There would be no need to keep harping on the deplorable things the Clinton campaign has said about Barack Obama — if the Clinton campaign could just stop saying deplorable things.
Unfortunately, from Bill Shaheen and Mark Penn none-too-cleverly insinuating that Obama was a crack dealer, to Bob Kerrey claiming nonchalantly that Obama was schooled in a madrassa, to Bill Clinton describing Obama's opposition to the war as "the biggest fairy tale" he'd "ever seen", to Bill Clinton suggesting that Obama is a Jesse Jackson-style racial protest candidate and nothing more, to Hillary Clinton letting black people know their votes are adorable but not meaningful, the Clintons and their surrogates seem incapable of exercising self-control.
Since these ugly and borderline racist remarks did Hillary Clinton's campaign so much good in South Carolina, it should come as no surprise that today brings two more exhibits.
First, Bill Clinton struggled, but couldn't find any way to make the case for his wife without deriding Obama as "smoke and mirrors." For those keeping track, it took Clinton eight years since leaving office, and a full year into the presidential campaign, to learn the lesson that a former president and party leader could find better ways to spend his time than personally demeaning the party's new star, or as Clinton puts it, "defending Hillary." It took him four days to forget that lesson.
Oh, and never mind that Obama's policies are generally more substantive, more innovative, and more intelligently-crafted than Clinton's.
Then there's this disinterested commentary from Clinton apparatchik Ed Rendell, the governor of Pennsylvania, who was forecasting the results of his state's primary:
You've got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate.
Right, there's a crucial constituency that will vote for a woman but not a black man. And the Clintons will ride this feminists-for-racial-separatism movement to victory in November!
