Putin claims Hillary responsible for Russian unrest

Posted by: Phineas on December 9, 2011 at 12:01 pm » 3 Comments

**Posted by Phineas Okay, it’s no secret I’m not a fan of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. I think she’s as much of a Leftist as Barack Obama (if made more cautious by her drubbing in HillaryCare); she was nothing more than a moderately competent senator who carpetbagged her state; she only stayed married to [...]

 

Missed opportunities: tapping the Taliban’s lines before 9/11

Posted by: Phineas on August 8, 2011 at 1:01 pm » 1 Comment

**Posted by Phineas Here’s a bombshell from late last week that was lost in all the brouhaha over the debt agreement and S&P’s downgrade of US debt. In the last years of the Clinton administration and the early months of Bush’s, we had a golden chance to tap Afghanistan’s cell-phone networks, probably including their communications [...]

Reprehensible: Former President Bill Clinton Wednesday compared GOP efforts to limit same-day voter registration and block some convicted felons from voting to Jim Crow laws and poll taxes. In a speech to liberal youth activists Wednesday, the former president called out proposals in battleground states like Florida and Ohio that could limit the voter rolls. [...]

 

Weinergate: Question of the day, double-standards edition

Posted by: Phineas on June 10, 2011 at 3:24 pm » 5 Comments

**Posted by Phineas Writing at Pajamas Media, Rand Simberg first thinks back to how hard (1) Bill Clinton fought to stay in office after a far worse sex scandal in a far more important office, then looks at all the Democrats suddenly calling on Congressman Anthony Weiner to resign and asks a simple question: Can [...]

**Posted by Phineas Sorry for the non-posting this weekend, folks. Yesterday was a busy one, and today was spent enjoying a beautiful if windy day by the sea in the People’s Republic of Santa Monica(1). But, we do have some links of interest. Enjoy: Border Security and Terrorism: Our porous southern border (I’d call operational [...]

 

Caption This: Hillary shakes hands with Chavez

Saw this photo at Andrew Malcolm’s Top of the Ticket page: Look familiar? It should. The AP’s write-up: CARACAS, Venezuela – President Hugo Chavez and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton shook hands and chatted briefly Saturday in a rare cordial encounter amid a diplomatic dispute that has left Venezuela and the United States [...]

 

Corrupt Crony to replace Hillary at State?

Posted by: Phineas on December 27, 2010 at 5:07 pm » 3 Comments

Allahpundit brings us the rumor du jour, that outgoing New Mexico governor Bill Richardson may be on deck to replace Secretary of State Clinton: This is one of those rumors, I think, that starts hopping simply because it makes sense, not because there’s any hard evidence to support it. Although there is plenty of circumstantial [...]

 

President Cipher

Posted by: Phineas on December 11, 2010 at 12:36 pm » 9 Comments

During the day yesterday, I’d read online of the bizarre impromptu joint press conference held by President Obama and former President Clinton after a meeting they’d had about how to save Obama’s bacon best sell the tax compromise. Apparently, a few minutes into the event, the President of the United States walked out to go [...]

An interesting development, considering President Obama was campaigning for Meek just a couple of weeks ago. Politico reports (via): Bill Clinton sought to persuade Rep. Kendrick Meek to drop out of the race for Senate during a trip to Florida last week — and nearly succeeded. Meek agreed — twice — to drop out and [...]
