7. The Double-Edged Sword...
This reminds me of the Dave Berg cartoon in Mad waaaay back when showing two kids beating up on each other...one of the kid's older brother steps in and starts beating up the kid who was attacking his brother. After pulling them apart, he looks at the kid he's just messed up and says "No one hits my little brother, but me", then whacks his brother.

Many are not happy (understatement) with a lot of the trash Clinton and her surrogates have been throwing around lately. They risk alienating a lot more people than they'll appeal to...but, it's one thing for attacks to come from within the party and, for the most part, on substansive matter, and from some Neandertal old codger whose tried to make his name by bashing Senator Clinton.

This isn't that much different than what Tweety said that got him in hot water at MSNBC...but what we're really hearing is the "water cooler" talk these people have among each other. The memes and yuks they share at the drinkie drinkie parties and on the phone among themselves as they impress one another. Imus needs to make headlines to make his new masters, Citadel Broadcasting happy...and this means making headlines. Let's see how much play the I-man gets.
