Hilary Clinton blasts Bush Administration and Republicans for Abuse of Power….about fucking time SOMEBODY did.
Some great quotes from the Senator:
“I know it’s frustrating for many of you; it’s frustrating for me: Why can’t the Democrats do more to stop them? I can tell you this: It’s very hard to stop people who have no shame about what they’re doing.”
and my personal favorite:
“The press is missing in action, with all due respect,” she said. “Where are the investigative reporters today? Why aren’t they asking the hard questions? It’s shocking when you see how easily they fold in the media today. They don’t stand their ground. If they’re criticized by the White House, they just fall apart. I mean, c’mon, toughen up, guys, it’s only our Constitution and country at stake,” she said. “Let’s get some spine.”
I’m sure we can expect the American Taliban Smear Machine to start hitting the JesusSheep with the whole “Bitchy Lesbian Lady-MacBeth” portrayals any minute now.
Enh, they’d have treated her like that if she’d said “boo” to Rummy. It’s a common tactic against any woman who has amassed any sort of power or authority — she’s a woman who has gotten someplace, so obviously she either slept her way there, or she’s a ball-twisting hag.
Still… good on her. And good on Dean, if you ask me. I like Joe Biden, and I’m sure he’s trying to remain diplomatic (not to mention, he may be looking to run for President next election if the frequency of his appearances in the news are anything to judge by), but I simply think they’ve been telling it like it is without any sort of sugar-coating.
I never thought I say this, but: Go Hilary!
I think her best reply would be “You say ball twisting hag like it’s a bad thing.”
It’s too bad she’s been painted with such an unfortunate brush. The woman can kick serious ass when she wants to.
OTOH being a ball-twisting hag is probably the only way she could get anywhere… like male politicians are so nice. Bah!
