Does this mean that Hillary Clinton is too unethical for Hollywood?
Election season nominally begins with the candidates announcing their campaigns; it truly begins with the first knife fight. The Clinton and Obama camps had that little rumble, thanks to David Geffen and Maureen Dowd. Geffen, the liberal Hollywood mogul (is there any other kind?), co-hosted a party that raised $1.3 million for Senator Obama, despite having raised $18 million for Bill Clinton in the past. Worse, he told Dowd that the GOP was digging up dirt on Bill; that Hillary is unable to say “I made a mistake” about voting to authorize the Iraq War; and that both Clintons are liars: “Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it’s troubling.” So the Clinton campaign demanded that Obama condemn Geffen and return his money, to which the Obama campaign replied that the Clintons had no problem with Geffen when they let him sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom. Quick conventional wisdom scored St. Barack the loser, for letting his people play politics like ordinary folk. We are not so sure, since the Illinois senator reminded people of the Clintons’ general ickiness. In any case, America will be embroiled with this grotesque couple-Hillary and Bill-for the next twelve months, at least.
