SENATOR CLINTON RECALLS
The news just keeps getting better for Hillary:
A Michigan man facing federal criminal charges of illegally working for Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi Intelligence Service says he met with Hillary Clinton at the White House in May 1996.
In a 1997 interview with this reporter, Muthanna Hanooti said that at the meeting, Mrs. Clinton was “very receptive” to his request for an easing of the American sanctions on Iraq that were in place at the time ... Asked whether Senator Clinton recalls the meeting ...
“I remember he had snipers,” Mrs Clinton replied brightly. “Snipers everywhere!” Despite her woes, the wife of Monica Lewinsky’s former boyfriend has vowed to take it to the floor, which could provide for the first interesting Democrat convention since 1968. She’s currently chunking along at 37 per cent approval, although Barack Obama isn’t doing so well himself:
Obama’s former minister, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, also came under fire this week when reports surfaced that he had written an article for Trumpet Magazine, run by his daughters, in which he said that “white supremacy is clearly in charge in America.” The article also quotes him referring to Italians’ “garlic noses,” and characterizing Jesus’ crucifixion as “a public lynching, Italian-style.”
There goes the Italian lynch mob vote. Obama has lately sorta kinda distanced himself from the Reverend:
"Had the reverend not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn’t have felt comfortable staying at the church."
That’s hypothetical change you can believe in, people.
