Hillary Clinton doesn’t believe word about alleged Schumer betrayal portrayed in Game Change (NYDailyNews 1/10/10)

I don't know if Hillary really means it, or if this is her way of taking the high road the way diplomats do.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2010/01/11/2010-01-11_hil_doesnt_believe_flippin_word_about_chuck_betrayal.html

Hillary Clinton and her campaign insiders don’t believe reports that Sen. Chuck Schumer stabbed her in the back – despite reports in a blockbuster book that he did just that.

“Game Change” by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin revealed that Schumer and other powerful Dems urged Barack Obama to run – knowing that Clinton planned to. The pair wrote that Schumer even told Obama pal Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) to “take a two-by-four” to Clinton in 2007.

One source said the secretary of state and Schumer (D-N.Y.) talked by phone yesterday and she told him that she “paid it no mind.”

“She said it was just one of the many things in the book that she didn’t believe was at all true,” the source said.

The usually talkative Schumer, pressed on the report, refused to comment yesterday, but vehemently denied the account over the weekend. Several sources said Camp Clinton knew Schumer encouraged Obama to run, but that he also warned the future President he’d back Hillary once she jumped in. And they say Schumer delivered.

“Chuck did everything we asked,” said one Clinton campaign hand.

The insiders suspect the reporting stems from the fact that senators like to leave the impression they have more to do with everything than they really do. “Chuck sometimes likes to take too much credit so he can say, ‘I did that,’” one source said.

Hillary is kidding herself or is incredibly niaive about just how badly the Dems didn't want her in the White House. Schumer is scum of the earth.

Oh, I imagine Hillary knows Schumer to be a back stabber. She is feigning ignorance.

Who else can she call upon regarding that book? She cannot ask Kennedy to defend her husband. What a trash book that turned out to be.

We shall see if Schumer sticks up for her now!

All through the primaries we were asking ourselves "WTH is going on?" One after the other wre throwing their support behind BHO, or changing their support from Hillary to him. Remember? We had more and more questions and wonderment.

How many times did we say THEY KNEW he'd win... THEY KNEW he'd win over the DNC Convention... THEY KNEW all along.

Many of you heard me say before, I have NEVER seen primaries and an election take place like 2008.

These slimy politicians. I wouldn't put anything past anyone of them. Guess the truth hurts.

Schummer is a day late, since he's not on it, and the media is spinning it so ugly, just add him to slimball list.

I'd donate to have PUMA write a book!

It is interesting, though, that of all the junk in that book, this is the one issue that Hillary has decided to address publicly.

That means he is innocent or she still needs him.  Well we will know soon enough if she is going to run against Patterson.
