Planet Clinton
Sunday, May 25, 2008 Send to a friend
It is surely, as serial Clinton-basher Andrew Sullivan points out, an extraordinary irony that while Hillary Clinton was awaiting a cataclysmic gaffe from Barack Obama to aid her cause, it is she who has fatally slipped. Even if her comments have been misinterpreted, simply raising the sceptre of Bobby Kennedy's June assassination while running against an African American candidate (as justification for staying in the race), could only backfire. The 'Clinton machine' has malfunctioned. The tyres are spinning in the mud. The media have been looking for a chance to kill off her campaign. Now they have it. Condemnation has been swift and fulsome.
Update: There's fascinating analysis here on the New York Times politics blog of what HRC actually said and how the media ran with it...
