Clinton supporters running rhetorically amok? No! It can’t be so. Cue the haters, the jealous, and those out for revenge. This Politico headline says it all.
I mean, seriously. After “Hardball” yesterday, with Chris Matthews
stirring up the Clinton-Kennedy fantasy feud, you would have thought that world
peace had been declared, because nothing was so important for Matthews and his
ilk than to make up out of whole cloth a feud on which Secretary of State designee
Clinton could care less about engaging.
“This is entirely Governor Paterson’s decision, Senator Clinton completely respects the privacy of his process so will not be commenting on it or any individual candidate, nor does any third party speak on her behalf.” – Philippe Reines.
Steve Clemons asks the right questions (as usual) about a possible Senator Caroline Kennedy (Schlossberg), though you’ll have to ignore the unfortunate headline.
Sam Stein has more, but unfortunately relies on “multiple reports” of HRC supporters being idiots about the Kennedy possibility, even though Clinton has nothing to do with their political jealousies.
…and yes, I’ve heard from some of HRC supporters who don’t like the idea, but frankly, almost all of them are still in revenge mode, something that is not only a waste of time, but too petty for the problems we face today. Ignore the peanut gallery on this one.
As Clemons says in the post I linked to above, it’s not like Caroline is Sarah Palin, and she was nominated to be vice president, without one clue about anything remotely qualifying her for the job.
This is a non-issue for Clinton, who has moved on to matters of State, which with the world as it is upon Bush’s leaving will certainly keep her busy. But still, it evidently has to be said out
loud. Don’t expect Matthews or other haters to drop it, however. Drama is their beat.
