I'll only go this far because there doesn't appear to be much sense in going further...

An indignant, finger-pointing Clinton said:
How dare he?! Criticism of the press! Just like a Clinton to turn around and put the attention on someone else. Just like Bill to make judgements after everything he has done with internes and cigars.
Immaterial. I chose that link because it had the transcript.
I'm not talking about you or what you said. I'm talking about the constant and near ubiquitous media narrative on the Clintons. You commonly reflect that (as do many here). It is inescapable and the unbalance in this matter is more than adequate cause for Bill or anyone in that campaign to be indignant.
How unbalanced? They have been at the receiving end of such narratives for a decade and a half. As Bill says, Hillary is yet in the game and still trying. And what is the media narrative on that? Not that she gives a damn about contribution to the civic good, merely it is more evidence for her unquenchable lust for power.
Obama, obviously, suffers no such deficit even before any discussion on policy or prior experience is set to. Hardly immaterial.
Quote:
"But since you raised the judgment issue, let's go over this again. That is the central argument for his campaign. 'It doesn't matter that I started running for president less a year after I got to the Senate from the Illinois State Senate. I am a great speaker and a charismatic figure and I'm the only one who had the judgment to oppose this war from the beginning. Always, always, always.' "
Quote:Dishonest formulation. That's not the central argument in Obama's campaign. And the whole mocking "I'm a great speaker and a charismatic figure" aspect is unnecessary and distasteful.
If this is your notion of dishonest and distasteful campaigning, then you are in for a very big shock if Barack wins the nomination and then when he sits as President. They'll set to ripping his guts out.
