Logic

When everybody laughed at Lady de Rothschild, for calling Barrack Obama the E-Word, she kind of dropped from sight, leaving her partner, Amy Siskind, to take a turn as HRC's hit-woman. Well, she did go back to London, England, where she proceeded to call Obama the E-word again, this time from out of the country.

Course you've got Susan Estrich comparing John Edwards' conduct to Russia's invasion of Georgia, while pretending that the stain Bill Clinton left on Monica Lewinsky's dress was his one and only assignation. She also lists the reasons why Bill Clinton was entitled.

I think that it was terribly unkind for Clinton's people to intimidate the Edwards family as they have. Elizabeth Edwards is dying, if she wants to live out the last year or so of her life with her eyes glued shut, and her thumbs in her ears, well then that shouldn't be any less her prerogative as it remains Hillary Clinton's. The Edwards family have things to get in order. Plans for their children's futures, and precious little time to waste watching high-toned hypocrites showcase their schadenfreude. Elizabeth Edwards might have had something interesting to say at the convention, but we won't hear her voice, as she's unlikely to go. Her children will soon have only their father, they're going to need him.

It's hardly the first time a family dealing with a big, scary, crisis came together, and when the crisis began to ebb, somebody went and did the wrong thing. Is he getting a little cute with the details? Probably. But I'm guessing. I have my own problems, and no dog in that fight.

I don't think that it's too much to ask, when playing the hypocrisy card, that a little logic be included.
