My new Weekly Check: Is it Hillary Clinton or Hillary Rodham Clinton?

[MadBadger]

Which is it today?

[Nailzberg]

1. Whatever you call her? That would be the wrong one.

[K Gardner]

2. I dunno, but I'm concerned that she may challenge

your candidate for some of those 'post titles' after reading that Monitor article. Competition may get stiff here !

[ColbertWatcher]

3. Correct, full name...

[Occam Bandage]

4. The important issues of the day.

[MadBadger]

8. I'm a Jew and its Christmas...

That means Movies, Chinese food, and extreme sarcasm.

[Lucinda]

5. Try getting used to Madame President...its much simpler

[MadBadger]

6. But why cant she choose a name?

Is it really that hard?

[Occam Bandage]

7. Because she hates you. You, personally.

[MadBadger]

10. I know, wtf is up with that?

[Lucinda]

9. She did. Its "Hillary" running for president.

Is it really that hard to grasp?

[MadBadger]

11. So now there are three choices?

You know you cant have it one way and have it the other way too. So you definetly cant have it one way, and another way and another way. Thats just not fair.

[Lucinda]

12. It's a woman perogative. We're funny that way.

We change our hairdo's a lot too.

[Nailzberg]

13. And many of you have too many shoes. nt

[Lucinda]

16. I fail my gender miserably on that one. I DESPISE shoes.

They almost threw me out of the "girls club" over it.
I have three pair. And I only wear two of those regularly. And one of THOSE gets replaced with the exact same shoe style when they wear out.

[Occam Bandage]

15. Well, you can't have it one way and have it the other way too.

And you can't have it the other way and then a different way. However, when you combine them, then that's not the question any more. Suddenly, we need to know if you can have it the one way or a different way, or possibly the other way, or possibly the other way around. We're not looking for a way to have it both ways here, but she may have stumbled upon a way out.

[flordehinojos]

14. O:-)

:applause:

[annie1]

17. just Hillary. she's a rockstar.

[MadBadger]

18. But she signed her Christmas email, "Hillary Rodham Clinton," and her ads say I'm Hillary Clinton.

[annie1]

19. seems fair. everyone camaigns with 2 names. and her letters are...

supposed to be more personal?

[MadBadger]

21. She switches between HRC and HC a lot.

Some think its when she needs Bill and when she needs to be independent from Bill.

[annie1]

22. whatever works. i think it's cool she keeps rodham around...

she does change it a lot, but often takes and has taken rodham out when it offends sexist people's "sensibilities", rather than the idea of needing bill. Just like when used to take it out when bill ran for gov. b/c people are so scared of her keeping her own name for some reason. So i think it's that rather, than the idea of needing it for to be closer to Bill.

[Beacool]

20. Exactly, say "Hillary" almost anywhere in the world and people will know who you mean.

She has transcended politics to become a one name mega celebrity like Cher, Prince, Madonna, etc.

[earthlover]

31. But mega celebrities who endorse Obama are Baaaaad!!!!!

[durrrty libby]

23. Let's just go with Madam President

[Perry Logan]

24. Chill, Hussein. What's in a name?

[oasis]

27. "Hussien"!!. Obama's name has really brought about some heavy duty hand wringing.

I wonder why any supporter of his would lose sleep over another candidate's name.

[ClarkUSA]

30. True, Hillbot. I always liked Slick Willy myself.

:-)

[earthlover]

33. An illustration that it is Hillary Supporters who keep inflaming anti-Muslim prejudice

I guess they are oblivious that when they mock Obama's middle name they also are also demeaning Muslims.

The Democratic Party should value diversity and we should leave to others to say insensitive things that alienate us from other members of our community.

It shows how eager Hillary folk are to attack Obama--Obama is not Muslim anyhow! But he has that funny sounding middle name that can inflame people! O Boy! Let's inflame! O goody! Merry Xmas

[oasis]

37. Hussein: "funny sounding middle name" . No way. I think it's more "scary" to folk.

:scared:

[earthlover]

41. Fear-Mongering is a Democratic virtue? I don't think so!

[TwilightZone]

25. Her Senate website has always said HRC.

http://clinton.senate.gov/

Why are you so fixated on her name? Is it really that important to you? Seems like a silly thing to be obsessed with.

This same question gets brought up - and answered - every few days.

[bluewisdom]

26. barack hussein obama..or

barack cocaine hussein obama? dumb ass you server obama badly!

[Skidmore]

28. Did JimRob let you out of the asylum for the holiday?

[earthlover]

35. May the Christmas spirit and peace be with you....

Maybe you can grow beyond name calling in the upcoming year

[Nailzberg]

36. Your new years resolution should be trying to be more constructive

Otherwise I suspect we won't be seeing much of you in 2008.

Merry Christmas.

[ClarkUSA]

29. Whichever Mark Penn's focus group says is better...

:eyes:

[ElizabethDC]

32. Whichever. It does't really matter.

I also have two last names, and sometimes I use both, while sometimes I use only one of them. It's not something to get worked up about.

[MaineDem]

34. It doesn't matter

This is just a sexist issue.

I'm so sorry we even have to address something like this.

I'm still torn that I didn't keep my birth name when I got married. I use both forms now on different occasions. It doesn't freaking matter!!!

[Moochy]

38. Ask William Jefferson Clinton

or maybe Harcourt Fenton Mudd?

[Beacool]

39. Why don't you ask your candidate?

Is it Barack Hussein Obama or is it plain Barack Obama?

Is this just a silly post to attack an opponent or is this just a silly post to attack an opponent?

[BenDavid]

40. paraphrase In The Heat of The Night-They call me Mrs Clinton

[Uben]

42. How much is your check for?

If it's less than $100, it's just Hillary Clinton. If it is greater than $100, its Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Etiquette you know!
