New book sez only Rice could keep Clinton from White House

Talk about your pure malicious pack of total lies, this one is a dandy. It's a new book by former Bill Clinton adviser-turned-nemesis Dick Morris and his wife, Eileen McGann. With Clinton out of office for six years now, most of us have been missing the typical mindless truth-busting Clinton-bashing tirades that the far right manages to dream up on the six days of the week they ain't slapping each other on the back, singing praise songs and feeling smug for being the only ones who are right with the Lord.

But I digress. There's nothing really wrong with Dick Morris for wanting to get his toes sucked every now and then.

These guys are real nuts. Morris is an old pal and advisor of Governor Mike Huckabee. To hear these guys tell it, if Hillary wins things will be a complete police state. Things will be worse than the Patriot Act, I suppose. That would be bad. Wonder if things would be worse than inside the New Orleans Convention Center.

Let me come directly to the point. Here is one of the most far-fetched misstatements from the book.

"Hillary has a sense of entitlement that leaves her vulnerable to the temptations of financial misconduct," they write.

Anybody remember the notorious cattle future trades that the far right goofballs has so much fun spinning into absolutely nothing. Mrs. Clinton had a goal to earn $100,00 for her daughter's college education. Here is how this wicked and desperate woman behaved. She sold her position when she made her money and then, to top it off, paid the taxes on it too. These are the inconvenient facts that get in the way of so many good stories.

Here is m question. If Senator Clinton is so bad for America, why not attack her based on her record and her statements?

I have known Hillary Clinton (not closely but as an acquaintance) for 20 years. I have interviewed her. She is tough and smart. Maybe she would be a terrible president.

Secretary of State Rice might make a fine commander-in-chief. Isn't it something that should be decided on a little higher level than downright fabrications?
