A Little Advice... the Bills in the Mail...

I see that one of Sen. Clinton's advisors has been taken to task for making an issue of Sen. Obama's admitted drug use as a young man. Were I the Clinton Campaign, I would have absolutley nothing to say about the issue for two reasons. First, although she may not realize it, not everyone has led the kind of vanilla, always-please-the -teacher life that Hillary has. Not everyone has always had their eyes firmly on the next ribbon to hang on the wall. Some people have actaully lived as though experience leads to wisdom and abstinence is just a eunuch's virtue. There are more of those people than you think, and they can find HRC to be a little annoying sometimes.

Second, Sen. Obama shot from the hip. He told the truth. He was authentic. Given that authenticity is not one of HRC's strong suits, she may want to let Sen. Obama dance with Mary Jane while she goes and gets some punch.
