Hillary Clinton's campaign apparently didn't take too kindly to the harsh rhetoric from L.A. music mogul David Geffen, courtesy of today's Maureen Dowd. Geffen, who is backing Barack Obama, called Bill Clinton "reckless" and clearly is still upset that Clinton didn't grant a pardon to cause celeb native American Leonard Peltier. More Geffen: "Marc Rich getting pardoned? An oil-profiteer expatriate who left the country rather than pay taxes or face justice?"
Clinton chief spokesperson Howard Wolfson, in a release this a.m., is "demanding that" Obama "disavow personal attacks" from Geffen. Wolfson: "While Senator Obama was denouncing slash and burn politics yesterday, his campaign's finance chair was viciously and personally attacking Senator Clinton and her husband. If Senator Obama is indeed sincere about his repeated claims to change the tone of our politics, he should immediately denounce these remarks, remove Mr. Geffen from his campaign and return his money. While Democrats should engage in a vigorous debate on the issues, there is no place in our party or our politics for the kind of personal insults made by Senator Obama's principal fundraiser."
We're waiting on a response from Obama's camp. And while we wait, we'd love to speculate as to why the Clinton folks chose pick this battle? It's not as if they are used to getting good Dowd columns. And considering that this may be the first serious back-n-forth between Clinton and Obama of the campaign, it could end up stepping on the NV Dem-AFSCME cattle call. Do the Clinton folks want to see how quickly Obama backs down (if he does)? Do they simply want to highlight Obama's Hollywood ties? Or are some Clinton folks simply mad at Geffen? Has he said harsher things that we don't know about?
Why do they want Obama to disavow Geffen's comments? Do they do this with every citizen?
I think it's both annoying and hilarious that overpaid Hollywood airheads, who have become ridiculously wealthy from spinning mental cotton candy, think they are brilliant kingmakers who should be in charge of picking the most powerful leaders in the world for all us peons. Geffin can't even keep the peasants off his personal beach, and he thinks he should be God.
There's certainly nothing in Geffen's FBI file that could possibly embarrass him if publicized.
The big name musical philanthropists have really beat up on the Clintons over the last few years. Bono said Clinton did "f*** all" for Africa. Bob Geldoff Praised Bush for doing more for Africa than any president in recent history and said Bubba paid lip service but did little else.
Some of the big name lefties aren't completely stupid.
There were higher bidders.
Ideally, and I doubt this happens, Hillary gets caught going off. She is known to have a vicious temper, I would love for her to lose it in public.
When you are worth 4.4 billion dollars you don't need to be afraid of anything.

Ahem.
That would be right up there with Jack Ruby blowing a hole in Lee Harvey Oswald as one of the most-watched news footages in history.
Avoid private planes, too. Democrats in planes tend to crash in Minnesota, New York, and Arkansas (missed Rockefeller but came close).
I think Geffen's third richest resident of LA County. Eli Broad was number 1. Don't remember #2.
Geffen's costing Hillary money and drawing support from her.
She has already done it on tape, with her sick and tired speech. The shrieking of an Ex-Wife-From-Hell, the Mother-in-Law-Who-Won't-Die.
I wish there was a secret camera that would catch it, if there was not a Public tantrum. She has been in public life so long I doubt she loses it in a speech, but among her employees I bet she gets lively!
Couldn't we include the close call of OwlGore near Chicago?
Ah yes, and they speak Mandarin no doubt.
Here’s a close look at the church attended by presidential candidate Barack Obama, the Trinity United Church of Christ—a Christian version of the Nation of Islam
I was howling.
LOL Geffen is having buyer's remorse.
