Damned if you do

Talk radio buffoon Ed Schultz has attacked Hillary Clinton through this election anytime she or any of her surrogates raised a hand against Obama. Just now on MSNBC's Race for the White House with David Gregory, criticized her for not attacking Obama's credibility over his Wright separation by calling it signs of a defeatist Clinton campaign. No seriously. You could make this up, but it would be cliche.

ED SCHULTZ, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: David, my headline is the defeated Clinton camp hesitates to pounce on this. Where are the surrogates?

As Pat Buchanan talked about the credibility problem, you can make the case that Barack Obama has done a 180 on his reverend. So where is the Clinton camp on this? Why aren‘t they pouncing on this and attacking on this issue? I think...

GREGORY: What‘s your take—you think they think there‘s a danger there?

(CROSSTALK)

SCHULTZ: They don‘t want to say too many bad things about Barack Obama.

GREGORY: Right. They think there‘s a danger here in getting involved in this.

SCHULTZ: Absolutely, no question about it. I think the Clinton surrogates are starting to pull back a little bit and they‘re not as attacking as they used to be. And this is a perfect opportunity for them to go after his credibility. I think they‘re showing a defeatist attitude.
