Last month Hillary Clinton met with the editors<\/a> of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review to discuss her campaign in the Pennsylvania primary. The Tribune-Review is owned by ultra right-wing media baron Richard Mellon Scaife. Now the Tribune-Review has published their choice<\/a> for the Democratic presidential nominee.<\/p>\n

“For Pennsylvania Democrats, the smart choice Tuesday is Mrs. Clinton.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This development caps a weekend of irony for Clinton.<\/p>\n

On Saturday a recording was released wherein we hear Clinton bashing MoveOn.org<\/a>, and accusing them of intimidating her supporters. With the Tribune-Review endorsement we have the unlikely scenario of Clinton slamming a loyal progressive organization that was founded to defend her husband from impeachment, while being endorsed by Scaife’s organization that fought for his impeachment and accused her of murder.<\/p>\n

On Sunday Barack Obama was quoted as saying that he, Clinton and McCain would all be better than George Bush. Clinton seized<\/a> on that statement to say…<\/p>\n

“We need a nominee who will take on John McCain, not cheer on John McCain.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wholeheartedly agree. Which is why I found it so distasteful when last month both Hillary and Bill Clinton cheered on McCain. Breathe in the hypocrisy:<\/p>\n

Hillary<\/a>: “[McCain] will put forth his lifetime of experience. I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Senator Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bill<\/a>: “…it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people [Hillary and McCain] who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Politics…bedfellows…whatever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
