CNN warned to be gentle

After raging at Tim Russert for daring to question her, Hillary Clinton's campaign is reportedly warning CNN's Wolf Blitzer to follow the pre-approved script.
Matt Drudge reports:
CNN's Wolf Blitzer has been warned not to focus Thursday's Dem debate on Hillary. 'This campaign is about issues, not on who we can bring down and destroy,' top Clinton insider explains. 'Blitzer should not go down to the levels of character attack and pull 'a Russert.'' Blitzer is set to moderate debate from Vegas, with questions also being posed by Suzanne Malveaux... Developing...
The irony is perfect. We learn of this gross intimidation on the very day NewsBusters' Tim Graham writes about the very subject.
What's disturbing here is that when the Bush admin engages in these types of actions (skewed questions and tough press handling), it provokes anger and resentment from the media. When Hillary Clinton does it, it provokes more adulation. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matthew-sheffield/2007/11/13/hillarys-warning-blitzer
Unfuckingbelievable
could you imagine if Nixon was doing this!!!!

Hunter Thompson in Better Than Sex (how appropriate was THAT) said that the Clintons would make us beg for Nixon. And not because they were boring. These are super slick slimeballs, the worst of the worst, and they have a complete tin ear and disrespect for anything real people think. I hated people like them in college and I still do. Total phonies. That goes for Gore, Edwards and Kerry too, but not, in my opinion, Obama. Or Richardson. Biden and Dodd are on the dick list as well. Republican phonies? Thompson and McCain.

HST (may he rest in peace) also said the following:
"Richard Nixon looks like a flaming liberal today, compared to a golem like George Bush. Indeed. Where is Richard Nixon now that we finally need him?"
"Nixon was a professional politician, and I despised everything he stood for -- but if he were running for president this year against the evil Bush-Cheney gang, I would happily vote for him."
Totally off topic but I can't resist an opportunity to share some Hunter pearls of wisdom.

What has Bush ever done that hasn't been neo-conservative? He's a born again christian who believes in pre-emptive war and getting oil at any cost, and is oppossed to gay marriage, stem cell research, abortion, welfare, and social programs. Or as HST put it:
"Bush is a natural-born loser with a filthy-rich daddy who pimped his son out to rich oil-mongers. He hates music, football and sex, in no particular order, and he is no fun at all."

A better question is what has the Democrat Party led congress done that hasn't been neo-conservative?

Now that's not true at all. Take a look at Pelosi's list when it became evident she'd be the house speaker, she clearly laid out all the wonderous things democrats would do within 24 hours of taking over congress, and also things done w/in a week.
Now just look at all the progress!
Here I'll start the list of prmosises they've come through on...
um... I may need some help with this one

The Medicare whorage. Signing all of those horrible spending bills.
You guys really have to separate the neo-con stuff from the budget stuff. Neo-con mostly refers to foreign policy. On spending he has been far too liberal. As was the Republican Congress, which was why they lost control. Why elect a Republican when he spends like a Democrat.

Why is that a better question? Why can't I attack Bush without people assuming that I have a hard-on for the democratic party? The DNC is a miserable lot of ineffectual yuppies, but I hate Bush 1 trillion times more.

It's a better question because the Dems were elected to put an end to the shit that the Bush administration has been up to.

That is incorrect. The Dems won a small majority because the Republicans had turned into Dems on spending and the electorate needed to remind them of why they were elected in the first place.
