Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton attacks President Bush, comparing him to Alfred E. Neuman


ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton went on the attack against President Bush in a speech Sunday, accusing him of damaging the economy by overspending while giving tax cuts to the rich.

The Democrat from New York also accused Bush of depriving U.S. soldiers of equipment needed to fight the war in Iraq and cutting funding for scientific research.

"I sometimes feel that Alfred E. Neuman is in charge in Washington," Clinton said referring to the freckle-faced Mad magazine character. She drew a laugh from crowd when she described Bush's attitude toward tough issues with Neuman's catchphrase: "What, me worry?"

....

She said the United States should remain in Iraq until peace can be maintained by the Iraqi people, saying the mission was part of the "long struggle against terrorism" by the U.S.

1. Alfred E. Neuman is not the mean SOB GWB is.

[LiberalFighter]

20. The Grinch that stole Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!

Compare the Grinch with cartoonists characterization of gw*

They could pass as twins.

[liberal N proud]

2. Go Hillary - Go!

[against all enemies]

3. Where's the Alfred W Neuman picture from the Nation?

[SHRED]

22. Ha! You beat me to it!

I LOVE that pic!

[against all enemies]

39. Thanks, Its hanging up in my office too. It's too perfect.

[goclark]

18. Love that she called him that- it will stick!!!!

I am pleased and surprised that she came out swingin'.
That is what we MUST do!

[GOPFighter]

5. No, he's more like Mariah Carey

No talent, and dumb as shit.

[despairing optimist]

43. * shows that much cleavage?

[trotsky]

6. That's an "attack"?

Good grief. Nice "fair and balanced" reporting by the "liberal" media there.

[Zenlitened]

13. That's the first thing that popped out at me, too: ATTACK!!!

That's such an incredibly loaded word, and I don't think it slipped in there by accident. :grr:

[johncoby2]

7. Isn't the idiot out of country? If so, it is customary

not to critcize the president until he returns.

Is this right?

[bunny planet]

15. Not any more, he ran back to this country very quickly so as to avoid

any authentic European reporters asking him real questions.

[WhiteTara]

19. absolutely!

that is why when Clinton was with China's officials, the pukes spewed the blue dress and impeachment rhetoric. Yeah, that's right, never criticize a traveling pres. One could just wish our idiot would stay out of the country.

[mmonk]

8. Yes, only stick to economic themes

and don't criticise foreign policy unless it's not agressive enough and don't criticise the erosion of civil liberties or separation of church and state. Be the good little DLC loser you are, Hillary.

[Massachusetts]

9. Excellent POINTS!

That type of rhetoric doesn't help the Dems much. STOP THE NAME CALLING AND COME UP WITH REAL SOLUTIONS. Be the party that has REAL solutions to the voters concerns, be the party that represents the people! IMO

[maquisard]

28. Still, it's so unlike her...

... to offer even the tiniest, most mouse-like rebuke of anything the Repukes do, kind of makes you wonder what gave her a spine all of a sudden.

[raysr]

10. Rope a Dope

[dArKeR]

11. The first time I saw aWol in 1999 I said he looked like that MAD

magazine guy.

[sidpleasant]

12. Way to parrot those Rove / Cheney talking points, Hillary!

"The mission was part of the 'long struggle against terrorism' by the U.S." is complete bullshit and she should know better than to bleat nonsense like that.

[il_lilac]

14. agree

that's the first thing i noticed in the article.

[indepat]

16. Strongly agree

[Theduckno2]

17. Agree here too!

Although "long struggle against terrorism" is marginally better than "War on Terrorism" she scores no points with me. My Nation cover is framed, on my kitchen table and I smile as I worry. :)

[AzDar]

21. Absolutely!!! Until someone has the cajones to call Iraq what it is (an

illegal,distracting, money- and life-sucking quagmire),they're just part of the problem, and I can't get on board.

[FreeStateDemocrat]

23. Aiding neocons trying to tie Iraq blunder to 9/11 not my kind of candidate

[renaissanceguy]

25. Exactly. This is NOT part of the "war

on terra." It's a QUAGMIRE, and we need to get out NOW.

