This morning, at approx. 6:50 AM EST, on NPR's "Morning Edition," Dana Milbank commented on the State of the Union Address last night:
"Hillary sat behind Barack Obama, which made it easier for her to put the knife in his back." (link to be added when transcript is available).
Wow.
Well, the script has been written, and now Dana Milbank and his cohort get to parrot RNC talking points as if they has come from Roger Ailes himself.
I'm curious to know how many times Mr. Milbank has used a similar phrase when describing a male politician - especially at the beginning of a race.
Especially after a rumor that the Clinton campaign "leaked" that Obama attended a madrassa (completely false, on both counts).
Bob Somerby asks if 2008 coverage could get as bad as 2000. Short answer:
Yep.
