SNL: Live, From New York...It's Hillary Clinton! Rudy shows up too
Hillary Clinton showed up on the set of Saturday Night Live last night to cash in on last week's very funny skit that lampooned the media coverage between Hillary and Barack. Now when it comes to a general election between John McCain and Obama/Hillary, (I give the edge to Obama at this point) who do you think will get treated better?

Rudy Giuliani showed up on the Weekend Update segment to lament his loss to John McCain and explain his biggest mistake
Rudy: The Florida plan was solid, I stand by that. But the dress killed me.
Saturday Night Live opened tonight with a fake presidential debate hosted by mock Brian Williams and Tim Russert. Williams and Russert were bored by healthcare and were overly nice to Obama, while Amy Poehler, as Hillary Clinton, played mildly indignant. After the debate, instead of the opening credits, there was an "Editorial Response."
When did SNL turn into "the 1/2 hour news hour"?
The best campaign commercial EVER! They might not have technically "endorsed" her but it's pretty obvious they did after this episode.
This episode also had a nice dose of racism and gay bashing as well.
Rudy and Hillary
How cute
There's no business like show business
Too little too late for Hillary. It's all over.
RHM
Everythings groovy!
I can't believe that show is still on.
RHM @ 6:
We're an Empire Baby!
The show was awful from beginning to end.
Not only was it NOT funny, it was insulting.
The skits and Obama/debate portrayals reeked of racism, ghettoizing blacks and depicting them as stupid, as well as painting Obama as less than intelligent.
And that cartoon - WTF was THAT? could they be more blatant in marginalizing Obama as the *black* candidate just as Bill did in SC with Jesse Jackson???
Plus their portrayal of Hillary at the desk - a not so subliminal message of her in the oval office?
http://boards.nbc.com/nbc/index.php?showforum=18/
nice to see they've kept their sense of humor.Call me crazy,but I like her,and Rudy welllllll,he still has his sense of humor.
Are SNL writers still on strike? And how many superdelegate votes do they have?
mudshark @ 11:
Yeah good job distracting us from the Killing Fields over in Iraq.
It would have been funnier if they would have shown a backstage segment at the end of the show, with Tina Fey and Bill C in a compromising position! Ha! SNL lost it's bite years ago. With all that media "bias" Hillary keeps talking about, she sure is a media hound just before the next Primary. Mark Penn might be a terrible campaigner, but he sure gets her the spotlight just before big days. At least she isn't crying, or faux angry this time.
Stopped watching SNL years ago. Obviously missin' nuttin'.
Hillary tied to Rudy on SNL
McCain tied to Hillary in NYT Frank Rich column
Looks like loser candidates being teamed up. Even double-teaming they're not as savvy or as compelling as Team Obama.
Armisen is terrible in this role.
And Hillary's "The media is against me!" victimhood schtick would be a lot more convincing if she didn't have her millionaire friends giving her free airtime to complain about... not getting enough airtime?
mudshark @ 11:
In my opinion, your not crazy. At least in these clips (I didn't get to watch the whole show) Clinton was pretty funny and played well with the other "Hillary". Guiliani on the other hand, sounded like a robot just saying what he is programmed to say.
I'm assuming all the applause Rudy got was the audience happy to see him not running for prez.
I hate to take issue with SNL, but where is the evidence-i.e. facts to support-that the media are soft on Obama. I'm sorry but everything but the kitchen sink, in fact the kitchen sink, have been thrown at this guy, i.e. not patriotic enough, a plagiarizer, not black enough, too black, not experienced, no legislative accomplishments, now Rezko, and the list goes on. So, I just don't get this idea that the media prefers Obama to Hillary. C'mon, everyone knows it is the Clintons who receive the kid gloves.
Typhonis @ 16:
Ya, it is getting old. It's out of the Bill Clinton playbook. He used it for years. You go on national television and complain you get no national coverage. Or you complain Faux Snooze lies about you, so you go on Faux Snooze. It's a friggin' joke that people see through.
very funny skit last week? John did I miss something
Hillary will be a terrific President. She is her own woman, she will not be handled by congress. She will lead and direct this nation to greatness once again, after to many years of Republican rule and ruin.
Obama with the endorsements of Kennedy, Kerry and Rockafeller' it's clear who'll be leading the country and it won't be Obama. He is going to look like a puppet very soon if Hillary isn't the nominee the Democratic party is in for 4 years of McCain and I'm not just whistleing dixie. This country is not ready for another puppet. It will tear the country appart even more than it is now.
Think back - Bill Clinton was not handled - Neither is Hillary. They are both born leaders and work their guts out for the will of the people. So when Hillary wins the nomination or if she squeeks the victory out. Be grateful that the Democrats will take back the White House and Congress!
So who are the sponsers i can boycott? (besides Schmitz, and Summers Eve)
jimbojames @ 19:
And even with all of that being thrown at him he still comes out ahead. Obama just exudes charisma and that is something that can not be taught. You either have it or you don't. Obama is the type of leader that just makes people want to follow him. To me, on the campaign trail, Clinton is forceful. She almost seems authoritarian sometimes but those are just my observations.
jimbojames @ 19:
Very true. It is amusing to see a woman who, since 1992, has dominated the daily news and political talk complain about not having a "level playing field" when she is running against a young black man. Get real. The post above kinda kills that argument.
RHM
Joe O. @ 24:
It's not just charisma, it's class. Something the Clintons lack almost entirely.
RHM
Danny @ 22:
Bilderburg, the rise of corperate rights, and the eviseration of citizens rights mean anything to you?
I think you would have had a good show if Rudy played Hilliary and vice versa.
natisman @ 28:
That wouldn't be too hard. Hillary can wear a dress and Rudy can wear a pant suit. Except Hillary would have to shave her head. :)
you say: (I give the edge to Obama at this point) . I say would you really? I wouldn't.
The Obama skit Clinton referenced at the debate really wasn't that funny. The audience didn't seem to be laughing.
Al "The Groundhog" Gore even emerged yesterday.
L.A. Confidential @ 32:
Where? He hasn't shown his chubby little face for quite a while.
I'd like to see him endorse Obama and finally cut all ties with the Clintons. He doesn't need them for anything. On the contrary, I think he has a lot more influence on his own.
RHM
mudshark @ 11:
Giuliani is much better doing shtick than running for Prez. It’s much safer for the country as well.
Gouhliani didn't mention 9-11!!
Was worth watching for that alone (well, almost).
RHM @ 33:
Gore used the stage at a prestigious Technology, Entertainment and Design conference in Monterey, California Saturday to predict winters end.
Welcome to Planet Absurdity!! Screw these clowns!
And Obama, whenever people give you shit about your name just say...

