i'd never believe it. he's been a beacon of success in the campaign, and showed only the utmost of scruples.

It is Maggie Williams. Not Penn.

FTFY ;)

FTFA Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign manager, Maggie Williams, earned about $200,000 on the board of a Long Island subprime lender that charged prepayment penalties - a practice that Clinton, a critic of the subprime industry, now seeks to eliminate.

If she'd have just picked Optimus Prime, this whole primary business would be done by now.

Obviously from the "do as I say, not as I do" school of politics.

while I disagree with the trolls, this is much like the Rev Wright. A non story that should not be allowed to distract from the real issues, such as the economy, iraq, and the rest of the actual issues. These are the distractions that Obama was talking about.

That would suck if we had a president who allowed the nation to get into debt.

I think there's a bit more validity to this. It's not like she's been a huge part of Hillary's life, she's just the one in charge of her finances, something she's been found incapable of doing (have you seen Hillary's finances?) and her record in the private sector is obviously just as bad. This is the kind of thing Hillary should be nipping in the bud with a lot of backround screening, but instead almost all her major staff is subject to similar sorts of scandals. It's like the Bush administration, let's make that guy that hates the UN their new ambassador!

It says a lot about how she runs a campaign, and how she'd run the country.

Well true but Williams just strikes me as a typical Yes Woman while Penn is actually Evil Incarnate and rates up there with Rove and Cheney on my evil meter.

Falcc: It says a lot about how she runs a campaign, and how she'd run the country.

I just wanted to highlight that.

How she has run her campaigns, and how she's actually acted for her State says a great deal about her. And it's not real good.

I'm not exactly on board with the Hate Train that she's been saddled with, but she has a fair number of financial skeletons in that closet, and ties to some folks with some even larger ones--that says a bit about who you will be doing business with, and who you run with. Not so much guilt by association, but certainly an illustration of her character.

Her record, that speaks for itself--but who she surrounds herself with, and their tactics and methods, that says often even more.

Next thing you know, she'll hook up with a racist pastor.

Doug Coe and his Christian Mafia aka The Fellowship (new window) are or should be more worrisome to the American electorate than Reverend Wright and his social justice gospel.

John's McLames flip flop from calling the divisive faux Christians on the religious right "agents of intolerance" to calling them for campaign donations and decrying his earlier straight talk on them and their anti-American agenda is also worrisome.

But by all means continue to plink, plink, plink yer one note over and over again until Novemeber.

It'll just make it much clearer that the attempted e-lynching of Obama by proxy is a media manufactured event mostly bought into by racists and morons.

In case anyone hadn't figured that out yet.

"I would eliminate the prepayment penalties that lead to such high rates of default,"

Yeah good luck with that one. The lenders will just use some other way of making money or jack up their rates. I suppose that gives them something to run on in 2010: "I'm banning the raising of interest rates!!1!"

 
thisispete [TotalFark] 2008-03-31 02:43:25 AM  
I remember seeing a clip from early in the campaign - Penn and his counterparts from the Edwards and Obama campaigns were discussing the race. The Obama guy and Edwards guy were sticking to the issues and Penn brings up Obama's youthful drug use from out of nowhere. To his credit, the Edwards guy called him on it. I think that was the point that I started disliking Hillary. It seems she makes poor choices on who advises her.

Hillary and the idiots she picks to manage things for her, couldn't profitably run a brothel in a gold rush.

"Ready on Day One" is one farking funny slogan.
