"Andrea Mitchell of NBC first reported the Clinton/SoS rumor and she said she had two OBAMA advisors as sources."
Oh, yeah? What were their names? You don't think reporters lie? To protect their political sources? Have you been involved in political media long, or were you actually born yesterday?
I think it's perfectly safe to say the Hillary camp is behind the leaks. Hillary has everything to gain, Obama nothing. Hillary might, with luck, generate enough buzz that her appointment becomes a fait accompli, and everyone forgets to check on where all that beautiful grubby money came from.
Also, if she were going to turn down the appointment, we'd never have heard about it at all."
Thadeus Crumb, sometimes our hatred for someone leads us to some twisted logic. You will think that some level of intelligence, not blind hatred will allow you to conclude from Andrea Mitchell's report that a seasoned journalist who knows where her bread is buttered will not falsely accuse a popular president elect camp of leaking such a sensistive information about Hillary Clinton if it is not true. Any right thinking person will conclude that Andrea Mitchel will not throw away her future sources with Obama's team by falsely accusing them of leaking such a sensitive material about Hillary. If you throw away the hate blinders you will actually realize that it does not make sense for Andrea to lie about her sources.
The same lie about the Clintons leaking the information was told yesterday on Fox News by Hannity, O'Reily and by Dick "toe sucker" Morris, the usual anti-Hillary crowd and parroted across talk radio and the blogs.
Again, innuendos and false accusations are the refuge of cowards and you can go ahead and say anything about the former president and his charitable foundation without facts.
I do not blame you for bringing this up; I blame Obama and his campaign for all of this Hillary and SoS nonsense. On one hand, he told the whole world how Hillary could be on anyone's short-list for VP and then turning around and thumbing his nose at her. This after Hillary has poured her heart out and campaigned as vigorously as anyone to get him elected. Had he at least considered her for VP and done due diligence will we be in this demeaning situation again with the same self-serving questions about Hillary and Bill's business dealings and with Bill's anti-American Charity foundation? And where it looks like the former first lady who holds Kennedy's seat in the senate is begging for the position of SoS?
