can we sink further?
My friend JRC passed this on to me under the heading of "a new low".
My take? We already know they will do anything to win. Implying he's a Muslim (and that there's something wrong with that) and hinting that he's a "closet" African (as if there was something wrong with that), making him appear more black than he is...
I think that playing the "remember Monicagate!" card is just a rallying cry to the hard-core Clintonistas. Sure, most people feel like Ken Starr and the impeachment hearings went too far, but I think most people also believe that Bill Clinton had an affair with a very impressionable, much younger woman who was employed in a very junior role by his office and then lied to Congress and the nation about it. He made the presidency a laughingstock, like something out of a Restoration comedy. Is that really what the Clinton campaign wants to bring up again? Sure, Hilary was an injured party in that, but she also got a huge pair of horns on national television night after night (doubtless has quite the closetful by now). That's hardly what I would think she would want on peoples' minds right now. We might as a well start a new reality TV show and call it "Where's Bill's Todger?"...
Clinton spokesperson Howard Wolfson, on a conference call with reporters just now, drew an intriguing comparison between Obama and a somewhat-forgotten figure who is still deeply hated by Democrats. He said, "When Senator Obama was confronted with questions over whether he was ready to be Commander-in-Chief and steward of the economy, he chose not to address those questions, but to attack Senator Clinton. I for one do not belive that imitating Ken Starr is the way to win a Democratic primary election for president."
