So it appears that Bill Clinton went ballistic on the superdelegates when one of them mentioned Gov. Bill Richardson, the now famous Judas of the Clinton campaign.
Described as “red-faced and finger-pointing,” Clinton went off on Richardson, and the media’s treatment of his wife. Joyous posted: “Damn. You'd think if anyone could, the Clintons could handle the pressure, but apparently Obama's momentum really has them both shook and losing their minds.” Niko says: “Bill is out of control!!!” while Cuban Chica opined: “He has gone crazy.” What interesting is that the once favored status of the Clintons, particularly among people of color, has virtually evaporated in the nomination race. (When Bill Clinton spoke at Coretta Scott King’s 2006 funeral in Atlanta, he was met with thunderous applause. Those same folks probably wouldn’t even invite him back for services now). Have the Clintons really been exposed as the shady a**es they always were or has the media put a spin on things that makes them look a lot worse than they are?
The media loves a good story and the good guy/bad guy story or, in this case, bad girl story always wins viewers. Demonize the Clintons and deify Obama and TV ratings jump. In a relatively slow news year thus far, the election is providing plenty of fodder for daily drama, conveniently ignoring the fact that Obama and Clinton differ only slightly in their overall platforms.
So…do you believe the hype or not? -Hellifiknow
