The Swamp

by Glenn Thrush

Nestled in the last graf of the Washington Post's latest Hillary-and-the-war analysis was an interesting little quote from arch-neocon Bill Kristol, who pushed for the Iraq invasion with a realtor's zeal and still thinks it was a swell idea to have purchased Baghdad real estate even if the market's turned sour.

"Obama," said the Weekly Standard editor, "is becoming the antiwar candidate, and Hillary Clinton is becoming the responsible Democrat who could become commander in chief in a post-9/11 world."

We dare Team Clinton to post that endorsement on HillaryHub.com

"that endorsement"??

Isn't that stretching things just a tad? (Gee, I wonder which Best Dressed Candidate, you favor Glenn?)

According to the statement quoted, all that Kristol said is that Obama seems irresponsible and Clinton doesn't. Can you dispute that?


I believe the Swamp made a typographical error. The title reads, "Hawk Kristol...." It should read, "Chickenhawk Kristol...." I love watching Juan Williams take this pathetic weasel to task for his lies and mistruths. The more he lies the redder his face gets.


HRC's smoking of Obama in the debate was one of those pivotal moments in a campaign when the eventual victor asserts herself at the expense of her opponent. Obama has thoroughly been exposed for what he is--vice presidential material. Even Republicans like Kristol see this. Any betting money has to be on her as President-elect in 2008. Sorry, I know Obama's got a lot of fans here, but his best bet is to serve as VP and get some experience so he doesn't sound like such a greenhorn next time he runs for C-in-C in a time of war.


I am way ahead of Kristol. I saw that HRC was a closet Republican long ago, wanting nothing more than to be able to put a Democratic stamp of approval on the Republican corruption we have seen over the last 7 years. She is dead meat to me, and cannot win my Democratic vote come election time. I suspect that there are millions of simularly situation people throughout the country. She would be wise to start talking like a Democrat -- and that right soon.


Beverly Hillbilly Jethro, I know intelligence is beyond your means, but Juan Williams does not take Kristol to task over "lies and mistruths."
They two certainly can get into it, and I know this concept escapes your limited abilities, but the two are also friends who actually debate their points. Same when Brit Hume and Juan Williams go at it.

By the way, Kristol actually went to Iraq last week, spent time throughout the country. Might want to listen to what he says.


If Bill Kristol is endorsing Clinton over Obama, it doesn't say much for Hillary. Paul Wolfowitz will probably be next to endorse Clinton; then Richard Perle; then Elliott Abrams. Advice to Hillary, "It would be best for you to learn to separate war-mongering, pseudo-American, Pro-Israeli Zionists from true American Jews who have no Zionist agenda." The first group will turn on you in a minute or send a Monica Lewinsky to do the job for them.


Be very careful when Republicans begin
endorsing Democrats, just as when Democrats got behind John McCain. They may be just wanting to get the Democrats to nominate the weakest candidate. Hillary's high negatives still hang out there with the full electorate. Obama is more of a clean slate.


Who cares what chickenhawk Bill Kristol thinks...other than the Decider and Little Dick Cheney, which is why we are in this mess that is called "Iraq" in the first place.


Kristol is just supporting Clinton, because he knows that she would be the weaker (of the two candidates) to run against the repug nominee. This reminds me of how the press and general media went after Howard Dean like a hawk after he became uber-popular with the Dems. Just watch, the media does not want a strong anti-war candidate for president. They'd rather have a weakling like Hillary take the nomination; which would make me sick to death.


The Hillary 2000 is a robot designed for one purpose - defeat Obama and/or Edwards in the primaries, then lay down for her republican masters in the general election. It's up to left wing bloggers to expose her! Put down that Hot Pocket! Get out of your parents' basement and go out there and expose Hillary! I would suggest throwing a bucket of water on her. Maybe it will short out her circuits. Good luck.

The above rant looks like it came straight out of the playbook of Sean Pansey and Bill-O from Fox Noise Channel.

Learn to think for yourself, Wingnut robot Herbie.


Compared to the Breck Girl and Boy Wonder, Hillary is the adult in the room.


Of course Kristol would say that. Hillary/Bill is a member of the WIC (Washington Insider Club).


aso many erratic people here wriitng tier opinion they hate a woman who has everything money and intellegence- their chauvenistic as well- why they think that a black muslim kenya aobama become pres. of the united states are they crazy never happen oabma needs training and need expreience. no way jose- dont hate moma hillary u hate ur own mother aswell.me


Of course the Republicans are boosting Hillary. The Bushes, Clintons and Kennedys are best friends. Clinton and Bush Sr. travel the world together, Kennedy and George W. collaborate on
education and immigration legislation. Man, we're in for one big continuation of the 20-year Clinton-Bush reign.


Fox Lies and the queer buffoons(Bill O'Reilly, Sean, the unpatriotic American, Hannity, Fred Barnes, Brit Humus) who infest the channel are scared to death of Hillary. Isn't that just too bad. So sad.
Hillary will get the nomination AND will most likely be the next President of the United States. Anyone who doesn't like can get the hell out of here.
