  • President Clinton’s dog was his by a car outside their home in NY. He was devastated and at that moment I saw only a man with grief. Everything is not reducible to politics.

  • Ah, Barney, I am so sad to hear that you have left the President’s side. I got such a delight to see you in your Christmas tours of the White House, here and there on the Lawn and carried in the President’s arm coming off the Chopper coming back from where ever. I got so carried away one year I even wrote you a letter telling you how much I enjoyed your Christmas antics. Good-bye, Barney, see you in Heaven.

    President and Mrs. Bush: my deepest condolences on the loss of your dear friend. As you can see your little pal made considerable inroads into the hearts of Americans. My best from Wisconsin.

  • I hate to be a cynic, but well, she would have been sworn in right? Anything she said that was proved to be false would have would have been the basis for charges in a court of law, right? The faint and hitting her head were really convenient.

    Will she have to provide a note from her Doctor? Not likely she will find one to do that – that would be lying to Congress!

  • True North – the Queen DOES feed her corgis personally!

  • It is undoubtedly illegal to impersonate the Head of State. Queen Elizabeth is the Australian and the UK Head of State. It is certainly in questionable taste to call a hospital and make a joke out of someone who is ill. The nurse was of Indian (country of) derivation and it may well be that a question of “face” is more important to them than say to morons who have no sensitivity and call hospitals pretending they are the Head of State finding it funny that someone is ill. They held the nurse up to world wide ridicule. Yet why ever should she have thought someone would find the Dutchess ailment to be funny. Hence she took the call at face value. Hyperemesis gravidarum was once a dying illness – Charlotte Bronte died in her four month of pregnancy from just this ailment. Illness is not a joke!

    The hospital has said they made no move to condemn her actions, however, it would seem that they may very well have had a great deal to say about actions that lead to the invadion of the privacy of the Duchess. In addition, let us recall please how the Duke feels about harrassement by the press over the death of his mother. Now what was to be a happy event has a very unfortunate saddness attached. All because two people lacked the sensitivity to understand that illness, hospitals and medical privacy do not summon up prank, hoax, levity etc in decent, caring human beings.

  • Clarification: Gerald should have been outraged on behalf of the country, the spouses and the families of the General Petraeus and Ms. Broadwell.

  • I have always admired and had the utmost respect for General Petraeus…until now. The affair made him vulnerable and hence the nation vulnerable to international intrigue or just garden variety politics, the latter of which we have seen play out this last week. He states today that he always believed this to be a terrorist attack – and how, frankly could one not, but he initially told lawmakers the **** and bull story about the video as did Hilliary Clinton. For all Geraldo’s bluster and histrionics, he cannot dispute that fact and the only reason for it would have been to keep his own situation quiet. That is not honorable! After decades of physical courage, he lacked moral courage. The country, spouses and the family of each participan tin the affair are the ones deserving of the Geraldo’s outrage.

  • Late in teh week before the electikon, I believe it was Drudge, but I cannot be sure, hinted that thwere would be a charge of sexual misconduct. There was no reference given so it was totally impossible to know which side of the aisle, real or slime. nothing really to go on. I took it as a threat against Mitt or Paul, or someone close in as a means of putting things over the top for O. I did not think of this. Pet had claimed the cause in Benghazi was the movie, when he could not possibly have believed that. Pet has been an American hero up until recently, a man of impeccable honor. But there is no escaping the fact that he could have called a news conference and told the entire truth before the election and let the chips fall as they would. After a lifetime of honorable behaviour, he fell short here. He can rectify it but he needs to be very careful between now and telling the whole truth to the House Intelligence Committee.

  • As soon as I heard that he had supported that video clip story as what the CIA had determined, I knew he had been co-opted by the WH. Now we know why! He should have come clean before the election and let the chips fall as they would but he thought he had bought silence I am sure. The men at the Annex in Benghazi were CIA for God’s sake. He could not possibly have NOT known what was going on, so there had to be another reason he supported that rediculous story endlessly floated by the WH and here it is. He sold his country and the men in Benghazi down the tubes for some fluff! I hoped he enjoyed himself because there is hell to pay and he will pay and pay, but of course so will the rest of the millions who wanted real change.

  • That is an entirely inapporiate comment. It is a shame it was anyone!
