Fey: Maybe what bothers me the most is that people say that Hillary is a bitch. Let me say something about that: yeah, she is. So am I, and so is this one. [Points to Amy Poehler]

Poehler: Yeah, deal with it.

Fey: You know what, bitches get stuff done. That's why Catholic schools use nuns as teachers and not priests. Those nuns are mean old clams and they sleep on cots and they're allowed to hit you. And at the end of the school year you hated those bitches but you knew the capital of Vermont. So, I'm saying it's not too late, Texas and Ohio, bitch is the new black!

The task now for Hillary Clinton and her unreliable campaign organization is clear: stay on the sidelines while the women of America fight the battle. Clinton's debate reference to the "Saturday Night Live" skits about Obama bias and her good-humored, self-deprecating appearance on the show on the eve of the Texas and Ohio votes were enough. Any more, and she looks churlish—even paranoid.

Bill Clinton in South Carolina proved it's possible to overdo outrage. Hillary Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson hammered that point home last week by comparing Obama to Ken Starr.

Unless the press actually wants Clinton to win the White House, it had better stow the sarcastic Hillary one-liners and kill the caustic sound bites. Because nothing makes an American woman as crazy-mad as watching another American woman get pushed around.

    Funny, I just came upon this one... Does anyone remember that the Republican Party of Lincoln was the Party to end slavery? Doe anyone remeber their history and that the DEMOCRATS were against abolition? My point? Party means nothing and the Demoncrats are not the "cool" party. Either John McCain, OR Al Gore would have made a better president the last eight years, and if the Democrats had perhaps nominated John Edwards in 2004 instead of a Douche Bag ( or was he the giant turd...I forget ) they would have taken back the white house. I voted for Bush in 2004 sadly, but will vote for Barack Obama, I hope, because Hillary Clinton is not ENTITLED to the White House. The woman is blue blood in every cell of her body, she only cares about saying what people want to hear to get what she wants but her true self in a snide whiny liar ( I hears the bullets whizzing past me" umm or was that one orf my daydreams of granduer... ) The is a big business blue blood lawyer through and through. Elect her and she will intentionally scr*w the middle class. Bush just was incompetant and let it happen, she could care less about the middle class. Typical Democrat do goody for projects the middle class taxpayer shoulders while she congratulates herself for being a hero, and that dont save the poor. The poor need training and jobs, and we need better access to education for American Citizens of all races and fewer non citizens sitting in the classrooms of US Colleges. 50% of our students arent graduating from High School let alone college. This is a crisis. This needs to be fixed. MIddle income Americans need transition skills and technical and industrial jobs to maintain middle class status. No more rhetoric filled speeches. "I believe in change" ummmm "I'm a better leader at 3am" . We need more than HOT AIR soundbites, we need a plan to turn america around. Hillary wont do that. She is as much an old boy as Bush, just on the other side of the aisle. And do you think she and Putin will be fast friends? She push the military button, albeit in smaller doses, faster than any male, just to prove she can. One person does not run this country. It takes a machine. Obama is an intelligent man, and would be surrounded by intelligent people BUT he would bring younger ideas and politics to the white house. Wake up and stop bickering and think about what is best for america for the next 8 years. Hillary's high profile white house divorce when she catches bill doing another strumpet? I dont think so.

    Dear Sir. If you would like to truly inform your son, please go to YouTube and watch the hate-filled Anti-WHITE American rants by your honorable candidate's 20 year "spiritual leader". Read the mission of his church. Inform yourself on Black Separatism and decide for yourself. Listen to this "man of god" blame 911 on the murdered Americans. Listen to him scream the N word (the most offensive word to the black community
    ) and deicee for yorslef. thank you
