They have things to do.
Hillary is planning on suspending her campaign despite the fact that she won the primary popular vote. Barack Obama was selected by Democratic delegates.
Rep.Charlie Rangel summed it up best. He told reporters, "It's the Sabbath!... Enough said."
Charlie Rangel is Catholic.
It's unfortunate... They'd like to be there... But, things came up.
Poor Hillary is going to be snubbed by her Democratic friends this weekend.
Newsday reported:
Sorry Hillary, they’ve got other plans.Don't let the door hitcha...
The vast majority of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s congressional supporters in New York will be skipping her Saturday drop-out announcement in Washington – citing reasons ranging from town halls back in their districts to campaign obligations to the observation of the Jewish sabbath.
"It’s shabbos, we're not going to be here!" said Queens Rep. Gary Ackerman left)., who baked under the sun during an outdoor Capitol Hill press conference today whose purpose was to give 19 pro-Clinton, no-shows a chance to pay their respects.
Ackerman is Jewish but delegation dean Charles Rangel, who isn’t, added: "It's a Jewish holiday -- enough said."
...In what may be the longest negative RSVP in recent memory, Rangel announced: "Because we are not going to be in session, because of the difficulty in arranging our legislative and political schedules… we thought it would be in the best interests of showing the unequivocal support of what she’s doing… [by] going to our congressional districts this weekend and working hard for the endorsement of the Democratic nominee of these great United States of America."
Poor Hil. I almost pity her. Almost. But I will not miss her, much.
ReplyDeleteLook we go to parties for winners so we can feel upbeat, not to downer parties so we can here "be with me in four years."
ReplyDeleteHillary has betrayed so many people,yet she seems suprised when they betray her.
ReplyDelete"Fast Charlie" Rangel has obviously forgotten the "old Klingon proverb" uttered by Khan in Star Trek II:
ReplyDelete"Revenge is a dish best served cold."
Methinks Hillary will keep her unique brand of revenge on ice until she decides on the best time to dish it out to her erstwhile friends and current enemies. And they should be afraid. Very, very afraid.
Public support of Obama and private guarantees to McCain? I'd bet a sawbuck on it. If the Donks don't believe Hillary would do it, they should remember that even Hitler and Stalin were willing to make deals when their mutual interests coincided.
Well they just got added to the list of Dems who are a disgrace. This will come back to haunt all of them - every Obama supporter, every turn coat. Hillary supporters will not forget the disgraceful orchestraction by Dean, Pelosi and Brazille. So long New Dem Party and Hello John McCain.