A guy with a German name and german heritage, fighting Germany, our greatest enemy ever.
Nobody thought he was a double agent.

What pisses these people off is the fact he stays calm and collected. He doesn't collapse from racism, fear and hate-mongering, he won't succumb to mocking, and belittling either.
EliteLemming @ 27:
All of the candidates play the same game - pay thier due to the corporations. It IS the way the system has been SET UP.
I'm saying is the corporations are not behind a Clinton this time because they are leaders of the will of the people and Obama is looking more and more like the puppet. Sorry if you disagree. I see it this way and I'm not alone - We all see it through the same lense a little different. I see Hillary as President that can and will be the ticket for the people of the United States and I see Barack oweing too many favors to White Elite.
L.A. Confidential @ 36:

L.A. Confidential @ 38:
That's an understatement. Let's all talk about which dumbass political butt puppet was funniest while soldiers continue to illegally occupy a foreign nation and countless iraqi's are homeless and dead. But hey, ruby ghouliani was in a dress and that sure was um... supposed to be funny.

I'm saying that she likes things done huss-hush and behind closes doors. And behind those doors, she's a lobbyhorse. Don't be sorry i disagree, be proud we can and be civil about it. The other side would call us terrorists.
I'm 30 and I grew up watching SNL. Of course the early days of Belushi, Ackroyd, Murray etc, etc..we're legendary and it was the shows golden era. During the 80's there was a lul in quality untill the 88-92 period where it went through a renaissance with Hartman, Carvey, Meyers etc, etc...
But since then the show has been a complete and unmitigated disaster. It's just not funny, filled with nothing but shitty UN-funny people who are only there in the hope of launching a movie career. Just look at the assholes they have on the show today. Not a single real comedic talent and the writing is fucking awful.
Yes i just coined the word "lobbyhorse".

