    • Mewchu11, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1That or there's a very disturbing rational as to why Bill had to go to Monica for sex...
  • Runkus, on 05/13/2008, -3/+13She's so used to lying and pandering she just got caught up in telling people what they want to hear.
  • AAK15, on 05/13/2008, -14/+5LOL!! LETS HANG ON TO THEIR EVERY WORD NO MATTER WHAT!!
    • romistrub, on 05/13/2008, -2/+2While you may be dugg down for caps, I agree with your sentiment. What happened to this "new politics"? Obama supporters, get on that.
  • Diggbel, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4She is in the race for some ulterior motive. Just dont know definitively what it can be. Can it be
    A.Money to pay off campaign debts
    B.Vice Presidential aspirations
    C.I'm gonna run all the way just to show the Democrat who dares to run in 2012 who they'll be up against.
    • ErikHarrison, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1She is undermining the integrity of Obama for McCain. That way he looks nice and innocent.
    • sonstone, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1I think at this point that it's A. She is 20mil+ in debt, and over 11 of that is her own money. IMO she is trying to get as much of that back as possible.
  • BabushkaBlue, on 05/13/2008, -1/+6She has absolutely jumped the shark and has become so ridiculous I can't bear to watch her anymore.
  • jiqiren, on 05/13/2008, -6/+3huffingtonpost has no shame! Total blog spam... buried.
  • relic180, on 05/13/2008, -3/+2She let it slip that this election was decided almost a year ago from a hotel room in Istanbul Turkey. The persistent drama that's trying to play itself out is to try and convince everybody that there's something competitive going on. There isn't, it's all just a show... and in the end we will just have another dem/repub president who panders to corporate interests.
    • ErikHarrison, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Or we have one that raised his campaign money without going into that arena.... Are you on something?
  • mciampa1214, on 05/13/2008, -1/+4At least she isn't lying anymore.
  • mustafya, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2Watch now as she tries to maneuver into place to become VP. Hopefully Obama will not allow this to happen as it would destroy much of his credibility. Also his sense of self-preservation should prevent it. Lots of people have died to further the Clinton's agenda.
  • khail250, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1boring...
  • alfal99, on 05/13/2008, -2/+0hillary clinton as a man joke
  • prosayik, on 05/13/2008, -1/+9I'm not a Hillary Clinton fan however...

    Indefinite antecedents are traditional male in gender in English: i.e. "The driver should bring his license."

    See: http://www.jochnowitz.net/Essays/Hyper.html

    There are other ways around it, like 'their' as people use or 's/he' but most hardnosed English teachers insist on he/his.

    (I'm not a grammar expert so correct me if I'm wrong)
    • prosayik, on 05/13/2008, -1/+2"traditionally male" - Again, I'm no expert so correct me if wrong.
    • chdodd2012, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2Actually, the correct way to deal with ambiguous gender to to say "his or her."- The driver should bring his or her license."
      • cquinnd, on 05/13/2008, -1/+2one can also use "their" to indicate a nonspecific gender.
        • chdodd2012, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2No, you can't!! Their is plural. He or she is singular. You can't mix them up!!

          Heil Grammar Nazi!
    • talonstriker, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Thank you!
  • alvarobernal, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1patriarchy at its best.
  • drewsheldon01, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1vid or fake
  • newstart, on 05/13/2008, -3/+1Or maybe Hillary is really a man! That way using 'he' is ok. Yea Yea Digg me down, slow joke day
  • sweeneyowns, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1i not so secretly hope she meant ron paul....
  • PolishLogic, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1I hear she also said mailman and manhole cover.
