I'd vote for Hamas if it would get him off my TV. Today's McAuliffism: 90% of the media is for Obama. Really, Terry? Well here's a question: What percent of the media was for Hillary when throughout all of 2007 they kept repeating your talking point that Hillary was "inevitable" and that Obama had no chance? Why, yes, the answer is 100% of the media was for Hillary just until four months ago. So, the media was 100% for Hillary for 12 months, and they were (you claim) 90% for Obama for, what, 4 months? And that's unfair how? Then again, Team Clinton never was real good at math.
John Edwards said it's over and sent a signal to the Clinton campaign:
John Edwards, a former candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, cautioned Sunday that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton “has to be really careful that she’s not damaging our prospects” by staying in the contest against Senator Barack Obama.
That's really wise advice. But, Clinton's spokesman, Howard Wolfson, is still in a fighting mood, apparently. Puffing his chest out on FOX today, Wolfson delivered some classic fifth grade school yard taunts:
But Howard Wolfson, a senior Clinton adviser, struck a feisty note on Fox, saying that if Mr. Obama wanted Mrs. Clinton out of the race, there was a simple way to ensure that: "Beat her. Beat her in West Virginia, beat her in Puerto Rico, beat her in Kentucky." Mrs. Clinton, of New York, is favored in those coming contests; Mr. Obama holds an edge in the others, in Oregon, Montana and South Dakota.
That would almost be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.
The Clinton campaign is rife with bullies who threw their weight around, yelling at people, screaming at people. I experienced that twice myself early on, before I supported anyone and just wanted a Democrat who could win. (And, trust me, I had very few interactions with Clinton staffers.)
There's nothing better than seeing the bullies get their butts kicked. And, that's exactly what's happening now.
So, Clinton and her entire staff should heed the words of John Edwards. The Clintons and their vaunted brain trust screwed up their own campaign. They don't need to inflict their ruinous behavior on Obama and the rest of the Democrats anymore.
And while we're on the subject of Clinton campaign people, the best line of the day, didn't come from anyone on the Sunday shows. It came from Al Giordano:
I personally don’t believe a word McAuliffe says about anything, and look forward to the moment, once Obama’s the nominee, that McAuliffe won’t be sent out, not even once, to be a surrogate on TV anymore.
