bickering
First, read this. From the description on NPR:
Obama Campaign Skewers Clinton E-mail Statement
Wednesday morning, the Clinton campaign sent reporters and bloggers covering the campaign a statement that consisted of questions and comments under the title of "Keystone Test: Obama Losing Ground."
The Obama campaign's communications department decided to annotate those questions and comments with some comments of their own... and boy, they held nothing back.
The thing is, I can't tell (if this is what it's purported to be) whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. On the one hand, it's downright immature. I mean jesus, it looks like the sort of he-said she-said bickering and bitch-slapping that happens between bitter boyfriends and girlfriends over email. You've all experienced it, you know how it goes. It's about as immature an exchange as one can imagine.
However, on the other hand, politics are built almost entirely from bullshit, and I do appreciate the snarky smackdown on a heap of bullshit. One way or another, I know these words didn't come from Obama himself. And while the response seems immature at the face of it, it sure as hell is a whole lot more respectable than Karl Rove-style tactics.
Also of note: O'bama t-shirts for St. Paddy's day. That's pretty effin' funny. I'm glad as hell they've got a sense of humor.
