(Via The Corner) Jonathan Foreman on Sex, Lies & Hidden Agendas:
One of the comic ironies of the recall campaign is the way everyone decries the "media circus" while doing their best to create one.MoveOn doesn't always want to "just move on"? Who knew?
And that while doing so they can be less than honest about their real agenda.
You could see this at yesterday's "Arnold is a Rapist" press conference.
It wasn't actually called that, but at times it felt like it should have been, even though the two organizations behind it - Codepink Women for Peace and MoveOn.Org - seem more concerned with stopping a Republican takeover of California than Arnold Schwarzenegger's alleged predilection for unwanted sexual advances.
One of the Pinkies 'splains it:
... the most honest thing I heard came from film producer and Codepink activist Patricia Foulkrod.Has Patty been sucking down the Kool Aid or what?
She admitted that Bill Clinton's sexual peccadilloes were as inexcusable as Arnold's.
"The difference is that Clinton was so brilliant," she said.
"If Arnold was a brilliant pol and had this thing about inappropriate behavior, we'd figure a way of getting around it. I think it's to our detriment to go on too much about the groping. But it's our way in. This is really about the GOP trying to take California in 2004 and our trying to stop it."
