Thank goodness SOMEONE is up there giving us the real scoop! :)

2. Yeah, poor choice of words. She should have said implement.

I thought the same thing when she said it; sounded as if she was breaking 20's or something.

[aquart]

3. Finally. Hillary Clinton used the wrong phrase.

Even though the meaning was correct. Got it. Should we behead her?

[Avalux]

6. Nah.

It did occur to me someone would make a funny out of it, that's all. :hi:

[hiaasenrocks]

8. Settle down now. There's plenty of satire to go around.

[The Magistrate]

4. That Is A Cold Line, Sir: I Like It

[Graybeard]

7. "35 years of change"

This has to be the WTF non sequitur quote of the 2008 election. :wtf:

9. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the board of the Legal Services Corporation

[hiaasenrocks]

11. What's the rest of that sentence?

[still_one]

14. I am siimply pointing out that she was involved in positions that helped

disadvantaged people for quite some time, and to brush off the 35 years as nothing, I am not sure is accurate

[hiaasenrocks]

18. It's a humor/satire column.

Sorry you missed it. :(

[still_one]

22. Things aren't very funny for me with the state of affairs in the world today

No, I am not a Hillary supporter, but trying to dis a person's entire life with a few cute remarks, just isn't funny to me

Yes, they do it to all the candidates, and the candidates do it to each other

Here is a synopsis of her life:

10. I thought of that old Saturday Night Live commercial for "The Change Bank"

I imagined Hillary saying "Hey, you can give me ten dollars and I can give you back two fives, a five and five singles, or ten singles. Whatever you want. I'm flexible and attuned to people's needs."

[hiaasenrocks]

12. LOL! Classic SNL commercial. Good call.

[Mind_your_head]

13. ROTFLMAO - Dave says it PERFECTLY:

"Until you have heard major Democratic contenders, you do not realize how many times it is possible to use the word ''change'' in a single speech. They're in a big fight over who will be the best changer. At one point, Clinton, sounding like a veteran toll-booth attendant, said, ``I've been making change for 35 years.''"

:rofl: :spray:

Thanks for pointing this column out hiaasenrocks! :-) :thumbsup:

[hiaasenrocks]

21. He's doing at least one column a day from NH until Weds.

Enjoy them at the Miami Herald's website! :)

24. Thanks for the heads up on his column - will look for it! n/t

15. When I was a kid growing up near Kansas City

there was this constantly running radio advertisement for a local restaurant.

The tag line was "XXX: A new and exciting restaurant, over 60 years old".

Not only the irony of the advertisement, but they ran it for well over a decade. That's a double irony.

"Making change for 35 years".

[Beelzebud]

16. LMAO

[Deja Q]

17. Well, if she wore the same clothes every day for 35 years, she'd stink to high heaven...

Come to think of it, clothes don't make the person as much as how well they can flip-flop... :evilgrin:

[Yael]

19. Dave Barry is a riot.

:rofl:

[nonconformist]

20. I love Dave Barry!

[SaveOurDemocracy]
