Clinton complains about Obama's complaining after complaining about media throughout her campaign
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0408/Clinton_defends_ABC.html

On the Philadelphia Fox affiliate, Clinton mocks Obama's complaints about the debate.

We were both asked some pretty tough questions and that’s part of what happens in a debate and in a campaign. And I know he spent all day yesterday complaining about the hard questions he was asked. Being asked tough questions in a debate is nothing like the pressures you face inside the White House. In fact, when the going gets tough, you just can’t walk away because we’re going to have some very tough decisions that we have to make.


Flashback to February 27th, the night of the debate in Ohio. Remember when she complained about being asked the first question and tried to play the victim card?

Hillary: "If anybody saw Saturday Night Live, you know, maybe we should ask Barack if he's comfortable and needs another pillow."


Let's also flashback to December 19, 2007:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/18/AR2007121802184.html?nav=rss_politics/elections
DES MOINES, Dec. 18 -- After weeks of bad news, Hillary Clinton and her strategists hoped that winning the endorsement of Iowa's largest newspaper last weekend might produce a modest bump in their media coverage.

But on Sunday morning, they awoke to upbeat headlines about their chief Democratic rival: "Obama Showing New Confidence With Iowa Sprint," said the New York Times. "Obama Is Hitting His Stride in Iowa," said the Los Angeles Times. And on Monday, Clinton aides were so upset about a contentious "Today" show interview that one complained to the show's producer. Clinton's senior advisers have grown convinced that the media deck is stacked against them, that their candidate is drawing far harsher scrutiny than Barack Obama. And at least some journalists agree.


Complaining and playing the victim card against the big bad media that is supposedly against her has been part of her campaign stump speech for a while now. And now she's complaining about Barack complaining?

2. Hillary EARNED the name Tonya Harding. We've been calling her that for over two years now.
