Hillary Campaign Blasts Obama Over Maureen Dowd Column

By Greg Sargent

The Hillary Clinton campaign is blasting Barack Obama over a column by Maureen Dowd today in which top Obama fundraiser David Geffen is critical of the Clintons. Camp Hillary just put out the following statement from Clinton spokesperson Howard Wolfson:

"While Senator Obama was denouncing slash and burn politics yesterday, his campaign's finance chair was viciously and personally attacking Senator Clinton and her husband.

"If Senator Obama is indeed sincere about his repeated claims to change the tone of our politics, he should immediately denounce these remarks, remove Mr. Geffen from his campaign and return his money.

"While Democrats should engage in a vigorous debate on the issues, there is no place in our party or our politics for the kind of personal insults made by Senator Obama's principal fundraiser."

Note that the Clinton campaign is demanding that Obama sever his ties with Geffen and return his money. More soon.
