McAuliffe Says Hillary Could Become Pope

@ 11:38 am by Andy Barr

Former DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe said Thursday night that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) could do anything she wants now that her presidential campaign has ended, including become pope.

McAuliffe was speaking at a fundraiser headlined by both Clinton and Barack Obama organized to help pay down some of Clinton's debt. More than 200 of both Clinton and Obama's top Washington fundraisers showed up for an event

"This, folks, was a magnificent race," McAuliffe said, according to the pool report. "This party is on fire."

McAullife then turned to Clinton and told donors that she will have a bright future despite having to end her presidential bid "no matter what she does. If she wants to become pope, it doesn't matter," McAuliffe said.

Clinton spoke after McAuliffe and before congratulating Obama for winning the nomination had to deflate McAuliffe's pope idea.

"First, I'd have to become Catholic, and second, we don't want to go there," Clinton said.

  1. You are truly an idiot! In case you missed something ,you and Lanny are the reasons she lost.
    Well maybe her and Bill repeatedly getting caught lying might have played a part in that too.
    I noticed Hillary still refuses to release her delegates . I wonder, maybe she,s still in the race and hopes no one will notice.

  2. Terry McAuliffe is one of the most unhinged pollyanna characters I have ever seen.

    There was a woman pope once - no one knew until she gave birth by the side of the road….

  3. mommadona, Unhinged is being kind.He should be doing colon-cleansing infomercials in the middle of the night with Lanny setting next to him with that I just ate a turd look on his face.
    Hillary surrounded herself with idiots starting with Slick Willy.

  4. Haha. I think Terry is one of those friends that kind of makes you cringe sometimes. Poor Hillary. But by golly, he's loyal isn't he? Good old Terry.

  5. Anytime you have to be 100% in control, you have to surround yourself with idiots and yes men. It's her own fault. Anyone with half a brain wouldn't play her game.

  6. Man, I was hoping that when Hillary capitulated, we would not have to be subjected to Terry McOraface, the Clintons wealthy PIMP!
