Carl Bernstein isn't just, on the basis of his Watergate-busting fame, a liberal icon. He's also a certified Hillary Clinton expert, having devoted years to researching and writing a definitive biography of her, A Woman in Charge. So his comments tonight on Hillary's graceless reaction to her stunning defeat at the hands of Barack Obama carry special weight, and are likely to reverberate through Dem circles. Here's Bernstein's brutal take, appearing on CNN .
CARL BERNSTEIN: One of the worst nights of Hillary Clinton's life. She had a chance at the end of the evening to be magnanimous, to say something about where her campaign is going to go. Instead she was shopworn, tired; it's exactly what they don't need, the Clinton campaign, and she's going to have an uphill fight from here in.
View the video here, not only to hear Bernstein's remarks, but to watch a graceless Hillary acknowledge Obama's victory only in passing while spending most of the same sentence speaking of primaries to come.

It’s not a matter of which man it was, but rather that it had to be a man at all.
Don’t ever doubt Hillary when she talks about having to sacrifice for her daughter.
After reading the article, I was expecting her to be total bitch on the video. I didn’t think she did that bad at all in her speech. It was all platitudes, but she wasn’t especially snotty.
:-)
Sad.
More UFOs in the skies that turn out to be flying ashtrays...
But evidently that's not good enough for the Hildabeast. Instead, she waits until AFTER Obama's victory speech to give a rambling speech followed by a bizarre question-and-answer segment that goes on for almost an hour!
She's just showing the country she is unfit to be our president.
What tomorrow? Bill Clinton already compared Obama to Jesse Jackson today.
And tomorrow Caroline Kennedy will endorse Senator Barack Obama.
Unless they are on the same stage, she pretends Obama does not exist and lets President Clinton attack him in all asundry such meanspirited, racist and otherwise un-presidential manners. Truly despicable people who I can’t wait to see run off the political scene.
Best case, Hillary loses either the primary or the general and then loses her seat in the Senate. I want them out of my life.
It’s a civil war, kind of like the Shia’s and the Sunni’s.
Funny, I didn't read that until after my post... I believe the word is prescient.
Clinton fans do not care about her gracelessness. If they cared about any such things they would not be hillary backers to begin with. It was an ugly speech but so what...Clinton voters are ugly people.
No, it’s uphill for Obama from here on.
Hillary won Michigan, likely in Florida, big lead in Ohio.
Obama is running out of math.
Wishful thinking. After all those "black leaders" go to work and start earning their "consulting fees" she'll be fine. After all, these are the Clintons--they're down for the struggle.
California may be a battle for Shillary....I understand that the California Teacher’s Association is not behind shillary...they are behind Obama. That is just one group.
You nailed it.
Unfortunately for the Big O’, Hillary doesn’t need California.
You bet. Those turkey basters have hard edges. Ouch.
