Using The Hatchet On Hillary

January 26, 2007 on 5:29 pm | In Main, Media, National |

As regular readers of this blog know, there are few public figures I’m less enamoured of than Hillary (sorry for the double negative). But after reading this column by Gerard Baker, I am tempted to feel slightly sorry for her.

Baker’s essential points about the junior senator from New York (that she is a phony and chameleon) ring true to me. But does he have to be so mean about it? After all, there are lots of profoundly annoying pretenders to the throne out there.

Here again, a journalist (and a Brit, no less) has succeeded in making an unappealing figure look sympathetic. Move over, Wolf!

  2. Maybe he heard what team Clinton did to Mark Warner and figured she deserved a couple of sharp blows to the head.

  3. I’ve heard Hillary’s minions did some stuff behind the scenes to Warner. And, on background to reporters, they are already going after Obama.

    What’s next? If he gets some traction, maybe they will go after Chris Dodd for … womanizing. They could send Bill out to do that
