan military uniform shot Greene and 14 others in an attack near Kabul.
Only gaye sports figures, Mooslim holy days, and a 'do nothing congress' gain White House mention, get over it.

#3  Oh by the way, that's Eric Sevareid over there in the corner behind me, smoking a cigarette.

He has been mumbling something all day, about using tobacco and tobacco plants to cure Ebola.

Really, no one is paying attention to this or anything he has to say, really, he drinks you know... not a little, like you and me,...but... a lot and we think he uses hemp... after that broadcast on CBS Evening News for
Tuesday, Oct 28, 1969, Eric Sevareid analyzed legalizing marijuana. We think he got "first hand experience". All that Jimmy Hendricks music he plays...

Don't listen to him, he is off his nut.

#4  Thank God we don't have a President that smoked dope or did drugs... you know what that could lead to... detachment from reality, detachment of empathy or sympathy for the plight of another human being, callous disregard for the law, government action by executive order, bypassing the rule of law, ignoring the separation of powers, and other more crimes and misdemeanors.

Of course, that all stopped by the threat to impeach Richard Milhous Nixon... No Democrat would ever want to be compared to Nixon !

Montana papers call for Walsh to end Senate campaign
[THEHILL] Two of Montana's largest papers are calling on Sen. John Walsh (D-Mont.) to end his election bid following revelations he plagiarized much of his Army War College final paper.

The Billings Gazette and the Missoulian both blasted Walsh in their Sunday op-eds, calling for Walsh to suspend his campaign.

"Having repeatedly said that he wants to do the honorable thing, Walsh should stop campaigning and do his utmost to serve Montanans well in the remainder of his brief Senate appointment. That is the honorable course," writes the Gazette's editorial board. "We call on Walsh to devote all his time to serving as U.S. senator and bag the campaigning."

The Missoulian went a step farther, suggesting that he could also immediately resign.

"Walsh could resign his Senate seat immediately. [Gov. Steve] Bullock could then appoint a temporary replacement who isn't running for election, as many Montanans had hoped he would do earlier this year, before he went with Walsh. That replacement could see that the legislation Walsh supported received continued support," writes the Missoulian's editorial board.

"But if Walsh doesn't do that, at a minimum, he should drop out of the Senate race. He has until Aug. 11 to do so and get his name removed from the ballot, which would allow the Montana Democratic Party to name a replacement candidate by Aug. 20 — just in time to make sure that candidate's name appears on the ballot," that paper continues.

The calls are the latest sign that Walsh is a dead man running in the wake of his plagiarism scandal. Walsh, who was appointed to the Senate earlier this year, was already facing an uphill battle, and it's almost impossible to see how he bounces back against Rep. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) following the blowback from the scandal.

Little wonder Missoulian democrats are upset and clambering for his resignation.

#2  You KNOW he's NOT going To do "The Honorable Thing" What's left.
Posted by: Redneck Jim || 08/07/2014 8:09 Comments || Top||

#3  Appointees get appointed because they are a known quantity. They will do what they are told. Independent thinkers don't get appointed to anything these days.

Walsh will do what he's told, when he's told to do it.
