Klunkin' Hillary Stumbles Yet Again!

Egad! 'The Hilly' has "dumm-it" again!

She is SO thoroughly AWKWARD! It's the only conSIStent character-trait I've observed since her 1st dummmie remark, "I don't bake cookies," got her CREAMED all over the country(!); CERTAINLY by all those very proud Arkansas 'Mom-n-Gramma-Bakin'-Homemakers!' One foolishly hoped, THEN, that Klunkin' Hillary would've "gotta BIG picture" & learned a little "decorum!" (Alas, NO!)

I think a permanent 'Broken Ankle' AND 'Broken Elbow' have FOREVER occupied the right side of her mindless brain! Her 'faux pas' are legendary! AND embarrassing! The only 'race' in which she "ompetes" is for the "1st Place Ribbon" amoung the stupidist choices made by her desparate "boss," so far!

How very tiresome has become "Klunkin' Hillary's" predictable slop, no matter WHERE she happens to "splash-down!"

As she continues to ratchet up her gaffs & UN-professional conduct all over the planet, the MERCY nature of her cabinet 'appointment' has not only become CLEER but it NOW glistens like a sweaty wrestler on a losin' STREAK!

"PeeYuu" on the Klunkin' Hill! [And I DO mean that in every available PUN!)

<3 th'Net!

Drought

The Indian drought brings to mind California's current predicament. Its agriculture feeds the world, its economy is the fifth (seventh by now?) largest in the world, and the water wars remind one of the frontier wars fought over water.

Poor Hilary didn't even get a sympathy bump for her arm; she was upstaged again by Ms. Sotomayor's ankle. Guess she's getting used to being one-upped by now.

When Clinton, Obama, Gore, and the rest of the pols pretend they believe

or try to convince us they believe something that is at best debatable (although Al Gore says that there is no debate left), WATCH OUT!!! Did they ever think that India and China and the rest of the growing world would buy into this sanctimonius garbage??? I promise that were this 1850 and were Britain, France, Italy, Russia, and Japan trying to convince us to buy the same thing we would tell them to pound sand.

This Administration is trying to convince us and the rest of the world that even without India, China, and Africa buying in, punishing the US for succeeding in leading in R&D, food production, technical innovation, and avoiding having folks starving in the streets, the US and Europe and Japan and Australia and New Zealand alone can make temperatures drop, waters become prisine, and trees grow. They pretend not to understand that India's and China's governments act in their self-interest while our folks commit suicide.

India will at least call "B.S." on this and tell Hillary that her attitude is insulting and will be ignored. China are wise enough to not even respond to this condesecending hokum. And then China locks up the usual suspects.

Their populations continue to grow and their need to exploit resources---on their land and water and everywhere else---grows. .

Al Gore goes to Australia and sings about pigtail flourescent lights (that seem to be manufactured mostly in China) and little automobiles (that will be coffins on mixed use highways in the US). Waxman shines his pate. Clinton goes to India to bully.

Pathetically---but not surprisingly---Waxman and others sold their colleagues and other assorted nits on an energy plan and did not have the integrity to allow debate or even suggestions of alternatives because he and his West Coasters want only to make the rest of the nation suffer as California suffers.

Why not demand that Pelosi and Reid go home on Greyhound, the reps and sens give up their gas pumps in their office buildings, go on a six months' schedule and turn off air conditioning in their offices and in the bureaucratic offices, and go home from May to the end of October. And do the same thing at the White House. Let them all get jobs at tossing burgers, sweeping streets, birthing babies, answering 911 telephones, quit kissing Obama's tuchas, and stop junketing on my dime. In other words, stop acting like Hamiltonian royalty.

But Bonnie, they won't because they don't have to.

Olbermann, Cooper, Couric, Harry (a non sequitur) Smith, Williams, Limbaugh, Hanniepie, the NYT management, WAPo management, the Cox Sisters, and the rest of the pretend journalists, (who could never hold Cronkite's bedpan or spell "Huntley, "Brinkley," "Morrow," "McGill" could go home and shut up.

India

Guess Al Gore missed the boat. Fact: the greatest negative human impact on Planet Earth is us, TOO MANY PEOPLE! India is STILL one of the most overpopulated nations on the earth. I've been there, and seen the incredible poverty and brutality caused by this insanity. We need to help them limit their numbers, not feed them! PS. Pollution is our legacy, get used to it...

