O'Donnell, Tubbs Jones Spar Over Clinton Campaign's Role in Pushing Rezko Story
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

The last time I wrote about Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, I described her as "ever-smiling." Scratch that. The Dem congresswoman from Ohio and Hillary co-chair just snapped at MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell during a discussion of who is responsible for circulating the story about Rezko trial: the media or the Clinton campaign.

The conversation was proceeding swimmingly until Norah broached the Rezko matter. And then . . .

NORAH O'DONNELL: What about, congresswoman, that many--and Barack Obama--essentially charged today that the reason he failed to win in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island last night is because Hillary Clinton went negative on him, and that that worked?

STEPHANIE TUBBS JONES: You know what? Throughout this campaign the Obama team has tried to say it's us going negative. Whenever you point out the differences in the records of Senator Clinton and Senator Obama, it's that we're going negative. And that is not the fact. The fact is there is a difference between the two of them. We pointed it out and the people --

O'DONNELL: But pointing out that the Rezko trial is going on is not a pointing out of differences in records, is it?

It was shortly thereafter that Tubbs Jones let some temper show . . .

I think we need a Norah rule similar to the Ann rule.

So this isn’t a thread about “THE VIEW” ?

O’Donnell, Jones, etc.?

If the news media was doing the job it’s supposed to do, it would take pride in reporting the Rezko trial. Instead, it takes the position that reporting facts is a political dirty trick. I don’t know what field these people are in, but it’s not journalism.

Jeez. If I were born into a family named Tubbs, I’d have married - ANYONE - at 18, changed my name, and never looked back.

What’s with keeping it? Why do people like Stephanie and Queen Sheila down here think their maiden names are so important, they must remain?

Stephanie is a Jones. Sheila is a Lee. If you don’t want your husband’s last name, keep your maiden one. Using both is stupid.

I wonder why Obamassein isn’t out there pushing the Mark Rich trial and linking Hilliary to that?
