I just emailed Josh Marshall over his insightful article "Redundant," arguing that I'm beginning to suspect the petition to ABC may be short of the mark, that Hillary is not following the lead of the media, or climbing on the bandwagon of "slimeing" her opponent and taking on the GOP's role in the fall, but that she may be actually at the heart of the Muder-Obama machine currently in motion.  She and George S looked far too chummy, and her additional swipes at Obama on Ayers, for example, seemed far too well-prepared to be happenstance.  She seemed in collusion with the moderators.  I always suspected that her continual smirk was her public way of announcing that she had a dirty trick or two up her sleeve that she wouldn't unleash on Obama until a few days before the Pennsylvania primary.  And now it looks (to me) as though her failthful puppy-dog George S and she rigged that debate to taint Obama with "shadow" questions.  Whatever answers he gave would leave the questions hanging in the air; questions as weapons all to themselves.  So my propensity is not to complain to ABC about "trivial" questions but to questions their very right to keep their license to use the public airwaves to broadcast "news."  I believe that license involves pledging to keep the "news" coverage "objective and impartial."  If the ABC debate was a hatchet job engineered by George S and Hillary, then George S has too much power at the network, and the network has failed in its resonsibility to the public.  We already know what fear the Clinton's inspire in the media and among superdelegates.  I live in Texas, outside of Austin.  During Obama's 11-win streak before the Texas primaries, no win for him was reported on ABC in any fashion that befitted those victories.  When HRC won NH, regular programming was interrupted several times to show glittering video of her beaming away and congratulating herself.  But when I tuned in to find out the outcome of those 11 contests, there was, on each night of a result, one sentence (no video) buried at about story 6 in the news lineup after all the local robberies, etc., which simply said, "Obama won so and so state," and if you blinked, you missed it.

So, I don't know about y'all, but I see murder in the gallery.  I see a crime.  I see someone, somewhere is accountable.  And I plan to follow the smell, until I find out who.
