After the personal attacks, ie she's corrupt, on her by Edwards and Obama this holier than thou attitude is annoying. What is even more annoying is the vitriol and sanctimony with which Edwards, Obama and their supports are attacking Clinton. She has worked her whole adult life to make things better for children, the poor, and the middle class, passing up plenty of opportunities to get rich. She worked at the Children's Defense Fund, she gave up her share of Rose law firm profits so she could do work on education and health for the poor in Arkansas. She and President Clinton campaigned for George McGovern in Texas for God's sake. She is not perfect, but she does not deserve the venom from people who only knowledge of her comes from the Republican smear machine through their tools in the MSM. Moreover, however wrong Shaheen and Penn were to mention that Obama's drug use as a kid would hurt him in a general campaign, they are right about the right-wing smear merchants glee about the potential to lie about Obama they way they did about the Clintons. Soon they'll have Obama selling drugs in the schoolyard to elementary school kids for his muslim terrorist grandfather. The truth does not matter to the right-wing. That is where most of Clinton's critics got their lies about her--Republican lies laundered through the MSM. Wise up guys. Democrats should not do the Republican's job for them.
