| Duuude, it would be, like, a bummer if Hillary makes youthful drug use, like, a campaign issue. |

| American Digest YESTERDAY drugs were such an easy game to play. Yesterday a Hillary operative ate his words faster than a stoner gobbling a smoldering roach when the fuzz kicks in the door. Yeterday morning, the Washington Post reported that New Hampshire Clintonite Billy Shaheen said "Obama's candor on the subject [of drugs in his youth] would "open the door" to further questions. "It'll be, 'When was the last time? Did you ever give drugs to anyone? Did you sell them to anyone?'" By nightfall, the same abashed operative was groveling before the press with: "I deeply regret the comments I made today and they were not authorized by the campaign in any way." I think he received a rocket via telephone from Hillary herself. She wants no discussion of youthful drug experiments. And with reason. Reasons that go back to the Clintons' Berkeley Summer of Love in 1971 -- if not before. Reasons that I know well because I was in Berkeley in that summer of 1971. . . . |

| #6 There's something about this whole campaign, on both sides, that just doesn't ring true. From my reading of the major Republican candidates, there's not one of them that I consider to be top flight or worthy of holding Reagan's mantle. The most rightwing of them is going to take us somewhat to the left. Now, if you look at the Dems, their two front-runners are people who a decade ago would never have been considered viable candidates by reasonable politicians. If Hillary was Mother Teresa and Obama was Colin Powell, I still can't see a guy like Tip O'Neill ever realistically thinking they had a shot. Now, throw in the "Huma rug-munching dyke married to the most corrupt pol in U.S. history" theme, and mix it with the "woefully inexperienced candidate/drug doin' nigga" stuff that's been/is being said about Obama, and it starts to look as if these two were specifically chosen to be knocked down like bowling pins. That's where I start getting skeptical. The Dems are perverted and venal, but no one gets to the top of any organization so potentially powerful without having a pretty fair amount of intelligence. Clinton and Obama are not only poor candidates, they're horrible candidates, and for a multiplicity of reasons. I can't see anyone who truly wanted to win this election picking them. The Dems have done stupid things before in presidential campaigns; McGovern and Dukakis stand out as examples. There's something about this one that just makes me awfully suspicious though. I just keep feeling we're being led as a nation to someplace we don't want to go by being forced to make choices between the bad and the worse. And I wouldn't put it past the kingmakers of both parties to collude at such an endeavor. I'd love to think I was just having a paranoid moment through not believing the Dems could be so truly stupid... |

| #5 Go read the article, put some Grateful Dead on the Ipod and you will fell like you have landed in a Journeyman episode. The details provided by the writer are a trip in the "wayback machine"... If Bill and Hill were chillin in Berkely and not "partaking", they would have been run off as narcs. |

| #3 Hey, this is the Clintonista Christmas Pagent so watch the show and donate as you leave. We'll get back to you on those rumors of Obama being gay. Political bombs followed by humble apologies for some bumbling staffer. You just can't get good staff these days. |
