9. She is already backpeddling -- she knows she fucked up big time.
She issued a statement saying she didn't mean to offend with her remark.

30. That's right! "I regret if you were offended."
Typical republican apology from DINO Clinton.

5. I tuned in a little late, but a woman from (maybe?) Center for American Progress
it was a leftish group, at least -- said that this could end consideration of her for VP. Wolfie seemed surprised: "It's that serious?"

The guy from Romney's campaign basically agreed with the woman.

29. I could be wrong, but I believe she or Bill
Edited on Fri May-23-08 04:24 PM by lob1
first said this a month or two ago. It was in answer to the same question.

Jesus, Pat Buchannan is on MSNBC saying it was an insensitive statement. Even the house racist thinks it's insensitive.

2. She did this on purpose.
She knew it would get major coverage. She wants the dogwhistle to reach the broadest possible audience.

19. Of course she did. You can say the '68 primaries went to June without mentioning the assassination.
She purposely mentioned the assassination, likely as a cue to superdelegates who started to move today. She's saying everything and ANYTHING to get them to pause.

24. That's generous of you.
I don't think her comment was directed at superdelegates.

25. I'm thinking this will push the supers away from her.
She's starting to look radioactive.

10. Cafferty: Hillary Clinton's Foot in Mouth Disease.
She's had so many 'mispeaks' involving truly vile things, that it makes me believe that this is what she truly believes.

Earlier today I said that I didn't think obama would let the SDs flood until after June 3, and that we should just let it all play out. Well, fuck that. I hope they come like a wave crashing down on her, and putting her to an end for good. Her and Bill just need to go away and retire in Dubai or something.

32. Well, exactly. They've already got a sense of the narrative, apparently.
No need for framing.
