The "Tonya Harding Option" is now sticking.

[ThatBozGuy]

I have heard it 3 times flipping trough CNN MSNBC and other news stations

[VolcanoJen]

1. Yep. Whatever DNC operative leaked that meme to the press...

... is definitely not a Hillary fan.

They're eating their Gilooly Metaphors with a spoon right now. :-)

[blm]

13. Hey - I worked hard spreading that one since Nov2006. ;))))))

I think I was even suspended here at DU a few times for it, too. Heheh.

I knew that meme would stick once more people woke up to the string of betrayals TeamClinton has directed at the Dem party over the years.

I think they are just more VISIBLE now that she's been running for president OPENLY. From 2000-2006 Clinton loyalists were doing their dirty work behind the scenes to Gore and Kerry.

[seafan]

25. Heh. We'll be hearing this comparison for years to come.

63. I so loved the Clintons promoting Obama as their VP

To me, it demonstrated what so many are saying... that Obama will help with downticket races, his coattails as it were. His coattails are so impressive that even Hillary and Bill were trying to use them to win the nomination.

[ClassWarrior]

50. From your mouth to the SDs' ears, blm...

:toast:

NGU.

[ginnyinWI]

56. when I saw her making light of her "misstatements"

I immediately thought of her attacking Kerry over the botched joke. He messed up ONE word. She told a whole messed up story that didn't square with the facts. She wanted everyone to think that Kerry meant to attack the troops (something that would contradict his whole life's story), but when she messes up, she thinks she gets to say, "oh well we all make mistakes!" Oh the hypocrisy!

[blm]

64. Bill dropped HIS PANTS and was defended. Kerry dropped a PRONOUN and Hillary scolds him?

.

[SoCalDem]

26. or an exquisitely sharpened

[KittyWampus]

45. Here's a poll. Nellie Olson, Tonya Harding, Joan Crawford....

[SoCalDem]

52. Mean, meaner, meanest?

:)

[LakeSamish706]

2. Some Superdelegate are upset with the Hillary campagin and could come to...

the Obama side before Pennsylvania according to Chuck Todd of MSNBC.

[VolcanoJen]

4. It would only take a handful of the "big" superdelegates...

... to start the gold rush. Pelosi, Gore, Carter, for example. James Carville will run out of euphenisms.

[earthlover]

16. James Carville? Who cares about him? His time came and went....

He is humorous and partisan. If you want entertainment, he is your man. If you want someone whose partisanship doesn't blind, he is not...

[Bad Thoughts]

17. "James Carville will run out of euphenisms"

Someone in the media should use that line.

[Larkspur]

31. James Carville sleeps with the enemy, literally.

His wife is a GOP strategist. What a pair of scumbags.

[bhikkhu]

35. "Euphemisms", before it gets repeated too often mispelled.

from the Greek "euphemismos"; a mild or vague expression used in place of one thought too harsh or direct.

[progdog]

42. Thank you!

:applause:

[grantcart]

47. damn straight there will be a test

[bilgewaterbill]

49. I disagree. James Carville will be more popular than

a turd bucket at a backwoods chili contest.

[ThatBozGuy]

19. Pelosi and Carter have both publicaly tipped their hand in who they are leaning to

Both have made public statements that were Obama leaning.

[VolcanoJen]

21. They have, but they need to make it plain.

A great speech like Richardson's at an Obama rally would do the trick. :-)

[ThatBozGuy]

24. They will June 6th, when all of Ms Clintons excuses are played out, I dont think she will make it

That far, she doesn't even have enough cash for her Pennsylvania ad buys and her team has been unable to commit to schedules beyond PA

[ginnyinWI]

58. that was the best endorsement speech I've ever heard.

He meant every word--you could just tell. :)

[Cha]

55. carville will run out of old Losers to compare

Dems to..

"Carville: Dean's Leadership Rumfeldian"

"James Carville tells reporters that were it not for Howard Dean's incompetence, Democrats would have 20 more House seats".

12. McGovern is moving and even saying she is unelectable

[better tomorrow]

3. it IS a clever one....

But, why are you flipping channels? Keith is on!

[tishaLA]

6. oh dear

that picture. oh dear.

[VolcanoJen]

7. Nooooooooo

OMG!! Why? Why?????

[HysteryDiagnosis]

34. Wah hoo wah hoo wah hoo hoo..... looks like the grinch took her

christmas away... pity.

[easy_b94]

14. I like thick women but ..WOW she a little to big for me

[Alexander]

20. Why? Does Hillary use steroids?

[better tomorrow]

23. huh?

:shrug:

[Alexander]

44. Tonya Harding didn't get that big all by herself.

[Yael]

28. Yikes!

She really beefed up. Her biceps are HUGE! They look like baseballs.

[Teaser]

33. my eyes....the goggles, they do nothing!!!

[Lucky 13]

37. Rainier Wolfcastle? Radioactive Man? Is that you?

[Recursion]

66. Was that from the "Celebrity Boxing" match where she chased Paula Jones for 3 rounds?

Ah, Fox. If it's not When Buildings Explode it's Celebrity Boxing. Or the even more brilliant sequel Runway Model Boxing (I'm not making that one up).

"In this corner, weighing in at 98 pounds..."

