Hillary Vows to Fight on for Edwards' Endorsement

Just moments after former presidential candidate John Edwards endorsed Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) for president, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) vowed to "continue the fight" for Edwards' endorsement.

"My friends, I will fight for the endorsement of John Edwards, even if it takes all summer," she told supporters in Louisville, Kentucky. "I have not begun to fight for this endorsement!"

The New York senator appeared to brush off Mr. Edwards' endorsement of Sen. Obama, saying, "I don't know what that has to do with anything."

While Sen. Clinton acknowledged that Sen. Edwards had made a joint appearance with Sen. Obama in which he endorsed the Illinois senator, she said, "If you think that's going to make me give up trying to get John Edwards' endorsement, you've got another thing coming."

She said that she was also "unconcerned" that Sen. Edwards had recently gotten a new phone number and not shared it with her.

"Anyone who believes that I'm going to be deterred by an obstacle like that doesn't know what I'm made of," she said. "Mark my words, I am going to get that endorsement."

Sen. Clinton's aides refused to comment on her quest for Edwards' endorsement, saying that they were too busy hiding copies of this week's Time magazine from her.

The Clinton Party is ENTITLED to John Edwards' support!!!! And furthermore, anyone who says that John Edwards will not support the Clinton Party, does not support race-baiting or gender pandering!

[bentenrai]

Isn't that called stalking?

This wouldn't surprise me.

Oh, the arrogance!!!

Please, stop that. I had a perfectly poured, perfectly aged, single malt with a single cube heading toward my lips. Spilling it, from ROFL, is a sin. Besides, I am sure that some Hillaryans will take it seriously, making it all the more wonderful.

Thank you for this. A good laugh, always welcome

Andy,

Hillary is so crazy, how do you even manage to write satirical pieces about her? She writes them herself by just getting up in the morning.

OMG, now Hillary is starting to talk like McCain.

She is delusional. She thinks she can get Edwards to change his mind like she thinks she can get supers and pledged delegates to change their mind. In what universe? If the wanted her, they would have endorsed her by now.
