We have two more years of this? It all started with these comments David Geffen made to Maureen Dowd after a fund raiser for Obama:
Mr. Geffen said the Clintons lie “with such ease, it’s troubling” and that the Clinton political operation “is going to be very unpleasant and unattractive and effective.” Mr. Geffen called Mr. Clinton a “reckless guy” who had not changed in the last six years, and suggested that Mrs. Clinton was too scripted.
Clinton’s camp responded by calling on Obama to return all $1.3 million raised.
“While Senator Obama was denouncing slash-and-burn politics yesterday, his campaign’s finance chair was viciously and personally attacking Senator Clinton and her husband,” Howard Wolfson, the Clinton campaign communications director, said in a statement.
Obama?
Bill Burton, a spokesman for Mr. Obama, responded with a statement less than an hour and a half later, saying it was “ironic that the Clintons had no problem with David Geffen” when he was “raising them $18 million and sleeping at their invitation in the Lincoln Bedroom.”
I remember the Lincoln Bedroom! I wonder if Laura remodeled?
How about McCain, what has he been up to?
Although McCain had once lavished praise on the vice president, he said in an interview in his Senate office: “The president listened too much to the Vice President . . . Of course, the president bears the ultimate responsibility, but he was very badly served by both the Vice President and, most of all, the Secretary of Defense.”
McCain added: “Rumsfeld will go down in history, along with McNamara, as one of the worst secretaries of defense in history.”
It’s not nice to hit people while they are down. I’m not sure how McCain gets away with criticizing the President while still being such a vocal supporter of the war.
