Level -> Is Al Gore writing Hillary's speeches? (3/23/2008 11:06:01 AM)
I like Al, and would have liked to have seen him run for office, but he did take the truth out for a walk upon occasion. quote: "I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base." --Hillary Clinton, speech at George Washington University, March 17, 2008. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/03/hillarys_balkan_adventures_par.html

As with Obama's factual liberties, it's unnecessary. The truth is she did go to the Balkans, at a time when there was danger. She was not a major diplomatic presence, but neither was she a diplomatic non-entity.

Exactly. They all have accomplishments, there's no need for embellishment.

I like Al, don't care much for Hillary, but, I'll bet you this...if Hillary found herself in the same situation Al did in 2000, a close election with the result hanging on a recount of hanging chads in Florida, she wouldn't have just rolled over, belly up with her paws in the air. She would have gone into "Terminator" mode, fighting, biting, clawing and never quitting until her very last circuit was fried.

I take your point, Level, but it's not exactly new politics is it ? Remember JFK running in a dead heat with Nixon ? Chicago's Mayor Richard J. Daley, Joe Kennedy and Sam Gianncana(Chicago mob boss, ex partners with Joe during prohibition ) were in constant phone contact with Daley repeating, how many votes do you need ? The slogan in Chicago in those days was "Vote early and vote often".. JFK was later quoted in a book (who's name I can't recall, but it was a legitimate account). JFK was laughing recalling those events fondly and said his daddy Joe angrily asked him that night, "goddammit, Jack, how many votes do we need to win ? I'm not paying for a goddamn landslide !"

No, same ol' same ol' -- all the more reason to resent it. I wish he would have won convincingly, now; I wish we didn't have the damned stupidest method of electing a president this side of a Monty Python skit.
