She can't stop rationalizing her actions and justifying her words. She's so defensive right now that I think she quit running for President a while back and is now running for county clerk somewhere...in redneck Appalachia.

She said this three times. Once in TIME magazine in March, and earlier this month to supporters in West Virginia. I guess the third time really is the charm.

I never liked HRC, but by fighting "like a cornered racoon"(Dowd's own words) she has earned some grudging respect. If she continues to annoy press, Kossacks, DUmmies & other Obamatrons, I may contribute to her campaign.

Hillary is an embarrassment to me as a feminist: she had every right to run, and it's great that she did so well (till she opened her big stupid mouth). But her lack of grace in failure -- the continual hope to change the rules after the game has begun only because now the rule change would suit her -- certainly makes her look like the petulant, naggy stereotypical kind of woman that sexists take such joy in pointing to at the drop of a hat. It's unfortunate that she's feeding the sharks. I was for her at first, then Obama made more sense to me, and I wish she'd just go away now.

At least the Daily News didn't hop on the "pile on Hillary" bandwagon. At least not today.

Think Twice, I think you commented on the wrong entry. Maybe you should have Looked Twice.

I've said before and I'll say it again: They're our own little slice of Rwanda, Congo, Zimbabwe, and Haiti with their little warlords and little war crimes. Get all the Projects off the taxpayer's roll and put them out into the market and let the good tenants and bad tenants sort themselves out.

So basically her apology was not an apology at all. She's saying everyone else is wrong and she is right. What chutzpah.

crat3, surely your post was meant as sarcasm... It's getting hard to tell these days...

She has repeatedly shown that she does not chose her words wisely. This and the "hard working white Americans" comment are great examples. She claims experience, but doesn't seem to know better than to bring up assassinations of presidential contenders. Were her words taken out of context? Yes. However, there are so many better ways to say that Bobby Kennedy was still running for the nomination when he was killed in June of 1968. Remember, she is referencing something that happened 40 years ago. I'd be willing to bet a fair majority of Americans under that age group were not aware that Bobby Kennedy was still campaigning for the nomination in June (I know that I was). It is fairly easy to see how this was misinterpreted.

Crat3, you don't sound like a real person: "continues unabated with a vengeance to hone in..." - are you one of those paid Hillbots? Regardless, it'd be much less of a story if Hillary was capable of simply saying, "I was really tired/crazy/stressed the other day and I'm sorry." But you'll never find anything like that in the words of someone who is motivated only by entitlement.

The pro-Obama biased media are in a frenzy whipping up a tempest out of the ether to sabotage Sen. Clinton's campaign. The complete lack of journalistic integrity continues unabated with a vengeance to hone in for a "kill" on Sen. Clinton, with distortion and malicious misrepresentation of an innocuous point mentioning a historical fact. The pro-Obama biased media are now in a mode of commandeering the Democratic presidential nomination process to sink Sen. Clinton's candidacy. Clearly, in her fight for the future of America and for all Americans, Sen. Clinton is engaged in a battle against media tyranny. Media tyranny is our democracy's worse enemy.
