John Edwards aide: Hillary Clinton campaign 'corrupt'

WASHINGTON - Democratic White House front-runner Hillary Clinton's buck-raking campaign is a "poster child" for corrupt Washington, a top adviser for rival John Edwards charged yesterday.

"If you want to know why we need change in Washington ...then just look at Sen. Clinton's schedule for today," Edwards adviser Joe Trippi e-mailed supporters, calling her $1,000-a-head fund-raiser with security industry fat cats "a 'poster child' for what is wrong" with D.C.

"The American people know that the system in Washington has become corroded and corrupt," he continued, "yet too many in office have fallen under the spell of campaign money at any cost."

Edwards and Barack Obama have attacked Clinton on her Washington ties - intensifying their barrages since she gave back $850,000 from fugitive fund-raiser Norman Hsu.

Edwards' aides and his cancer-stricken wife, Elizabeth, have been particularly sharp in needling the former First Lady, calling her polarizing and suggesting she isn't the best advocate for women.

Camp Clinton shot back that Edwards was attacking out of desperation.

"Increasingly negative attacks against other Democrats aren't going to end the war, deliver universal health care or turn John Edwards' flagging campaign around," said spokesman Phil Singer.

Try this simple quiz.

“Corrupt” is to “Clinton” as:

a) “cold” is to “ice”;

b) “wet” is to “water”;

c) “hot” is to “Hell”;

d) a, b, and c.

geesh never thought I would agree with Johnny but dang ...he must taken a turn on the yellow brick road and gotten some courage.

[doug from upland]

Good for Trippi. He must be paying attention to the faxes I have been sending to his home in Maryland. :)

Democrats want to get primaries over early because the bloodletting between them all will need time to be ignored by the media with the pinheads who actually vote for these outrageously hypocritical scumbags.

Well, there goes his chance to be #two.

[mmanager]

Good, they are eating their own.

[PGalt]

The most corrupt, disgusting woman in the history of The United States of America!

Run Hillarious Run!

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Looks like the agreement for the public love-in between the dem candidates is over.
It was only a matter of time before Hillary pulled some crap and the others strike back.

[oyez]

Edwards is jealous. If he were having more luck at fund raising, no mater the source, he would be hauling it in.

"The American people know that the system in Washington has become corroded and corrupt," he continued, "yet too many in office have fallen under the spell of campaign money at any cost."

This means a lot coming from the campaign staff of an ambulance chaser.

[claymax]

And this is somehow news now?

"Increasingly negative attacks against other Democrats aren't going to end the war, deliver universal health care or turn John Edwards' flagging campaign around," said spokesman Phil Singer.

1. She's right.
2. She never responded to the subject matter.
3. She turned her response into a campaign ad.
4. When is an "attack" ever positive?
5. (Insert gender based toon oriented insult about hitlery here)... !!

[Libloather]

Another corrupt *Crinton? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

[ClarenceThomasfan]

John Edwards finally figured it out? What took him so long?

[Convert from ECUSA]

ROFL! While the hair-primping scalawag gets it right about Evil Evita and her campaign, this is too much a case of the pot (ambulance chaser) calling the kettle (her mighty thighness) black.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Saw Trippi on Hardball, making the charges on Hillary....stayed away from the word Hsu however.,.....

[SunkenCiv]

[singing] if you knew Hsu, see, like we know Hsu, see...

Thanks Fred.

stayed away from the word Hsu however

If the Hsu fits, you cannot acquit

News here:

SoCal investors sue Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu

Notice some of the names......

According to the lawsuit, Waters invested with Hsu in part because "prominent persons, including Sen. Hillary Clinton, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, California Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown, national Democratic political adviser James Carville, film director Steven Spielberg, actor (Tobey) Maguire, grocery store magnate/billionaire Ron Burkle and others introduced and/or endorsed Hsu as a friend, colleague and trusted associate."

A Dem once again forced, by political expedience, into stating the obvious.
