Sounds like the LAT is about to unload on the Big Attack Dog
Inside the looming Clinton-Obama showdown

We don't want to give away too much ahead of time.

But interested followers of the tightening Democratic race for the presidential nomination, especially the growing tensions between the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama camps, will want to check back here later this evening.

The Times' grizzled political veteran, Mark Z. Barabak, who doesn't look a day over 80, has tapped into his nationwide sources of many years to produce a blockbuster story about the deteriorating situation. For the first time he has members of the camps, many of them once devoted followers and aides to Bill Clinton, on the record discussing the ex-president's mounting role as political attack dog for his wife's struggling campaign and whether this behavior is appropriate for a position traditionally seen and fulfilled as elder statesman.

Unless you're in the Clinton camp, you won't want to miss this one on this website later and in Friday's print editions.

7. Interesting article, but what does anyone expect of Billy Jeff? He's an
opportunist. And he plays fast and lose with the truth.

What do they expect? That he'd campaign for Barrie. This is politics folks. And this is the Clintons.

Schools out, wise up.

8. That's what the MSM republican owned newspapers do
ever since they "took over" and I mean took over, by firing all the regular employees and hiring their republican attack dogs, they have been flaming and slashing any democrat they can. And don't they just love to bash Bill Clinton. They probably have so much crap on the floor they can't walk in the news room.
