geez. First you called Coulter and asked for an apology – ridiculous and done only for some publicity and some sympathy and to stir anti Coullter folks up. Now your questioning Clinton’s commitment to women’s issues because she isn’t a walking women’s movement machine. Give me a break Mrs Edwards. Clinton isn’t focusing solely on women’s issues, she’s talking about issues that face all Americans. If she was talking more about women’s issues you’d have something to say about THAT and you’d probably find some fabulous way to spin it. You are very good at that.
Mrs Edwards, If you want to address Clinton’s position on the various “women’s issues” then you go right ahead and do that. But don’t tiptoe along that “Hillary acts like a man” line.
It’s politics and Mrs Edwards plays it better than her husband does. Too bad she won’t be running, seriously. She’s one hell of a politician. Which makes me dislike her – and her husband. He’s running a distant third with me, possibly because Mrs Edwards is too damn good at what she does – she’s too good at playing political games. I’m really tired of games.
Not that I completely disagree with you — I think political pissing contests are a waste of time, too. But just for clarity, what Elizabeth Edwards did was to ask Ann Coulter to stop making her attacks personal. I don’t recall her ever asking for an apology, just asking her to keep the discourse issues-based rather than personal.
As far as the games go, Hillary is a master. That’s why she’s gotten as far as she has. They all are, so for me the key is to see how much substance they’re putting with the spin. Right now Obama is in the lead.
Oh, and not to spam here, but who the heck put this video together? Why would they put audio of an interview against a slideshow of Hillary and Bill Clinton looking ‘spousely’? I don’t know what the timeframe of these shots are, but I’ll bet they covered a timespan of years — the two are rarely in the same place at the same time.
