#1 "It’s one thing to put the blame on Bush for this whole mess, but it’s Congress who has the power to stop it."

Reminds me of the LGBT crowd that "out" gays in goverment when they don't vote in favor of thier cause. When the 'Progressive' feel margainalized they will eat their own. I say turn on the spotlight and turn up the microphone.

#2 The democrats have as hard a time controlling their fundamentalists as do the moslems.

Hillary and Schumer aren't Sheehans own. Never were.

Go, Hillary, go!!

#7 Oh, no, she didn't cut Army by a third because of progressivism, she did it just for kicks?

#8 The Hil's common ground with Sheehan, et al., is Socialism. If you like to believe that Hillary is not a Socialist, who am I to tell you otherwise.

#9 "we'll be taking from you for the common good" was a slip she'll regret, and one you can't deny, LH

#10 ..was a slip she'll regret,..

That would probably make an effective, simple, short commercial in 2008...

#11 Hillary is a socialist and a liberal.
And a power hungry narcissist to boot.
(of course that describes 50% of politicians)

#12 This is going to make life hell for Hillary. Does she cater to the most vocal, nuttiest, Cindyesque part of her support base? Or does she attempt to assure the majority of American voters she might actually be entrusted with the security of the country. Poor Hil!

#13 mmurray821 is spot on: Hillary is a socialist. We saw her true stripes with trying national health care in Willie's first term. She wants big government, she is vindictive.

In her political maneuvering for '08, she sees the Dems cratering because of the uncontrolled graveyard spiral of the LLL. They have taken over the party. So she looks at the polls and sees that the public does not buy that crap. So she positions herself more towards the center to have the public look at her in a more favorable light.

She has shown that she uses others to achieve her ends. She put up with Slick Willie because he was a vehicle for her ambitions. Hey, it's just business, nothing personal.

Sheehan got all the free press she deserves, and then some. The MSM used her and she will soon go into the media dumpster. Hillary knows that she is a loon, so Hillary will ignore her, as the Hildabeast has bigger fish to fry.

Yep, today everybody knows she's a stark raving lunatic moron, totally devoid of any hold on reality.

#16 "This is a Sister Souljah moment all set up for Hillary whenever she's ready."

When the time is right, sometime in late '07 through early/mid '08, Hillary is going to be compelled to have that Sister Souljah Moment-- not just with Mother Sheehan, but with all the moonbats: the Michael Moore-ons, the MoveOn.orcs, the Kossacks, Babs, and the drooling foamers at the New York Times as well. Unless the public mood has changed radically by then, she's simply got to do that if her campaign is to be anything other than a collosal waste of time and energy.

But something tells me she can't have that SSM quite yet; I think it would set off a feeding frenzy on the Left that would trash not only Hillary's 2008 chances but the chances for the 2006 congressional candidates as well.

It'll be interesting to see how she handles this.

#17 Handle it? Odds are good that the American Avita set the whole thing up.

#18 Hillary won't have a "Sister Souljah" momment till after she gets the nomination. She can't get the nomination w/o the support of the moonbats. She can't win the general election with them. So once she's got the nomination, it'll be time to cut them loose.

#20 This smells like a set-up, a Dick Morris-style triangulation stunt in which Hillary's poised as a moderate voice of reason attacked by the Democratic Party's lunatic fringe majority.

My prediction's that Hillary will either go hard left on economic issues as a way of sucking up to the Cindy/Mikey/Galloway groupies or else do a Sindy Souljah sometime next year. Of course, these two maneuvers aren't mutually exclusive....

#21 #11 hit the mark. Opportunistic lying piece of staggersheepie shite prepared to do whatever it takes to prove herself equal and then better than her Billy whom she loathes and facies herself far above both morally and intellectually. The pair are a good reminder why disingenous, lying, corrupt state politicians need to be cut down at the knees early, especially the somewhat charming ones. Let them flourish and your state's little ugly weed problem becomes the whole nation's burden well beyond two terms.
