The more I think about this, the more I think it really is a non-issue.
arctangent mentioned that it does make sense for Kantor to have been talking about the Bush camp "shitting" over the results favoring Clinton in that
other Clinton election many moons ago. More importantly, he brought something up that I feel is a pressing concern.
To take such a scenario as credible seems to require having pre-emptively decided that no one associated with the Clintons is a decent human being.I think there's this drive to turn the petty non-issue bickering back at Clinton, if only to show that Obama's not getting talked about because he's the sleaziest dude around... but because the Clintons are willing to "go there," while taking advantage of the fact no one's doing it to them. So yeah, there's a tendency now to leap on the Clinton camp scratching and tearing, if only as a reaction to receiving huge piles of the same from them.
Still. Saying "they started it" doesn't really excuse it, and this is a tendency that even I'm not immune to (obviously).
It's a high standard and even I'm not living up to it as well as I should. But even having said that, I feel we can do better. If nothing else,
I can do better. Props to
arctangent for reminding me.
