She’s Crafty

I watched this clip of Bill Clinton last night on Hardball and had my first vision that the Democratic nominee, who ever he or she might be, might not win in 08′. As even these third rate hack pundits were able to grasp, the Obama-Clinton spat comes out in the favor of Hillary, not at all because of the substance of their differences, but simply because third rate hack pundits keep repeating it. It’s what they do.

2004. People, come on. Kerry made Dukakis seem like a Kennedy, or as I’ve heard it, “I wasn’t voting my conscience, just attempting to counter an ongoing evil with the blunt instrument of mediocrity.” And how did it come to be that Kerry, a blue blood, Establishment insider received the nomination instead of someone more worthy, like say Clark or Edwards? Because no one wanted to mix it up.

The pundits are going to wag their tongues. Its all they exist for in the first place. But I’m glad to see that Obama has the guts to differentiate himself from Hillary in the foreign policy arena. I’m heartened to see that Edwards has the sense to fight back against the media’s memes about his image. I want a nominee that has a backbone for once. I don’t want another Kerry; waiting until it’s to late to squash the swiftboating.
