Mission Accomplished, Hillary! Bill's "sniper-gate" revival all gone from tee-vee news!

[npincus]

MSNBC masterbating to the Obama "bitter" comment, but not a mention of HRC's hubby's confabulations on "sniper-gate" which was on track to dominate the Sunday morning cable political news. Hooray! Mission accomplished.

Standing by His Woman

By MAUREEN DOWD

WASHINGTON

Hillary’s right.

The boys are holding her back.

And the worst part is, they’re her own boys.

Fresh from pushing the preposterous Mark Penn to the rear of her leaky boat, Hillary has to deal with Bill making waves again.

He spent the week taking the fun out of dysfunction, putting the “I” in id, and getting flaky just when Hillary has to be flawless.

In a mystifying burst of nuttiness, right in time for the Sunday talk shows, Bill twice dredged up Hillary’s rococo story about sniper fire in Bosnia.

He defended his wife on confusing her facts by confusing his facts — a disconcerting reminder about what climbing back on a presidency-built-for-two would be like.

“A lot of the way this whole campaign has been covered has amused me,” the unamused former president said Thursday night in Boonville, Ind.

He’s absolutely crazed, and not just because he feels that he never got the sort of incandescent press coverage that Obama gets — except maybe when he and Al Gore were on that bus, hailed as “Heartthrobs of the Heartland.” Bill is also crazed about the ineluctable fact that he isn’t Obama.

6. yeah, read that- good one. & Frank Rich was spot-on, as usual.

I'd say Mo is no match for the teevee repeating one theme ad nauseaum.

8. MSNBC's Tim Russert and crew

missed that memo too. Not only did he cover Bill's recent comments on Kosovo, he also replayed all the clips of Hillary talking up being under sniper fire, plus the clip of what really happened

Going even further, his panel discussed Mark Penn's connection to Columbia and what that meant for that campaign; and then threw in the issue of exactly how Clinton has run her campaign. The panel weighed in on whether it was fair to use this as a metric on her executive abilities. The panel agreed it was fair, and that the campaign hadn't been run well at all. Even Carville admitted that Clinton was likely headed for defeat.

7. And also her non-response to the $800,000 question (Bill, Colombia, angels on a pin)
