Czarina Issues An Utterance
Czarina, Madame Hillary The Rodham "My Documents Are Invisible" Clinton, has just been elevated to a new low. She should be proud to associate herself with Cindy "I'm In A Jihad" Sheehan. Allah hu Chavez!
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- She says she is the Democrat best equipped to fight terrorists, but White House hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton told New Hampshire voters Thursday that another attack on the United States would likely help Republican candidates at the polls.
Sen. Hillary Clinton said the Republicans would benefit politically if a terrorist attack occurred before the '08 vote.
Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Connecticut, who is also competing for the Democratic nomination, issued a statement Friday afternoon calling Clinton's remark "tasteless."
"Frankly, I find it tasteless to discuss political implications when talking about a potential terrorist attack on the United States," he said."It's a horrible prospect to ask yourself, 'What if? What if?' " Clinton, a New York Democrat, told a house party in Concord, according to the New York Post and The Associated Press and confirmed by her campaign.
"But, if certain things happen between now and the election, particularly with respect to terrorism, that will automatically give the Republicans an advantage again, no matter how badly they have mishandled it, no matter how much more dangerous they have made the world."
Clinton added that if such a scenario occurred, she is the best Democratic presidential candidate "to deal with that."
Clinton was in the crucial early voting state Thursday to unveil her health care plan.
A Clinton spokesman, Isaac Baker, told CNN "Sen. Clinton was making clear that she has the strength and experience to keep the country safe."
So, if she is "the best to handle that situation", as she has so claimed, how can she justify that rhetoric having issued such an ill-spoken statement as a terrorist attack would help the GOP? As a matter of fact, her statement is well beyond "ill-spoken". It could very well be the singularly most ignorant statement she has ever made in her life, let alone her political campaign.
And she dares whine about the GOP politicizing the GWOT? Is she daft? Don't answer that. I already know the answer.