ConcernedCanuck @ 46:
We've been freezing our freaking asses off since Dec 1. Bout time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need cheap gas so we can all drive more and keep things warm!
It just shows how fucking LAME Hilary is when she appears on SNL. This looks like an act of desperation to me.
L.A. Confidential @ 50:
Have you ever been to England, LA? Who could blame him for wanting to get out of that cold damp nation. It's dark, usually wet, and basically all dirty looking. I was underwhelmed when I went. It's like they never got past the 18th century.
Obama is growing the party bringing in youth, independents, the politically disinterested, and Republicans. Hillary is just hurting the party.
Anyone want to buy some more debt?
WASHINGTON - The Federal Reserve announced Friday that it will auction another $60 billion in March as it continues to combat the effects of a severe credit crisis.
how embarrassing for hillary.
ConcernedCanuck @ 53:
No. That certainly explains why beer consumption is the biggest thing happening there.
I couldn’t stand it when she came on. I had to mute it until it was over. There is something about her that just irritates me.
I see the comments on C/L finally got over their asinine hatred of the Clintons and remember who has been in-charge for the last 7 years. Who has led this nation to the brink of Fascism? The Clintons? Come on people. I know, corporate media, no difference between the parties, everyone is bought and paid for, blah, blah, blah, ...
Ozymandias @ 54:
Hey let me tell you Obama is going to be Prez! He's going to open the sky and c-notes, ipod's, and free stuff is going to coming raining down on everyone!
L.A. Confidential @ 44:
yeah,Al's up here somewhere.In Monterey or Santa Cruz .It's about spraying for the brown apple moth.nasty stuff. But we're inundated with all these moths. I've never seen so many.Their not as bad as they were a few months ago,when they did the first round of spraying. again,nasty stuff. People were leaving for a few days to a week or so just to get away from it. We all know about the bees disappearing,That's what this is about. What will it do to the remaining bees?
RayC @ 59:
Good Point!
Attention!!!!!!!!! George Dubya Bush Jr has been President the past 7 years people!
Not Bill Clinton!!!!
mudshark @ 61:
Keep the bee's away from Monsanto products!!!!!!!!!!
Just looking at that made me want to die
L.A. Confidential @ 55:
Didn't think so!!!
RayC @ 59:
It's Clinton Fatigue 101. When a person has been openly campaigning since her husband left office, people tend to tire of that person. If she is getting so many negative revues, people should put the blame where it belongs.......on her campaign. Period. It's been terrible.
The writers strike may have been a brief moment in time where shows weren't able to constantly breed the cynicism necessary to drive down the youth vote and and maintain the status quo. I really think it helped a candidate like Obama with all that hope and optimism. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end and the establishment is thrilled. We'll see Tuesday. In any case, go Billary 08 or McCain 08...oh WTF...Who cares! At least Ann Coutler will be happy.
L.A. Confidential @ 65:
China and Saudi Arabia will snap it up. Soon they'll own 49 states out right.
ConcernedCanuck @ 66:
Well to be honest I'm getting a little "Yes We Can" fatigue at this point also! I'm starting to wish Obama would tell his supporters to STFU! because they are starting to sound like some rabid cult.
So she can fly from Texas to New York to appear on a shittty "comedy" show but can't make it to a fucking vote in Washington when she's actually IN Washington?
Hey, John....How bout posting the "TV Funhouse" with Sharpton and Jesse Jackson?....Hilarious.

Don't forget sex. Drinking and fucking are the only two thing's worth doing there.

sadsad @ 70:
true.
but I suppose the same could be said for Obama and McCain.
L.A. Confidential @ 69:
I agree. Like I said, it is no surprise that the voter numbers on election day are so low. I have never seen any nation on the globe that needs such a three ring circus process. Canada may have many faults (I admit that openly) but we would have had a minimum of four elections by the time you pick a candidate for the election. Can't wait until they make it even more like American Idol and have voters phone 1-900-Hil-lary to vote.
sadsad @ 70:
Now your learning. Face it, their all rich politicians. The top 1% economic class.
All we can do is chose the pre packaged Corporate candidate of our choice and hope for the best.
Danny @ 22:
Bill Clinton signed (and Hillary loved) NAFTA. NAFTA has destroyed the entire Great Lakes region. Sorry pal, DLC repuke-lite ain't no winner in my neck of the woods! Neither was that 2002 Iraq invasion vote. MAJOR ISSUES: Hillary 0 for 2, Obama 2 for 2. Nuff said.
EliteLemming @ 73:

