Either this man is a master satirist or an inmate in a mental institution.

Lets stipulate the obvious: Hillary Clintons reference last week to the RFK assassination was pluperfectly stupid and insensitive. It could prove to be fatal to her campaign, though I doubt that it will. I'm sure George Allen feels her pain.

Your comment caused me to google the guy. I'm strongly leaning towards mental institution inmate.

Deprive the media of its audience and its sponsors of their customers.Seems to me Big Media is doing a fine job of that themselves.

“If a Republican or (so-called) conservative makes a gaffe, as they do almost daily, their misspeak is usually politely ignored.”
Bizarro World. This guy needs a straightjacket. Seriously.
If anyone really believes that, they need to be locked up to keep from harming themselves.

I am sure Dan Quayle would agree. Why he made the horrible mistake of reading the answer to a spelling test and didn't catch that they had spelled it wrong.
The media then made it one of their basic stories which had to be mentioned along with some slur at Quayle.
If Dam Quayle had said any of the things Hillary and especially Obama havee said, he would be the butt of jokes for maybe a hundred years.

Meanwhile, glaring issues potentially devastating to the Republican candidates are kept off the front pages and off the mainstream TV screens:....Right there, that paragraph, tells you all you need to know. The "writer", like Rosie o'Tard, has plagiarized it's talking points from the DU and/or the indymedia.

Where to begin?
Al Gore was relentlessly pounded for his claim to have invented the internet. He never made that claim.
He SAID, "I took the initiative in creating the Internet." IT'S ON TAPE. Whether or not he "misspoke" he clearly made that idiotic statement. It's a lie to say that "he never made that claim."
I notice that the word "sniper" never occurs in this piece, nor the word "Cambodia." Both of those (the Hillary "sniper fire" story and the Kerry "Christmas in Cambodia" story) are the most egregious inventions that they were caught at, and it tends to invalidate the author's thesis that Democratic gaffes are momentary alipa of the tongue.

You know, like the Texas Air National Guard documents proving that George W. Bush deserted. And the story that Karl Rove betrayed that covert CIA agent Valerie Plame.
Oops.

Comparing Democrat and Republican gaffes is very instructive, though.
Republican gaffes really do tend to be slips of the tongue, while Democrat gaffes tend to be wild, absurd resume enhancements.
Like Tom “I flew combat missions in Vietnam” Harkin.
And Hillary “I was named after Sir Edmund Hillary” “I landed under sniper fire” Clinton.
And Al “Erich Segal wrote Love Story about Tipper and me” “I took the initiative in creating the Internet” Gore.
And John “Being in Cambodia that Christmas was seared, SEARED into my memory” Kerry.
And Barack “My uncle liberated Auschwitz” Obama.

When George W. Bush was on the campaign trail, he gave the same speech daily at 5 stops. The press corp assigned to his campaign didn't agree with his message and didn't care to hear it repeated ad nauseum.
They have admitted that they took delight in repeating the gaffes from speeches that he'd already given without error.
I suggested at the time that perhaps he should deliberately flub his speeches on the key message point as a means of making sure that the media DID cover his key message points.

John McCains belated shedding of the embarrassing Hagee and Parsely endorsements will be gone from the news and forgotten within the week. In contrast, the Rev. Wright Goddam America uproar is still alive after several months. How many years did McCain associate with Hagee or Parsely? What did McCain say in defense of either of these men? Did McCain later flip flop and say that he COULD be critical of them after he said he COULDN'T be critical of them? Did he also try the line that their statements were taken out of context? Did he try saying that privately he'd already spoken with them? Did he try saying that he wasn't there "that day"?
DUmbass.

And the Clintons were hounded by the alleged Whitewater scandal throughout Bill Clintons presidency, until at long last, the Ken Starr inquisition was forced to admit that there was no there there, a finding that was essentially ignored by the mainstream media. Ask Tom DeLay how it feels to be run out of office by a witchfinder general who resigns from the case before bringing it to trial 3 years after the charges are made.

It is clear from the context that Hillary was invoking a familiar political circumstance in order to support her decision to stay in the race through June... I think it is a mistake for people to take offense. Exactly! Clintons essential point: three months is an eternity in politics. History confirms that a lot can happen before the August convention: The election used to get started far later than August of the preceding year. The DNC wants this wrapped up already.
And the good dirt is saved until October. Just ask Albert Gore Junior who's team leaked decades old news of GW Bush's DUI arrest.
If it cost him 0.52% of the national vote (which it almost surely did) then it cost him the popular vote that Gore loves to boast of.
