“…Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are going at each other tooth and claw, with an occasional elbow thrown in for good measure; this weekend, they clashed bitterly over purported mudslinging, even in the absence of any discernible mud. On Sunday, John Edwards said his mounting attacks on Clinton were “milquetoast compared to what we’re going to see next fall,” as if his repeated blows were just a little tough love. Oh, and he also accused her of wanting to perpetuate the occupation of Iraq.

Meanwhile, somebody has been calling voters in New Hampshire and Iowa, bad-mouthing Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith; the other Republican candidates are, of course, shocked that anyone would take such a cheap shot at the guy who happens to be leading in New Hampshire and Iowa. Fred Thompson had fighting words for Mike Huckabee, saying he was “pro-life but he’s liberal on everything else.” And John McCain accused Romney and Rudy Giuliani of being dependent on “briefing books and PowerPoints,” when the more important qualifications for the presidency are character and judgment.

Ain’t it grand?…”…BS
