Today’s must-read story is found on TNR where Michael Crowley yesterday published an article (“Bunker Hillary”) discussing how the Clinton campaign plays Dominatrix to the campaign press corps assigned to report on it. The press certainly responds to the rough treatment, though. Here is a howler from today’s Boston Globe story on Hillary (“Democratic rivals take aim at the Clinton years”), emphasis mine:
She is also more frequently dispatching the former president as her chief surrogate on the stump, with solo appearances by Bill Clinton in Iowa last Thursday, South Carolina on Monday, and New Hampshire this Friday.
While offering generous praise, as other candidates' spouses typically do, he has also been noticeably vocal in defending her against a succession of attacks since her stumble in the Oct. 30 debate.
"Even though those boys have been getting tough on her lately, she can handle it," he told college students in South Carolina.
Just like any other candidate’s spouse. How touching.
How contrived.
