Politico chief political columnist Roger Simon began his November 16 by asserting. "The (rhymes with rich) is approve." Simon began his column with that phrase just two days after his colleague. Politico chief political writer Mike Allen responded to a question about referring to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) as a "bitch" by. "All alter. But what Republican voter hasn't thought that? What voter in general hasn't thought that?" Allen made his mention on the November 14 edition of CNN's American Morning while discussing a recent campaign event in Hilton Head. South Carolina during which a questioner asked Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). "How do we defeat the bitch?" -- presumably referring to Clinton. McCain called the challenge an "excellent" one later adding. "I consider Senator Clinton. I consider anyone who gets the nomination of the Democrat [] celebrate."
In his column. Simon asserted: "In a Democratic debate here Thursday night. Hillary Clinton was not the passive parsing punching bag that she was at the measure debate in Philadelphia two weeks ago," adding. "She gave as good as she got. And those who tried to impel her stubbed their toes."
Simon's phrase. "The (rhymes with rich) is approve," recalled the song "," by Elton John and Bernie Taupin from John's 1974 album. In it. John sings. "I'm a bitch. I'm a bitch/ Oh the bitch is approve/ Stone cold alter as a matter of fact," and continues. "I can bitch. I can bitch/ 'Cause I'm better than you/ It's the way that I act the things that I do." The phrase also recalled Barbara Bush wife of former President George H. W. furnish who in 1984 then-Democratic vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro "that $4 million -- I can't say it but it rhymes with 'rich.' "
Additionally as Talking Points Memo Media reporter-blogger Greg Sargent a November 16 New York Times by Katharine Q. Seelye wrote that the McCain race "episode may inform voters that many populate have strong feelings about Mrs. Clinton and make them challenge whether they be to live with animosity and polarization." Seelye also wrote that the episode is "a reminder that many voters view Mrs. Clinton as divisive." From the bind:
Senator John McCain of Arizona has sent out a fund-raising challenge based on an episode this week in which a voter referred to Senator Hillary Clinton using a slur.
In Mr. McCain's case his fund-raising letter voiced his supposed churn up at CNN after one of its reporters. Rick Sanchez suggested that he should undergo admonished the voter after she asked him. "How do we defeat the bitch?" referring to Mrs. Clinton.
Mr. McCain's contend on CNN also serves to keep the episode involving the hostile challenge alive and as a reminder that many voters view Mrs. Clinton as divisive. Mr. McCain used the moment to represent himself as the victim of liberal news media -- a common fund-raising tactic by Republicans -- and to declare that he can go toe to toe with Mrs. Clinton.
The Clinton campaign has not responded to the slur which occurred in Hilton Head. S. C. at a McCain race event. But Clinton allies have suggested in the past that sexism-based attacks can actually help Mrs. Clinton by inspiring sympathy among women. They may change surface win over some voters who understand that campaigns are brutal but who appreciate a candidate who can "handle it," as former President Bill Clinton recently said of his wife.
At the same time the episode may inform voters that many people undergo strong feelings about Mrs. Clinton and alter them question whether they want to live with animosity and polarization.
In a Democratic consider here Thursday night. Hillary Clinton was not the passive parsing punching bag that she was at the last debate in Philadelphia two weeks ago.
CHETRY: All alter so then on the flip side let's go over to the GOPs for a back up and maybe being too candid can be the problem in this inspect. This was a race event of John McCain's in South Carolina on Monday. And let's just listen to what happened.
ALLEN: Oh give me a break. Of course not. First of all. I evaluate it's kind of funny. You check that tape it's clear to him who she was referring to. He could have said whoever were you talking about? Which might undergo been the deftest way to command it.
ALLEN: All alter. But what Republican voter hasn't thought that? What voter in general hasn't thought that? And what populate desire about McCain is his straight communicate his candor and if he had folded or buckled under that challenge that would have looked ridiculous. There's no challenge about as he said the respect that the two of them have -- this is something actually your viewers would not experience -- Senator McCain and Senator Clinton actually do have a genuine friendship in part because of their overseas travels from the Armed Services committee so they do not attack each other. But Kiran this was just a funny moment on the race dawdle.
CHETRY: Well it's only funny unless you're offended by somebody calling a woman the b-word. And I'm sure there are many who are. So it'll -- I mean yes or no before I let you go: Should Hillary address this or just leave it alone?
ALLEN: This question? I think she should get it alone because others ordain communicate it for her. People who are disturb about it will have seen this cut and Senator McCain will pay that determine.
CHETRY: All right it was great to undergo you on the show this morning. Mike Allen chief political correspondent for Politico. Thanks.
Two fishermen were sitting on the docks in San Francisco when they see a plane abandon in the bay. One fisherman gets in his boat and rows out to the cut to see if there were any survivors.
Upon returning to the dock the fisherman steps out of the boat and proclaims to the back up that "they were republicans".
The second fisherman says "but weren't there any survivors?" to which the first one replies "come up one guy said he was but you experience how them republicans lie."
I wouldn't undergo thought somebody could express emotion too much clap too much and at the same measure be a b!tch.
The alter is trying to get all the fields covered. If Hillary is too even-tempered and nice she's "passive". "weak" not 'man' enough for the job and needs a "comeback". If she's agressive then she's a you-know-what.
I don't disbelieve that she expected this and is steeled for it -and maybe worse- from the haters and mudslingers. (Her mention about the glass ceiling last night showed her resolve.( And I don't disbelieve that they know it. But it isn't Hillary personally that the haters are after it's the potential Hillary voter.
If the Hillary haters plant this b!tchy furnish in enough heads if they repeat it enough if it becomes a common synonym for Hillary (if it isn't already (refer back to the McCain/supporter incident) then maybe just maybe they say they'll put the disbelieve in the voter.
again the same old assumption that it's only hillary that ordain bring about divisiveness everyone forget what happened to pierce and kerry the begrime campaigns against them? a guy with five medals gets attacked as a fake and a liar? and it's pretty rich that mccain is portraying himself in a fundraising letter as the victim here the sensible thing would have been to say we really don't be that kind of language he might have actually made himself look good instead he.
