Hillary's secret

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

SHORT AND FAT BUT SHE STILL MANAGED TO CON MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.

REACHED FOR COMMENT THIS EVENING BY THESE REPORTERS, CRANKY CLINTON EXPLAINED THE SECRET OF HER SUCCESS.

"LIE," SHE EXPLAINED. "LIE FREQUENTLY. LIE OFTEN. LIE BOLDLY. JUST LIE. IF YOU LIE, YOU WILL BE BELIEVED. TRUST ME. OR DON'T. MAYBE I'M LYING. CAN YOU TELL? OF COURSE YOU CAN'T. BECAUSE I AM THE BEST LIAR IN THE WORLD."

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

So what might a Hillary Clinton presidency look like on the evening news?

Andrea Mitchell: Good evening, I'm Andrea Mitchell and this is NBC NIGHTLY NEWS WITH LESTER HOLT. Lester is off tonight. Our top story? Former president Bill Clinton refuses to vacate the White House. First up, we go to NBC analyst and host of MEET THE PRESS Chuck Todd. Chuck?

Chuck Todd: Andrea, they're calling it 14 Days of Do-Nothing.

Andrea Mitchell: Who's calling it that, Chuck?

Chuck Todd: Just me, so far, but I'm really hoping this catchs on. It was 14 days ago that the world learned of Bill Clinton's affair with actress Bernadette Troy. The scandal continues because of the inaction on the part of the White House and, today, Ms. Troy's announcement today that she will be selling copies of a sex tape with First Gentleman Bill Clinton.

Andrea Mitchell: Now is this 'alleged sex tape' or has anyone actually viewed it?

Chuck Todd: Thus far, no one has viewed it. At midnight, it will begin selling and streaming at iTunes and Amazon.

Andrea Mitchell: And there has been no response as of yet to the announcement or the affair. Thank you, Chuck. We'll come back to Chuck later in the program but for now we go to NBC News correspondent Michelle Kosinski who was at the White House earlier today when President Hillary Clinton was joined by UK Prime Minister David Cameron to address the issue of Iran's nuclear program. But the only questions were about Bernadette Troy. Michelle?

Michelle Kosinski: You are correct on that, Andrea. Finally facing a group of reporters, President Clinton was on the White House lawn this afternoon. The press was told that she would speak and then Mr. Cameron would make a few remarks. There would be no questions. Someone, Andrea, forgot we have a free press.

Footage of President Hillary Clinton and David Cameron standing at a podium.

President Hillary Clinton: And so it is for this reason that we are giving Iran an ultmatium. They have until midnight --

Reporter 1: What about the sex tape!

Reporter 2: Have you seen the sex tape, Madam President!

Reporter 3: Are you and the First Gentleman sharing the same bedroom still!

Reporter 4: Do you forgive him?

Michelle Kosinski: President Clinton's remarks on Iran were a footnote to today's event. Clearly, America wants to know what is going on. More to the point, they want an answer to that lonely cry: "Do you forgive him?" Back to you, Andrea.

Andrea Mitchell: Thank you, Michelle, for that report. To grasp what it all means, we go back to NBC news analyst Chuck Todd. Chuck, you heard Michelle's report. What do you make of it?

Chuck Todd: Clearly on Day 14 of Do-Nothing, the American people want answers. They need answers. Remember, this is not the first time Bill Clinton has cheated on the president. But this is the first time it's happened -- or known to have happened -- since Hillary Clinton was sworn in as president.

Andrea Mitchell: And what does it mean exactly?

Chuck Todd: Exactly? My sources say that this was more than just a Lewinski -- much more. There was penetration --

Andrea Mitchell: No, Chuck, what does it mean for the country?

Chuck Todd: I think what the American people are asking is, "Do you forgive him?" Does President Clinton forgive her husband Bill?

Andrea Mitchell: Thank you for breaking that down, Chuck. We now go to entertainment correspondent and TODAY SHOW host Savannah Guthrie. Savannah, the whole country still wants to know who Bernadine Troy is?

Savannah Guthrie: Well, Andrea, Bernadette Troy in Meadville, Pennsylvania in 1988 and went on to a notable career with an episode of DONNY!, a background player on BEST TIME EVER WITH NEIL PATRICK HARRIS! and contributions to many other shows that ended with an exclamation point. Troy is possibly most recognized for her work with Tom Beregon on infomercials.

Andrea Mitchell: So she is acclaimed in her field?

Savannah Guthrie: Yes, that is correct. One observer said, and I'm quoting, "Bernadette is like a young Charo or Joey Heatheron before the drugs."

Chuck Todd: I said that! Andrea, I said that.

Andrea Mitchell: NBC News analyst Chuck Todd. Chuck, I understand that you are now being cited as an expert on this topic?

Chuck Todd: Yes, Andrea that is correct. Now --

Andrea Mitchell: Excuse me, Chuck, we have Richard Engel standing by. NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel. Richard, are you there?

Richard Engel: Yes, Andrea, I am there or, rather, I am here in downtown Baghdad where protests are breaking out across the region and the root cause of it may be the latest affair of former president Bill Clinton. In Tehran, the protesters carried signs stating "YANKEE DEVIL WATCH WHERE YOU POKE THAT THING" while in Damascus some signs proclaimed, "YANKEE DEVIL STOP YOUR FORNICATION."

Andrea Mitchell: And, Richard, I understand that some foreign governments are watching this situation very closely.

