CLINTON RULES. I have, over the past few months, found myself in the increasingly uncomfortable position of being one of the few people who writes for a lefty blog willing to say anything nice about Hillary Clinton. This is not because I have any special affection for Clinton, whom I have never met or interviewed, but because the attacks on her are often so floridly off-base or flat out wrong that it offends my sense of fair play. Bumptious blogger Bob Somerby of The Daily Howler, who is unafraid to go after anyone, be they friend or foe, has recently taken up the burden of documenting, once again, just how pervasive the anti-Clinton media distortions are, even in the liberal blogosphere, and reminds us all of �the Clinton rules of journalism�:
you can say any goddamn thing you want -- as long as you say it about the Clintons.And so this morning, it was with disappointment that I found M.J. Rosenberg falling prey to Clinton Rules over at TPMCafe.
