Hillary and Rove Sittin' in a Tree....

Amen to this. Must read:

MyDD :: Why Do We Reward Politicians Who Swift Boat, Throw the Kitchen Sink?:

"In America politics today, pundits and media reward politicians and say how smart they are when the politician uses Bully tactics and an 'assualt-like' mentality when they tear their opponents down by smear, distortions and lies --'swift boating', throwing the kitchen sink. The news media and pundits like to Praise the unscrupulous Politician up instead of disavowing them. The pundits like to say how Brilliant they are; What a Victory they say; what a Comeback Kid; and justify their use of Negative Ads and reward the worst in us -- this low and base behavior which should be outgrown as a humanitarian society. How many good and decent men have gone down because they were unfairly swiftboated by their opponents, mischaracaterized by those who have no morals or ethics. Something is wrong with that picture.

There is nothing brilliant about lies, distortions, peddling fear, swiftboating, and an assassination of one's character, it's not a physical killing but a killing just the same, an emotional theft and mental crime."

Here's Mrs. Swift-Sink:

Hillary pulled the classic Rovian switch-a-roo which in turn handed her Ohio.

Take your weakness (the fact that Hillary supported NAFTA which has stripped Ohio of many jobs) and make it you opponents weakness (claim that Obama, who opposes the current incarnation of NAFTA, has told the Canadian government not to worry that his opposition to NAFTA is only for the primarys... he doesn't really mean it).

Hillary will not be that much different that Bush.

Talking Points Memo | Tangled Friggin' Web:

"Seems the NAFTAgate leak started with -- surprise, surprise -- the Chief of Staff to Canada's conservative PM Stephen Harper. Only the first hint wasn't about stuff the Canadians had heard from the Obama camp. It was about reassurances the Canadians got from the Clinton campaign. According to a reporter who heard the original conversation, Brodie said 'someone from (Hillary) Clinton's campaign is telling the embassy to take it with a grain of salt. . . That someone called us and told us not to worry.'"

CBC Exonerates Obama: A Post-Mortem:

"I think it's safe to say that the turmoil surrounding the so-called 'NAFTAgate' played into Hillary's strong performance tonight. On the heels of 'Super Tuesday II', CBC, Canada's Public Broadcaster, has done a piece on the NAFTA scandal.

The CBC piece details the involvement of the conservative Harper government in creating a sensationalized leak, which itself had almost no resemblance to the actual memo, which itself is now being disclaimed as perhaps not accurate at all. We peel off layers of deception, and there is nothing left at all, except a successful attempt to promote bloodletting among Democrats."

If Hillary wants to sling shite, then let's sling shite:

Has Hillary Clinton really been "vetted" as she so often claims?

Um, no.

Binge Drinking - Behavior - When People Drink Themselves Silly, and Why:

"The urge to binge mindlessly, though it can strike at any time, seems to stir in the collective unconscious during the last weeks of winter. Maybe it’s the television images from places like Fort Lauderdale and Cabo San Lucas, of communications majors’ face planting outside bars or on beaches."
