Here’s my present theory on the mystery Michelle Obama video, or tapes, or whatever. I think that Hillary has it on good authority (by which I mean a snitch) that Michelle said some stupid and inflammatory things at this PUSH/Rainbow event. She’s floating the suggestion that it exists on some kind of recording to see what will shake loose. Maybe someone will come forth with the thing. Maybe someone will create one. Maybe she’ll get Obama and Company to make some ass-covering maneuver that will be tantamount to an admission, or can be spun that way.
At the very least, Hill wants the Obama campaign to pay off the debts she’s accumulated during her run. What else she wants is a matter of speculation. At this point, Hillary is probably thinking like the top NFL draft choice: the longer I hold out, the more they’re likely to offer me, just so long as I don’t pass the signing deadline.
I think Obama ought to offer to make her Viceroy of Puerto Rico.
Another reason that Hillary might be taking her own sweet time. (h/t Insty)
“I think Obama ought to offer to make her Viceroy of Puerto Rico.”
Guam might be safer for O!.
The only problem with Obama paying off her campaign debts would be that it’s illegal for him to do so.
Re: Michelle Obama. I hear this is the SECOND time in her life she’s been proud to be an American.
More O! problems:

Dan – That’s my theory-of-the-moment, too. Hasn’t worked out so great, though. I don’t think anythings going to bubble up this late in the game.
This bitch is heartier than Rasputin. O, be afraid, be very afraid.
Ambassador to Djibouti
I’d personally accept the Ambassador to the Bahamas position in a heartbeat.
Techie, you’re not in Hitlary’s crosshairs!
Or maybe, lord bless her, she’s playing hardball.
I know what I want to be true. Wanting isn’t getting.
Ambassador to Zimbabwe
– Maybe. But recording secretaries, as well as just hyper digging reporters will often times record hearings and meetings that show any sort of potential for mayhem. My guess is someone from the Trib, or one of the rags that has had field people trailing around after them both, particularly during the Rezko tribulations, is probably shopping something around because the Clintonesta’s want to remain smilingly detached. What we were discussing earlier. At best, its probably a very scratchy poor quality audio tape, not a CD.
Yellamo, do you really think that’s going to stop Hillary from finding a way to recoup her losses, even if it causes a little bending of the rules?
All good suggestions — my own would be Argentina — but not attractive enough to her. After all, when has an Ambassador become President?

nishit should love this. Regardless of whether or not this tape even exists, the perception of its potential existence is the idea that people walk away with.
– As far as helping her recoup, once the election cycle is over, whether he wins or not, O! can use his vestige campaign organization to sponser any number of fund raisers for her, as long as he doesn’t use taxpayer money. He can also help her arrange lucrative speaking tours, as long as shes not in his cabinet, or officially connected to him in any way. If she remains a sitting Senator then everything changes. Then shes allowed on her own to use fund raisers to recoup, but I’m not sure he can endorse them legally. Of course there are a lot of ways to “endorse” without doing it publicly.
Make her Ambassador to Venezuela, or Cuba, or Iceland.
Anything’s legal, as long as you don’t get caught.
“the perception of its potential existence”
Do you mean the “100% believable” aspect? The probability (appproaching 1) that MO harbors precisely the attitude that is the basis for the probably fraudulent tale?
If so, I agree – “It can’t possibly be true.” just isn’t on the typical reaction scale. Bubba &c have BHO beat to pieces in that respect. And they are going to beat him to pieces until November, regardless of what he may offer her. The Clinton ’12 campaign is underway and there won’t be any challenge by BHO in the future.
“Venezuela, or Cuba, or Iceland.”
One of these places is not like the others………..
Iceland has been and continues to be a close US ally.
Hmmm.
Hillary has nothing to lose by just parking on the side of the road. Obama is the candidate. MSM says so. He says so. Howard Dean and the DNC say so.
Not a delegate vote has been cast yet.
Hillary doesn’t want VP, she’s not interested in any cabinet slot. If a Senator from New York can’t scrape up twenty million dollars, especially after being proven right that her opponent for the 2008 nomination didn’t have what it took to beat even McCain, then there’s no god of politics.
What’s 20 million dollars, if Obama has a politically catastrophic media disclosure sometime in the next five months, whether it originates from Michelle, Rezko, or just another off-the-cuff gaffe that not even MSM can protect him from?
yankee doodle went to town…
Where’s that banjo music coming from?
thor, you tuning up out there somewhere?
– Pelosi, Reid, and Dean have all “ordered” the supers to decide and announce by the end of the week. The Dems are desperate to bury her before she can do any more damage.
– Reports say they are meeting as soon as tonight “to disscuss common grounds, and a clear way forward for the party”.
– Doesn’t sound to me like shes conciliatory in the slightest about things.
– Obama’s camp jumped to agree with the McCain proposal to set all the debates in Town-hall form. Now, in a second press release they are edging back from that early statement, and verbally tap dancing. Apparently his people continue the pattern of kneejerk responses, followed by 2nd thoughts so typical of inexperience.
Pelosi, Reid, and Dean have all “ordered†the supers to decide and announce by the end of the week. The Dems are desperate to bury her before she can do any more damage.
Nobody listens to these simps!
I hear Wake Island is available.
BTW, Bill would like Iceland for its…fjords, and…volcanos. Yeah thats it, that’s the ticket!
– Supers do not have to do anything, although they can be replaced for a host of reasons. Generally, in any normal primary, you don’t tend to get into arguments with your delegates. But then again, you don’t normally have a party split right down the middle either. Their “votes” aren’t even official votes until the convention, and can change at any time, even in multiple ballots at the convention itself. In that sense, anyone can still be the nominee, so things are anything but settled even now. It all depends on Billery. The situation must be kickin’ Obanas ass.
Ambassador to Niger? It’s a prestigious post no?
Top, gotta denounce you. Nothing personal.
Even though I got away CLEAN with “niggling” yesterday.
Damn.
She needs a Kenmore Model 90000K William Jeffeson Special Edition Freezer!
She’s actually a T-101, Model FP.

