Game over: The Clintons stand alone By: Ben Smith January 11, 2010 06:05 PM EST
A new book is out with a highly critical but unsourced portrait of Hillary Clinton. This familiar occurrence — it’s happened too many times to count over the years — has usually been greeted with an equally familiar response: A fast and furious counterattack from the Clinton inner circle.
What’s notable about the highly publicized release of “Game Change,” however, is the virtual silence from the Clinton camp. The lack of public outrage seems to mark the sputtering end of what was once known as the Clinton political machine and underlines a fact that onetime Clinton loyalists acknowledge: The book’s primary sources about the former candidate and current secretary of state are her own former staffers and intimates.
As a result, there is no campaign of veteran Clintonites spinning the press corps and trying to pre-emptively discredit the book’s scathing depiction of Hillary Clinton as a rudderless candidate and a cheerleader for vicious tactics against eventual winner Barack Obama. There is no team of Clinton proxies going on cable television to denounce authors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann as scurrilous and unworthy of belief.
This time, Bill and Hillary Clinton are virtually alone.
While the low-key response to a brutal portrayal of Clinton in part reflected a decision to keep a prominent face of the Obama administration’s foreign policy above the fray, it was also a recognition of reality: The same senior aides who had leaked damaging gossip could hardly be expected to rebut it.
These people have violated the Clinton world’s final taboo: After savaging one another in the press for more than a year, the former aides finally turned on the principals.

Brilliant indeed! You’re a hidden treasure of talent.
Speaking of the Kingston Trio, I can see the Clintons setting around listening to and drowning their sorrows into the song "Scotch and Soda"! lol
Couldn’t be any better timing with these comments as Bubba is scheduled to travel to Massachusetts this Friday to stump for Martha Coakley!
Definitley agree (and do here in earlier posting) "As ruthless as Clinton’s could be; again, even here; Obama out performs them." We are on same page.
Do think Obama, Rahm and Dave can 'write the bad book'. Just wish someone would do a 'tell all' on them; though for certain, it would be costly; very costly. . .
(Has Michelle done any 'show the family digs and dog and kids in the White House for TV - or have I missed this traditional invitation to come see the First Family at home - in 'our' home. . .) Am guessing we have not yet, been invited; and may never be.
That said; just keep thinking of Tiger Woods; and how anything is possible and not thinking of his 'golf game'. /sigh/
Yeah, or how about “It Takes a Worried Man to Sing a Worried Song’’? LOL!
Do you remember ‘’Randy Sparks and The New Christie Minstrels’’?
or “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?”
This could be a thread by itself. lol
Hey yeah! you’re on to something there.
Daschle “considered Hillary an icy prima donna; her husband … a narcissist on an epic scale; the dynamic between the couple, bizarre; their treatment of their friends, unforgivably manipulative and disloyal,” the authors write.
Ain’t Karma a beautiful thang?
I remember the group name, but no individuals.
BRILLIANT home page! I was ROTFLMAO !!!!!!
“The Obama crowd is worse.”
But they ADORE money.
This is good news, and it’s about time.
My joy over this would be greater, however, if our Nation were not currently being raped by another, even worse(I never imagined THAT!), piece of **** living in our White House.
Wasn’t there a song about “the cheese stand alone”?.....
Leaches moving onto the next available hosts. Steve Schmidts of the Democrat Party.
I think their best was “The MTA.” Still one of my favorite songs, even after all these years.
The Clintons were rotten people. It was a lonnnng eight years.
Well, they still have each other.
