    The Huffington Post has Hillary Clinton on tape disparaging Barack Obama and his support from MoveOn, saying that the organization "didn't even want us to go into Afghanistan.

    I've tried to stay out of the pie fights of late, but as a long-term defender of MoveOn and other progressive organizations -- this is completely unacceptable.

    "MoveOn opposed military action in Afghanistan" is a Republican talking point, articulated specifically and purposefully by Karl Rove:

  • Hillary's retort to Peeps

    Senator Clinton, as a quasi-member of President Clinton's cabinet, what steps did you take to make sure your employer did not lie under oath or was impeached?

    He did not have sex with THAT woman, because I said so, and I wear the pants in the family, while my husband has a hard time keeping them on.

    How did you protect the whistle-blowers?

    Since I wasn't blowing my husband's whistle, all whistleblowers be damned

    Why is your marriage nobody's business, but someone's paster is everyone's?

    Because I made the choice of staying with my philandering husband to get elected POTUS. Wright is everyone's business even if the arguments against him are absolutely wrongheaded

    Why didn't you return to Arkansas?

    Not many millionaires and special interests in Arkansas to support me for POTUS. Besides that Huckabee was stealing our awshucks thunder

  • Hillary Hammers China Trade, Bill Took $1.25 Mil From Chinese Businesses

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/18/hillary-hammers-china-tra_n_97385.html

    Throughout the campaign, but more so recently, Sen. Hillary Clinton has tried to tap into voter resentment over domestic job loss by leveling heavy criticism at China.

    "Right here, over 200 Hoosiers built parts that guided our military's smart bombs to their targets. They were good jobs, but now they have gone to China," she says in an advertisement airing this week in Indiana. "George Bush could have stopped it. As your president I will fight to keep good jobs here, and to turn this economy around."

    But while the spot may reflect legitimate skepticism of past trade agreements, the issue of China is touchy terrain for Clinton to tread on. As observers note, Clinton's viewpoints with respect to China have 'evolved' from her time as first lady, when she occasionally touted the benefits of trade with the emerging Asian market. She still was skeptical back then, they say, just less so.

    Another reason to celebrate when the fork declares the doneness of Madame Wannabe.

    We should just call her Mrs Clinton. Wannabe POTUS will have to make do with answering your questions in her new book and about how MoveOn and the Democrats lost her the coronation and knighted her Cannotbe POTUS.

  • Ouch from Newsweek

    One of the more devastating results for Clinton was that a majority of all registered voters now see her as dishonest and untrustworthy. According to the poll, just four in 10 (41 percent) registered voters view the New York senator as honest and trustworthy, while 51 percent think the opposite. This compares with solid majorities of voters who see Obama and McCain as honest and trustworthy (both polled 61 percent).

    The results suggest that Clinton was damaged more by being caught in a tall tale about landing in Bosnia under sniper fire than Obama has been by his recent controversies, including the firestorm of criticism provoked by the Illinois senator's remarks that blue-collar voters "cling" to religion, guns and other issues because of their bitterness. In addition, over half (53 percent) of voters say they believe Obama shares their values, more than those who say the same thing about Clinton (47 percent) or McCain (45 percent).
