This "bitter-gate" thing. I think we saw cultural stupidity of historical proportions, folks. 99% of the news pundits I watched either couldn't grasp the truth of it, or just decided to go along with clinton's case that the comments were offensive and elitist. Combined with 99% of Obama surrogates who took a defensive, guilty stance, and Obama's own rambling incoherent rebutttal at the debate. It all added up to Clinton's strategy of combing through obama comments, finding one that could be spinned as a wedge issue for the demographics of the current primary state, and running with it.

So hopefully Obama and his surrogates will be able to respond with more certainty. Because the inability to respond to something so spectacularly stupid just adds to the stupidity.

As it is I can't watch the news these days.