L.A. Confidential @ 62:
But rather then affect any real change, he continued the disasterous policies of Bush, Reagan (NAFTA) while he and his wife helped hand Congress over to the Repukes for 12 wonderfull years. 6 years of screaming and yelling over every little thing followed by another 6 years of rubber stamping everything that fucking retard Bush has done.
the only problem with hindsight,is that it's hindsight.and it's always 20/20.
L.A. Confidential @ 60:

sadsad @ 48:
Agreed. And the limited revival in the late 80's was like a last gasp before the final death rattle.
Hilliary had a chance and she blew it. When the time came for her to put that experience she claims to have to use, she made the wrong choice. She voted for this war and that showed lack of good judgment
Danny @ 81:
You actually thought I was serious? Oh my gawd.
ConcernedCanuck @ 43:
I've seen you on C&L and funny you are so self absorbed you have never read any of my posts. Or Maybe you don't have any hard work to do so you know only what you want to know and you don't know me. Yes I'm for Hillary and I'm not for Obama and somehow you think that everyone not on the train to dreamy O land is some kind of troll. Get a clue and find a job.
MargeAggedon @ 8:

mudshark @ 80:
Not anymore, is rewritten, watered down and sometimes intentionally forgotten these days. We're lucky to agree on one or two "facts", let alone "on what really happened". We need a move back to an open government.
What a coinsidence! In one night they had the two people who were supposed to be the nominies of their parties' run for the White House but won't be.
if anyone is waiting for the perfect candidate, don't. They don't exist. Never have,and never will.
Danny @ 87:
I have a job, so thanks, but no thanks. Your post read like a teen with a hormone problem. Sorry, but that was what I got from it. I don't care if you support Obama or Hillary, or an anal cyst from Washington, just don't post like a cheerleader hopped up on the high school football team. NOBODY and NOTHING is all black and white. Read something besides high school textbooks.
L.A. Confidential @ 69:
"Starting?" I was hiking yesterday we came on a campsite ringed with Obama front yard signs and everyone there (even the kids) had Obama buttons on.

Yes, i see that you are a Hillary supporter and i think i know why.
ConcernedCanuck @ 75:
Every day that goes by I thank christ that we have a political system that doesn't let moronic scum like Bush anywhere near the leadership. Yeah, Harpers a douchebags but he's an educated, reasonably intelligent douchebags. Are population also aren't a bunch of lemming's that will vote for a fucking retard because they'd like to have a beer with him. I think the US Goverment need a major fucking shakedown.
Don't you think it's strange the way American's are soo wrapped up in the myth of they're country and will be swayed by some asshole wrapped in the flag, carrying a bible, wearing a cowboy hat? Would you agree that up here our elected leaders are kept on a short leash and if they fuck up, are promptly handed they're ass?

Is it just me, or is Hillary desperate for free media after realizing her fundraising deficit to Obama. Appearances on The Daily Show then SNL show me a candidate who can't afford as much tv time as her opponent and is trying to make up for it anyway possible. To be honest I don't think its gonna work. No one watches SNL and decides to vote for Hillary Clinton.

You've got balls Danny, keep it up. I've given up trying to have reasoned debates with the rude members of the Obama supporter. It's like dealing with the Bushbots who used to come here. Never in my imagination, would I have thought I'd have to defend myself so violently against folks in my own party. Seriously, I really don't feel like voting in November at all anymore.

L.A. Confidential @ 76:
Oh I've known that all along. What is really going on in the US of A is outright CLASS WARFARE. It's the richest 1% fucking everyone over and turning the country into a third world country. Pro-NAFTA supporters will say, "oh but we have to close down factories here and ship them to Mexico and China because we have to remain competitive". FUCK THAT SHIT!
The whole point of the USA was to create a country that had a higher standard of living compared to the rest of the world. A nation of people and Laws. American's shouldn't have to work for 5 cents and hour. The country is better then that. The phrase MADE IN AMERICA used to mean something, a standard that the entire world should aspire to. Instead there are nothing but Wal-mart's filled with products that say MADE IN CHINA, a fascist communist military dicatorship - EVERYTHING that America is supposed to stand against.

