Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Tony Rezko

A "gotcha" that wasn't for one candidate, a need to "come clean" for another.

    What was that?

    Did an honest, progressive, wonderful and kind Obama supporter just tell Mr. Brown to STFU? Good guys don't do that, do they? And of course, since he's supporting Obama, he must be saying this at the instigation of the Secret Mr. and Mrs. Obama cartel that controls everything. Hey, does that mean that Obama = Bush?

    No. I think it's time we ask for a better press corps. This morning's interview with Hillary was shameful. They focused, as is their wont, only on Hillary's rejoinder, not the initial remark. (See, it's only the Clintons who have gone negative, see?)

    And this week, Obama has discovered the answer to Bill on the campaign trail: Michele Obama does a very good job of representing her husband. Will the press keep a keen eye out for the slightest negative remark that she makes about the Clintons and scream "reverse racism"? I don't think so.

    By the way, I don't think the press is so much pro-Obama than anti-Clinton.
