1. Bill ripped him a new one
I only saw the very end and it was on Fox with a "gets in the face of a local reporter" leadin.

12. Clinton looked pathetic
Rude, petty, and unpresidential. The last time I saw Bill Clinton get that snarky, it involved "that woman".

The reporter took Clinton's allegation apart. He set down the facts concerning the delegate weighting, which was not what Clinton claimed it was. He also pointed out the critical point, that the Hillary camp signed off on the arrangement (and probably proposed the arrangement) when they thought they were going to receive the culinary workers endorsement. It was only after Obama won the endorsement that the Reid/Clinton/NEA axis started moving the goalposts.

5. But Clinton didn't refute anything the reporter asked him about!
The interwiewer came up with some solid facts and Bill Clinton fibbed when he said his wife's supporters and the Nevada Dem. Party didn't "understand" when they agreed to the Casino sites. Plus, he never answered the question about why the lawsuit was filed two days after the Culinary union decided to support Obama. Clinton didn't kick anybody's ass--he got his ass kicked!

9. These poor people who were elected to run the Democratic Party
didn't know what they were writing when they wrote the rules - they didn't know what they were voting on when they voted for the rules - they didn't know what they were presenting when they presented it to the DNC - they didn't know anything until the CWU endorsed Barack Obama and SOMEBODY :yoiks: told them, "This isn't good for Hillary" :wow:

Now let me get in your face and try to intimidate you - cuz you're all just stupid little people who don't 'understand' :crazy:

3. Wow--Bill Clinton gets hot under the collar!
At first, I thought he was going to let Hillary run her own campaign. What is he doing now? I think it's a very revealing interview, by the way.

10. Vote suppressing jackass
if there is a problem with the how the votes are totaled, they should sue to change that, not to remove caucus sites at the last minute.

11. Thanks for posting the video.
If it is a fact, that someone's vote carries 5X's the weight of another persons, then it needs to be addressed. I was unaware of that, and if I was a NV voter I'd be mad as hell.

13. Please, that is the new Clinton talking point.
You are going to tell me that the Clinton's and their Nevada organization did not understand the implications of these caucus sites
until two days after the Obama endorsement. That does not come close to the smell test. This is exactly why I do not want
the Clintons running our party or our country.

17. That is not true, it is a weighting of caucuses by size and how that leads to the
appointment of delegates. It is also possible that the casino sites get less impact. Let me find the link. Bill is incorrect.
