Hill Dawg Scared of the Pit Bull?

Keep that pitbull away from me!

Hillary Clinton has found the desire to keep her hands clean after playing in the mud for seven months during her primary campaign versus Barack Obama.

At a town hall meeting in Florida, Hill Dawg stuck to the script, refusing to attack Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin directly.

The most she could muster was a half-hearted revision of her line during the Democratic National Convention.

"No way, no how, no McCain, no Palin."

This appearance further cements the fact that Hill Dawg plans on playing her part as a powerful Democrat in this election, but not much else going forward.

Obama will have to find somebody else to girlfight with Palin...hopefully it's on Pay Per View.

Word of the Day: Double-Talk

Double-Talk: The art of saying everything and absolutely nothing at the same time.

Example: At a town hall meeting over the weekend, John McCain responded to a question about raising taxes with this:

"I don't want tax increases. But that doesn't mean that anything is off the table" when it comes to Social Security."

So basically, he won't raise taxes, until it's time to raise taxes...thanks for the break John.

I think Ty's picture works the best for this one.

McCain was against the timetable before he was for it

So about that whole "timetables=surrender" thing? Not so much.

John McCain told Larry King last night that he could support a 16 month timetable for leaving Iraq assuming certain conditions were met on the ground. Hmmm, that sounds familiar. A 16 month conditional timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. Where have I heard this before?

Oh yeah, it's the same thing Obama was criticized for earlier this month. From Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs' interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell three weeks ago:

MITCHELL: Does that mean you would not be able to withdraw in 16 months?

GIBBS: No, no. We believe we will. We believe we will. Obviously we'll listen to commanders on the ground as conditions may or may not change. This is completely consistent with what Senator Obama has talked about from the very, very beginning of this campaign.

So to reiterate, McCain has gone from calling any timetable to withdraw tantamount to surrender to now supporting the same timetable that his opponent has been touting from the start of the campaign. Makes sense.
