Reply #36: Some good points about treating Drudge

[chrislrob]

like a real news source. But on the rest of it, I think most of you are wrong.

Best comment? THK is not the candidate. Damn skippy, so why does the campaign allow her to do damage TO the candidate? Why is SHE so oblivious to the fact that she is doing damage to the candidate? The same people that say THK can't hurt Kerry are the exact same people that know how much HRC helped Clinton.

And go to hell for trying to make it sound like I'm attacking her because she's a woman. I'm attacking her because she's a public image liability. Not my fault that she's not a he and trying to become the future "First Gentleman" or whatever you call the husband of the president (although I suspect you call him "Bill Clinton").

As for the argument that she's a strong, sassy, bold, brassy, brainy, zany, independent, unrepentant modern woman, I'd say that I've seen "strong women" like her before--on the Jerry Springer show...

Okay, maybe that was too much. But dammit, I'd sure like to see her act like someone that either knows what to say (like Elizabeth Edwards) or knows that she's better off saying nothing (like Laura Bush).

Look, it is oh so obvious that THK doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks of her. I just wish she would make it a little less obvious until after the election.

P.S. And you all know that her comments have gotten exposure on more than just Drudge and the Washington Post, so just stop it.