India is kind river friendly inviromental like the hippies

drinking, bathing, brush their teeth, wash their clothes, and even bury their death one they floated them corpse down the river, rich people could have afford to buy wood to set their love one on fire before spread their ash into the river, poor people just throw the whole death body into the river, should see some of that stuff on Youtube amazing eah

Global Economy Melt Down and Global Terrorist Threat

Forclosure houses are reaching an alarming rate and American death told in the War on the Terrorist is rising, well b4 Obama want 2 invade Warizistan and take out western park of Pakistan in middel of Afganistan and Pakistan there is a large part of land mostly make up of bunch of tribe peole, look like American doesn't want to go in there and leave no 1 behind, they got someone hostage isn't it? wtf is American fighting with old age jet like the F-15 Eagle it like almost 20 year in service since the first 1991 war with Sadam, and if Obama talk about using high paid to Mercenary Unit from other countries that would pay more than our regular army then why the heck is Ukraine Private Contractor or another world Mercenary fly to the frontier foward base operation for anyone would know that the during war u would only send elite warior to the front line to do the fighting, they down 1 of them and another fallen out of the sky like the F-15, i'm didn't read about the news or watch it but i hear 1 was and Russian Mi-8 the other was the American Chinook helicopters either one are old monkey models go back to the Vietnam War time. I hope we don't have to pull back like with did with the Serb when they got 3 pow or with the Somali when they got a few American POW, American never really win anywar if they don't fight like the time during Washington, Lincoln, or during WW1, WW2, Russian testing Ballistic Missle and China Military Exercise to pissed of the American, we going to make peace with them, Obama is kinda weird, samething with Iran and North Korea by crushing democracy movement and jail human right reporter to to labor camp. Did Obama belive in Comi doctrine and diplomacy like Nixon that's why he doing business with them? Send more job oversea = more job lost and home lost in USA isn't it that why for closer are hiting sky rocketing rate ya the boss how long should we stay in the sand at the sinking hole before we could figure out or being sank for real. California is really down and out right now no more public park service, no more life guard on the beach, and now no water to washing car if u do they might give u ticket and make u pay fines for wasted water because we are running low on that as well sound like arab people living in the desert eah? Sory if i type too much again but i think it kinda true tho

And your point is?

The way this article is organized (I use the term loosely) and written is so incohesive as to make it impenetrable. The only common thread from one paragraph to the next is India.

Since you took the trouble to quote from once clearly written source citing India's stance on this issue, the least you could have done was to have clarified Secretary Clinton's which is simple and logical. (Oh! Maybe that's why you didn't get it!)

She is saying that our industries began at a time when the technology to avoid pollution did not exist. India can avoid producing the pollution we have in the past. (I say this as a person who remembers soot from trains - we BREATHED that stuff)

As for the Secretary of State herself, she has never been out of the picture and this is not her first trip! Where have you been?

Aura Dawn of Ca.

Not being a hypocrite I don't think even you should have been aborted or "regulated" for population control.

You are a vacuous twit, but human, and therefore deserving of the right to life - as are all humans from conception until a natural death.

one more time apologizing for your own country backfires!

Hillary, Hillary, Hillary...we thought only obama was foolish enough to go overseas and continue to apologize for America and never once mentioning all of the wonderful things we have done for the world! And guess what? Each time obama put down his country HE DID NOT GET WHAT HE CAME FOR! People do not admire elected officials that put down their country! And you in India apologizing for America! What is the matter with you people? That country would never help with the environment when the people asking for it do not even love their own country! You and obama are a disgrace to the American people..we can hardly wait for 2010, 2012 and IMPEACH posters!

Ban-Abortion Schaefer again vs regulating population

India has a long history of outgrowing its food supply. Big families are still too numerous, as proved by the way water tables have fallen. Too many consumers is the obvious reason. Global warming is real and growing worse. Secretary of State Clinton knows some overseas nations have been reprocessing dangerous products that were cast away here. Big families mean cheap labor, and many companies built factories to take advantage of that miserable fact. If the USA were socialistic, we would have affordable utilities and tax-paid healthcare for everyone-- like that enjoyed by the military and congress. Mrs. Clinton had a broken arm recently.
