Mayhill Fowler, who leaked O's "Bitter" remarks, is behind the new Bill Clinton audio
apparantly she taped his remarks without identifying herself or telling Clinton he was being recorded... so she could extend her 15 minutes of fame from "bitter-gate", where she similarly hid a tape recorder at a private event and handed his Dem and GOP opponents damaging ammo.

She is, in my opinion, beneath contempt.

3. Context Is The Issue
Obama's bitter remarks were intended for a more intellectual audience who understood and grasped subtleties. Notice I said intellectual, not intelligent. This is not to imply that the people about whom he was speaking are not intelligent. Certainly anyone who took umbrage at his comments has no appreciation for nuance. More than half the country doesn't do nuance.

Anyway, his message was structured in a way that his immediate audience could understand. Had he been talking to a broader audience or to the media, he might have phrased it differently, or demurred on it all together.

The lesson here is, if you are running for public office - you are always "on". There is no privacy, except in your own home with your own family (and even then, maybe not). Every comment you make, every gesture could wind up on YouTube, and then the major networks.

2. The m$m is taking issue with her 'now', but had no problems

with her and 'Bittergate', playing that shitty tape ad nauseum. The double standard is alive and well this a.m.

Buchanan thinks the big dawg got sandbagged. :eyes:

5. So.. Is Mayhill an oppo agent?
It certainly seems that way. Is she partying on "no visible means of support"?

6. how true; she's stirred nothing but trouble for Dems
why doesn't she take her little tape recorder and follow John McCain around.... she seems to be good at recording embarrassing off-the-cuff commentary from whomever she stalks.


Some Democrat! This person is all about self-promotion under the guise of investigative journalism.
