Politics
I'm already at wit's end with the seemingly downward spiral Hillary Clinton's personality has been in since the beginning of the year, but over the weekend she made another statement that seemed to indicate both her desperation and her inability to accept the reality of the moment, that being her losing the Democratic nomination to her chief rival Barack Obama. In what seems to be a typical outburst from her, which is hot on the heels of her accusing Obama of plagiarizing a portion of a recent speech, she now accused the Obama campaign of engaging in tactics "right out of Karl Rove's playbook." Rove, George W. Bush's chief political strategist, engaged in some of the more insidious mudslinging in recent memory. Just ask John McCain. So the analogy seems to ring pretty hallow when it's revealed that her comment is in reference to a flier that cites a newspaper article in which Clinton likens Nafta as a "boon" to the economy. Newsday, paper where the article appeared, stopped short of citing the Obama campaign of misuse, but rather said it was "misleading." How this a akin to suggesting the McCain has a "black child," is "insane," or "gay" to South Carolina voters is beyond me. To paraphrase Hillary, I think what we're seeing here are signs that she's clearly frustrated.
