Hillary’s Non-Whisper Campaign
By Joshua Rosenstock | December 13, 2007
This reminds me of the 2000 South Carolina Bush campaign smear of John McCain. Hillary’s staff has gotten desperate; this is direct proof that her candidacy is officially up in the air. In the eyes of the Clintons, lying about drug use (or other topics in front of a grand jury) is acceptable but telling the truth is shunned. Are these the values we want in our White House?
A top adviser to Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign said that Democrats should give more thought to Sen. Barack Obama’s admissions of illegal drug use before they pick a presidential candidate.
Obama’s campaign said the Clinton people were getting desperate. Clinton’s campaign tried to distance itself from the remarks Wednesday, and the adviser said later he regretted making them.
Clinton’s campaign said it had nothing to do with his comments, and Shaheen said later he regretted them.
“I deeply regret the comments I made today and they were not authorized by the campaign in any way,” Bill Shaheen said in an e-mail released by the campaign.
A campaign spokeswoman, Kathleen Strand, earlier had said “Senator Clinton is out every day talking about the issues that matter to the American people. These comments were not authorized or condoned by the campaign in any way.”
