Yeah, I remember the 90's and how the media ignored Bill Clinton.

Mary Katherine is quite the ham.

-GSD

The ignored the deaths of the 500 thousand Iraqi children who died as a result of the US sanctions in the 90's.

Awww, cut the bimbo some slack! That was like, what, 8 or more years ago?
She was only 12! What would she know... :roll:

No mention of the free pass given Dumbya for the past seven plus years. Clinton isn't my most favorite but lot of passes?

Ham must have been in a coma during the Clinton smear years, and what about Dumbya and his free pass from the media?

When you get paid to talk you will say anything. Then hyper-reality happens.

Pundits are living proof that its money and class access that will get you places, not actual talent or intelligence.

Clintons allowed to kill little brown children in a far away country because they are unpeople to the people of the US, they don't exist, but if he's caught getting a blow job he gets impeached. Little wonder the US is hated the world over ain't it ?

Uhh What? .....WHAT!!? W H A T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *shakes head, looks around* This is earth right? I am in the right space time continuum right?

Born in 1980...so TWELVE when Clinton was elected.....assuming reasonable brain development, she should have been understanding qute a bit during his second term (she was age 16-20) ....to say Clinton was "getting a pass" during that time shows that this gal is not the shiniest penny in the pile. Bye bye sweetheart, go try out for American Idol....

I' so sick of listening to morons like this. She reminds me of Malkin.

Another 12 year old remembering the 90s. Must be nice.

She never stops smiling....no matter the subject

What hath Ann Coulter wrought?

Let's face it, your average Christian Fundamentalist Extremist Conservative Hillbilly
Racing Fan really does NOT CARE about legitmate government based on checks and balances
and the rule of law. It really does not interest them...not even a little.
They want to be TOLD what to think and say and believe - to them, that's freedom.
But many of them don't mind opening their mouths to reveal just what a GARBAGE DUMP
the have inside their skulls.

Ham is a pretty young girl and should be using her mouth for more uplifting endeavors than
spreading fertilizer.

Semi-boned Ham?

Starr Report: $40 million worth of scrutiny.

Ms. Ham just proves that a Ho will do anything for MONEY.

It is time that what an individual is paid should should be with their name. Make it is easy to spot the two bit Ho's.

...

when clinton was elected, ham was 12....while he left, she was 20, and probably still getting fingered in the back seat by joe cool

so you must excuse her if she has no clue as to what occured during the clinton presidency

Truth is the press didn't scrutinize the clinton administration enough, just like they haven't scrutinized the Bush administration enough, because if they had done then both Bush and Clinton would probably have been hanged by the neck until dead.

If only there had beem some kind of investigation of Bill Clinton when he was in office!

;)

She should change her first name to Lota!

Um the Repugs spent 140 hours investigating Clintons Christmas list one year! Last count that is more than 128 more hours than spent on Abu Ghraib...

Hahahaha......have you read her bio??? Too much

She graduated from the University of Georgia in 2002 with a degree in NewspaperJournalism and a minor in SEC Football Triumphalism.

She was a sports and features reporter and copy editor at a North Carolina newspaper, where she worked diligently to cover a special blend of small-town stories, from the county's largest legumes to Dale Jr.

skyrunner @ 11:

WTF is her claim to fame and why do we care what she thinks?

Yep.

Andy, he did NOT cause the death of 500thousand Iraqui children, Saddam did, HE chose to ignore the UN and HE chose to feed and clothe his palaces and his Suni bretheren, just like North Korea, where there are STILL no starving soldiers or apparatchknicks (christ i hope I spelled that correctly) there were no skinny or un cared for Baath party members...Don't blame Clinton for THAT, yes blame him for NAFTA, but credit to where credit is due those Kids died because of Saddam...

This is truly one of the worst periods in this nations history when it comes to media responsibility and intelligence.

Uh, that's just nonsense. Many on the Left have legitimate criticisms of the Clintons and their right leaning DLC triangulating politics. It's not focused on their personalities or hyped-up psuedo-scandals. Does the term NAFTA mean anything to you? It does to me, I've lost jobs to it and seen almost all the industry in my home town flee south of the border since Clinton pushed it through. To tell you the truth, I don't understand why the Right hates the Clintons so much as they have worked together with their friends in the DLC to undermine the Democratic party and render it a disfunctional, useless repository for opposition to the right wing corporate agenda. If the Clintons and the DLC have their way, the Democratic party will become nothing more than a token loyal opposition giving the people only the appearance of choice and democratic representation. That's the way the corporate financed DLC wants it. Just ask Joe Lieberman.

The fact that you use the word "triangulating" is proof that what you know, you got from the recent media. That term was not around in the 90s.

Wow, a delusional Republican on cable news...who'd a thunk it!

