I cannot imagine how I missed the opportunity to lambaste Hillary Clinton over the past two years. Seems like things hardly ever change, though. Now, she’s backtracking on her earlier recognition that the Michigan and Florida "primaries" — in which Barack Obama was not even on the ballot — would not count, as the states scheduled against the DNC rules. Michigan, Florida: Hush [chicagotribune.com]. At the same time, she’s complaining that the press treats Obama with kid gloves and only asks her the hard questions. What was once a coronation has turned into a stitch-and-bitch session. Hardly the stuff to inspire one to political participation.
