Putting Mrs. Clinton on the spot?

You know something hit me today during the coverage of the British terrorist release business.

I can’t see how England did this without at least informing the US if this is true the big loser is Not going to be president Obama.

Back when Hillary was named Sec of State it seemed a shrewd move for both parties. By making Mrs. Clinton a part of the administration she is tied to it, and by taking State she not only avoids having to deal with a declining economy but she puts herself in a position to resign in protest at a key moment if she wants to make a move.

It it turns out that the British DID inform the US prior to the release/deal concerning Al Megrahi release, that would likely have gone up the command ladder. It is impossible that it would not have hit Hillary before it reached the president.

Now Mrs. Clinton is in an untenable position. As she didn’t object at the time she becomes complicit, and if she HAD then the president backs her up and has another mini toughguy episode to play with.

It is not impossible that the British foolishly (or cleverly) didn’t say a word to us, but baring that this might be another example of playing the Chicago game very well.

Pure speculation of course but that’s what I think.

Update: Mr. #24,154 agrees that it’s unlikely the Administration didn’t know. You can decide if that improves my case.

Buried inside this story is the quote that sums up the Democratic party in a nutshell:

“The question so many Democrats are asking themselves is this: Is it better to duck and cover through Election Day, or is it better to listen but ignore their concerns?” said NRCC spokesman Tory Mazzola.

That’s basically it.

You Vill sign! …and we thank you for your support

Some interesting tactics being used to gin up support for Obama/Kennedy care.

These green shirts blocked the north entrance to the high school parking lot. All who wanted to enter to hear Representative Perlmutter had to go approximately 1/4 of a mile to the west entrance. They said everyone had to sign in for security reasons.

Apparently the security was for the security of the democratic party because once things got started the congressman Ed Permutter…

…who thanked all who had signed the clipboard form and stated that all these signatures would go on to to Washington showing support of the Obama Health Care Plan.

Well hey it not as if they were trying to move the event or something to keep people from showing up…Oh wait:

What should also be mentioned is that the location was changed at the last minute from the Aurauria campus to this high school. It was only the determination of the anti obamacare activists who were on top of this fact that any of our counterdemonstrators showed up at all.

The late breaking news on the OFA website the night before was noticed by one of the freedom groups and he alerted as many people as he could. No doubt, many showed up to protest at the other location and never knew of the change.

Well its not like they are kicking out people for questioning the presence of the Union astroturfers…Oh Wait again

He challenged Shea-Porter on the appearance of SEIU protesters in the room, one of whom got up and disrupted his question. When the first man then challenged the residency of the SEIU rep, police swooped in and removed him.

After all there is nothing more dangerous than an elderly retired policeman. You’d think it ain’t America no more?

Gee phony security, bussed in demonstrators, moving events, removing people who question them. The tactics used by the administration and its supporters seem old style soviet odd to an observer. It’s almost as they were part of some sort of Culture of Corruption or something.

They need it for 2012 and 2016 for Sarah

I guess this is Newsweek’s article to celebrate Sarah Palin Day.

Why does Newsweek have an article arguing that the word “Cunt” is losing its sting and should be “reclaimed?” I think it’s because our liberal friends discovered it during the 2008 campaign.

The article itself in unexciting but has this hilarious conclusion:

And even though I question our squeamishness about the C word, I don’t believe we’ll be using it willy-nilly, at least not anytime soon. Despite my secret affection for the term and the women who say it, I just can’t bring myself to type it out here—and not just because NEWSWEEK, a family brand, helps pay for my daughter’s expensive private school. It’s still just too powerful

Oh Kathy Kathy Kathy of course it will be used. Democrats and Liberals will have need of the term for 2012 or 2016 so the campaign to excuse it has to begin now.

And if you don’t believe that this will happen or that it was a common opinion among the left or even feminists on the left. Dr. Violet Socks can recite chapter and verse to remind and admonish you that respect is not only for women you agree with.
