Hillary's response to the Rezko photo reminds me of BushCo's response to the Abramoff pics

[whatchamacallit]

I'm just sayin...

[gaiilonfong]

1. Hit the nail on the head

BRAVO

[MethuenProgressive]

19. What does she have to say about this damning photo??

[Occam Bandage]

24. Walking past in a hallway is not the same as posing together for the cameras.

[grantcart]

2. She has no idea who Norma Hsu is either

Mark Rich is he the charachter in that FX series about gypsies?

[robbedvoter]

5. NYT apologized for Hsu fabrication. Rich - pathetic - failed attempf of W to

raise his approval #s by bashing Clinton

[sandnsea]

20. Hsu got three years

What do you mean... fabrication???

[ccpup]

7. Barack knows who Norman Hsu is.

Just ask his top fundraiser Mark Gorenberg who still sits on his national campaign finance committee!

...

Before becoming a major bundler for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign, disgraced Democratic donor Norman Hsu helped host a 2005 California event for Barack Obama's political action committee and introduced the senator from Illinois to one of the biggest fundraisers for his presidential bid.

Federal Election Commission records show that Hsu gave $5,000 to Obama's Hopefund PAC in connection with the fundraiser and that people publicly identified with Hsu and his companies gave an additional $19,500 to the PAC in 2005 and 2006.


Mark Gorenberg, who now sits on Obama's national finance committee and is one of his biggest fundraisers, said Hsu organized an early 2005 event for the Hopefund and invited him to help raise money.

"He introduced me to Barack Obama," Gorenberg said of Hsu. "He was working on an event for Barack's PAC, and he asked me to help, and I did. Barack came up to San Francisco, and introduced him to a bunch of people."

3. More like Bush's answer re: Ken Lay: he contributed to Ann Richards

because Abramoff actually was tied to Bush. As was Ken Lay.

[truebrit71]

4. Yup. What about the Murdoch photos..or the Murdoch fund-raiser....why is THAT kosher...

...???

Double standard much?

:eyes:

[durrrty libby]

6. And your post reminds me of what I cleaned off my shoe on my morning jog this am

I'm just sayin...

[indimuse]

11. lol!!

durty libby does it again..love ya!

[desi]

18. Too funny!

A lot funnier than Eli/Jessica Simpson. The mass invasion of Kiddies for Obama is a hoot yes?

[durrrty libby]

21. Did the Eli/ Jessica possibility give you nightmares?

:P

Sadly, I don't think the invasion is "kiddies"

[desi]

23. Nightmares?

Before this is all over I'll be bed-ridden. :spank: Some of the stuff they've brought with them is rather infantile. I don't even remember how many of their locked threads I've participated in. They are vicious lol

[JackORoses]

26. what, did you step in some durrrty libby??

[durrrty libby]

27. No some jack shit, as in ....You know

[joshcryer]

8. Bush said he didn't have a 17 year relationship with Abramoff like someone else did?

[Tellurian]

17. That is what so funny about Obama supporters..

They see similarities where their are none. In fact, Bush's relationship with Abramoff is exactly like Obama and Rezko.. Theres no comparison to Hillary standing taking a picture with a stranger.

[wndycty]

9. And by the guilt by association standards Hillary uses, google Hillary Clinton/Peter Paul

Of course we sill see fact checker links as responses but its a simple yes no question did Peter Paul host a Clinton fund raiser?

[jefferson_dem]

10. I knew Hillary's lame deflection sounded familiar.

...

"The president has taken tens of thousands of pictures. This does not mean he has a personal relationship with each individual that is in those pictures."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/12/AR2006021201081.html

[wndycty]

12. Like the time Peter Paul hosted a fund raiser for Hillary

Google it.

[Tarc]

13. So one candidate poses for pictures with the man

while the other engages in corrupt business transactions with the man.

Hmm, where's that apples % oranges pic, must be around here somewhere...

[dkf]

14. These types of pictures usually means he contributed to them.

[Tarc]

15. His political contributions range from Obama to Clinton

to Kerry to Gore to Bush.

16. How ironic

CNN just did a segment on the Rezko/Obama 17 yr Love Affair and the reporter said that REZKO has been described as Chicago's Abramoff. :nuke:

[whatchamacallit]

29. I'm not sure about the irony

but I admit it's disturbing to have something I posted echoed by the MSM. No badge of honor there. Honestly, I almost pulled this post right after I made it because, although I was making an observation, I knew it was a bit flame-baitesque. My guilt didn't last long once the 'you and your post are dog shit' comments started rolling in.

[Tom Rinaldo]

22. Have you ever had a photo taken with a politician? Did they "vet" you first?

I'm just sayin also.

We knew about the Bush Administration's very close connections with Abramoff before any photos of Bush with Abramoff were relevent. Obama does have a long relationship of some kind with Rezko. We know that too. Show me any evidence that Hillary has one with him also and then a photo of her with him might begin to become relevent.

[Occam Bandage]

25. So our solution to ridiculous guilt-by-association is more ridiculous guilt-by-association.

We have learned well, I see.

[DrFunkenstein]

28. How Does She Respond to These Pictures?

"We like your president very much. We would like to see him reelect (sic). I will give you 300,000 U.S. dollars. You can give it to the president and the Democrat Party." - Gen. Ji Shengde, then the head of Chinese military intelligence.
