Moral authority

Bill Clinton gave a heckler permission to disagree with him, provided he didn’t kill a tree to do it. Isn’t that great, he travels the world in a private jet, and yet he is morally superior to all those who use paper.

Does anybody remember a couple of weeks ago, a reporter with Republican leanings said that the Clinton camp had dug up some dirt on Obama, but were too superior to use it? Only to include in a press release that Obama wanted to be president in Kindergarten? Only to say that it was a joke? Now they’re using the spouse of one of their campaign chairs to bring up youthful drug use of their opponents. I’m sure Hillary is too cowardly to admit that she is behind the back-handed swipe, but it does beg the question, did Hillary inhale?

By the way, I did think it a fair question, when Tim Russert asked Rudy if presidential girlfriends were entitled to Secret Service protection, but we do have a precedent, are Bill Clinton’s girlfriends afforded such protection? How awkward could that get?
