Thank you Hillary Clinton for supporting Obama in his time of need.

I don't know what all the fuss is about at DailyKos in the past 24 hours.  Obama has made a few comments which he has admitted were perhaps worded badly.  Hillary has come out and has given him 100% support for the comments.  And yet, at DailyKos, Senator Clinton is being raked over the coals by people who obviously do appreciate how she has gone out of her way in the past couple of days to back Obama.

Perhaps a quick refresher course on how to interpret "Hillary Comments" will help you cement-heads who are "hating on her" right now.

When Hillary says:

"I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base,"

She means that she landed in safe conditions, had a lovely greeting ceremony at the airport, and leisurely strolled to her vehicle.

When Hillary says:

"I helped to bring peace to Northern Ireland."

She means that she didn't actually help to bring peace to Northern Ireland.

So, when Hillary says:

"Sen. Obama's remarks are elitist and out of touch. They are not reflective of the values and beliefs of Americans, certainly not the Americans I know, not the Americans I grew up with, not the Americans I lived with in Arkansas or represent in New York."

Any clear-minded person trained as a translator of "Hillary-speak" will see this as a complete and unequivocal endorsement of Obama's comments.

  •  If my tower wasn't so high in the clouds

    You would be able to hear me snickering sardonically.  I can see the roof of your tower waaayyy down there and I'm spitting the seeds from my fine, exclusive orange juice off my railing onto you.

  •  Hysterical -- but perhaps sadly true

    that Obama will need a lot of help out of this one.

    Too bad, of course, that the best one to speak for him now would not be Hillary but Bill, who really came from the small-town culture and poverty.

    But when Obama threw Bill under the bus months ago, he lost our best vote-getter in decades.  And if Obama is the nominee, he can't use Bill for the same reason.  It's sad and bad for the Dems.  But there 'tis.

•  So, when Hillary is taped praising how

  wonderful Wal-Mart is, and how proud she is of all they do (apparently the case with some of the newly available video), she is really condemning them for their unfair labor practices and undercutting of American manufacturers? And two and two equals five now? Sorry, she's not that good a liar. More and Better Liars, I say!
