Flashback

While searching for information, I came across this "talking points" memo from the Clinton campaign. They were, apparently, immune to irony based on these side-by-side lines...

Debates. Bush is good at delivering one line put downs made for the media. Clinton wants the debates to be about America's concerns.

Attacks. Bush has nothing positive to say. Dirt is all he's got because his campaign is already three feet deep in a six foot grave.

As far as I'm concerned, this is a perfect example of the politics of martyrdom that both parties play. "We're shocked that our opponents would play dirty. We refuse to engage in name-calling like that jackass we're running against."

I wonder if the hypocrisy even occurs to them any longer?

How can it be dirty when it's true?
