And how much is the Republican Party paying you?

@xanadu,
the Republicans don't have to pay anyone to take Hillary down, Obama is doing a fine job all by himself.
Clap clap point point.

You said: It is sexual harassment in the workplace when a superior comes on to his/her employee.
Sorry but you are wrong. It would be sexual harrassment if it were persistent in the face of rejection. What is inappropriate and what is sexual harrassment are not exactly the same. Monica was the age of consent and everything we know about the relationship indicates that, at the time, she was not only willing but enthusiastic. Not all workplace relationships between superiors and their employees and/or volunteers constitutes sexual harrassment.

@AKA Smith
if you wouldn't find it inherently coercive if you were in the Oval Office and the president opened his pants and directed you to suck his cock, well, I guess I am glad I don't work for you.

Not according to what is posted over at mydd.com:

Bets are on that you're a Republican shill.

Madame Defarge, You disappoint me so much!
You have "put the cart before the horse" because I never called you a leprechaun. That's reserved for Irish people, didn't you know? It's incredibly witty and cerebral, of course. Nonetheless, you are extremely well-informed on Obama's foreign policy team but I was wondering about the man himself. The "poster" who likes bees (It's a bit late now to check the name and you probably don't want to know anyway), suggested outsourcing your Presidency. I was thinking about some of the political dopes here for the job but you are in enough of a mess without having them inflicted on you and there would be too many technicalities. However, you might consider outsourcing Obama's foreign policy team as two of them have names I think I've seen before. Haven't they been around the block a few times? What's the good of having a President who knows nothing about foreign policy and has to rely on a "team"? It reminds me of George W. Bush too much but it's nice to know that he's in Tanzania just now and that he's big in Africa. "A prophet knows not honour in his own land" or something like that.
Madame Defarge, on the question of clinical terminology, I'm sorry to have to tell you that you've evaded the issue, although you were in full flow about poor old Bill who now likes to go tobed early with a milky drink and just a tincture of bourbon. They used to say here that "There's many a good tune played on an old fiddle" but that's just men boasting. I was hoping to get your profound thoughts about the influence of women on Obama's life - a book might be too much to hope for, I suppose. I'm not into this "feminist" thing very much as I tend to resist categorisation but I would like you to be impartial about this, as you have harped on Bill's dysfunctional relationship with women quite a bit, haven't you. "Periodically", "The Periodic Table" and so forth.. Who cares, although it's a clumsy use of words for such a silver-tongued charmer. What is needed is nitty-gritty, brass tacks, or whatever expression is most suitable but just let Bill alone as he nods off, dreaming of all the wild oats he's sown or imagines he has. JFK had more than a roving eye too but we must'nt talk about that - "De mortuis nil nisi bonum". Cheers.

@xanadu,
Maybe there's no right-wing conspiracy (by the way, you're going to have to do a little better than citing to a pro-Hillary blog entry which cites, and I quote, "anecdotal evidence" as its best source). Maybe it's that people, on the right AND on the left, are fed up with the Clintons and want to get rid of them. The enemy of the enemy is my friend, and all that. And I find it particularly ironic that the Clintons, those master triangulators, are now on the brink of being "triangulated" right out of the race.
Or maybe I am a Republican shill. We'll never know, just like we'll never know whether you're Chelsea Clinton herself. That's the beauty of the Internet. Ideas are exchanged. And my idea is that Hillary Clinton is John McCain in a pantsuit. If you think that Hillary is immune to critique from the left, well, I don't know quite how to break it to you, but...

Wow, gosh, people right and left! Not that Clinton isn't a major contender either with people left and right who like her very much. But, of course, that doesn't count. No, everybody hates her!
And, BTW, that pro-Hillary blog was originated by a man who voted for Obama. And there's a tad more than just anecdotal evidence there as demonstrated by voter change logs in those elections. So, what happens when all of those so-called Obama voters go back to being Republican in November? Bye, bye Presidency to McCain. Just what Rove ordered.

@Malthust
As a feminist, I'm going to answer your question.
Bill Clinton represents that close male friend you love as a friend, but you also steer your girlfriends clear of him romantically (unless she's only looking for a robust one night stand). Just because he is not "boyfriend material" doesn't make him any less of buddy.

@xanadu,
Even if there were a concerted effort by Republicans to interfere with the race in favor of Obama (rather than, as your beloved "anecdotal evidence" would indicate, simply sporadic and individual instances of independent or Republican voters being drawn to Obama), do you think that no Republican is trying to game the primary in favor of Hillary?
Callers to Rush Limbaugh's talk show often say they will vote for her, because they (rightly) perceive her to be easier to beat in November (the polls confirm this), and Limbaugh himself has said he might donate to her. Ann Coulter says Hillary is farther to the right than John McCain.

I'm really not sure what you're trying to prove. Yes, Obama is trying to get all the support he can from every voter. If that constitutes some sort of nefarious plot, then... OK, it's a nefarious plot. Hillary is trying to get all the support she can, too. Since her campaign is so broke that she's funding it herself, I'm sure she'd welcome a donation by Rush Limbaugh.
