Seems like the Clinton camp is just throwing around any charge they can think of, regardless of how guilty they are of it. It's like Arab countries accusing Israel of being an illiberal terrorist state so that people forget who the acutal illiberal terrorist states are.

This is great. Given this performance, I guess Obama and Clinton should tag-team McCain for using the "fired up and ready to go" comment the other day. Also, Obama clearly needs to avoid using the words ready, day, and one. Before long they'll only be using syllables, slapping their flippers against their chests and barking at one another like sea elephants.

I missed the point of this post. How does the video relate to the text?

Hilary wants to be POTDS - President of the Divided States.

Oh, come on -- I'm not a Hillary supporter, but this isn't "plagiarism," it's turning an opponent's words back against him, claiming (in effect) that his slogan is empty and misleading. Plagiarism would be declaring "Yes we can" while trying to conceal its origins in the Obama campaign. Clinton is doing the opposite of that here: She's explicitly invoking Obama by way of arguing that he merely CLAIMS a virtue that her program actually has.

Ralphnelle:

The Clinton campaign recently criticized Obama for borrowing a few phrases from Gov. Deval Patrick, really just a hand full of remarks about why words matter in politics. This attack came despite the fact that Patrick was the one that suggested Obama borrow the lines in the first place.

Now we find Hillary cribbing from Obama, as shown in the link.

KeenSally,

Got it. Thanks. I was up in the mountains all weekend, away from technology and convinced I was missing new developments in the "most important election of our lifetime." But, clearly, I was kidding myself. It's just more kindergarten-gate: no, we can't...yes, we can.

Hillary and Co. are approaching self-parody really, really fast.

I have to ask again: at what point do we retire the myth that the Clintons are masters of the political universe? I am still waiting for an impressive week from them that does not involve crying or some other variation on the victimhood routine.

Propositionjoe -- :-D

Hillary (or is it Billary?) is a fighter, no question. At some point, it might be necessary to ask whether they are effective fighters. If she's running against McCain, can we expect an ad chastizing him for staying at a Hilton hotel in Hanoi, getting massages and spa treatments, when a lot of brave young men were fighting and dying in combat?