[begin_within]

5. Tonya, not Tanya

[better tomorrow]

11. Barack, not Barry

:rofl:

[CTyankee]

8. Rethug Pat Buchanan was using tonight on Hardball.

He is a scuz of the worse order. Let's just hope he gets so senile and demented he can't go on and his family takes over his affairs.

NO MORE old racist guys on TV commentaries! And I say this as an old person...the hell with them!

[KAZ]

9. I just emailed the DNC regarding Tonya Clinton. n/t

[LSparkle]

10. That's probably why Reid is so serene ... he knows what's going on

It's just this kind of drip-drip-drip of SuperDelegates taking sides
that will lead to HRC's demise.

[CoffeeCat]

41. Reid is for Hillary, right?

Reid's son works on Clinton's campaign. I just assumed Reid was
for Hillary.

Furthermore, Reid engineered a key vote, during a time when it was impossible for
Obama to be there. I assumed he did that for Clinton.

Am I wrong?

[flor de jasmim]

15. I had no sympathy for her at the time...

but I kind of feel sorry for Tanya now--after all, that was HOW MANY years ago? Ditto Monica.

[FrenchieCat]

18. That's about right.

And you know what happened to Tonya, right?

[slinkerwink]

22. man. No one wants to be called Tonya Harding.

[Raine]

27. Tonya Harding is a joke...

Hillary, is that what you really want??? :silly: :-(

[meow mix]

29. Hillary Clinton = Tonya Harding.

So Be It!

[blm]

32. Just for the record - that was the EXACT TITLE of my post in Jan 2007 about Hillary.

Hillary Clinton = Tonya Harding.

Putting her thugs to work to try and eliminate strong rivals BEFORE the competition because she doesn't have the talent and confidence to compete fairly alongside them.

>>>>>>

[meow mix]

43. lol good call

:toast:

[blm]

70. Not hard to figure - Hill did NOT want to be on a debate stage with Gore or Kerry and

her goons were working for years to diminish them in the eyes of the Dem party after their campaigns, and knowing full well that they were the ones acting to undermine both nominees in those elections by keeping a DNC and party machine in a condition too weak to get their votes secured and counted.

[unkachuck]

60. you da man, blm!!....n/t

[blm]

65. ahem.....woman. ;)

every now and then it's good to check out the DU Gallery to view the 'family' we've developed here, unka - helps with some of the he/she stuff.

[Nedsdag]

48. Well..........

If the skate fits!

[tabasco]

30. The "kitchen sink" gutter strategy IS the Tonya Harding option

and it didn't work.

OMG - that pic of Tonya.

[Lucky 13]

36. Bosnia is Hillary's busted skate lace

and all this "I misspoke" and "let FL and MI have another vote" sounds about the same to me as Tonya crying to the judges, "MY LACE BROKE! PLEASE! JUST LET ME START IT OVER!".

So desperate and so pathetic that no one, for fear of calling any more public embarrasment to the woman or themselves, dares to try to stop her. This whole thing is just Dems whispering amongst themselves, "ok, just let her do what she wants. You know she ain't gonna win. I know she ain't gonna win. This whole thing is a trainwreck."

You want to feel sorry for her, then you remember how she got here. Tonya had Gillooly and a crowbar - Hillary chose the kitchensink.

In 5 years or so, I recommend putting money on Hillary in Celebrity Boxing. She fiesty!

[mzmolly]

38. You said it!

Blech.

[better tomorrow]

51. bosnia is Hillary's busted skate lace....good one!

:rofl:

[tinrobot]

39. They look similar:

Tonya:



Hillary:

[Lucky 13]

53. Damn. Just Damn.

[Road Scholar]

40. And Barak Obama ain't Nancy Kerrigan, the Democratic party is. This is

more serious than folks think. It's not about a Democratic nominee anymore, it's about the election. The worst possible thing that could possibly happen to this country, thanks to Bill and Hill's greed and arrogance.

[blm]

71. EXACTLY - Democratic party and its voters have all been sabotaged by TeamClinton for many YEARS

at this point. They have undermined every Dem leader who has come forward for the party starting with Gore, Kerry, Dean, and now Obama.

The difference now is that most of us KNOW NOW what Clintons have been doing to hurt our party and its candidates and will not stand silent with the knowledge.

[InsultComicDog]

46. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy???!!! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy???!! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy???!! nt

[Mme. Defarge]

54. At least Hillary

isn't from Oregon.

[WillyT]

57. Me Too !!!

Several times.

59. stick, baby, stick!!....n/t

[PerfectSage]

61. Mark Penn is the Tonya Harding of Hilliarliary's Campaign,

Tonya Harding. That's a damn good meme.
The meme is showing up in the news.

Let it spread.

[krkaufman]

62. It's such a perfect analogy... and with just the sleezy touch the media loves.

The Harding analogy is so apt, given Harding knee-capped her opponent, resulting in neither winning the gold -- exactly what Hillary may be doing to Obama and Democratic chances in November. Plus the media loves the tabloid sound-bite and Tonya was one of the best.

The "Tonya Harding Option" has just the cachet to stick hard, and even finish-off Hillary.

[MattP]

67. Why the insult to Tonya Harding? N/T

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

68. So who would represent Oksana Baiul?

Looks abit like a young Mrs. McCain?

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

69. The McCains get the gold!
