Please Hillary Fall on Your Sword

    Hillary's gotten desperate with her attacks about Obama's mailings. Believe me the Clintons will do anything to win an election.

    When Bill lost the governor's race in Ark. in 1980, he came back and ran again two years later with a pregnant wife who no longer used her maiden name and was focused on being a Mom instead of a career attorney. Until after the election.

    It was an article that was linked to/posted on a Springsteen board, not written by someone on a Springsteen board.

    Agreed. If he were given a pass from the start, if he didn't really have to earn it, that would make me worry some. But he's had to take on the Clinton machine, and he's winning, which makes me feel good about his chances should he earn nomination.

    EDIT -- This blog entry sums it up nicely for me.

  4. Jesus god, the Clinton machine?
    The capacity of a relatively banal pair of middle-of-the-road centrist Democrats to make people crazy is an enduring phenomenon. Andy Sullivan has been exceedingly strange on this subject -- and a lot of others -- for 15 years now. (He's the one who, while editing TNR ran not only Liz McCaughey's nakedly dishonest piece about the 1993 health-care debate, but that piece about the Rose Law Firm about which the author later claimed that "Clinton operatives" mugged him and stole his notes when, in fact, he'd fallen after getting sockless drunk at the bar of the Excelsior Hotel.) Chelsea was conceived for political advantage? Sorry, folks, but if you were going to join the Arkansas Project, y'all missed the big payday back in '93.

    Well let's hope he is right about soon seeing the clintons in our rear view mirror.
     

  6. Can't disagree with you there, Boom.
    It's time.

    I thought the exact same thing. Bad enough that she was allowed to comment on the subject at all, but Russert turned to her FIRST!

    As far as I'm concerned, Doris should be on public access these days. NBC bringing her back is shameful.

    You can't make this stuff up. As I recall Doris actually reached out of court settlement for substantial dollars with the writer she plagiarized.

    Doris is a sweet lady but has never been the same since the Dogers moved from Brooklyn.
     
  9. Hey, they had Mike Barnicle on Hardball last week, lamenting the lack of journalistic ethics at the NYT.
    Jack Welch is the genital herpes of journalism.
    And Boom? A "sweat lady"?
