Since it seemed to be Family Day in the shebeen on Monday, I think it was probably appropriate for me to refer back to my grandmother’s perennial question for anyone who seemed to be overly impressed with themselves.
.................................................

Apparently, Rep. Six Percent was taken quite aback by Hillary Rodham Clinton’s intimation that Gabbard might have some fans among the Volga Bagmen. So Gabbard’s campaign decided to make...demands. Goddamn, this is hilarious.

In light of this, we demand that you immediately hold a press conference to verbally retract -- in full -- your comments. We also demand that you immediately publish this full and fair retraction on the account @HillaryClinton and distribute it to CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post

.



Try not to fall down laughing at this next part. (My quote marks):

“On October 17, 2019, I made certain statements about Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. Among other things, I accused her of being a Russian asset and that Russia was grooming her to be a third-party candidate.

“I was wrong. I never should have made these remarks, and I apologize. I did not have any basis for making the statements. I acknowledge my grave mistake and error in judgment in this matter.

“I support and admire the work that Congresswoman Gabbard has done and will continue to do in serving our country.”

Why don’t they suggest HRC pass the time by playing a little Solitaire?

Lawyers representing Hawaii Rep. and 2020 Democratic presidential contender Tulsi Gabbard wrote a letter to former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on Monday, demanding that she retract a statement saying that Republicans were grooming a female 2020 candidate.

Initially, there was confusion after Clinton's comments, made on the "Campaign HQ" podcast weeks ago, were taken out of context when listeners and reporters thought Clinton said Russia, not Republicans, was grooming a 2020 candidate for a third-party run.


When asked for comment at the time, a Clinton spokesman said, “if the nesting doll fits.”

Gabbard latched onto Clinton’s comments, and is now calling them defamatory. The Clinton team later worked to clarify that she was talking about Republicans grooming a candidate for a third-party run.............................................................................
