You give the CDS2 minus points for quoting her mother? You must be the same folks who keep labeling everything they don't want to hear as "Reported as possibly inaccurate" over on Digg. Grow up, people. We are the ones who are supposed to be "reality based".
"I want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth - just as long as it fits with my preconceptions."
See?
I also call for greater regulation of mortgage lenders. I would eliminate the prepayment penalties that lead to such high rates of default. I would require lenders to take into account the borrower's ability to pay property taxes and insurance fees when deciding whether to make a loan in the first place. Too many loan lenders haven't made that part of the calculation, and too many families don't know that they need to budget for these expenses. In October I proposed legislation, the Foreclosure Rescue Fraud Act, that imposed new criminal penalties on lenders who are taking advantage of people, offering foreclosure rescue schemes that lure families in, take their money and do nothing to help them.

I guess misspeaking (aka wildly lying and expecting not to get caught) runs in the family...

I am getting so pissed at the Clintons that I cannot see voting for Hillary in November if she and Bill destroy the party. I haven't voted for a Republican since 1964 but I may have to if there is no viable party left.
"Courage, citizen!" as Adam West's Batman used to say...or, mayhaps, the bard?
How tender ’tis to love the babe that milks me;
I would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have pluck’d my nipple from his boneless gums
And dash’d the brains out, had I so sworn as you
Have done to this.
Macb. If we should fail?
Lady M. We fail!
But screw your courage to the sticking-place,
And we’ll not fail.
Unbelievably stupid quote of the week (and hey, we're just getting started with this week):
"A statement from TSA said the airplane was never in danger..."
Pilot's gun discharges on US Airways flight
Nope. Nothing to see here folks. Never in any danger. As everyone knows, there's nothing critical to the flight of an aircraft that could be found in a cockpit. A random discharge in the cockpit at 17,000 feet is not likely to ever cause any serious damage. Gosh, do you suppose if I accidently discharged a firearm on a full, in-flight aircraft, the TSA would issue such a statement? I'm betting not so much. And I'm beginning to think this whole "guns in the cockpit" thing might not be such a good idea after all. But I suppose we'll need to wait until one goes down before us children are permitted to re-examine the question.
I would argue that this pilot has just failed his Darwin test and should never be permitted to fly ANY aircraft EVER again, commercial, private or otherwise.
Seems like a gun bang at 30,000 ft might provoke commentary from one or two out of 124 paying customers, 2 pilots and 3 flight attendants...

Looks like in trying to distance herself from that, Vote Different, political ad on youtube Senator Clinton just proved the theme of it is correct.
How do they think people will see her in other way than imposing her will on millions of people if she winz the nomination by super delegate votes??

All of a sudden Bush's wife says: "If I were to throw out a $100 bill, I would make one person very happy."
Cheney answers: "If I threw ten $10 bills out of the window, I would make ten whole people happy."
Bush feels the need to say something as well: "If I threw a hundred $1 bills out of the window, I would make a hundred people happy."
The pilot, who had been listening to the conversation, mutters to the co-pilot: "If I were to throw these three out of the window, I'd make millions happy!"

A lifetime of lying?
Just consider this video a sample of the kind of commercials the Repubs will be cooking up if Hillary's the nominee.
"Tony Rezko was one of many, many donors, I had no special relationship with him" -- except that at periods of time the two spoke daily, and their relationship goes back about 20 years. Obama claimed to have been a co-sponsor of immigration policy and of Senator Dodd's proposal to expand the role of the FHA in the face of the mortgage market meltdown -- claims even Obama supporters Kennedy and Dodd told him were false and inappropriate. As for the pastor, at the start of Obama's campaign he recognized the pastor would be a problem -- so he put him on the campaign staff?
Obama is many, many things -- a gifted politician, a visionary leader, an inspirational figure -- but he is not above reproach or squeaky clean or above lying. And if Democrats refuse to see it, rest assured the McCain campaign can and will.
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Arabs keen to see the end of George W. Bush's presidency fear that a win for likely Republican candidate John McCain will bring little change to U.S. policies they blame for destabilizing the Middle East.
For Arab politicians who have gained from U.S. policy in countries including Iraq and Lebanon, continuity may be a good thing.
But Bush's many critics in the Arab world worry that McCain will continue current U.S. policies, which they fault for unleashing chaos in Iraq and providing unflinching support for Israel in its conflict with the Palestinians.

Oye vey Maria!!!
Has an eyebrow ever arched any higher than our Hil's?
Winky, winky if you get my drift, nudge, nudge evolves into comic super villian hissy fits with the fat Penn's nub.
Private National Mortgage Acceptance Co. LLC, also known as PennyMac, intends to help borrowers restructure loans so they can avoid foreclosure and maintain payments. Backed by prominent investment management firms BlackRock Inc. and Highfields Capital Management, PennyMac will even set up shop in Calabasas, Calif., about six miles from the offices of Countrywide. The irony was not lost on analysts.
''He won't be the first or the last person trying to make money on both sides of a trade,'' said Frederick Cannon, an analyst at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc. who covers Countrywide.

Just imagine, what could Kenny Lay be doing if....
If she weren't trying to stress the point that her trips around the world as first lady were somehow more than tea gatherings, I might have given her some benefit of the doubt. But she's using this as a 'war story' and it just shows how tough she is. She doesn't flinch when she's under sniper fire. She gets the job done. Only, in this case, it's complete fiction and such an incident never happened.
Her main job as First Lady had nothing to do with policy. Her main job was to ask, "One lump or two?".
1. pronounce incorrectly
2. express yourself unclearly
3. speak incorrectly
Lie
1. deliberately say something untrue
2. be deceptive
Clearly the statement and the classification of statement as a "misspeak" are deceptive. Not only did she misspeak, but she did her best to discredit Sinbad, who accurately described the situation. Did she forget there were others, including cameras on the trip?
If she wasn't being deceptive, she is delusional, and I'm not sure which is more scary.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is so desperate now, her camp is now talking about electoral votes to win the nomination!!! She is not ahead in the number of states won, she is behind in delegates won, no re-votes in Michigan or Florida, so now the suggestion about electoral votes.
Hillary, get real, stop attacking your fellow democrat with your kitchen sink politics, stop the lying, and get out now, before you spoil our chances of winning in December.