Does this help? From Wiki:

The term was first used by President of the United States Bill Clinton's chief political advisor Dick Morris as a way to describe his strategy for getting Clinton reelected in the 1996 presidential election. It is often referred to as "Clintonian triangulation". Morris advocated a set of policies that were different from the traditional policies of the Democratic Party. The idea Clinton used behind some of these policies was to be "more Republican than the Republicans." These policies included welfare reform, tax cuts for the middle class and balanced budgets. One of the most widely cited capstones of Clinton's triangulation strategy was when, in his 1996 State of the Union Address, Clinton declared that the "Era of Big Government is over."

Realy,did you expect someone fair and balanced?CNN,MSNBC,FAUX news are nothing but a propaganda tool to the right wing nazi machine.

Now he's done it, the media hates to be criticized especially when there are reasons to criticize. Watch them get even by phrasing and leaders and banners. The media does focus on the sniping. It's like a high school they yell fight, fight, fight! and everyone comes running to stand around the combatants no one cares why they are fighting, they just want to see blood..

ConcernedCanuck@64

Thanks for the smackdown. BTW, Clinton handed the devious Dick Morris a platform to trash the Democratic party by hiring him and taking his advice. I used to work as a reader for a pressclip agency and have read every local paper in the states of Indiana and Kentucky. These papers are by and large very right wing. Dick Morris' column appears in many of them under the headline "From the Left" claiming his credentials as a member of the Clinton administration opposite the likes of Bill O'Reilly and a gaggle of other right wing columnists. From this position, Morris can tell his lies and trash the Democratic party and make it appear divided and extreme. It's the same role Lieberman used to play from within the Democratic party and the corporate financed DLC and its automatons do still today. The Clintons may be sincere, but their political strategy is a proven loser for the Democratic party.

Another irony of Bill Clinton's pro-corporate policies was that he continued Reagan's deregulation of the corporate media which further opened the door to the kind of unbalanced, right wing biased reporting we see today. Clinton's concessions to the right gained him, the Democratic party and the public nothing while helping to create the vast right wing noise machine we are now stuck with.

OK. She looks like she's about 12 so she probably doesn't really remember the Clinton years. Or else maybe she has him confused with Dubya. He has been subject to only slightly more scrutiny than McCain's vetting committee gave Sarah Palin.

A Moment In History

From the tone of comments, I see a sad divide developing. Coming into the 2008 elections, The Republican knew they would have to somehow bring down the Democratic numbers. We are in the process of their plan and don't even know it. With around the clock media attacks and misconceptions, the Republicans have managed to split the Democratic Party.

The first thing that had to be done was to get the Democrats to trash their front runner. They did this by crating a race war and attributing it to, you guessed it, the front runner. Now, Hillary Clinton and her husband are racist, and Barack Obama is God. We have never been so divided. Craig Crawford summed it up very nicely with outrage for how one sided the media has become toward the Clintons.

After trashing the front runner, and getting Obama nominated to represent the Democrats in the general, you will see the media return to the fair and balance phase of their plan. This is when Obama will find out what the Clintons were doing is nothing like the what the Republicans will do. Does anyone remember what they did to Harold Ford last year?

The Democrats should be able to have their primaries without the interference of the MSM. As it stands, they have affected the process with division tactics that are masked as support for Obama. Wake up and smell the weeds folks.

Joseph

Ham: Uh, Daddy, I got a job at this blog thingy about politics and stuff. I remember all the stuff you said about Bill Clinton, and it sounds like what they say, so I guess I'll write it on the blog thingy and repeat it on television! Aren't you proud of me? She went to the ITT Tech school of journalism..

The attacks against Ford were truly beneath the belt and despicable. Unfortunately, he learned nothing from it and now spends his time attacking the Democratic base and undermining the party from within as head of the corporate financed DLC. BTW, the DLC also is partially financed by the Bradly Foundation which primarily funds right wing think tanks.

Why not read up on the DLC?

support for obama is REAL, get used to it.

the fact is that with Edwards (the white man) being marginalized by Diebold and the MSM, we ARE going to be left with Obama(black man) and Billary(woman). but even with that, the real issue is that DIEBOLD will be counting the votes. as long as the margin of victory is enough to avoid a recount, the repugs win either way. hill'obama are LIEbercrats. I consider that a neocon without the southern drawl.

but to give the repugs a chance, I grant that MSM will demonize on a racial or a gender basis at every opportunity. In fact, with Obama, they have race, religion, personal history, i.e., much more leverage than they would have on billary.

She was too busy stuffing her bra to let the nuns stuff her brain.

She is right... Clinton did erupt onto Monica's blue jacket.

From the article:

Others contend that the DLC's distaste for what they refer to as "economic class warfare" has allowed the language of populism to be monopolized by the right-wing. Many argue that the Democrats' abandonment of populism to the right-wing, shifting the form of that populism from the economic realm to the "culture wars", has been critical for Republican dominance of Middle America.

Very interesting. Ties in well with the book: What's the Matter with Kansas.

