rhymes with pillory

hillary's hissy-fit about david geffen's snark in support of barack "to the future" obama may be already back-firing on her.

a commentor on the caucus - the nytimes political blog - expresses her disgust w/mrs. clinton:

as someone who admires senator clinton immensely, i am getting very annoyed at her campaign. please stop this nonsense — geffen was entitled to his opinion (even if he was wrong in many ways) and senator obama is not geffen. to attack obama for geffen’s comment was wrong; just like it was wrong of the obama campaign to attack clinton for ford’s comment (although i was personally happy that clinton said she appreciated ford’s apology to obama). it’s obvious to me that anyone who will listen to geffen are hillary-haters and obama fans anyway, so this attack won’t change their minds (only feed the fire). meanwhile, this attack can backfire because it will frustrate voters like me who like senator clinton but hate mud-slinging. senator clinton, if people bother taking the time to learn about her, is smart, hard-working with a long list of accomplishments. (if you disagree with me, read up on her record). her accomplishments speak for themselves and that should be enough to influence votes; mud-slinging only distracts attention away from her accomplishments. wolfson, please stop this before you self-destruct.

we're not so sure ourselves about her record; she adamantly refuses to admit her 2002 vote for war w/iraq was questionable. but we do agree w/helen that this latest snit-fest does her no good in terms of looking presidential (unless you count the current occupant of the white house as an example thereof).

Never, she's too shrewd. McCain is a blowhard who doesn't know when to shut up.

Hell, I'm disgusted with her campaign, too, and there's still twenty months of this shit to come. Oy.

Don't mind me, I'm just almost totally fed up with nearly all politicians again. I believe it was H. L. Mencken who siad that the proper way to look at a politician is down...

"Looking Presidential" doesn't get you elected nowdays. John effin' Kerry "looked Presidential". Where is he today? The class clown who can't even say a full sentence got the job, go figure.
