The "I Trust Hillary" Chronicles

Joe Ward had a problem that no one should go through, though thousands do.  He had a desperately ill kid who needed a bone marrow transplant and well, watch the video...

Now, I for one am glad that Joe's son got the transplant.  I'm less delighted that the hospital "absorbed" the costs, because after all, those costs will be borne by someone else whether through higher costs for medications, higher fees for the use of surgical suites etc.  Hospitals may be "not for profit" but they are not perpetual losers either.  So, with that in mind, I started searching for other people that Hillary may (or may not) have helped and the list is amazing.

*******************************************************

Hello, my name is Susan McDougal.  I had been spending time in a Federal lockup and wanted to be home with my family so I could bake cookies.  The Warden said "Ain't gonna happen."  So I turned to Hillary Clinton.  She called back the next day and said that the prison would absorb the rest of the sentence.  Thank you Hillary, I'll trust you with all of my future legal problems.

*******************************************************

Hi there!  My name is Marc Rich.  Not too long ago, I had to leave home because of some questionable dealings with the IRS and some businesses I directed.  I wanted to return, but there was just no way.  So, I called Hillary.  She called back the next day and said that the United States Government would absorb the costs associated with me having to leave the country.  Hillary gets my vote for president and I think I'll donate some spare change to the Clinton Library while I'm at it.  For those of you that don't think you can trust Hillary, I trusted her with my freedom and she came through.

******************************************************

Good Morning America, My name is Wolf Blitzer.  Just prior to the last Democratic Debate, I was accused of planning to throw softball questions to candidate Clinton.  My feelings were very hurt by this as I feel that I am a really tough questioner.  I called Hillary's campaign to complain about the harsh treatment I was getting, and she called back the next day and told me not to worry.  CNN would absorb a lot of criticism for too large a garden and too many plants and I would be dropped from the spotlight.  Wow, am I glad I called Hillary!  Some of you out there may not trust this great lady, but I trusted her with my reputation as a tough newsman  and I'm glad I did.

******************************************************

Hello, my name is well, you really don't need to know my name, I'll just tell you that I was one of America's sexiest presidents.  Not too many years ago, I had problems with a young woman who alleged that she had inappropriate sex with me.  Well, I'm going to say this for the last time.  I did not have... Oh, sorry, wrong speech. 

I called Hillary to complain about all the criticism I was getting and she said not to worry.  She called back the next day and said that the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy would absorb all the vitriol and that my Party would hold me up as a president of peace and prosperity.  Thanks Hillary, I'll vote for you.

******************************************************

My Name is Hillary Clinton and I approve of the above messages.  America's fertilizer business will absorb all the bull shit produced by these ads.

Vinod Gupta ~ Remember The Name

I realize that the name Vinod Gupta is not exactly a household name, not one that flows easily from most folks.  But, it is a name you should remember, because in the next few months, Mr. Gupta is going to have to answer to quite a few questions from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

It seems as the founder of InfoUSA, a firm that provides data processing services, has directed his staff and his assets to support the candidacy of one Hillary Clinton.  Oh noes you say!  Oh yes says I.

Gupta's firm has been requested to "voluntarily" submit

...documents relating to related party transactions, expense reimbursement, other corporate expenditures and certain trading in the Company's securities."
My my!  I wonder what this doth portend.

According to the Washington Post (linked to above)

Two sources familiar with the company's troubles suggested that investigators would focus their attention on executives' use of company money to feather their own nests. Gupta has been a major financial supporter of the Clintons since he met the president in the mid-1990s. Gupta and his company donated $1 million to help underwrite a lavish year 2000 New Year's Eve celebration at the White House and on the Mall.

He paid the former president $200,000 to deliver a speech to InfoUSA executives in Papillion, Neb., and signed the former president to a $3.3 million consulting deal. For the past four years, both Clintons have used Gupta's corporate plane, flying to Switzerland, Hawaii, Jamaica and Mexico -- about $900,000 worth of travel, The Post reported in May.

  Can you say "Culture of Corruption" children?  Or perhaps "Decade of Greed?"

Bill to HIll: How Do I Love Thee? -- No, Really!

How do I love Hillary? Let me count the ways.
I love Hillary to the deepest corruption
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of political expediency.
I love her to the level of everyone's
Most beloved president - Moi, by hook and by crook.
I love her devotedly, as Democrats strive for stolen votes;
I love her happily, even as I chase strange tail.
I love her with a passion put to use
In my bid to make sure we increase taxes, get ourselves richer
and other nefarious causes.

I love her with a love I seemed to loose in 2000 and 2004
With my attempted stolen elections, --- I love her with the cheating
Chicanery, and crookedness of all my Democratic friends
--- and, if CNN keeps helping, I shall but love her better when we get sworn in.


With apologies to the shade of Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Hillary's REAL Problem

In Hillary's run for the Senate in 2000, she toured all over New York having "town hall" type "conversations" with the potential voters. 

In 2007, she started her presidential tryout with "Lets Have a Conversation."

In 2007, in Iowa and other places she has taken "planted" questions from the audience in her "Town Hall" meetings.

Hillary doesn't really want to tell you what she thinks.

Hillary wants to tell you what to think.  That is Hillary's real problem.
