Campaign Ad Compares Pelosi To Rubber Chicken
Joe Vazquez SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) \ A new campaign ad running on several Bay Area television stations compare Speaker Nancy Pelosi to a rubber chicken. The ads are for Shirley Golub, a San Francisco real estate agent running against Pelosi in the June primary election.
Golub said Pelosi has been too timid on President Bush, and should lead an impeachment charge. She said an organization called "Act Blue" is funding the ad campaign. As of Wednesday night, Speaker Pelosi has not seen the ad.
It's fun to think about, but there are so many obstacles, and Ted Kennedy isn't buying, he said on Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital With Al Hunt," which airs this weekend.
"I don't think it's possible," he told Hunt of the joint ticket, continuing that:
Obama should choose a running mate who "is in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people," Kennedy said. "If we had real leadership \ as we do with Barack Obama \ in the No. 2 spot as well, it'd be enormously helpful."
Ouch.
LOL. :hehe:
Hillary shouldn't be on the ticket.... Or in the cabinet, either.

I was watching the Newshour on PBS the other day and she was at some political rally stumping for her campaign and there were all these people with Hillary signs but in the back you could see three people holding up Obama signs...it was mad funny.
Elizabeth Halverson is a judge. But the way courthouse staffers see it, she expects to be treated like a queen.
Her former bailiff, for example, says Halverson made him feel like a "houseboy." He says the judge -- who is obese and uses a motorized scooter to get around -- made him put her shoes on her feet, massage her back, cover her with a blanket for naps, rub her "ham hocks," and make sure her oxygen tank was filled. He says she asked him, "Do you want to worship me from near or afar?"
Halverson also surrounded herself with her own hired guards, saying she did not trust the courthouse security force to protect her. Another time, she allegedly had her husband sworn Another time, she allegedly had her husband sworn in so that she could ask him under oath whether he had completed chores at home....
The public relations executive that the McCain campaign tapped to run the Republican National Convention this summer resigned, following a report that his firm had lobbied for the military junta that runs Myanmar.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton quickly apologized Friday after citing the June 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy as a reason to remain in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination despite increasingly long odds.

She is f*ckin' idiot! :shakehead: Ted Kennedy just got diagnosed with brain cancer and she reminds the world that his youngest brother got shot...MOREOVER, the fact that Barack Obama is ALSO a Senator running for President, a prominent African-American Senator at that....as if he could get shot and she could win the nomination....she is fuggin' idiot...it doesn't help that Bobby Kennedy was a prominent civil rights leader in '68....
She is an embarrassment to herself....someone tell her to sit down and shut up already.
"Reacting to Clinton's comments today, New York City Councilmember Charles Barron had this to say: gHillary Clinton must have lost her mind. For her to even make the implication about an Obama assassination. That is insane for her to say that. There are enough crazy people out there who would want to so something like thatcand for her to encourage it? Someone should make a citizenfs arrest of her for conspiracy.h
We wholeheartedly agree with Barron's sentiment and we suggest Senator Clinton should be held responsible by all decent Americans if any harm comes to Senator Obama. We believe that if this woman has a shred of dignity and self respect –if not for her, for the sake of her daughter Chelsea—she should apologize to the American people, withdraw from the race and join a monastery."

Good.
She deserves to get raked over the coals for this.... To say that she's unbelievably stupid for making such a remark would be an understatement... :shakehead:

She is a dork for the ages....as if she even had a reserve of good will stored up....disgraceful, especially for somone purportedly intelligent and politically astute enough to be a seasoned politician.

I think she just buried herself with that remark: Damage control isn't gonna help her this time.
A Tuesday fundraiser headlined by President Bush for U.S. Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign is being moved out of the Phoenix Convention Center.
Sources familiar with the situation said the Bush-McCain event was not selling enough tickets to fill the Convention Center space, and that there were concerns about more anti-war protesters showing up outside the venue than attending the fundraiser inside.
McCain wants Bush's fundraising prowess without, you know, having Bush (literally) in the picture. Too bad even Bush can't fill the seats anymore. Being the most unpopular president in American history must prove a real damper on such efforts.
Hillaryfs Bad Day
by Aaron Bruns
The steadily deteriorating mood on the Clinton campaign took a steeper dip than usual today in the wake of the candidatefs reference to the assassination of Bobby Kennedy.
Her on camera response was flat, and at her second event she seemed to carry the weight of the press response to her remarks – and of the long, hard slog that the campaign has become.
Reporters mobbed the lone Clinton spokesman sent back to deal with the fallout. His incredulous, frustrated response has become an increasingly common one among Clinton press staffers as their candidatefs chances wane; there are no more positive stories to respond to, merely negative ones to knock down – as well as the omnipresent question: when will she quit?
After a laborious second rally in Brookings, where she was confronted on her brotherfs arrest and her husbandfs pardon scandal and seemed beaten down at times, one reporter played the song Youfve Had a Bad Day from American Idol on his laptop as Clinton staffers boarded the press bus.
And on the press plane from South Dakota to New York, a gaggle of reporters dished on the state of the campaign over rounds of beers, laughing and joking loudly about what they judged to be an awful response to her gassassinationh remarks at an editorial board meeting in South Dakota – as the Senator herself sat just a dozen rows ahead.
One friendly Clinton staffer came back to join what looked like a fun conversation, but turned back as the reporters kept up their Clinton bashing. Another walked back to use the bathroom, crossing through the gaggle as some reporters ridiculed the Senator for one thing after another. Neither party spoke to the other.
The eroding relationship between the press and the campaign isnft malicious; itfs more that the traveling press doesnft feel the need to disguise disdain or second guessing. It knows a dying beast when it sees one.
