Hillary's Slime Trail

Hillary Clinton's campaign has admitted that they pulled aside a young college student before a campaign event in Iowa, and then gave her a question to ask the candidate. However, they deny that Hillary herself had any knowledge of this, or that she had been prodded to call on that particular student.

"On this occasion a member of our staff did discuss a possible question about Senator Clinton's energy plan at a forum," a campaign spokesman has said in a statement. "However, Senator Clinton did not know which questioners she was calling on during the event. This is not standard policy and will not be repeated again."

Oh, come on. She didn’t know. And I’m the King of Prussia.

What were the chances that she would call on the one student in the crowd that they’d primed? Were there more than 2 people at the event? More than 10? 100? The chances are getting slimmer. What would be the point in priming someone with a question if the questioner were not going to be called upon?

It’s standard policy alright. Standard political campaign crap amongst slimey candidates.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
