Hillary: Tell the GOP to Stop Being Such Cry Babies

How can the GOP command three days of the news cycle over such a trivial distraction as Clinton's "plantation" remark? They are big crybabies whining at the very slightest of slights.

How on earth can so much ink, bandwidth and videotape be wasted on such a non-issue as Hillary Clinton's "plantation" remark? How can the GOP command three days of a news cycle over such a trivial distraction? Though they're the ones now wielding absolute, near-dictatorial power, they are the big crybabies whining at the very slightest of slights.

Could it be any more clear that they are just playing the mainstream media like a fiddle, trumping up any news story they can find to keep reporters from reminding us that civil war in Iraq is approaching full bloom and that scores of Republican politicians are being swept up in one of the most extensive corruption and influence peddling schemes since the Harding administration?

Wolf Blitzer, what the hell are you thinking when you breathlessly tell us that you will be closely watching Ms. Clinton's speech today to see if she drops another "bombshell"?

Maybe it's just that we are so unused to Democrats, particularly Ms. Clinton, saying anything remotely hard-hitting, that when she finally ventures out of her DLC cocoon of Joe Lieberman-inspired Bush appeasement we are all too shocked to think straight.
