Hillary Rodham Clinton on Mon day for comparing President Bush to Mad magazine's freckle-faced "What, me worry?" A Republican National Committee official said the former first lady was " part of today's angry and adrift Democrat Party," while a spokesman for one of her potential 2006 Senate rivals said she was guilty of "insultin g the president." "At a time when President Bush and most elected officials are focused on the security of our nation, Mrs Clinton seems focused on taking partisa n jabs and promoting her presidential campaign," added New York's GOP ch airman, Stephen Minarik. Clin ton's attack on the president came Sunday during a speech in Colorado. "I sometimes feel that Alfred E Neuman is in charge in Washington," Clin ton said during the inaugural Aspen Ideas Festival, organized by the Asp en Institute, a non-partisan think tank. The former first lady drew a laugh from the crowd when she described Bush 's attitude toward tough issues with Neuman's catchphrase, "What, me wor ry?" As Clinton gears up for a Senate re-election race in New York next year a nd a possible White House presidential bid in 2008, her attacks on Bush have become sharper. In her speech Sunday, she accused the president of damaging the economy b y overspending while giving tax cuts to the rich, depriving US soldier s of equipment needed to fight the war in Iraq and cutting funds for sci entific research. "Hillary Clinton's opportunistic attempt to market herself as a centrist is like a wolf dressing up in sheep's clothing," said RNC spokeswoman Tr acey Schmitt. "Such thinly veiled rhetoric doesn't change the fact she i s part of today's angry and adrift Democrat Party." Thomas Basile, a spokesman for potential Senate challenger Edward Cox, a son-in-law of the late President Nixon, said while Clinton was "busy ins ulting the president across the country, she is failing to produce the h omeland security and transportation funding" the state needs. Clinton has been accusing the Bush administration of providing inadequate funding for New York's security needs. While national polls show the former first lady to be leading the pack am ong potential 2008 Democratic presidential contenders, Clinton has said she is too wrapped up in her Senate work and re-election effort to think about that.
com STOP BY AND BUMP THE FUNDRAISER THREAD- It is in the breaking news sidebar! "While national polls show the former first lady to be leading the pack a mong potential 2008 Democratic presidential contenders, Clinton has said she is too wrapped up in her Senate work and re-election effort to thin k about that."
" And I thought that John Holmes (the legendary and dead) was in charge whe n her husband of convenience, Bill, was in the Whore House. As of yet I have not seen any account of what Hillary's state did with al l that money President Bush granted after 9/11. Wasn't it like 20 millio n dollars on two seperate occassions? Maybe she should produce an itemized list of what New York did with that money before squawking...
View Replies To: CHARLITE Whomever may have advised Hillary Clinton to make this quip? All it does is conjure, easily, how as "president " she'd deal with the leaders of other countries (as well as those withi n the US).
View Replies To: CHARLITE "I sometimes feel that Alfred E Neuman is in charge in Washington," Clin ton said What a coincidence! When the Clintons were in Washington, I thought Caligula was in charge!
View Replies To: grumple She probably thought it was SOOOOO clever. It's a known fact that Liberal s have NO sense of humor, unless it's at the expense of others.
If they were hitting back there would be big name Republicans quoted dire ctly with strong statements. It almost feels like they are gearing up to fight each other instead of H illary.
