Maureen Dowd, The New York Times, February 20, 2008
Lenny and Squiggy were nowhere in sight.
But Hillary was doing her best to come across as a “Laverne & Shirley” factory girl as she headed away from not-a-chance Wisconsin and on to gotta-have Ohio.
She was drinking red wine and talking up the virtues of imported Blue Moon beer with a slice of citrus on her plane and putting up an ad in Ohio about how she works the night shift, too, just like the waitresses, hairdressers, hospital workers and other blue-collar constituents that she’s hoping to attract.
And she doesn’t mean that being married to Bill Clinton is what keeps her up all hours. She’s talking about burning the midnight oil in her Senate office.
At any minute, she might break out into the “schlemiel, schlemazel” “Laverne & Shirley” theme: “Give us any chance, we’ll take it.
Give us any rule, we’ll break it.
We’re gonna make our dreams come true.
Doin’ it our way.”
If we have to have a liberal president Obama is my choice. I’d rather have a liberal than a criminal.

Me too. That’s why I always vote Democrat.

Gg-
Since Hillary was investigated by the rabid hyper-partisan Ken Starr for 7 years and found to be squeaky-clean you of course couldn’t be referring to her, which means that you are saying that Hillary has dropped out (I didn’t see any announcement…) and that by ‘criminal’ you must mean…Gravel?
Hmmm….
