Hillary Clinton: Charm or Offensive? [Karl]
Earlier today, I noted in passing that there is a reason why Hillary Clinton does not get portrayed in the media as â€Âstraight-talker†or someone you’d “want to have a beer with†or an apolitical “maverick†with “folksy charm.†Now it appears that Hillary really wants to have a beer with you: New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, trying to warm up an image some voters perceive as cold, starts a
Media Matters. Reality, not so much. [Karl]
Sen. Hillary Cinton has hit a slump in her presidential campaign, so Media Matters (the so-called media watchdog Hillary claims to have helped start) is whining that her “inevitability” was partially a creation of the media: Many in the media certainly seemed to be building Clinton up prior to the Philadelphia debate  though it should be noted that they were doing so strictly in a horse-race context.

More Postmodern Art [Dan Collins]
Swastika rendered in crap at high school.  Warning, video. Anger woman.  Heh.  Get it? A foxy Philly anchorwoman – who once e-mailed sexy swimsuit snaps to a married TV talking head – became an anger woman yesterday, calling a female cop a “dyke bitch” and slugging her in the face, law-enforcement sources said.
Morris on Hillary [Dan Collins]
The last legacy of Dan Pat Moynihan: Now, in desperation, Hillary and her minions are attacking Obama with shots that will only arouse voter sympathy for him and backlash against her. Hillary asks, “When did running for president become a qualification to be president?†and her aides distribute evidence that Obama wanted to run for president in kindergarten to defuse the attack that Hillary and Bill have always planned on
