Clinton Camp Marred By Distrust, Lacks Leadership

The New Republic, Michelle Cottle, April 21, 2008 11:48 AM

By the time Hillary Clinton's campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle
finally packed up her lovely corner office with its fresh blue carpet
and mini-fridge full of Diet Coke, her exit must have come as a
relief -- even to many of her friends on Team Hillary...

the world's largest P.R. agency. When do you sleep?

I'm not into sleeping. I sleep about five hours a night, from 2 to 7.

None. I drink Diet Coke.
I drink between 5 to 10 cans of Diet Coke a day...

Dick Cheney's Suite Demands
Veep's "rider" requires [Diet] Sprite, 68 degrees, TVs tuned to
Fox News

MARCH 23 2006 -- After posting the performance contracts of
artists like Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, and U2,
The Smoking Gun has finally obtained the backstage demands
of a real rock star. That's right, below you'll find a copy of Vice
President Dick Cheney's standard "tour" rider. The document is
provided to hotels where Cheney will be bunking and lists how the
Republican pol's "Downtime Suite" needs to be outfitted. While the
vice president's requests are pretty modest
(no extract-the-brown-M&M demands here), Cheney does like his
suite at a comfy 68 degrees. And, of course, all the televisions need
to be preset to the Fox News Channel (what, you thought he was a
Lifetime devotee?).

Decaf coffee should be ready upon his arrival along with four cans
of caffeine-free Diet Sprite......

ROMNEY'S HURDLE: In seeking a presidential candidate for
2008, why would Republicans look further than the governor of
Massachusetts? Tall and urbane, Mitt Romney has a prime political
pedigree, an unblemished personal life and the cool confidence of a
CEO. He is a conservative Republican who won easy election in a
fiercely liberal state -- then streamlined Massachusetts' government
and enacted the country's most sweeping healthcare overhaul.
He is a passionate defender of states' rights and recently has
embraced strong views against stem cell research and abortion --
a reversal of earlier positions.

He never swears, and his sole vice is Diet Coke.

Not incidentally, the 59-year-old governor boasts Ivy League
credentials and movie-star looks. But Romney faces a potential
obstacle that has not confronted a presidential hopeful for almost
50 years. As a devout Mormon -- and a onetime bishop of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- Romney adheres
to a faith that makes many Americans uncomfortable.

The FEMA trailers give about the same amount of formaldehyde
and formic acid daily as from a quart of dark wine or liquor, or two
quarts (6 12-oz cans) of aspartame diet soda, from their over 1 tenth
gram methanol impurity (one part in 10,000), which the body quickly
makes into formaldehyde and then formic acid -- enough to be the
major cause of "morning after" alcohol hangovers.

Methanol and formaldehyde and formic acid also result from many
fruits and vegetables, tobacco and wood smoke, heater and vehicle
exhaust, household chemicals and cleaners, cosmetics, and new cars,
drapes, carpets, furniture, particleboard, mobile homes, buildings,
leather... so all these sources add up and interact with many other
toxic chemicals. ]
