Nothing Is Ever Barack's Fault, Part 217

Hillary Clinton wanted no part of Mark Penn's suggestion that she attack Obama for being insufficiently All-American. Nevertheless, Greg Sargent writes:

The question, of course, is how does the idea that senior advisers and Hillary rejected Penn's approach square with the fact that the Reverend Jeremiah Wright (along with other associations) became such a big issue in the campaign? Ultimately the media broke the Wright story, though that hardly rules out the possibility that some Hillary advisers were partly responsible for making that happen.

When the Wright story broke, the Hillary camp was initially reticent about it for a time, until Hillary herself responded to a question at an edit board meeting by saying: "He would not have been my pastor."

Wrong answer, Hillary. You needed to have Barack's back at all times. Of course, now you'd have to throw Rev. Wright under your own bus. Oh, wait--

You don't have one, loser!
