Remember that old SNL/Eddie Murphy bit: “I’m Gumby, dammit!”? More and more, that springs to mind, with “Hillary” substituted for “Gumby”.
I said it in another thread and I’ll say it again. Clinton shot her ownself by double talking, calling foul on Obama and then committing the same foul herself - this entire campaign fell through her fingers like sand…too bad she was standing on Obama’s beach. He’s going to make a very good POTUS.
I am glad to see that Bill is trying to bring back the beard on the politician. My wife works as a milliner, and she and her cohorts want to get a hat to Obama and try and get him to bring back the hat since Kennedy killed it. Obama would look swank in a nice hat.
He looks mighty fine in a cowboy hat, if you ask me.
::drool::
Whooooooooooooo-eeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Dang, that is HAWT.
Maybe, mswas, your wife and friends should go to work on Michelle. After all, if she could make him give up smoking to get her to sign on for the campaign, she should have no problem persuading him into a hat.
Echoes of Clevon Little in “Blazing Saddles”.
I was so tempted to inappropriately quote the obvious Lili Von Shtupp line…
“Is dat a ten-gallon hat, cowboy, ow aw you zhust enjoying the show?” 
Oh, that line. . . .
“Is it true how zey say zat you people are… gifted?”
Just as only Nixon could go to China… 
You know who else had a beard? Judas, that’s who! :rolleyes: Oy.
Oh, that will help. :rolleyes:
No wonder she doesn’t fire her staffers when they say things like that. Pretty soon, there’d be none left! :smack:
It’s an interesting take. Endorsements are worth less because they go against favors “owed”? He should have endorsed Hillary even believong that Obama is the better candidate because her husband gave him a job and he did it very well? It implies that her endorsements are less endorsements of who she is and what she is capable of than of favors returned.
She got her pound of flesh out of Richardson. He held off endorsing Obama before Super Tuesday and again before Texas. He waited until it was at a point where there was no real chance that she could win and only endorsed as a message that it is time to wind this thing down before it causes serious harm to the Democratic prospects in the Fall. That paid his debt and more. If he came out before Super Tuesday and worked it then he could have made a difference in California and of course in New Mexico. Before Texas and he would have maybe swung the 2 or 3 % that would have given the outright victory there. He may regret not having had enough spine to have done so now. But he doesn’t owe them going against his best judgment of what is best for this country and it is an insult to America to suggest he does.
Since I saw Richardson on one of the Sunday morning shows (Meet the Press, I think) and it seems that you did not, I should point out that he said that he was very close to endorsing Hillary, and almost did after he and Bill watched the Superbowl together. “Very persuasive” was how he described Bill.
Perhaps that’s a contributing factor to why Carville feels “Judas” is justified? Knowing that they almost had his endorsement, only to have it slip away…
Even if it’s kosher to call it a “betrayal”, ISTM that it can only be “Judas-like” if the person who took the back-stab is Christ-like.
On that level alone, Carville’s choice of words didn’t sit well with me.
The correct symbol for a backstabber is Brutus, not Judas.
If the Clinton people can’t get their metaphors right, how can they possibly run a country? 
They probably prefer the other end of the metaphor, figuring that Hillary is more like Christ than like Caesar.
I can think of a Shakespearean character other than Caesar she could be…
Richard III? That’s mean.
