OLD AS THE HILLS

The Obama drug story has legs.

Clinton Rejects Official's Obama Comment

This is just the kind of hardball politics that the Clintons practice.

Get a story out there and then reprimand the guy who did it so that you don't seem to be using so called negative campaigning.

They have used this skillfully for three days or more and kept the Obama/drug thing alive.

Now the progressive wing and the lefty blogosphere hates this sort of "underhanded" tactic. They are embarrassed by any form of assertiveness.

That is why we haven't had any strong Democratic politicians for too long now.

We do not play the traditional game in the tough manner.

I don't like it much myself. I am, after all, a lefty progressive blogger.

But among her many positives, Hillary Clinton knows how to fight and play rough. And I want the Demos to win.

Do any of the supporters of truth and light think the GOoPers will play nice this time?

If they do they are fatally naive.

This is the way that the work is done and it is done in the trenches. It is not traditional Democratic politics. Look at FDR. Look at Truman. And then we got Adlai and the whole thing went into the shitter. Kennedy was a fighter almost. Bobby was all elbows. Then the softies.

The NH guy fell on his sword but you can believe that there is a calculated spin to it. No one put him up to it. Hillary has deniability. No one has even winked or nudged. But they/we know it was a put up job and no mistake. Like I said. It is the way the Clintons and all good politicians operate.

Kerry was always blindsided by this stuff. He was a numbnuts patrician. Even worse.

Wait until Mitt or Huck or Fred or the professional POW gets up there.

They are going to get their asses kicked if Clinton is the nominee.

Notice that I have taken Rudy off my list of possibles.

And my liberal bretheren—they are pissed because she said "now we get to the fun part".

Well, hell YES!

Do the Harry Truman thing to the bastards.
