Hillary Clinton is getting heat from the news media pundits and the Obama campaign for having noted that Robert Kennedy was assassinated in the month of June (“Clinton sorry for Kennedy remark” BBC News).
Although I have already stated here that Clinton should quit, I am on her side in this silly flap. In the context of her remarks, it is clear that her point was simply that Kennedy was still campaigning for his party’s nomination in June. She had just previously noted that her husband did not wrap up the nomination until the California Primary in June 1992. Kennedy was killed the night that he won the California Primary in June 1968. But Obama’s people want us to think she was wishing him ill. The news media lap it up like obedient puppies.
So much for new politics. It tastes like the same sour milk.
