Laughable, this report from Robert Novak:.
WASHINGTON — Agents of Sen. Hillary Clinton are spreading the word in Democratic circles that she has scandalous information about her principal opponent for the party’s presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama, but has decided not to use it. The nature of the alleged scandal was not disclosed.
This word-of-mouth among Democrats makes Obama look vulnerable and Clinton look prudent. It comes during a dip for the front-running Clinton after she refused to take a stand on New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s now discarded plan to give driver’s licenses to illegal aliens.
Too clever by half. At need, Hillary Clinton and her people, like bored chimps, start flinging feces at the others in the cage. But the way she’s doing it gives her the ability to claim she never released the information… and that she’s playing above board, And since it’s her people and not her she can even claim she knew nothing about it, just like the planted questions…. and the planted audience at UNLV by CNN, all while pulling yet another Hillary Clinton Dirty Trick.
Hmmm I’d better be quiet about this; she’ll flick one at me.
Memeorandum has more. So does Hot Air
Update:(Bit)
Ooohh… this gets better by the second:
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) took the rare step of issuing a statement in his own name on Saturday to call attention to a report by columnist Robert D. Novak that New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign is sitting on “scandalous” information about Obama.
The information was not described and there is no proof it exists.
Obama accused Clinton of “Swift boat’ politics” and vowed he will not be intimidated.
“I am prepared to stand up to that kind of politics, whether it’s deployed by candidates in our party, in the other party or by any third party,” Obama said. “The cause of change in this country will not be deterred or sidetracked by the old ‘Swift boat’ politics. The cause of moving America forward demands that we defeat it.”
Ya know, they’re both so bad for America… it’s hard to know who to cheer for.
