Hillary should remember the "Tale of the Scorpion"

[AnnieBW]

As a Dem, it really, really makes me uncomfortable to see HRC cozying up to people like Rush Limbaugh, Faux and Friends, and Richard Mellon Scaife. Especially Scaife, who literally accused her of murdering Vince Foster back in the '90's. It reminded me of the old tale of the Scorpion and the Frog.

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream. The scorpion, being a poor swimmer, asks the frog to carry him across the river on his back. The frog asks, "how do I know that you won't sting me?" The scorpion replies, "Because if I do, I will die too."

The frog is satisfied, and they set out across the river. In midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink. He knows that they will both drown. So, he looks up at the scorpion and gasps, "why?" The scorpion replies, "It is my nature."

Beware of making deals with scorpions, Hillary fans. They will always sting you. It is their nature.

1. That's an appropriate fable.....

Scaife is somone I can't understand her and Bill cozying up to. She must have made a deal with the devil for his support.

She is becoming like Joe Liebberman every day.....

2. I think that's more a warning for all of us here

She's a Clinton, it's in her nature.

3. Obama should remember the tale of the tortoise and the hare. nt

4. BWA!

Hey, I have an idea! Maybe if all the Hillary supporters did like a huge group read of that fable at the same time on some predetermined night (the night of the NC and Indiana primaries maybe?), then the magic you create will cause her to miraculously WIN!!!

5. Appropriate since Hillary expected to win on Super Tuesday.

6. Hillary as Obama's VP analogy - rumor is she's considering it. Barack, beware!

Hillary admiting to defeat and, demanding VP ticket?

Carl Bernstein was just on CNN 360 with Anderson Cooper, he mentioned that he spoke to a counselor to Hillary Clinton camp, they admitted that it's a longshot for them to win this election. The odds are they are not going to win it. He is saying it is possible that she can DEMAND to be put on the ticket as VP, and they feel Obama would HAVE to give it to her. This person is saying they know her and this is very feasible.
