Hillary as Sgt Schultz : 'I Know Nothing'

Well, the whole photo of Barack Obama being leaked by the Clinton campaign to Drudge business has taken an interesting turn.

The candidate herself was asked by an ABC affiliate about it.

Call it Hillary's 'Hogan's Heroes' moment.

Sgt Schultz used to say, 'I know notheeng, I see notheeng, I hear notheeng.'

Here's Hillary's response about the Drudge photo flap :

'I know nothing about it.'

EXCEPT - she immediately adds :

'This is in the public domain.'

D'oh !  If you 'know nothing about it' then how would you know that 'this is in the public domain' ? !

ABC News' Teddy Davis and Jacqueline Klingebiel Report: During a Monday interview with ABC's Dallas affiliate, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., did not flatly deny the DrudgeReport's charge that her campaign leaked a photo of rival Barack Obama in traditional African dress.

  •  Sgt Schultz ,

    Was a good guy !

    When you hear someone say something figurative and then hold them to a literal truth definition ?

•  Listening to Clintons response...

  left me believeing she was lying. It just sounded phony and rehearsed.

  •  Do you know of link to video ?

    I have only read quotes, haven't seen her response on video.

    by RobertInWisconsin on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 03:49:43 PM PDT

    •  Haven't seen any video...

      just heard it a few minutes ago on Nova M radio.

  •  "believeing" ?

    "It just sounded phony and rehearsed."
    Every last thing she says is endlessly picked apart .

•  Here is the first

  Time I find it as smear.  This published on Feb 4th.  The original article of his trip came out in 2006.

  •  and for those of us who look for fun photos

    of all the candidates, I never came across that photo ever.  I am surprised considering I have some good kid pics of both Hillary and Obama and some really funny photoshops I found too.  Never saw that one at all.

•  He's wearing traditional Somali clothes, not

  a friggin' Islamic extremist's suicide vest and 'death to America' t-shirt.

  The Clinton campaign circulated that photo?  They really do have no shame.

  by darthstar on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 03:50:27 PM PDT

  •  He-who-must-not-be-named

    said he has the e-mail - maybe he will provide documentation ? Should be relatively easy to find out who was the culprit if in fact someone in her camp did circulate it.

    by RobertInWisconsin on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 03:52:20 PM PDT

  •  "The Clinton campaign circulated that photo?"

    They did not circulated that photo !

    by indycam on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 03:53:39 PM PDT

  •  You have no shame

    The Clinton campaign circulated that photo?  They really do have no shame.

    No, they have stated that they didn't.  You believe Drudge over a Democratic leader?

    ObamaKos is rapidly becoming ObamaDrudge.

    by markusd on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 03:54:17 PM PDT

    •  They replied

      that they did not know because they have over 700 campaign workers and they can't keep track of what all of them do.

      by Kitty on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 03:57:05 PM PDT

      •  Sounds reasonbale to me...

        Why is it so easy to believe that Hillary Clinton had nothing to do with it and no knowledge of it being done?  Why would you believe the vague reference by Drudge of all people, to some anonymous campaign associate?  I really don't understand!

        by PamelaD on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 04:03:47 PM PDT

        •  and "reasonable" as well... ; >!

          by PamelaD on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 04:05:13 PM PDT

      •  And they ain't asking, either.

        It's not a denial so much as deniability at the top.  Yeah, HRC.  Making a disorganized, haphazard, badly managed campaign work for you.

        by Inland on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 04:07:58 PM PDT

        •  'Public Domain' = Plausible Deniability

          by RobertInWisconsin on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 04:08:44 PM PDT

      •  What will they say if they're

        ever in charge of a huge federal beauracracy?

        Can we ask about management?

        by CrawfordMan on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 04:15:13 PM PDT

      •  I read once that HRC worked, however briefly,

        on an Alaskan fishing boat. She quit, saying something like, "Fish rot from the head down."

        by CrawfordMan on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 04:21:47 PM PDT

    •  Well, the candidate herself did NOT deny it

      and furthermore said 'I know nothing about it' followed immediately by 'It's in the public domain' which is an absolutely bizarre thing to say !

      by RobertInWisconsin on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 03:57:51 PM PDT

      •  She also today compared Obama to G W Bush

        and said he was inexperienced and UNWISE.

        "We've seen the tragic result of having a president who had neither the experience nor the wisdom to manage our foreign policy and safeguard our national security. We can't let that happen again," she said.

        Geez, Hillary, YOU gave G W Bush authorization to invade Iraq and benefit of the doubt on Iran.

        •  re

          That's rich.

          Oh, Hillary, desperation does not become you.

          by cookiesandmilk on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 04:09:29 PM PDT

          •  She sounds almost exactly like Giuliani

            now.  Basically saying that Obama won't protect America's national security.

            Didn't Cheney say that if Kerry was elected we'd be 'hit again' ?

            Pathetic.

            by RobertInWisconsin on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 04:10:27 PM PDT

        •  Hillary has a love/hate relationship with bush.

          She loves to use him as political fodder, saying she wants to change his failed policies (though she also cites him as a valid source of support for her solution to the housing crisis).

          And she hates to think that he may not be enough of a catalyst to help her defeat Obama.

          by darthstar on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 04:22:25 PM PDT

          •  she wants to change his failed policies

            She says the same thing about her husband, too. NAFTA, Don't ask-don't tell, Defense of Marriage Act, etc, etc, and even her own failed attempt with Health Care.

•  Her campaign so disorganized

  maybe she's telling the truth.

  by Inland on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 04:06:25 PM PDT

  •  Except she had to fire 2 or 3 Iowa people

    for circulating the Muslim/madrassa e-mail smear last month . . .

    by RobertInWisconsin on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 04:09:19 PM PDT

•  Sigh.

  Why am I not surprised?  I am not sure what pisses me off more, her baseless smears against a fellow Democrat or her inability to take responsibility for the smears.  Seriously, she is demonstrating more and more that she is not qualified to be PoTUS.

•  'I Know Nothing'

  Hillary as Sgt Schultz : 'I Know Nothing'

  And all she remembers about NAFTA is "a bunch of charts". Oh yeah, and she never remembers meeting "Obama's 'slumlord' friend".

  

  Seems to be there's a lot she "doesn't remember. I don't think it's a good idea to elect someone to run the country who has that bad of a memory.

    All these folks meet lots of people, get pix taken, and legitimately don't have any knowledge or recollection of it.

    •  Unfair

      Yeah, I know. Holding Hillary to the same standards as she holds Barack is so "Unfair". Whether it be about plagiarizing other people's words, or whatever, IOKIYHC (It's OK if you're Hillary Clinton).

      by William Domingo on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 05:22:34 PM PDT

      •  Careful

        During his career up to now, and definitely during this campaign, Obama has had is picture taken with many, many, many people. Between now and November it is quite possible that one of those people in a photograph will have turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, a snake in the grass, an embezzler, or something worse.

  she took training from her hubby.  She does it just as badly.  Bravo, Hillary.

  When, oh when will be finally be done with the Clintons??!?!?
