From the Xerox insanity to embracing McCain, Hillary attacks and attacks and attacks

First, there was the Xerox insanity (this is the real plagiarism).

Then it was shame on you.

Followed by the triumph of pessimism (no wagic wand for you!).

Then it was the media's turn, and Rezko, in the guise of the media. (By the way, I completely agree with my friend Mark Hall who feels like the Clintons have stabbed him in the back. In the 1990s, we defended them on everything from Monica Lewinsky to Whitewater, from draft dodging to Gennifer Flowers -- and now they want shove Rezko down our throat? As if there was any possible comparison between the accusations made against them.)

This weekend, there was 3:00 AM.

And now Hillary "disloyal Democrat" Clinton is saying the John McCain is better prepared for the Presidency than Barack Obama.

Leaving aside the fact that both Clinton and McCain supported the war in Iraq, can you imagine the difficulties Clinton would have debating McCain after her statements today? She basically said that both she and McCain were equally ready for the Presidency. I doubt McCain will be so kind.

And that brings me to a video that dharmafarmer at Daily Kos brought to my attention. It's of Barack Obama challenging John McCain on Iraq.

This video shows one of the many reasons why Barack Obama should be the Democratic nominee: he can challenge John McCain on Iraq in a way that Hillary Clinton can't -- because she voted for the war.
