1. WTF??? OF COURSE IT'S POLITICAL? WHAT DOES HE THINK HE IS?

BTW - It's AR for Arkansas, not AK - that's Alaska

[wryter2000]

2. Tough

The obstacle to real health care reform is pure politics (Obama's Waterloo).

Hey, Bill C., if it weren't for Olbermann's political message, that clinic wouldn't be happening at all.

7. i remember weeping over Bill's speeches politicizing health care -- was a true believer

that he was the one who would change things before one more person died... millions of bodies later, this sort of rebuke is revolting.

16. +1

3. Bill Clinton can go inhale. n/t

[wryter2000]

14. LOL

Good one. :rofl:

[nashville_brook]

4. if 45,000 Americans dying every year isn't grounds for political debate, i don't know what is.

[misanthrope]

5. Bill Clinton can go to hell...

...He and those of his ilk are firmly part of the problem. He and his sell-out brethren played a large role in putting our nation in the toilet bowl we now circle.

Doesn't he have some jobs to send to the Third World or something?

6. HipChick is not actually a bird

Look it up.

[JuniperLea]

8. Fuck you Bill...

It was already political... go NAFTA yourself... or repeal some regulations... your hands are already bloodied in this fucking mess.

I'll admit to having a love hate relationship with that fuckwad. Jeez.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Hey Bill here is a clue

of course it is political. The fact that we need to do this as a nation IS FUCKING POLITICAL and we would not have to if you people in DC were NOT FUCKING TONE DEAF.

[firedupdem]

10. I don't get his thinking on this.... n/t

[bluestateguy]

11. because he has such a better record at getting health care bills passed

:eyes:

[whathehell]

12. He's a dick.....I had the chance to see him in Chicago, recently

...For a fee, of course...Glad I passed on it.

13. Bill Clinton: Still not getting it.

You'd think by now he's get the way things are played these days. Keith did EXACTLY what should be being done every single day. But Bill is still subscribing to the notion that you don't want to sine too bright a light on the reich wing and their wickedness.

Fool. As if that oblivious bit of him hasn't caused us enough grief! Go fornicate somwhere will ya Bill? Let the smart warriors take a whack at it.

15. Keith should invite him on to "debate" it (and why he didn't think of it first)

:evilgrin:

[Major Hogwash]

17. All because Olbermann actually helped someone get healthcare!!

Makes no sense to me.

Did you see how many people showed up for a free checkup at the last free clinic in Ne Orleans?

Was that a political stunt?
Was that a photo op?
Was that faked for some news media to talk about?

[Sebastian Doyle]

18. Bill Clinton loves his native Arkansas so much that he moved to New York

after leaving the White House.


You think I'd move back to Little Rock?
Are you shittin' me??

[stray cat]

19. Arkansas = AR; Alaska =AK; Arizona = AZ

[Blue_In_AK]

20. Thanks

As an AKan, I was going to point that out.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

21. Bill Clinton claming that uninsured people going to a free clinic

is political? This was never about Blanche Lincoln it was about getting people to see a doctor. Fuck him.

[Le Taz Hot]

22. The REALLY funny thing is that,

until HE mentioned it, it really wasn't about Lincoln. It is now.

[TwilightGardener]

23. Right, because Bill Clinton isn't 100% a political animal himself...

puh-leeze. Maybe The Dawg isn't getting enough spotlight lately, has to pull a stunt.

[ClarkUSA]

24. God forbid Republicans get offended. Once a DLC chairman, always a DLC chairman. nt
