Stephen Colbert Weights in on Hillary’s “Post Primary” Behavior

As Denver and the Democratic National Convention that will take the city over just a few short weeks from now have seemed to trigger somewhat of a “reload” which has Hillary Clinton supporters doing what they do best - making demands: some want Hillary to somehow get all those delegates supporting Obama to just, ya know - “change their minds,” and decide Hillary should be the Democratic candidate, while others are less demanding (basically the lesser of two evils) is crying out for a roll call vote on the convention floor with Hillary’s name on the ballot. This of course is the equivalent to the New England Patriots demanding a shot in sudden death overtime after the clock hit zero, and the Giants had won.
So with all of this irrational banter spewing from just about every orifice of media (the internet, TV, newspapers, etc, etc.) who better then Stpehen Colbert to weigh in on the topic, and provide us with some of that superior intellect he has become famous for.
Here is a video clip that has Stephen Colbert discussing the upcoming Democratic National Convention, as well as any alterior motives Bill and Hillary might have for their spotlight roles as part of the convention, and of course Colberts unique, “cut through the fat” analysis of the situation as a whole:
“They’re Baaack”: John Stewart on the Clinton’s Return
August 8, 2008
I try not to do multiple clips a day that come from the same show - but every once and a while it is out of my control, and frankly the scenes are so good that I simply don’t have a choice in the matter and am forced to post two or three. That’s the case today with Comedy Centrals “The Daily Show w/ John Stewart”, where I posted a clip earlier and now am posting a second.
So while I am double dipping in regards to the ole video content, I think that you will see why I had no other option when deciding to toss it up or not. It really is that funny.
Watch Stewart chronicle the Clinton’s return, or attempted return, to the Presidential fray in a way that only John Stewart can:
Is Colorado the New Ohio? How the Rocky Mountain Swing State Could Decide the Election
July 14, 2008
There has been a lot of talk regarding the electoral map “swing states” as of late. A particular focus has been put on Ohio, Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania and Missouri all states where the current polls are close, but reflect similar numbers at this time back in 2000 and 2004. That is why electoral experts have begun to believe that Colorado will ultimately decide the 2008 election - and this is not an assertion that should be taken lightly either. Those arguing that Colorado is very likely in deciding the ‘08 election have quite a compelling argument on their side - one that makes more and more sense as each day passes, and state polls are released.
New Group of Radical Left Wingers Plan to Usher in Chaos at the Democratic Convention
July 12, 2008
There seems to be a new group of “wing nuts” emerging from the filth of the extreme left, and according to their “leaders”, or whatever you want to call them (personally, I usually go with ‘pathetic’) are promising to “overthrow Obama” at the upcoming Democratic National Convention set to take place in Denver, Colorado next month. The Denver based group (at least they won’t have to travel far) refer to themselves as The Denver Group, and their motto is; “Keeping the Democratic party democratic.” The only problem is that they are successfully aiding the Republican party, and in doing so, are increasing the GOP’s chances of getting that third term they want so bad.
Howard Wolfson Signs on With FOX News
July 7, 2008
This is starting to look more like a trend then anything else. Today it was announced that Howard Wolfson, one of Hillary Clinton’s senior campaign advisers, will join Fox News Channel as a contributor. This makes Howard the second “senior Clinton official” to join the network - Lanny Davis accepted a position literally hours after the primary concluded, and I must say has been a perfect fit over on the dark side with Roger Ailes and company.
How Twenty Something Year Olds, Facebook, Myspace, etc. are Changing the Face of Politics
July 7, 2008
The 2008 Election is seeing something that no other Presidential race thus far has been privy too - a massive influx of the “youth vote” and the tool they are using to get involved. The internet. It has been well documented that throughout the Democratic the “Millennials” turned out to vote in numbers up until now, no one could have imagined, and the key to a lot of this “involvement” has been the internet - which has transformed from just a way to instant message your friends or check an e-mail, to a vital networking and grassroots mobilization platform.
“Say It Ain’t So”: Supposed Group of Angry Clinton Supporters, PUMA Outted for Being Owned & Operated by Republicans
July 1, 2008
Well I have to tip my hate to the founders of P.U.M.A. (Party Unity my Ass), the group who claimed to be adamant Hillary supporters, and since her primary defeat have now decided to take their “democratic brand” over to the GOP, and John McCain. These folks had a lot of people fooled, including the mainstream media who seemingly couldn’t get enough “on air” interviews with PUMA members (FOX was especially privy to the group). However, we now know that PUMA’s founders, organizers, and leadership is comprised of McCain supporters (surprise, surprise).
New Vanity Fair Article: “A Clinton Campaign Insiders Look at What Went Wrong…”
June 30, 2008
The upcoming issue of Vanity Fair features an article penned by Gail Sheehy, a Hillary Clinton biographer, as well as a established author. Sheehy writes about the conversations, admissions, finger pointing, and everything else brought up during her numerous interviews with Clinton campaign insiders, and their assertions of what went wrong. Sheehy also recants brief conversations she had with Hillary along the campaign trail, about everything ranging from superdelegates, to fighting all the way up until the convention.
“Their First Conversation”: Barack Obama & Bill Clinton Finally Meet
June 30, 2008
WASHINGTON - The silence between Barack Obama and Bill Clinton has been broken, with the Democratic White House hopeful on Monday asking the former president to campaign for him during their first conversation since the heated primary.
Bill Clinton was often Obama’s harshest Democratic critic, trying to bring down the Illinois senator as his candidacy surpassed former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton’s. While Hillary Clinton has begun to help Obama by encouraging her supporters to back his campaign, a chill remained between the last Democratic president and the man running to be the next one.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton said they had a “terrific conversation” and that Obama is honored to have the former president’s support.
“He has always believed that Bill Clinton is one of this nation’s great leaders and most brilliant minds, and looks forward to seeing him on the campaign trail and receiving his counsel in the months to come,” Burton said.
Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna said the former president renewed his offer - expressed in a one-sentence statement last week - to do whatever he can to ensure Obama wins the presidency.
“President Clinton continues to be impressed by Senator Obama and the campaign he has run, and looks forward to campaigning for and with him in the months to come,” McKenna said. “The president believes that Senator Obama has been a great inspiration for millions of people around the country and he knows that he will bring the change America needs as our next president.”
Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said the senator called Clinton after Obama landed in Missouri Monday morning, and they spoke for about 20 minutes. Gibbs said Obama asked Clinton to campaign with him and separately.
“I believe he’s excited to do it,” Gibbs told reporters traveling with Obama.

Obama, the ‘Youth Vote’ Supporting Him & the Impact they’ll Have in Nov.
June 28, 2008
Throughout the Democratic primary there was one demographic who really didn’t waver in their support of Sen. Barack Obama regardless of what their region, race, or religion was - I am of course talking about the always coveted, but equally equally as absent ‘youth vote.’ Politicians have been trying forever to really mobilize the youth, throughout the years candidates have attempted everything imaginable too mobilize the youth vote on their behalf, however none have really been successful in doing so. Well, that is until now.