She is right. Clinton did have eruptions, such as the one on Monica's blue jacket.

I'd like a Ham on wry, hold the braino!

Hey, y'all ... she's all, I'm like, you know. You know what I mean? And I'm all like, Hey, Y'all--it's Britney B*tch ... leave Britney alone. You're lucky she even goes on CNN for y'all. I am so like turning green and imploding on you. LEAVE BRINTEY ALONE.

How do you know that the support for Barack Obama is real? With the Obama supporters quoting every right-wing talking point created by the right-wing media, there is no way to tell how Obama developed his appeal. This is why I want the media out of the primary process. I truly will support the nominee from the Democrats. I would like to choose the best person for the job. As it stands, that process has been tainted with a daily, 24/7 bias against one of the candidates. That amounts to millions of dollars in free campaign ads for Obama and the Republican nominee. The whole matter is unfair and without precedence.

Thank goodness for the intelligence and integrity of the left blogosphere.

How on earth DO they choose pundits? I've never been able to figure it out. They pick some of the most peculiar people imaginable, give them a job where the only qualification seem to be the ability to run your mouth, and turn them into authoritative figures. If any one of these twits cornered you at a party and started spouting their nonsense, you'd be trying like hell to get away from them. But just because they're on TV, people listen to them.

Please Joseph, point me to where you have seen an Obama supporter spout right wing talking points? You must face the reality that there is legitimate criticism of the Clinton's political strategies and policy positions from real Liberals. Despite my criticisms, if Hillary wins the nomination I will vote for her in the general elections. We can't have a Republican appointing the next Supreme Court Justice. Yes, there are trolls posing as both Clinton and Obama supporters, they aren't hard to spot. No real Democrat thinks this campaign is about race or gender. If someone brings those factors in, 10 to 0.001 they're a troll.

Point taken.

Spot on.

I predict if Dr. Feelgood wins the nomination, the GOP will dig into his family history, too. Not pretty. Father abandoning family, and where is his mother? He never really speaks of her. The GOP will drag out everything in Michelle's past, too, as well as her family.

Michelle is the one who declared in early November 2007, "Black America will wake up and get it!" Why couldn't she just say, "America will wake up and get it!" The right wing will made an ad campaign out of that, claiming Obama will divide America by race. And Obama can't say squat, because his campaign has linked Bill so strongly to Hillary. That sword cuts both ways.

OTOH, nothing much left to drag out about Ms. Clinton, is there? I'll take the devil I know to the silver-tongued devil I don't.

I'm in Oregon so the choice will be made for me by all the other states. Kind of like sloppy seconds, because I'd rather have Edwards, who's been so marginalized it's pathetic. He's the cool glass of water compared to the flames being generated by the other two candidates. My next choice is Ms. Clinton.

I'm just sorry Dodd still isn't in the race.

it's not that surpising Kurtz is chummy with dumb putz Beck.

Great idea. I'd pay top dollar to see a movie that starts out with Ann Coulter under the ice. :)

I think its hilarious the way she looks after the utterly stupid comment with that proud look of "I just made a strong, damning statement about B. Clinton"! That look says it all. She's pretty dumb.

The world needs more 23 year old pundits. Makes as much sense as anything else. They can tell us all how much taco sauce they chugged the year before when they were like, totally having fun at graduation.

this girl is on oreilly every week, she is his new mackris.

They missed it because, like me, they were fast asleep by the time she said it.

OBAMA is the one getting the passes. Where are all the reports about him. I know quite a few and if I could find them out, why isn't the press. Maybe they are just going to wait til they leak out so they can blame it on Hillary, they blame everything else.

Any links, Mrs. Simpson?

She was TWELVE when Clinton was first elected. Seriously. She was born in 1980.

She was probably twelve during the Clinton years. Hair and nails. n boys

And Dana Perino was how old during the Cuban Missile Crisis?

This is where the wingnuts get it wrong -- they pander pander pander to the MEN in their audience by hiring stupid bimbos to be their friggin spokesmodels, and then wonder why nobody respects them in the morning.

Do you know what, I'm okay with comments here that critisise her for clearly not knowing what she is talking about and making a stupid vapid comment... what I am disgusted with when scrolling down the comments is the number of them on a "liberal" blog that frame their crititisms in such overtly sexist language

She's from townhall? How bright do you think she could be, before they'd fire her?

Give Mary Katherine some slack -- I'd share her body heat anytime, anyplace.

I'll give her a pass. She may be an idiot. I don't even know who she is. But how the hell can Kurtz not stop dead in his tracks and say, "WTF?"

Stop feeding the trolls! Which of course is what Ms. Ham is!

Crazy Bitch.

Her comment doesn't necessarily reflect lack of consciousness. It's a legitimate point of view. To a great extent - this is more the case in other cultures but certainly, present in ours - world leaders are given deferential regard ("passes"). He still gets it but not as much.
