Clinton Hearts Starbucks

President Clinton stopped at a Starbucks in Columbia Tusculum after his speech to fill up on a grande decaf Verona - black, no sugar or cream - according to barista David Lyman.

"Everyone was kind of, 'Oh my God it’s Bill Clinton," he said. "They stopped one lane of traffic on Columbia. He did a little bit of handshaking, stood outside. Very civilized."

He stopped in around 2:30 p.m. and lingered for about 20 minutes, Lyman said, taking pictures behind the counter with the baristas.

"I know he shouldn't be there without an apron, but..."

Oddly, the Enquirer also received a reported sighting of Clinton at a Rookwood Common Starbucks. Which means either the report is wrong or Clinton really, really likes Starbucks.

Bush gets minute by minute accounts of his motorcade...Clinton gets a brief mention about stopping off for a cup of coffee? That's fair and balanced, for you. The Enquirer makes Fox News look reputable.

Hebron27,
OK, so I got a little overheated last night. I am so excited that the American people are finally waking up. I guess it had to take record deficits, thousands dead in Iraq and New Orlans, millions of jobs sent overseas, and countless lives destroyed for it to happen. Hopefully, it's not too late. Hopefully, we can turn around Ohio, bring the troops home where they belong, spend more money on education so we actually eduate our children, and maybe try taking care of our veterans' widows and orphans for a change.

Just think, before we know it, the Repugnicants will be in only two places: jail or the unemployment line.

Your site includes the entire text of Laura Bush's speech when she visited Cincinnati, while Bill Clinton is mentioned being sighted at Starbucks?
Cincinnati has a terrible reputation in this country, is known for being close minded, ignorant, homophobic, and loaded with limited opinions. I'm beginning to see where those opinions come from.

As mentioned in the Enquirer, "(His (Clinton's) comments) were great," he said. "He's a master at being able to explain in clear terms what the choice is to voters."-
So where is the text of those comments offering good information to citizens before they vote in the upcoming election? I can’t believe any city paper would want their citizens to be without clear understanding of the issues if they are in the business of
serving the community? Are you afraid of something if readers see the text in clear print?

I was at the Clinton event.
Did anyone else think Mayor Mallory's references to marrying Phil Heimlich were a little strange?

Once might have been funny, but six times?

Those illegal immigrants, they just don't get it, do they ?

You see the fishwRap misleaders are connected to the hip-bone of 3CDC which then misleads the voters into thinking that a development for 5/3 only takes 4 mill.

When in fact, the misleaders hid the fact that the parking garage revenue under our lady fountain must be forfeited to pay the loan that must be repaid to the underwriter 5/3.

Now, you see how this works ?

It's called city-corp welfare !

Now, these misleaders are part of the "culture of corruption" wRong wingnut party !

So, the fishwRap only publishes a "culture of corruption" propaganda agenda !

We have to stop all these illegal immigrants before they get all uppity and start asking more questions or we need to feed their helpless children with social security checks !

Heck, that's money we could be putting in our pockets !

We can't help children, there are weapons to build.

I know, if we build a fense we could get some more no bid contracts, right ?

What say you, mad brad ? how bout you, chabothead ? you, hindlick ?

HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2006 !
