Despite my exhaustion caused by repeatedly deleting and then digging this blog out of the trash I just can't let go of my frustration with Joan not seeing or admitting to her own Clinton bias. So, I did a little research on Salon and found out that Joan wrote exactly ONE totally benign, pandering article about Hillary's LIE about her Bosnia trip, while this article about Obama, hyperbolically entitled "Bittergate" (a misnomer in my mind, because adding "gate" to a word should imply a scandal or corruption, as Watergate was, not just a controversial statement) is Joan's second vitriolic attack on Obama on these statements alone. The comparison is striking and she should see it and admit it.
I would love to see Joan not only address in detail the psychological motivation that would lead to Clinton making and repeating such a ridiculous story, followed by a deeply thoughtful thesis on racist comments in this campaign. I might be impressed if she had the courage and integrity to do so.
