The question we keep asking of Senator Clinton is not, “Do you regret your 2002 Bush enabling vote?” but “What are you doing now? How are you showing us, as a Senator and as a declared candidate, your ideas and your mettle?”
Sad to say the answer keeps rolling in bad.
The political gossip sheets have been party-gown sequined with news of the Clinton/Wolfson duo trying to tar Obama with David Geffen’s public put-down of Hillary and Bill.
Geffen was once a big fan of the Clinton’s — a fundraiser and visitor to the White House. After Clinton pardoned Marc Rich and not Leonard Peltier (as urged by Geffen) the friendship went sour. Last week Geffen held a $1.3 million fundraiser for Obama and at it gave Maureen Dowd some juicy opinion of the Clintons — which the Arch Cat put in her column on Sunday. H. Clinton went ballistic and sic’d Howard Wolfson on Obama.
The fight went public pretty quickly, and again, here and Margaret Carlson here.
Arianna jumps right in with unkind words for Wolfson.
James Carville and Donna Brazile strike out against Geffen while on the Situation Room.
Eric Alterman is tongue tied at the inanity of the thing but thinks Camp Clinton saw an opportunity to serve up some shit to reporters they could not resist.
Eric Boehlert at Media Matters lets Dowd have it with a few fact checks.
Somerby, at the Daily Howler, doesn’t like any of what he’s seeing, reminding us that Arianna not too long ago was calling Al Gore a serial liar and now she thinks he’s fabulous; today she’s lauding Geffen’s description of the Clinton’s a great liars…
And somewhere in the melee the dispicable Dick Morris weighs in, once a friend now a foe of everything Clinton.
Oh what a pie fight! If only it were only that. From what I read Clinton’s crew is too ugly, too fast. Take on the enemy please, not those standing in your own circle.
