They Just Can't Help It

It looked last night, for a few moments, that the Clinton campaign had stopped its scorched earth election tactics. But, they just can't stop themselves from wading in the shit.

Today, the Clinton campaign held a press conference call to attack Obama's policy on mandatory health insurance (fair game). During the presser, Clinton ally Len Nichols said Obama's position was the same as Nazis marching through Skokie.

Ah, hello, "Nazis?" Really? Got a whole lot of irrational hatred going there, don't you Lenny? The sweet thing is that a Clinton spokesman opined the he didn't think the Nazi reference was appropriate but that it was understandable. Another one of those soft, not quite apologies I find as disgusting as the original slurs.

It seems the Clinton camp just can't go an entire news cycle without taking a big mouthful of shit and spitting it in the direction of the Sen. Obama. And, yes Hillary, I'm keeping track. A leader is responsible for the acts of her subordinates.