So how would it go down to know, knowing the minds of the Clintons and her New York Base of do anything to win backers, to have planned the whole thing from the beginning:
Mission Accomplished -REDUX.
Rudy in drag AGAIN?!
"Bilderburg, the rise of corperate rights, and the eviseration of citizens rights mean anything to you?"
And you think the black guy from Harvard Law is going to be any different? Aside from the fact that you are fooling yourself, what proof do you have of this magical transformation?
"Obama just exudes charisma and that is something that can not be taught. You either have it or you don’t. Obama is the type of leader that just makes people want to follow him."
Off a cliff, perhaps? These kinds of comments are why many have applied the word 'cult' to what has been going on during this election. I'm glad to know that content, facts and reality have nothing to do with your decision to support one or the other. The Obama bandwagon is full of Republicans and Indies giving tons of money and support, for now. I wonder how many weeks into his term of office that will last? I predict about 10.
"couldn’t stand it when she came on. I had to mute it until it was over. There is something about her that just irritates me."
Yeah, yeah... Programmed by 16 years of GOP hate and the MSM enablers, no wonder.
So Tom says, "When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon."
What is really reich is the Hillary supporters projecting her sins on Barack.

Yeah, and I guess OBam-bams bad judgment is not out yet....REZKO, REZKO, REZKO!
reciprocity @ 117:
No. Instead Hillary and the Clintons are not perfect, and people don't like that. Obama, as many religious cult figures, is apparently perfect in every way, like all preachers appear to be.
But this comment from the LA Times today pretty much sums up the last 6 months of this election:
(Billy Jean) "King, the pioneering women's professional tennis player, was dismayed about Clinton's vulnerable candidacy. "I see my whole life going down the drain," Roberts recounted King saying. "A cute young guy comes in and sweeps away all the hard work that the older woman has done."
Tom The Patriot:
Your 'patriot queen' joined with all of the Republicans -against Obama and the majority of the Democratic Senate - when Senator Feinstein offered legislation to place a moratorium on the use of cluster bombing civilian areas. Every humanitarian organization including the Red Cross was behind the Dems. in support.
But your 'queen' of the Childrens' Defense Fund said NO.
Do you know what those toylike cluster bomblets do to children, TOM!?
Beware of false patriots..

Reich? Great way to bring our party together. Look, I REALLY don't want to hear or see any personal insults here at C&L. If I want an Obama sounding board I'll go to Daily Kos, if I want a Hillary sounding board I'll go to Taylor Marsh. C&L is a port in the storm away from all that shite. Let's keep it that way.
Fixed that for you.
The more Hillary Clinton gets crammed down America's collective throat by the mainstream media with a hard-on to see her in power, the more anyone else seems like a preferable option. McCain would crush her in a general election, and not because anyone likes him - people simply hate him less. It pains me to say that most of Clinton's supporters are voting for her simply because she's a "she", and to them anyone who opposes her is doing so for the same reasons. This is, of course, utter horseshit that devalues all the struggles women have made towards equality in American society - but never mind that. Must...vote...for...candidate...with...vagina...beeeeeep...
Jeon Ji-Yung @ 122:
OY! Thanks for the insult. You're so persuasive.
More free publicity for Hillary.
It feels like the press has turned this week--the WaPo, NYT, even the locals in Ohio and Dallas Morning News--have all led with "Hillary news," whether or not the story was about Obama.
Fuck her.
Tom The Patriot @ 116:
I'm not following anyone around like a sheep, I THINK that he offers the best chance for move to a more open government and return to populist THINKING. Your insinuation is offensive, and you only offer critisism and a qoute. I respect your opinion,but the way people continue to attack each other here is saddening. I've never touted my level of education or lack there of, nor have insisted that I'm better than those who disagree with me. I am passionate for my country and more so for the idea of my country. It is my joy as well as my duty as a citizen to particpate and I'm sick of people telling me that if I don't have the same train of thought or prioities they do I shouldn't be involved.

