While she is far too sympathetic to big business to suit me, I would much rather see Hillary Clinton judged for the nomination on the basis of her ideas and experience than crap like this:
Washington: I just read on The Post’s Trail page that Clinton dropped by the press bus to drop off coffee etc. and was met with cold silence. Wow. Even after 15 years, why is there so much press hostility towards the Clintons? If it turns out to be McCain vs. Clinton (my current guess) in the general, the difference in press coverage between these two is going to be as staggering as it is depressing.
Lois Romano: I was struck by that as well. I have covered Hillary Clinton off on and for 15 years and I’ve never seen anything that stark happen. While there is a tense relationship between HRC and the media, I’m not sure why the reporters on the bus wouldn’t have tried to take advantage of her appearance and ask some good questions. All she could do is refuse to answer them. It’s not for the press to be hostile to Clinton — it’s the media’s responsibility to cover her.
Because no one else says it better, I’ll point you yet again to the late James Capozzolla’s seminal post, “Al Gore and The Alpha Girls: The Enduring Power of Cliques in a Post-High-School World.”
Or you could get some idea by playing this.
These people have hated Hillary for fifteen years. Did anyone expect them to stop now?