“You couldn’t stop them. The army couldn’t stop them.
So I had to.”
Hillary Clinton is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.
Ambassador to Okinawa, that should be a fun gig with us sending the troops there and all.
Pelosi, Reid, and Dean have all “ordered†the supers to decide and announce by the end of the week.
Which if those three agree on it pretty much guarantees it is a bad idea.

BuddyPC, is your last name Mcauliffe?
Rezko convicted so soon? I had forgotten how quick these trials can be when the prosecutor actually has a case. Anybody heard anything from Ronnie Earl lately?
B Moe – the only drawn-out trials I saw at the Wayne County Circuit Court, Criminal Division, was for a serial rapist of school-girls who represented himself. (He had stand-by counsel – good stand-by counsel).
To let you know how nuts he was, his family hired Cornelius Pitts as his lawyer, and he fired Mr. Pitts because he thought he was working for the prosecutors’ office. If you know anything of Detroit, Mr. Pitts was definitely not a prosecutor’s punching bag!

That’s what we call a Hickroll.
Oh, my God.
BuddyPC, let me make a few phone calls. I think I can get you into Death Row down in Huntsville (TX). You definitely need to raise the general quality of your association.

Yeah, he’s retiring.
Yeah but even without some tape of Michelle Obama talking about white people, Hillary has half of the party supporting her vehemently. This was a squeaker of a primary. That alone is the most powerful bargaining chip. Unless she plays nice, bras will burn and titties will roll in Denver. I am thinking that Obama would be doing the same thing with his brigade of horn rimmed hipsters, Oprahbots, and wild-eyed devotees if the tables had been turned.
I think this “Why won’t she just go away” shit is partially naive on the part of the young folks who don’t know how things work; stupidity on the part of people who do know how things work but seem to think she has no right to play hardball like any other near-nominee would; and general mean spirited ness by people who just hate her fucking guts.
Though some of her supporters are really assholey fucking lunatics, I still like her (the Obamatards bug the hell out of me too). She is badass. She is honoring the people who worked their asses off to get her nominated and the people who came out and voted for her and have been supporting her and dreaming of putting her in the whitehouse. To just concede and walk away would be kind of a slap in the face to those people.
Lisa is spot on. Plus, not one super delegate has had the opportunity to cast their vote yet. The clowns are not all out of Baracky’s clown car yet. Rezko convicted. Pflegler suspended. TUCC and granny under the bus. Wright is my mentor, crazy, I do not know him, etc … and that is just the goofball crap. On the issues, if possible, he is even worse. Immediate surrender. National healthcare. Take my pie. Raise taxes. Punitively penalize success. Talk to, then not talk to, then get all nuancy about your 5 prior positions and still lie and contend your position has never changed.
The clowns are not all out of Baracky’s clown car yet.
Oh please let the remainder of circus performers be just a couple of little midgets (I denounce myself for using midget. I think that it might not be PC, but I can’t keep track of all of my race and gender language and the fucking midget language too).
Latest scoop is that the junior senator from New York is going to:
“ “… express support for Obama’s candidacy and congratulate him for gathering the necessary delegates to be the party’s nominee.”
I’m slow. Can anybody point to where she states she intends to concede the race? Anywhere in the linked article?
Hickroll, indeed. That was a beautiful link, SarahW.
heh, and JD takes off for his happy place. good thoughts in…. bad thoughts out… breathe deeply….

Thank you, dear, that little musical interlude made my morning!
Goddam midgets and clowns pop up in the most random places. Scary sons and daughters of bitches, they are.
Maggie – I must now go back to my happy place. Thanks for the advise.
Anyone else find this headline rather disturbing ? “Gina Gershon denies affair with Clinton”.
just a couple of little midgetsNope, thor and nishi have already tumbled out.
