The essential "truthiness" of the Penn Debacle, though lost on Greg Sargent, should be obvious to most everyone else...

The Chief Strategist of a disastrous campaign is gone, therefore, it follows as night follows day....

[Greg why don't you give it a shot?]

Hmmm, even though Hillary's experience is nothing but lies this General really wants to go there.

Sigh, he must be operating on the pre Penn departure approved talking points.

Only most of your experience seems to be faked, and Obama has more than just charisma.

Honesty trumps a padded resumé.

McCain is a saber rattling War Monger and Senator Hillary Rambo Clinton, The Heroine of Tuzla has endorsed him for Commander in Chief, ahead of fellow Democrat Obama.

Now Hillary Rambo Clinton is engaging in the same scare tactics War Mongering that McCain engages in.

That leaves Senator Obama as the only sane choice remaining who are sick of War Mongers always using War talk to scare us into supporting them.

Hillary and McCain want you to be afraid, be very afraid, where as Senator Obama wants you to know that you have nothing to fear but fear itself. Vote you hopes instead of Hillary's cynical fear mongering.

Hillary is the New Lieberman.

so much for some restraint and a better tone since Texas. Ill give good odds that part of this was to try to change the subject from Mark Penn and Tax returns (same with olympic comment)

I wish it were true that experience trumps charisma, but in politics we have often seen the reverse. Bush defeated Gore. Bush defeated Kerry. People liked Bush. He was a "plain talker". In other words, people are not all that bright, and they could understand Bush, even if Bush couldn't understand himself. Remember, the average IQ in America is 100. That means that half the population has an IQ lower than 100. That means that charisma can easily trump experience. That is why Obama could win. That is why I am worried.

Why is that funny, exactly? Do be specific, and provide actual facts.

[really scary music in background]

It's 3pm in the White House when the red phone rings...

"Hey someone get the No Doze. Hillary is drooling on the hot line again. It's all shorted out"

Hillary's attempts at her Commander in Chief arguments are getting to the point of being comical. Between her sniper fire Tuzla Gate lies and her latest whammy that she spoke out against the Iraq War before Obama (which even if you ignore Obama's anti-Iraq war speech and that she actually voted to go to war and accepted her 2005 starting point she is still lying)...you would think that she would get back to talking about Health care (oh wait she got busted telling a totally false health care horro story nevermind) or the Economy.

She is making a fool of herself now and I'm almost starting to pity her.

Herbert Hoover, Bush One, Cheney and Rumsfeld had great resumes and all the experience that any one could ask for. How did they apply their vast experiences to the problems they encountered.

Hillary has had two decades of experience making a dog's vomit out of Health Care reform. How is that supposed to make her qualified for anything other than a "heck of a job Browny" award!

Look at how Hillary screwed up the Travel Office staffing assignment, and turned it into a raging scandal.

Hillary has a lot of experience, mostly of the mal kind.

We can not afford to elect a chronic malpracticer, as Hillary's experience clearly demonstrates.

Say no to one who is a very experienced screw-up.

Mark Penn, Mark Penn, Mark Penn,

A fine example of how Hillary applied her experience and judgment.

Yes, experience does trump charisma.
But that's not the right argument. Hillary
once again grabs on to the straw man.

Hillary's experience, as we're all learning, is more of a myth than reality. While Mr. Obama
does, of course, have charisma, he also has better judgement than Hillary, is calmer under pressure than Hillary, and appears to be smarter than Hillary.

So, the edge goes to Mr. Obama.

If Cheney and Bush and Rumsfeld had some charisma and intellect to go with their experience Iraq would have never happened.

I am afraid those retired Generals and Officers are short changing Hillary and the public by implying that experience beats intellect and charisma. These characteristics complement each other and would work best in unison. It is amazing how much more charisma and intellect can achieve beyond the wildest dreams of experience however.

This current administration proves that this is not the case. These Generals and Officers are being openly dishonest. This explains why they are supporting Hillary I suppose.

If Senator Clinton really believes that experience trumphs charisma, she obviously voted for George Bush Sr. over her husband in 1992. Or she has a serious problem with double-standards. Gee, I wonder which it is. ;-)
