10 Other Things Hillary Clinton May Not Remember Correctly

In the wake of SniperGate (what if there's ever a political scandal involving fencing materials...will we have a Gategate?), perhaps Hillary's ability to recollect should come under scrutiny.

After all, she is in her 60's now, and this picture clearly shows she was a hippie...a pot smoking one, perhaps? As for Bill''s hillbilly-fro, maybe he did inhale.

Regardless, the President of The United States cannot be delusional...Bush proved that.

Let's examine some other things her memory may be a bit fuzzy on...


1. How she was the one to free the hostages in Iran in the 70's

2. How she invented the internet...not that Al Gore guy.

3. How she was the one to Free Willy

4. How to disclose her tax filings

5. How to bow out gracefully

6. How Stella Got Her Groove Back

7. Who shot J.R.

8. How she battled Godzilla and saved Tokyo.

9. Who shot the sheriff. ( she didn't shoot the deputy, though the case does remain unsolved.)

10. How she ever fell for a guy like Bill.

Richardson Judged A Judas?

New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson has come under fire from Clinton supporters for his endorsement of Barack Obama as the Democratic Presidential nominee.

Critics are claiming that Richardson, who served as Secretary of Energy under Bill Clinton, owes a debt of loyalty to the family for helping him in his political career.

Endorsing Obama is seen by some to be a political dagger in the back, with Clinton campaign advisor James Carville going so far as to imply Richardson was a Judas. Richardson chose not to lower himself to that level, but did mention that he saw that as typical for Clinton's people, and that there was "a sense of entitlement to the presidency."

The 60 year old Governor and former Presidental candidate came out in favour of Obama at a rally in Portland, Oregon on Good Friday, saying that "Obama will make a great and historic President," and adding that he is a "once in a lifetime leader" and that he would be "a president who brings the nation together."

CNN reports that despite his decision to back Obama, Richardson says he still remains loyal to the Clintons, but just feels that it is time for a change. Clinton's camp has officially shrugged off his decision, claiming that the nomination will be decided by the public.

This comes in the wake of a hectic week that saw the Obama and Clinton camps go at each other while the Republican party just sat back and smiled. The constant back and forth attacks between the two Democratic hopefuls is said to be causing some tension within the party, and playing right into the oppositions hands. Richardson himself remarked about the negativity and personal attacks in th ongoing campaign.

Meanwhile, on the Obama side, issue was taken with former President Clinton's remarks which seemed to imply he didn't love his country. Of course the Clinton camp denies that they ever intended any such implication.

Funny how two people who claim to want what is best for the country and agree that a Democrat must take the White House can carry on with no regard for the possible damage it might do to either one's bid for the Presidency. Despite the numbers, Sen. Clinton remains adamant about staying in the race.

And so it drags on. Let the mud slinging continue.

His Pastor's Keeper?

So now Obama is facing some political heat about some remarks his pastor made.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright let fly with with some fire and brimstone some time ago, and it seems Sen. Barack Obama has hell to pay for it these days. While the Senator did not support what Wright said, he stood by his pastor and explained his feelings in a well delivered speech given in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Why is this stuff being brought up now? The race was not supposed to be about race. Former Vice-Presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro faced some criticism for remarks she made in regards to Obama's race having to do with his current political success. That blew over pretty quick.

Ferraro eventually stepped down as a member of Hillary Clinton's finance committee, not because she took back her remarks but, according to a what a Clinton campaign source told ABC News, because she wanted to keep on discussing the matter without hurting Sen. Clinton's campaign.

So why is Obama being held to a different standard? He may have heard those remarks Pastor Wright made years ago, but considering the source and the context, what could he really have done? He has publicly condemned the sin, but not the sinner...isn't that what his religion is really all about.

After all, isn't it clear to everyone involved that Pastor Wright 'done wrong?'
