Hillary Clinton: Crier … Crier or LIAR, LIAR … Its Deja-vu All Over Again

I thought they already had the New Hampshire Primaries? More tears.

As NY Yankee baseball great Yogi Berra once said … “Its deja-vu all over again.”  The wannebe “Crier in Chief” Hillary Clinton opens up the water works again in an attempt to tear her way to victory. If Hillary is crying, a primary can’t be too far away. Low and behold, tomorrow is Super Tuesday. Like clockwork, Hillary tears up again. I am not quite sure why Hillary Clinton is crying. Won’t it be the American public who is crying if she is elected President?

With all this sensitivity, we really don’t need a “crying” President with the codes to the United States nuclear arsenal.

Yep, it’s official. Hillary Clinton is running to be Crybaby-in-Chief. According to the Tribune Co.’s politics blog, the Swamp, Clinton teared up after a heartfelt introduction by a former colleague at the Yale Child Study Center in New Haven, where she worked in college. The emotional speech led “Clinton’s eyes to fill with tears, which she wiped out of her left eye,” reads the report (so clinical). “Well, I said I would not tear up; already we’re not exactly on the path,” Clinton said immediately after. AHEM. Now, to be fair to Clinton, who after all is human no matter what people say, hearing a tearful tribute to you from a former mentor is exactly the kind of thing that would choke up nearly anybody. But it won’t be lost on the press that she happened to cry just on the eve of an important primary vote, and that she happened to do so in a state where she has been losing her edge. (NY MAG)

Comments From Jossy Mansur Regarding the Joran Van der Sloot Video Tapes and the Death & Disposal of Natalee Holloway

From the mouth of Jossy Mansur, Managing Editor or Diario, to your eyes:

The judge of instructions in Holland refused the petition of the prosecution in Aruba to make the pretrial arrest of Joran. He did not see “sufficient new evidence” in the tapes. The prosecution has, of course, appealed the decision. That, according to a press release issued by the prosecution last night in English and Dutch.
 
I did not see the tv show because it was unavailable here. I did follow it via a radio station in Aruba (canal 90) with a lot of static and noise that made it practically impossible to follow all the recorded conversations of Joran with Patric van Eems. However, I did hear him say that he was involved in Natalee’s disappearance (that she died in his arms!) and that he threw her body in the ocean, aided by a friend. The friend that he mentioned by name afterwards has come forward to deny that he had anything to do with it.

Natalee Holloway Investigation: Joran Van der Sloot Caught on Tape … “Its a Big Ocean”

Holloway Suspect: ‘I Know What Happened’
Dutch Student Said Natalee Holloway’s Body Was Dumped in the Ocean

So if she supposedly died in your arms, why didn’t you help her? What reason would there ever be for you to feel the need to dispose of a body if a crime was not committed against her? The answer, because there was one committed. No one’s first reaction is to dispose of a body unless they have something to hide like the use of date rape drugs, a sexual assault and further crimes against Natalee Holloway.

Joran Van der Sloot’s first reaction is not to help Natalee Holloway, but instead to dispose of her body. Joran even admits he was not sure whether Natalee Holloway was dead or in a coma. In other words when Joran Van der Sloot disposed of her body, Natalee Holloway may have still been alive. All she may have need was medical attention? Who knew that Joran was a physician capable of determining whether someone was alive or dead. What is the legal term for that Aruba when some one gets rid of a person who is still alive?

Van der Sloot said on the tape that his Aruban friend, alone, took Holloway out to the ocean and dumped her apparently lifeless body.

But was she really dead?

“How were you so sure she was dead, Joran?” van der Eem asked on the tapes. “You know, people can also go into a coma.”

“Yeah, I wasn’t sure about that, but it really startled me to death,” van der Sloot admitted.

“But she could also have been in a coma,” van der Eem said.

“That’s possible too huh,” van der Sloot answered. “That’s very possible.”

Van der Sloot said he immediately began crafting an alibi.

“I have to do normal things,” he said. “And I am going to casino tomorrow night so I’m on camera.” (ABC News)

The Complete Story from Peter R. De Vries

Joran shows no emotion towards Patrick when he tells him that he didn’t sleep one night less because of the whole situation. He also tells him that Natalee’s death was in fact quite fortunate for him. “Now I can abuse the whole situation”, he says indicating the book he has written.

Jorans friends Deepak and Satish, who have been arrested for this case several times, are completely innocent. Joran declares with pride that he has abused them to create an alibi for himself. He calls them “very stupid boys’”.
