Hillary Clinton = Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf
Better known to the American public as Baghdad Bob!
On April 7, 2003, al-Sahhaf claimed that there were no American troops in Baghdad, and that the Americans were committing suicide by the hundreds at the city's gates.
On April 8, 2003, when he said that the Americans "are going to surrender or be burned in their tanks. They will surrender, it is they who will surrender".
This reminded me of Hillary supporters current argument and made me laugh.
"Hillary is the better candidate" even though she won less delegates, half as many states and needs to count states that she personally said wouldn't matter to argue any sort of lead.
"Obama should drop out" even though he's winning.
Her supporters are just as disconnected from reality as al-Sahhaf ever was.

We love the Iraqi Information Minister!

That site is too funny.
Should we put Terry McAuliffe on the coffee mugs?

The HRC Information Minister? Terry fits the mold better, as he's the one out front pimpin' fiction for her.

Too true!
That man is completely disconnected from the real world. I don't know if she keeps him hopped up on shrooms or something stronger, but he is out there.
At least Wolfson occasionally says something that proves he's not completely lobotomized.

I just wish Wolfson didn't look like a funeral parlor director who's been dabbling with the formaldehyde one too many times.
But, that's just me, I guess.
