THE NEOEST CON:

Sen. Clinton urges punishment for Syria (DEVLIN BARRETT, March 1, 2005, Associated Press)

Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton called Tuesday for tougher punishment against Syria, saying the country was aggressively supporting terrorism in the "dangerous neighborhood" of the Middle East.

In lambasting Syria, Clinton joined a growing chorus of officials in Washington urging the United States to take a harsher stance against that country following a Feb. 14 bombing in Beirut that killed the former premier of Lebanon.

Speaking to the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Clinton branded Syria and Iran bad neighbors bent on upsetting the fragile balance in the region.


You go, ma'am.

Was she wearing boots and if so, what color?

Sandy's right: Condi is Neo.

She was wearing boots. They are just like mine that I put on before I go to the barn. You tuck your pant legs into them so they don't get all full of manure. I'm sure it was getting pretty deep when she was speaking. They are black in colour. (Little English spelling)

Well, at least madam C. is an honest and sincere person.

Too bad Paul Tsongas isn't around to mail her a 'pander bear.'

Hillary's turning so Neo, she and Bill are having a double-date Saturday night for dinner with Irving Kristol and Gertrude Himmelfarb.

She really should drop the Rodham and change her middle name to Pythagorus. But given the state of the rest of her party, you take rational thought whereever you can find it...
