June 3, 2008 is the new January 20, 2009.

Isn't one of the 7 signs of the Apocalypse using the words 'fact-check' and 'Hillary' in the same sentence, without using the word 'numerous'?

Keith Olbermann is a rare breed of pundit: intelligent and well-versed in American History. It's fun watching him and Chris Matthews commentate during this or that primary election. Keith will always titillate by raising obscure, yet accurate, historical anecdotes. I love it. I bet Chris gets that warm, tingling sensation in his leg over Keith.

Obama/Olbermann 08!

"I bet Chris gets that warm, tingling sensation in his leg over Keith."

I know I do!!!!

Keith is our O'Reilly. That said, yeah, I watch him too.

I disagree about the Olberman/O'Reilly comparison. O'Reilly is a bully, which means that deep down he's a coward. He doesn't appear anywhere where he's not in complete control of the microphones, so when he's losing he can cut his opponent off comletely. I don't remember ever hearing of Olberman cutting anyone off.

olberman is a pompous ass-so I guess ass and olberman in the same heading is appropriate. Senator Clinton is intelligent (olberman is a scairdy man afraid of smart women). Olberman is nothing--just another talk show host. OOOH!! Maybe he is as politically astute as SIMON!!!! Olberman can suck oblahblah's teeny peeny--he probably already registered for that priviilge by promising to join the "let's pretend to be a brother" bandwagon that oblahblah drives. I listened to the incredibly buffoonish jon stewart the other night ragging on white voters.
Uh, jon? Hate to break it to you, but you ARE white, too. And, by the way, so is oblahblah--when it is CONVENIENT for him to be so (ie PA, KY, WVA). Suddenly, all these guys think that if they jump on the obamabot bandwagon they will grow long ones. Trust me, the legend is NOT true.
grow up, little men. you are losing ground and it scares the crap out of you that you might actually have to have a woman (other than your mommies) in charge.

When you have that many delegates behind you, you start your negotiation with as high an offer as possible (i.e. the VP) so you can give concessions to get what you actually want.
Why would Clinton want the VP spot? You can't run for anything else but President after that (if your ticket wins) and Clinton will have a fabulous career in the Senate, with lots of power and popularity nation wide.

As for Olberman, he is going to find himself in the same boat as Limbaugh and Savage, mere caricatures of themselves. Trying to keep hysteria stirred up over some superstitious notion of not talking about the elephant in the room, when people are dying in trumped up wars and subverting the constitution just makes me laugh and shake my head. . .

because a Vice President is there in the necessity IF THE PRESIDENT DIES OR IS UNABLE TO CONTINUE THEIR TERM.

Clinton's remark was clearly a "talking point" they had tried out in March before with no adverse response. In the wake of Huckabee's disgusting assassination joke and Ted Kennedy's illness--and only days before the 40th anniversary of the assassination--it backfired. She knew the question was coming and she knew what she wanted to say.

What Clinton wanted to do is raise the specter of 1968--charismatic candidate, mobilized young people, angry blacks, chaotic convention leads to defeat for nearly 25 years (if you count Carter as a defeat). She thought that casting her reference to assassination in the context of why she is still running would bullet-proof her. But it just made people connect the dots between her campaign and her only available remaining path to the presidency--something awful could happen.

What she said won't matter to her supporters. But for those of us who have lived through the horror of 1963 and 1968, she took herself off the short list of people who could and should be a "heartbeat away" from the presidency. It may well be that this mistake will cost Huckabee a slot on the Republican ticket, too, because that assassination joke is now sure to haunt him.

Gotnolife - you really got no life.

I've been gone all day. You were on the board when I left this morning, and here you are still all over it when I get back.

that's sad.

Hillary Clinton should not apologize for the remark she said of Robert F. Kennedy. He was the senator of New York in 1968; she holds the same senate seat that Bobby Kennedy held.

It will be the 40th anniversary of Robert F. Kennedy assassination on June 6th. With all the hype of Ted Kennedy and his brain tumor and the tragedies concerning the Kennedy family, it is on a lot of people’s minds, especially the baby boomers of the 1940’s, 50’s, who saw and lived that tumultuous 60’s era like myself.

It is only fair that we also remember Bobby Kennedy, a young life cut short by a senseless act. No one should apologize for at least remembering Bobby Kennedy and for what he stood for.

On CNN there were special news segment on the 40th anniversary of the Martin Luther King assassination. It was televised for a whole month, Hillary Clinton and John McCain was present at the memorial service given for Martin Luther King. Obama was not present; I guess he had better things to do than to be there.

I only hope that CNN will give the same courtesy to the memory of Robert F. Kennedy -

Quote of Robert F. Kennedy:

Voice of the People

“All great questions must be raised by great voices of the people - Speaking out - in prose, or painting or poetry or music; speaking out
- In homes and halls, streets and farms, courts and cafes - let that Voice speak and the stillness your heart will be the gratitude of
Mankind”.

BELOW IS ROBERT KENNEDY, JR.'s STATEMENT EXPLAINING HILLARY'S COMMENTS.*

ROBERT KENNEDY, JR. IS A CLINTON SUPPORTER.

"It is clear from the content that Hillary was invoking a familiar political circumstance in order to support her decision to stay in the race through June. I have heard her make this reference before, also citing her husband's 1992 race, both of which were hard fought through June. I understand how highly charge the atmosphere is, but I it is a mistake for people to take offense."

Fight on Hillary!

I too remember Robert F. Kennedy and I am also in my 50’s, I too saw and experienced sadness of a life cut short too soon, the thousands of people waving goodbye when the funeral train passed by cities and towns. But I also see Bobby Kennedy’s legacy in all of us, not just Obama but for all Americans especially me, my brothers and sister who are now all in public service.

I hate war and violence especially the riots of 68, it gives no excuse to smash and steel from hard working business owners who try accomplishing the American Dream. The tear gas, the fires and the curfews, I know, I lived it, and it gives no excuse for that kind of violence hatred and destruction.

When Obama decided to run in the Democratic race, I too thought that he would be a good choice. When the news came out about where he gets his spiritual guidance from and the church where he attended, it made me cringe.

The Black liberation theology that he was taught, and the comment s of his Pastor his mentor Rev. Wright preaching “GOD DAMN AMERICA” The company he keeps, the lack of judgment says it all! If Obama really felt for America, why did he stay in this church that practices hate and bigotry for 20 years? I thought we were all rid of this and we all got along!

Why did he and his family stay in this church that used the tragedy of 911, 6 days after it happened, as a joke? When 9-11 happened, it impacted the very core of me and of all Americans. The countless of families that are still grieving for their loss.

Yet Obama stayed in this church that practices hate and played the race card for 20 years. Obama does not deserve to be President!

Fight on Hillary!
