A new low in Clinton bashing

Can anyone truly believe her remark about Robert Kennedy's assassination was anything other than an unfortunate reference to another June primary battle?

    The Presidential candidate that cried wolf

    Mrs. Walsh,

    If someone repeatedly makes comments that are based in and appeal to the lowest common denominator and then "misspeaks" on an occassion where they actually have benign intentions people are not going to buy it.

    Additionally, your premise about Obama being teflon is also poorly substantiated, particularly in light of the exclusion of the Jeremiah Wright seal clubbing he received at the hands of the media.

    I don't think you can compare Clinton's dirty dancing campaigning with the higher standard Obama has stood by.
