Hangin’ With “The Rez”
Just when we thought we would be enjoying a truce between the Clintons and Barack Obama — perhaps, even a “love fest” — “Barry” pulls a dirty trick on Hillary during her interview on national television; NBC. The interview’s going great when suddenly, unexpectedly, the interviewer pulls a fast one (source: TPM Election Central) and shows the Former First Lady Former (Co) President a still photo of herself, the Future First Laddy? other Former (Co) President, and [psst... "alleged"] crooked “slumlord”, Antonio (a.k.a., “Tony”) Rezko all hanging out with each other in what appears to be a prelude to some “free love” and future “bidness” dealins’ (?).
Democratic voters of the Great State of South Carolina, perhaps unappreciative of Barack Obama’s dirty politics, might be punishing him as we speak, with Zoghby now reporting the Future(?) third black president’s lead is slipping slightly with the primary just hours away from now. Let that be a lesson to Mr. Obama and all other politicians who would demean the Clintons in any way. They are great people and Sir Hillary Rodham Clinton didn’t deserve such treatment, particularly on national TV. Please, Mr. Obama — some civility?
Here is the thumbnail (click to enlarge) of Hillary’s second “gotchya moment” in this campaign, as promised in the title of this article:
Donchya just wanna HUG THIS POOR LADY? My heart goes out to Hill and Bill — this is just FILTHY politics, folks. We are so much better than this and I’ve never been more ashamed of Mr. Obama than I am at this very moment. SHAMEFUL. Just SHAMEFUL.
And the response from the understandably offended Former/Future Third-Termer Co-Presidents Clinton? Very, very civil considering this indescent tresspass against them…
Bill: “I’m going to say this and I’m only going to say this once. We… did… NOT… Have any bidness dealings with that man.”
Hillary: “Oh, we don’t even know the man. We have been pausing to take hundreds of photographs per day for decades with anybody and everybody who wants to have their picture taken with us. We’ve always been friendly like that, Bill and I. Who’s this Rezko guy again?”
So, there ya go — Barack’s own version of the proverbial “November Surprise” is clearly backfiring on him. Clean it up, Sir. For the sake of America.

Obama’s gone too far this time. Maybe when Russ Feingold gets through with John Edwards he can rip Obama a new one, too.

I can’t tell if she looks busted or if she looks like a plot of hers is working. I did read some comment somewhere that the Clinton’s are the ones that provided the photo. In any case, I think the caption for the photo on ABC should be the Clintons saying:
“We did not have sex with that man, Mr. Rezko!”

Money doesn’t just grow on trees, ya know. Unless ofcourse you happen to be a top 0.1%er Republican of the Halliburton persuasion.

Could this be the end of Rodham ? Where are the young Republican photos with Barry Goldwater. Hillory talks about going to a Martin Luther King speech in Chicago in 1962 and her committment to the cause and not about her support for his nemesis Barry Goldwater. Goldwater, Rezko, Johnny Chung, Charlie Tree, Mrs Hsu and Ng. A LOT OF kODAK MOMENTS CAN HAUNT YOU
