Has Hillary Already Been Vice President? Her Campaign Advisor Says So.
Did any of you just watch the Verdict with Dan Abrams on MSNBC?
They were discussing whether Barack Obama should ask Hillary Clinton to be his Vice President or not. Dan Abrams showed where polls say Hillary supporters want her to be his VP.
Well, Maria Cardona, a senior advisor to Hillary Clinton's campaign, said something to the effect that maybe Hillary doesn't even want the VP slot...."she was already the VP during the Clinton years ya know."
I wish I had the transcript but it's not listed yet.
Anyway, I thought this comment was rude and insulting of Al Gore's Vice Presidency. Do you agree?
Is this really the way Hillary feels about her time in the White House as First Lady? Did she really consider herself the Vice President?

You can't hold Hillary responsible for a stupid comment made by a stupid adviser. It happens. Rude, yes. Demeaning of Gore, absolutely. But not Hillary's comment.

I wish Dan Abrams would stop harping on this subject. He is so in the tank for HRC.

That Maria Cardonas seems bitter still. Give her time.

She definitely said something like "And you know she was already vice president for 8 years".
I too thought it pretty rude to Al Gore.
Maria Cardona (the aid) did seem a bit bitter in the wake of the past week.
I also wish Dan would let go of the Hillary as V.P. rap, he's been way overboard on the subject, doing a segment about it every show since last tuesday night. Enough already.
Anyone else sick of the republican cat Brad Beckman that’s been on Dan’s show way to much lately? Guess since his little project ‘Freedom Watch’ fizzled out.
What a jackarse.

I will complain as long as I keep hearing rude and ugly comments like this one.
Al Gore was a great VP and would have made a great PRES!
