Bill Clinton Blames media for Obama's delegate lead
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/05/20/politics/fromtheroad/entry4110077.shtml

How's it the media's fault that Obama has more delegates?!

1. Obama is really turning the status quo into a bunch of complainers
literally and figuratively

Things are already looking brighter for this country.

2. It's rather pathetic isn't it?
Bill Clinton, what happened? They really should bow out with dignity.

4. After Ali
knocked him out in Africa, George Foreman blamed it on the ropes being too loose, then on being poisoned, and after a couple weeks, he insisted that it wasn't really him in the ring that night.

Years later, he was able to joke about his need to blame anything and everything, rather than being able to admit he got knocked out by a superior fighter. I remember him saying that if he could have blamed it on his shoes being too tight, he would have done that, too.

5. Jesus Bill, Shut the fuck up....
Save what legacy you have left. Have you no sense of pride? Where were you when Kerry was being eviscerated by the Media since 04? Where were you when the Democrats were completely shut out by the media these past few years?

You would think with Scallion and Murdock on board, you had the media sown up, eh? And everyone knows, Hillary is now Fox's newest "darling". She now quotes Turdblossom like he is personally inspired from God.

Just go away, save what little legacy you have left.

6. Someone asked Hillary what she was going to do about her big ass.
She said "I'm going to stay married to him!"

10. LOL
Yeah where was this fighting spirit while we were dragged into facism and all our jobs were sent overseas?

Hmmm? How about putting all this energy into fixing our country.

7. She was toast after Obama fought her to a draw on Super Tuesday
One side was prepared to compete for all 50 states and until June 3, the other wasn't. The media had ZERO to do with it.

12. Bill, please
That one shred of dignity you have left is fraying fast. For your own sake, shut the fuck up.

21. How soon until he blasts "the people on TV" as "The Liberal Media"?
Way to whip up class resentment against people who are reporting news you just don't want to hear, Bill.

:grr:

Why does the Democratic Party continue to let BOTH Clintons drive the wedge issues? It's tantamount to stealing a few things on the way out of the White House.

Somebody had better be making moves to wrap this up soon or they'll have succeeded in amping up the resentment in some factions of Hillary's "base" beyond reconciliation.

24. The title is misleading.
The article really doesn't back it up. It's a pretty good article about how the Clintons are taking shots at the media.

That would be the same media that DUer's take shots at all the time, wouldn't it?

26. And the fact that Hillary has run a negative, despicable, divisive campaign
...wouldn't have anything to do with it, would it Bill??

27. Just as Hillary Clinton's early lead was due to the media.
That's what being a star is about. He shouldn't be bitter at being set aside in favor of the Next Big Thing.