Sorry, hazmaq, Tom does not subscribe to white queens --or black kings, for that matter. "I speak an open and disinterested language, dictated by no passion but that of humanity. To me, who have not only refused offers, because I thought them improper, but have declined rewards I might with reputation have accepted, it is no wonder that meanness and imposition appear disgustful. Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good..."
The Rights of Man (1791)
Nor does Tom approve of Robert D's witty comment: "Fuck her." Tom asks the moderator if this is C & L approved. Yes, how terrible a major candidate is mentioned in the media during an election season, RobertD! What a well reasoned argument -two whole words- you have there!
And, liteLemming, your comment “If your not with us your with the Special Olympics”, aside from the bad grammar of 'your' instead of 'you are', this is a clear insult to a whole class of people in this country. I find your insult to the Special Olympics beyond the pale of acceptable discourse and quite despictable. That is the low level of pro-Obama discourse I would expect on Huffpost or KOS.

Hillary is known to have a great sense of humor, and I found this skit endearing and funny.
As for Rudy, he's always been and always will be an also-ran; he's not in the same league as Hillary or Obama. I can't think of a single filthy republican in the same league as Hillary or Obama...with the exception of Eisenhower.

You forgot the endorsement of the majority of primary voters so far, plus the majority of the superdelegates, plus one million campaign contributors.
Those endorsements are more important than a bunch of blueblood elites.
I admit, I'm one of the vast conspiracy of cultists that are teleoperating Barack Obama, through my $25 bi-weekly donations.
What are you whistling, then? Foaming brown bullshit?
Which is why Obama's NO PAC/LOBBYIST DONOR-POWERED campaign scares the living shit out of the special interests and elites who have been ass-fucking our system for the last 40 years
I agree with you there, but not for the reason you wish I did.
Yes. I thunk back. And . . . what is your point?
Actually, Hillary is only interested in the significant voters in California and New York. The voters in the last 11 primary contests (the one's she's lost) haven't mattered.
Is that a sentence? By the way, she's down in Texas, down in Ohio, every poll since before Super Tuesday has underestimated Obama's lead by several points, and she's behind in superdelegates. Was that what you meant to say?
I will, with Obama's boots-on-the-ground people-powered, contest-every-vote 50-state strategy. Hillary, on the other hand, has focused on swing states and "important" endorsements from elite people, and fought to overturn election rules established months, years, or decades in the past because the results aren't favoring her. She's setting herself up for the same failure that has dogged the Democrats in EVERY FUCKING ELECTION between 1980 and 2004. It was Dean's 50-state strategy in 2006 that changed the channel on that old, boring, depressing station. And Obama is following Dean's script, not the DLC's failed tactics.
In closing: go home and wait for the ass-kicking vote count to come in on Tuesday.

Donnie Mcclurkin?
Ethics reform, while friends for 17 years with Rezko, and taking money from Giannoulias (Alexi)?
Ooooo, just wait til the republicans get the gift of Obama as a bonified rival.

Sure Josh, I bet "100 years of occupating Iraq" Mc Insane can't wait--to get his ass kicked by Obama. And this stuff with Rezko and Giannoulias---pretty weak. Nice try, though.
The opening sketch was better than last week's, but Armisen's not a good Obama. I really did wonder a little about equal time provisions, although they've had Obama on before.
Meanwhile, the most striking thing about Rudy — beside the audience really responding to that applause sign — is that his segment pushed the lie that he chose to bypass the early primary states when he didn't. He spent millions and part of 44 days in New Hampshire. It's just that the more people got to know him, the more they disliked him.
ezpz @ 10:
yes, SNL has been quite rascist (not funny abt color differences) for quite a while - I stopped watching regularly many moons ago.
This pathetic 'performance' is a sign of clintons' TOTAL despair. This might have meant something if Clinton had an ounce of charisma, and SNL was still good. But shillary has the personal appeal of a wet matress and SNL has totally sucked since the 90’s.
I was hoping she were to come on the show so she would go to a xerox machine (many SNL skits over the years..) and in a New York nano second produce a copy of their income tax returns so that we can see where and from whom they are getting their close to $50 million dollar$$$ Addendum: clintons reveal their donors to their library. I would laugh and laugh and laugh if she does a skit xeroxing that information before Texas and Ohio voting. shillary would then be shillarious.
So, what is still holding up shillary's record as the first 'lady' to be made public ? bill's special order had classified it. booosh adm had freed it a long time ago. so, what was she 'officially' doing in the WH in addition to bimbo control and screwing the health insurance (hers was NEVER to be the health CARE) ???
