Pot Kettle Black Award

It's been a while since we've awarded one of these, but I have to give one to Billary Clinton.

The Clinton's have the audacity to claim that Obama and Edwards have been given a "free ride" by the media.

Are you kidding me?

Excerpt
"You know for both Sen. Edwards and Obama, they've been given pretty much a free ride and that's fine," Clinton said. "I don't mind having to get up there and take all the scrutiny. But at some point the free ride ends, maybe it ends now, maybe it ends in a month maybe it ends in the general election. You cannot be elected president if you do not withstand the tough questions."

What scrutiny? After your debate performances, you've refused to talk to the press and answer questions. Has the press even made that public? Nada. This on top of the arm twisting of the media to spew your spin. And the press just gobbled it all up.

It took the NY Times and all their fact checkers exactly how long to come to the plate and realize that your experience was barely above Obama and Edwards. Remember the "inevitable" candidate?

In all seriousness. There is one thing an overwhelmingly liberal media does for republicans. They treat their candidates with kid gloves and the campaigns, surrounded by all this media adulation, are not prepared when the body blows start coming in. And now the press senses an Obama movement, so they're going to lay off reporting any Obama warts; just like they did with the Clintons when she was "inevitable".

But don't worry about Billary. I'm sure all their private detectives will come up with some dirt on Obama at some critical juncture. After all, they did squeeze that poor kindergarten teacher for Obama's essay.
