You Gotta Love Maureen Dowdby: JonnyBBadTue Mar 04, 2008 at 07:07:13 AM EST |

In a NYT Opinion piece Sunday, Ms. Dowd casts her acid pen Hillary's way. She is on target, and she read my mind...Saturday night at dinner with friends(I don't know for how long as the former Clinton appointee told me he was for McCain) I compared her to Cheney in fear mongering. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03... Channeling her inner Cheney, Hillary Clinton dropped a fear bomb, as Michelle Obama might call it, implying in a new ad that if her opponent is elected, your angelic, innocent, sleeping children could die in a terrorist attack. The clean up woman is demure looking...but what's the point ? It's hard to discern the message of the ad. The scariest thing is not the persistently ringing phone but an Andrea Yates-looking mother who's creeping up on the sleeping babes in the dark. The point can't be that Hillary is superior to Obama in international crisis management, because she's done no more of it than he has. She's only done domestic crisis management, cleaning up after Frisky Bill. I hope Barack rolls over her today Obambi-No-More briskly dismissed Hillary's attempt to cast him as a global ingénue. "Senator Clinton may not be aware, but we already had a red phone moment," he said at an outdoor rally here, with the crowd of 8,000 booing at the mention of Hillary's ad. "It was the decision to invade Iraq. Senator Clinton picked up the phone and gave the wrong answer. And John McCain picked up the phone and gave the wrong answer. And George Bush picked up the phone and gave the wrong answer." |
