The only thing new about this story is that someone in the msm is actually reporting it. What's with that?
John Dickerson at Slate, who is traveling in Pennsylvania with Senator Obama, reports that Mr. Hope is working the crowds into a frenzy with his usual denouncements of Hillary's mean old dirty attack-style politics.
Meanwhile, Obama's campaign is hard at work playing its usual mean old dirty attack-style politics. The Obama campaign has moved on from labeling Senator Clinton as merely dishonest (with round-the-clock help from the Obama News Network) to labeling her as too dishonorable to be president.
Don't you just love Obama's New Politics?
John Dickerson at Slate:
When he's decrying the trivial distractions in politics, I think he may be crossing his fingers behind his back.
As the Senator's campaign train wound from one speech where he denounced tit-for-tat politics to the next speech where he denounced tit-for-tat politics, his campaign hosted a conference call to engage in the practice the candidate was busy denouncing. I suppose it would have been an even greater act of chutzpah for the Obama campaign to host the conference call while Sen. Obama was denouncing that kind of behavior, but not much more of one. .
While the candidate was denouncing the distractions, his aides were promoting them. Three veterans of the Bosnia conflict joined for a conference call to explain just how crucial this particular distraction was, and why we should ignore Senator Obama's guidance and get obsessed with this issue. .
Shortly after the conference call ended, Senator Obama's train pulled into Downington and he worked the crowd into a frenzy denouncing the scourge of petty distracting attack politics.
