Clinton Glasnost Update

CBS News's Fernando Suarez reports that Sen. Hillary Clinton will actually ride on the press plane (with real reporters!) from San Diego to Los Angeles.

Comments

Give her credit: she is open minded and willing to learn.

Wow - all the way from San Diego to LA...what's that about 20 minutes?

Tiparillo, most press availabilities are short.. and do not take place in confine quarters. So this is a sign that she's willing to engage the press.

Maybe someone can ask her about this comment by one of her advisors: "If you have a social need, you're with Hillary. If you want Obama to be your imaginary hip black friend and you're young and you have no social needs, then he's cool."

Tiparillo-- my thoughts exactly.

When the Lady giveth, she giveth so damn little.

What a bunch of calculated, joyless junk.

I'm so sick of her already. God help us all.

When will Obama do this? Wait, there is no arugula on the press plane.

Darn it!

And WTF is a ball hitch?

I am only 36 ... I don't consider that old, maybe it is.

But I hate ... hate is not too strong a word ... young punks where in diapers, in riding on training wheels when Bill Clinton was President, and who now claim to support Democrats, but trash Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.

The country was trending right since 1970. Prior to Bill only one Democrat had held the office, for one term, since LBJ left office. Bill held it for two terms and fought the Reagan / Bush 41 machine.

Now a lot of young, so called Democrats, say "oh the Clintons are soo yesterday."

The "today" for the Democratic Party wouldn't be what it is without the Clinton's. Rahm Emmanuel who was pivitol oin regaining the House in '06 cut his teeth working for the Clintons.

Yet more of Hillary's "human side." As if we were all Right Wing loons who thought she was some kind of reptile...

Please...it's 20 minutes tops in flight time, half of which is buckled in your seats...

Typical pol move to look good while doing nothing different.

I do wish Obama would do more Q & A sessions. I'd like to see his presence in those situations.

Thanks!

Now I can stop wondering.

Wonder whether Hillary will let a racial innuendo slip during the trip?

Jan...why keep fueling the fire?

My O my.....Who would have thought in these newly
released Hilery Memos that her team would play the
race card with the introduction of the now famous Rev. Wright pulpit rantings and how to use those Wright tapes against Mr. Obama ? A good majority of people in this now defunct race for the Democratic nomination forget one thing about Mr. Obama.

He is 1/2 white.

But told/sold over and over to the public as black. I just think of him as just a man. Shame on you Hilery.
