2008 May Test Clinton’s Bond With McCain
By ANNE E. KORNBLUT

WASHINGTON, July 28 — Two summers ago, on a Congressional trip to Estonia, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton astonished her traveling companions by suggesting that the group do what one does in the Baltics: hold a vodka-drinking contest.

Delighted, the leader of the delegation, Senator John McCain, quickly agreed. The after-dinner drinks went so well — memories are a bit hazy on who drank how much — that Mr. McCain, an Arizona Republican, later told people how unexpectedly engaging he found Mrs. Clinton to be. “One of the guys” was the way he described Mrs. Clinton, a New York Democrat, to some Republican colleagues.

How about "let's roll over"...for the Dems in Congress.

I'd give you cash, Bucks (note the name...who's got the $$ now?), but we're striking. GottaGetIncome

Ohhhhhhh, pretty sparkley things!

I love ponies. I'll take 10% of any pony. Standard agent fee.

Yeah, GottaStopStealingMyMaterial.

Hat tips were nice for a bit. Now Bucky wants cash.

Really, I remember when someone tried to trademark the phrase "let's roll" after 9/11. So silly. 'Cuz you know, nobody ever said "let's roll" before that.

10%? Can't I just get you a pony too?

Actually, I'm stealing it. I'll post it with you two in mind, and credit BuckaLuck with a hat tip. He loves them hat tips. : )

HillBilly(tm)

I just thought of it, and really, I was rather pleased with myself. I do that sometimes. ;-)

I think it is what I am going to have to call them from now on -- or at least as long as Bill is running alongside Hill.

And of course you can use it, Addy. Please send royalty checks to me care of my agent, GottaGetMyTenPercent.

HillBilly campaign?! That is pretty funny. Can I use it?

Of course, Addster, you are right again. The HillBilly campaign is already positioning for the general.

Say what you will about those two, but they know how to play politics.

Oh, I knew that, what you meant. My comment was independent of that.

Dudes, I don't a lovefest in the general was the point of the remark. I think he really wanted to mess with repub heads.

Hill and McPain wouldn't either. I can't see that going on for more than a week.

I don't want a freaking lovefest in the general. I want our candidate to bring it to win it.

The repubs never play nice.

I am amused as we speak.

Losing his marbles or very canny? McCain is aruguably their strongest contender. However, many repubs don't like McCain. Rush being one of them. Tie him with Hillary and many heads will explode. Pleasurable for us and an epic freakout for them.

Thought so.

Yes, Laffy.

KPed, So THAT'S what those are.

Bill has lost his marbles.

That's interesting. And republicans hate them both. It's a twofer.

Maybe the satellite will fall on Iraq and end the war.
