I do not like Bill Clinton (the politician) at all but after reading Fowler's piece, I felt bad for him. I don't think he deserved that. Fowler's columns are getting to be nothing else but 'political porn'. Reading her columns leaves one feeling guilty, not to say dirty. I hate that.

Sorry, quasar! Just came back online & read your question. I'm glad you found a link. I used this one.

FWIW, this is one time when I think it was wise for the MSM to have exercised restraint. Perhaps bloggers should emulate them. If that means letting go of the Trotta mishap, then so be it. Continuing to publicize this subject in my view is playing with fire. Trotta has apologized; the Obama campaign is telling all to move. I think we should follow suit. Just my two-cents.

Typo: That "schlock" obviously ... (not that other thing I typed.)

You have a point. There's a bit more here, if you care to read. Could be more 'scholck' though. You be the judge. I'm no journalist and was just contributing a piece of information to the discussion. I guess we'll know eventually how her remarks really have affected the Kennedys.

I would think so if only because of the effect her remarks MUST have had on his spouse and his two daughters, and his grandmother. We have heard that members of his staff were outraged, which might explain their sending Olbermann's video to the journos.

In this case, perhaps some 'hysteria' was in order:

The fear of a president or a presidential candidate being shot or assassinated is horrifying precisely because recent history teaches us that it can happen. We don’t need anybody to remind us, and we certainly don’t need anybody to remind whatever suggestible wackos might be lurking in the shadows.

In the context of Obama, Clinton’s words broke a double taboo, because since the beginning of his candidacy, some of Obama’s supporters have feared that his race made him more of a target than other presidential hopefuls. Obama was placed under Secret Service protection early, a full year ago. To be unaware that one’s words tap into a monumental fear that exists in a portion of the electorate — a fear that Obama’s race could get him killed — is an unusual mistake for a serious and highly disciplined presidential candidate. - Libby Copeland

I can only surmise that he instantly felt how outrageous the comment was and saw the need to dampen its effect. Other Kennedys have let it be known that they are appalled.
