LIE OF THE WEEK: 01-25-2008
Senator Hillary Clinton on Senator Obama's strategy of exposing their lies about him:
"I think what we saw last night was that he's very frustrated," she said. "I believe that the events of the last 10 or so days, the outcome of New Hampshire and Nevada, have apparently convinced him to adopt a different strategy."
THE TRUTH: New Hampshire clearly doesn't reflect the opinion of the rest of America. Nevada was the first indication of the Clintons stooping to the dirtiest tricks of politics as they were on the verge of losing the election. Yes, Senator Obama is frustrated, but he should have known better. President Clinton and Senator Clinton are not honorable enough to expect them to not resort to dirty politics and his campaign team should have planned better. It will be an interesting judgment of America's moral courage today when we see whether their underhandedness ultimately leads to their downfall or their return to power.
Separately, there was some truth coming out of the Clinton campaign for once. When questioned about President Clinton's disgraceful behavior, never before seen from a former president, Matt McKenna, President Clinton's press secretary, said "History will judge the impact on the Clinton legacy, not daily or weekly political reporters." History has already judged Clinton as one of the worst presidents ever and any attempt to recover any dignity by doing good work as a former president has now been rightfully wiped away forever.
