The Media Mob

Hillary's Press Corps Flush With Pride in Austin, Tex.

 

Here's the Wall Street Journal's Jackie Calmes on arriving to a Hillary event in Austin last night.

It was immediately interpreted as something of a metaphor for the Clinton campaign’s attitude to the press: With Sen. Hillary Clinton at Austin’s convention center for “a Texas-sized townhall,” her media entourage was taken to its work space — in a men’s room...

Tina Brown was there--"literally inches from a urinal" reports the Huffington Post--and so were so many others who had to file next to urinals and--we're only guessing here--San Jamar toilet paper dispensers.

Here's the video from the AP (titled "Raw Video"). We spotted a few familiar faces: there's Glenn Thrush of Newsday (wearing the reporter's hat), Michael McAuliff of the Daily News, and David Green of NPR, walking away holding his radio equipment.

You want THIS woman and her Campaign surrogates who would PLAN something like this -- to run OUR White House??? Low class. No class. Petulant, petty and pathetic. Women of America, WEEP. This can't be the first viable woman candidate for the Presidency??? Not even George Washington would put anyone in a urinal...at Valley Forge. Turn the page.

Of course there have been other viable women in both parties who could have run; voters are fickle and for some reason this old crone has touched a nerve.
Frankly I think either one of Maine's senators would be viable, Christine Todd Whitman should have been viable in 1996; Elizabeth Dole should have been extremely viable in 2000, she had more experience than anyone then except McCain.
The Democrats have several female governors who should be viable for 2012, or even this year.
Betty Ford was first lady and congressional wife for 27 years, and she would be more qualified than Hillary.