24. Freepers hate H. Clinton more than bad news from Iraq. So why "3 Stars"

Sen. Clinton Attacks Bush Over Tax Cuts
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050711/ap_on_go_co/clinton...

In my quest to expose the NSA Blackbox on ISP servers changing poll votes, here is my latest example. Stories from Iraq, bad news, dead American soldiers, corruption of Haliburton in Iraq... all have One Star to Two Star ratings on Yahoo. After about 100 examples of posting the links/ratings on the DU, someone posted that it's Freepers. I disagreed then because if it were other "bad news" stories about aWol/GOP leadership would also be Freeped at the same time since Yahoo lists the top 6 stories on their front page.

The Freepers/Nazi Christians hate NOTHING more in the world than Hillary. Since they can only get this story down to Three Stars is a little more evidence that the NSA's Blackbox is voting Iraq bad news stories.

(I used to watch Perry Mason reruns!)

[zara]

26. ooh that's a rough one, wonder how W will show his face...

after such a coherent Democratic onslaught.
So proud of my party.

[demokatgurrl]

27. A brilliant and accurate observation but not new-

there were pictures around on the "internets" last year.

[Dervill Crow]

30. Wasn't that picture from 2000?

A coworker had that picture up in her cube, and it mysteriously disappeared. Freedom of speech does not exist in the workplace when the boss is a repug.

[FrenchieCat]

29. The name calling is very nice.....

But too bad she didn't accompany that with a little more analytical observation in references to solve the issue at hand.

Here's what a real leader would say & do....

http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2005-07-10-london-clark_x.htm
(My translation.....in essence....Fuck Bush, cause he's doing it all wrong....here's what needs to happen.....)

[Generator]

31. So she goes for a fun laugh and then agrees with Bush's Iraq policy

EXACTLY. Wake up and smell the coffee, Hillary fans..she's not on the peace train.

[Disturbed]

32. Her hubby has said almost the same.

Seems that the power couple need to stay in good graces with Poppy & Ma Bush so they can go yachting and golfing with them.

[Robeson]

36. Do you mean like this quote from the article....

..."She said the United States should remain in Iraq until peace can be maintained by the Iraqi people, saying the mission was part of the "long struggle against terrorism" by the U.S."

Yeah, I agree, Bush could have spoken them himself.

[Barkley]

41. And that's why she won't get my vote in 2008

She wants to send more troops to Iraq. We need to bring our troops home.
The Iraqis clearly do not want more US troops on their soil. The Iraqis do not want to live under U.S. occupation.

I will not vote for any Democrat that supports Bush's policy of occupation for Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti or any other sovereign state.

[Hepburn]

33. WOW...what a freaking insult to...

Alfred E. Neuman! :evilgrin:

[Mark E. Smith]

34. The GOP Sure Does Whine A Lot

Where do they find the time? They spend so much of it functioning as de facto apologists for torture and treason, you'd think they wouldn't be able to squeeze in defending the President of the United States from Alfred E. Neuman comparisons.

But there they are ...

[Arkansas Granny]

35. What has Alfred E. Neuman ever done to Hilary

for her to make such an unkind comparison?

[Left coast liberal]

37. Nice job, Hillary nt

[sandnsea]

38. aaargh, "long struggle against terrorism"

Tell me she didn't say that. Bill Clinton was complaining about Democrats having a fuzzy security policy yesterday. Having Democrats say shit like Hillary did sure does make it difficult to have a clear security policy.

[Cha]

40. That's good Hillary..

bush is definetly .."What me, worry?"..

But this Sux!.."She said the United States should remain in Iraq until peace can be maintained by the Iraqi people, saying the mission was part of the "long struggle against terrorism" by the U.S."

[Boxerfan]

42. Take some foil tape & a magic marker & presto!

[shanti]

44. ROTFLMMFWAO!!!!!

she did NOT say that!! :rofl: i love it!
