1. Wouldn't it be great if the women got this thing worked out?

I am SO looking forward to HRC going forth in the world to give her best effort at peaceful resolutions...

2. What is Hilary suggesting a good lawyer ?

If left to her own devices I am sure she would be, thankfully however she's under supervision.

3. That could be a bit hardball politics, if you think about it.

Do Ms Livni and Ms Clinton have any history between them?

4. According to Ha'aretz it was hardball politics

However didn't Hilary and Tzipi meet late last spring or early summer when Hilary was still a hopeful for thr Democratic nomination, I remember seeing a picture of them and IMO they kind of look alike really Livni could be Clinton's much younger sister.

5. Yeah, that fits. Everybody made the pilgrimage.

I forgot.

6. I meant the offer of a good lawyer (could be hardball politics).

Sometimes I'm too elliptic. Sometimes I talk too much.

7. I knew thats what you meant

my comment was entirely snark however I should have used the appropriate smilie however

As far as making the "pilgrimage" could we cal it the American political hajj?

8. OOPs. I'm gullible too.

Yeah, you could call it political hajjiography.

9. Have you looked at President Obama's and Mr Mitchell's statements yet?

I'm fairly well impressed.
