Hillary Clinton was forced to cut her normal stump speech short when a chatty and meddlesome crowd kept her from grasping their attention. Clinton, who was addressing the Philadelphia County Democratic Party's Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, spoke for just over five minutes, despite having the press arrive almost two hours beforehand.

The crowd never settled down during her remarks. A spokesman for Clinton denied that she cut the speech short, and told reporters that Clinton was advised by her Pennsylvania team to deliver "a short speech" given the set up of the event.

According to the comments on this post I am at a loss as to why anyone would vote for any one of the media candidates: Hillary, Obama, or McCain. Well, faced with such a miserable collection, there is yet hope for those who still think that voting does make a difference. The media, by avoiding mention of Ron Paul has done him a favor. Collateral non-damage.

We are all very bored with her sleazy rhetoric, which is why most of us democrats cannot imagine dealing with her, girl that cried wolf, stories every day. She has just lied to frequently and exaggerated too often to trust anything she has to say.

In her remarks, Hillary called both Jefferson and Jackson elitist.

This brings back memories...

Lies and misleading supporters about Obama's record on choice in NH
Lies about Obama's statements re: Reagan in SC
Lies about NAFTA
Lies about Ireland
Lies about Bosnia
Lies about SCHIP
LIes about position on MI/FL
Lies about release of tax records
Lies about phony questions planted in audiences
Lies about sleep deprivation causing - she said it multiple times
Lies about Sinbad... she called him the liar
Lies about Obama being elitist
Lies about Colombia - Among Penn's clients are Countrywide Financial, nation's largest mortgage lender, Blackwater - under investigation deaths of civilians
Lies about delegates
Lies about staying off ballots
Lies about superdelegates
Lies about Texas
Lies about supporting the war
Lies about ducks (not yet proven, but wait)

Is this something new?

"Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation " one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman"s 17-year career.

Why?

'Because she was a liar,' Zeifman said in an interview last week. 'She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.'"

Finally the people of PA are getting it. The sooner they stop her from lying, the more they will see the real options before them and the challenges facing this country. Good they silenced her.

I am sure there are lists of lies just as long for Obama and McCain. They are all politicians. This is simply another sad election of voting for what you consider to be the lesser of two evils. Most of Clintons ills are on the table. Most of McCains are on the table as well. Most of Obama's are yet to be placed there and for many that is scarier than knowing just what you are voting for.

For McCain maybe. For Obama highly unlikely. That's what integrity is after all.

I didn't realize that all it takes to get her to shut up is to be "chatty"! Let's start chatting - maybe she'll leave!

OUR ONLY PROUD MOMENT

We shouted down your "typical white person" in the middle of a bag of Dorittos.

And your point is? I think you are presuming to understand someone who grew up on the wrong side of Chicago and worked very hard to get the education she has. She as a black person has known racism first hand and she has had to deal with it with generations of those before her as well as with her own children. What have you dealt with? After being put down as second class citizens for being female, we still earn less than men at the same jobs, I can only imagine the hell that comes from adding on being black. After the fighting racism and preconceived ideas Michelle has reached positions now being opened up to women and with being black that trip to those jobs had to be harder than most will ever face. I can understand being proud as the last 3-4-5 presidents have done little to make US proud. Think before you write and try to see other peoples life struggles before being flippant.
