I guess if the media and the republicans teamed up to go after democrats the way they go after republicans they would come up with a shitload of goods on them as well. The problem is they aren't as organized as the Media Matters group,etc.... But I guess moving ahead is better than getting left back in Junior High School.

And somehow I doubt that Hillary is too far removed from this type of politics, which is among the reasons I do not support her presidential bid. On the plus side, if Obama gets the nomination, I think he will beat McCain and then hopefully this kind of crap will be a moot issue. All too typical I’m afraid.
