The Politics of Parsing Posted by Joe T. November 5 at 5:21 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)
The anti-Hillary crowd is gonna froth at the mouth after this one.
Some talented, Edwards-backed video editors created a YouTube montage of Clinton's dodgiest answers from the recent Demoratic debate. It's a very well-done clip - the message is clear and the selected responses illustrate the oft-repeated criticism that Hillary's politics are mostly about trying to please everyone at once. Even more importantly for Edwards (and the other Democratic contenders), the video has exploded into a level of popularity that has gotten it played on the cable news networks for free. It's a nationwide Clinton-bashing ad that doesn't cost them a cent; somewhere, a $400 head of hair is having a very good day.
