Not just a pro, but also politically ruthless. Sure, Clinton's a ham -- but this was done on purpose.
I think the DU poster quoted above is correct: this was history in the making. Clinton just staged a party coup. Obama's a goner.
I was just thinking; "if this happened in Russia, or anywhere but here, we'd be talking coup d'etat, not comedy". I hate to think that way, but I think you're right. Either the democrats are extremely toast, or they're extremely dangerous. Either way, I don't like this. Not one bit. Except for this: Finally obama has come clean, and showed himself publicly as the sock-puppet we knew he was all along. And having a clue about the identity of the puppeteer is helpful.
Definitely an "Et tu, Bubba?" moment.