Richard Engel: Well in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, leader Kim Jong Un has said that President Hillary Clinton has been bloodied on the world stage insisting that her paralysis on the issue of her marriage is reflective of her larger failure to act on the world stage. He declared today, and I quote, "Yankee devil Hillary is weak and now is the time to destroy the United States."

Andrea Mitchell: Chuck, analysis?

Chuck Todd: It would appear President Clinton is being seen as a, quote, "Yankee devil."

Andrea Mitchell: Insight! We'll be right back after these commercial messages.

"THIS JUST IN! CAUGHT LYING AGAIN!"

"She's a liar and senile"

She's a liar and senile

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

CRANKY CLINTON CAN'T STOP LYING.

SHE'S BEEN CAUGHT AGAIN SAYING SHE DID NOT KNOW WHERE BERNIE SANDERS WAS WHEN SHE WAS LEADING HER LOSING BATTLE ON HEALTHCARE.

TURNS OUT, HE WAS RIGHT BEHIND HER.

SO SHE'S A LIAR AND SENILE.

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Oh, how the US government manipulates information.

Wednesday, Cheryl Pellerin with DOD News or Propaganda, wrote the following:

Leaders of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant who are captured by the Expeditionary Targeting Force and held for questioning will be detained by the force only for short periods of time and the detention will be coordinated with Iraqi authorities, a Pentagon spokesman said today.
Navy Capt. Jeff Davis told defense reporters here that ETF missions, first announced in October, are conducting operations as part of the coalition fight there against ISIL.

“One of the missions that we anticipate they will do is to capture a small number of ISIL leaders,” Davis said. “The detention of these [leaders] we anticipate will be very short-term [and] coordinated with Iraqi authorities.”

Well that's interesting where did it come from?

It came from the Defense Dept trying to seize the narrative.

Wednesday morning, they were still concerned that the US press might actually actually get off their lazy and useless asses and do their damn job.

The Defense Dept should never have sweated it because the US press never does their job.

Tuesday the Senate Armed Services Committee held a hearing which we covered in Tuesday's Iraq snapshot, "Magical Bernie trumps Tired Hillary" and in Thursday's Iraq snapshot.

Three generals testified before the Committee, Gen Lloyd Austin (CENTCOM), Gen Joseph Vogel (Special Operations Command) and Gen David Rodriguez (US Africa Command). The Chair of the Committee is Senator John McCain, the Ranking Member is Senator Jack Reed.

What had the Defense Dept sweating bullets was the following exchange from that hearing.

Senator Kelly Ayotte: I wanted to follow up on an important question. Both General Rodriquez and General Votel, this is something I've actually asked both your predecessors about and my concern is if we capture Ayman al-Zawahiri or Baghdadi -- [Abu Bakr] al-Baghdadi tomorrow where will we detain these individuals under long term law of war detention -- most importantly to interrogate them to find out all that we need to know about al Qaeda and ISIS? And as I asked your predecessor going back to 2011, I asked -- I asked General [Carter] Hamm, your predecessor in AFRICOM, what would happen if tomorrow we captured a member of al Qaeda in Africa? And you know what he told me? He said I'm going to need some lawyerly help on answering that one. I also asked the same of Admiral [William] McRaven, your predecessor, General Votel. And he said to me that it would be very helpful if there was actually a facility that was designated for long term, law of war detention and interrogation. So I guess my question to both of you is tomorrow, if we capture these individuals, given the phenomenal work that the men and women who serve underneath you do ever day, where are we going to interrogate them? Do you know that? Do you know what you would do with them? Especially if you wanted to have a long term interrogation of them?

Gen Joseph Votel: Senator, in my experiences, we've looked at operations where we're actually going to detains somebody we have had a plan in place before we actually conducted the operation for how we were going to potentially detain them and what their legal disposition would be -- whether that was back in the US courts --

Senator Kelly Ayotte: No, General, we just recently captured someone in ISIS and as I understand it, they're not being -- they're being held short term and then they're going to be turned back to the Kurds. So what about long term detention? You would agree that long term interrogation is quite helpful, for example, in gathering the information that we needed to get [Osama] bin Laden. That's what worries me

Gen Joseph Votel: I --

Senator Kelly Ayotte: What do we do in a long term setting? Do we know?

Gen Joseph Votel: I--I would agree that there is a requirement for long term detention, Senator.

Senator Kelly Ayotte: And do we know where that would be now?

Gen Joseph Votel: I-I don't know that. That is a politica -- a policy decision that I think is being debated.

Senator Kelly Ayotte: I think it's a policy decision that has basically never been made under this administration. It's one that has been left up in the air which means it's left up in the air in a way I think undermines our national security interest.

So a captured member of the Islamic State can't be held and will be turned back over to the Kurds.

You'd think the CBS EVENING NEWS would open with that news or NBC NIGHTLY NEWS or . . .

No one wanted to touch it.

The news was, for those who can't catch it, in Iraq a member of the Islamic State was captured, the US briefly interrogated him and would now be handing him back to the Kurds. This was due to not having a facility and this did not seem, to Gen Joseph Vogel, to be the appropriate thing to do.

You can disagree with him, agree with him or have no opinion on what should be done.

But it is news.

And news is what we're supposed to debate and discuss in a democracy in order to be informed citizens participating in our self-governance.

The day after the hearing, THE NEW YORK TIMES, for example, was front-paging 'news' like "Fasting Diets Are Gaining Acceptance" by Anahad O'Connor.

You know who does the most fasting in America?

The extreme poor.

It's not 'trendy' or 'buzz worthy,' so it doesn't make it onto the front page of THE NEW YORK TIMES -- or inside.

Nor does news that really matters like the Tuesday Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
