I think that Obama should call on Mitch McConnell to fucking, apologize to Hillary, right now.
As for Obama's Democratic rival, McConnell said U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York seems to be " teetering on the brink."

"I hear she hasn't been this worried since a new Hooters opened" near her home with former President Bill Clinton, McConnell said, prompting laughs from the 400 Northern Kentucky Republicans.



What person running for President would let this slip by and not call McConnell on this.

31. gee, how about some proof that bill is playing around right now? I keep seeing this crap
but never one shred of proof that it is happening. and, given the reichwing's obession with the clenis, if there WERE anything going on, we would certainly be hearing about it.

And Hillary does not have enough self-respect to throw a cheating husband to the curb.

50. You have no idea what she feels about Bill, or a cheating husband unless
you have been through it. When we lose compassion for others , no matter , dem or republican, we have nothing left. I think that appears to be you Hep.

must be "degrading". Give it up! It's the height of hypocrisy to complain about lack of respect, when you are a Hillary supporter.

5. Can we let these ridiculous "X should condemn random person Y's statement" die?
Edited on Mon Apr-14-08 05:00 PM by MercutioATC
Of course Obama shouldn't be responsible for condemning that, any more than Clinton should be expected to condemn Davis' "boy" comment.

If a candidate or, to a lesser degree, a member of a campaign says something offensive, that candidate should be expected to make a comment.

Otherwise, it's all just silly.

the Supreme Court not intervened, he would have won. Had Al Gore not have run away from Bill Clinton he would have won. But all of that impugns the most important thing...HE FUCKING DID WIN.

20. It doesn't matter who the dem nominee is going to be
He/She will be trashed unmercifully 24/7 with lies, slander, ugly commercials, fear mongering and attempts at digging up scandal true or not. The republican party ain't worth a fuck at governing but they are experts at spewing garbage against any and all opponents. Spewing garbage is just one of many wonderful conservative values.

12. Hillary should call on McConnell to apologize.
Why is it Obama's responsibility? Frankly, I doubt Hillary would do the same for him, since all she seems to do is side with whoever is against him, like McCain.

15. HOOTERS has a nice menu and very good service
Its a fun place to have lunch or dinner, TV's tuned into sporting events all over the restaurant and my wife often goes with me. McConnell is just another fucking pervert with conservative values and a piss poor excuse for a sense of humor.

40. Ive never been
My other keeps saying we should go, that the wings are great. But the local one closed a few years after it opened, before I had a chance to give it a try. Could be that opening a Hooters across the street from a strip club wasn't a good idea.

42. I think they get a bad rap
(from perverts like McConnell.) There is a very good one on Decatur Street in New Orleans just inside the French Quarter. The food is very good, reasonably priced, ambience is great, lots of sports TV's (with the volume at a reasonable level) and the wait staff is obviously trained to provide good service. Yes, they have skimpy outfits but nothing obscene. And I must concur, there wings are great and they have a great Breast Wing Sandwich which has a nice spicy zip to it.

I have to admit, I've never cared for wings myself. The only reccomendations I got for the place were for the wings. Thats really why I never bothered to go in.

21. If anyone should do that it is McCain, a fellow Republican. I don't see how Obama has any
responsibility to do that. No one can suggest that he and McConnell have anything in common, other than both being Senators. Actually I am not sure anyone needs to apologize. It was pretty funny and the reason it was funny is the behavior of Bill Clinton. Maybe Bill Clinton should apologize.

29. Oh, No! What if Chelsea Reads That Somewhere?
Please, please leave the candidate's children alone ... they shouldn't have to know about their parent's shortcomings.

And, poor humor is no excuse.

Of course, Obama should be calling for everyone to be apologizing for all the jokes Americans have made at Bill Clinton's expense over the past ten years -- you know, for Chelsea's sake at least.

Oh, poor Chelsea, what must she be thinking?

No wonder old Hill is slugging down the whiskey -- knowing the kind of jokes Republicans are telling about her and Bill.

The tragedy of it all.

apologize (it's pretty sad when we have to rely on candidates for office to call for such apologies; it'd be nice if people would be sufficiently to apologize on their own, or better yet, not to make such comments in the first place)
