  Bill Is Not in the Building

  CNN tried to pin Hillary down on Ted Kennedy's comments that Obama=JFK just like CNN=Politics. After Clinton was done paying her respects to Teddy she quickly moved on to downplay the role surrogates' have in campaigns. "This is about the two of us" she said, and then later added, "You evaluate the two of us because nobody else will be on the ballot." I believe she's talking about that husband of hers.

  Wolf Blitzer, not content to have comments stay implicit, bounced a question to Barack Obama about Bill Clinton's tenure in office, and whether Democrats should remember them fondly. Obama, who called Bill out repeatedly a week or two ago, didn't take the bait. He didn't play the victim card, nor did he say Bill's presidential successes are overstated.

  I stand corrected on that whole slobberknocker thing.
