Forgetting the First Rule of Holes

As I noted earlier, I don't buy the idea that Hillary Clinton raised the specter of the RFK assassination inadvertently. She's just way too good at staying on message, and there's no way she says anything unplanned when meeting with the press.

The thing that compounds this, though, is that in addition to employing distasteful tactics, she doesn't even have the sense to recognize when they backfire. Here, once again, she's just making matters worse. She could have just admitted her mistake and delivered a proper apology. Instead, she's turning it into yet another whine-fest that's all about her and how she's being treated unfairly.

Check out Veracifier's summary of her spin bots making the rounds of the Sunday talk shows yesterday:
