I see no evidence that Bill Clinton is angry with anyone, much less Obama.

[NYC_SKP]

So, why is it that the MSM is pushing this meme today?

As I recall, it's not so unusual for primary opponents and their surrogates to lay low this soon after the primaries end.

It seems to be that old "news making the news" via speculation that has grown so tired.

It always starts with a question, "Is Bill Clinton angry with Obama?", and goes on from there.

Methinks there's no "there" there. Have I missed something concrete?

[polichick]

1. An article in the NY Times today said friends o' the Clintons...

...have reported that he's still in primary mode.

[leftynyc]

4. Did they

actually quote someone or was this more "some say" or sources tell us"?

[polichick]

7. Here it is...

"At Mrs. Clinton’s request, the lawyer, Robert B. Barnett, who has brokered multimillion-dollar book deals for clients including Mr. Obama, Mrs. Clinton and Bill Clinton, is working to hash out questions large and small as the two camps work toward a political merger. Perhaps the thorniest question — what to do about Bill Clinton, who friends say continues to refight the bitter primary fight — has yet to be raised by either side, advisers said."

11. Thanks for the link

As I suspected "some Clinton supporters" was used plenty but the only name was this attorney who is just brokering a deal. The media is just trying to stir up shit for a change.

[NYC_SKP]

14. Hmmm, unnamed source, perhaps? nt

[polichick]

15. Why doubt it - Bill Clinton has made no personal statement of support...

It's pretty obvious he's not ready.

[NYC_SKP]

18. Of course none of this surprises me, but just in case there had been an...

...actual statement and not hearsay, it would be interesting to know.

I've got no beef with Bill on this however.

It's fine if he's not ready, or if he's just laying low.

It's even possible that he's being strategically held back until later, though I doubt it.

Barack is doing quite nicely on his own, hurrah!

[polichick]

19. I agree that it's no big deal, whatever Bill's true feelings are.

[polmaven]

20. Well, now, there's an

unimpeachable source! "Friends" say he is still in "primary mode"! :rofl:

[The Magistrate]

2. You Are Correct, Sir: There Is No Evidence For It Whatever

The chatterers have twenty-four hours to fill, and Heaven forfend they should do it with actual news....

"Reality has a liberal bias."

[MichiganVote]

9. Got that right.

[leftynyc]

3. Neither do I

I suspect the media is missing the primary battle and can't bear to concentrate on the real issues that separate mccain and Sen Obama so they'll focus on the bullshit - and if there is no bullshit, they'll simply make it up. Haven't watched cable news in over a year and, I swear, my hair stopped getting gray.

[southern_belle]

5. media makin' shit up.

:shrug:

[Cha]

17. I put nothing past the mainstream US mediawhores.

8 years of bushit and The War On Iraq with them slobbering over starting another one in Iran for the OIL.

The m$$$$$feckin'media is john mccain's base.

Maybe bill will be in Unity tomorrow:)

[SeaLyons]

6. No evidence whatsoever...

just empty news to fill up. I think the media is having withdrawals from dissing the Clintons on a daily basis. They're digging deep making shit up.

[MichiganVote]

8. Well Paris Hilton has been very quiet of late, Lyndsay L./no story there

and McSame is a bore out of hell so what do you expect?

Its the MSM Clinton hour.....snore, what's new

[leftynyc]

13. And for G-d's sake!!!

Where the hell is Britney?

[MichiganVote]

16. No shit. Shiftless as usual. Must not have another useless "musical" CD for sale.

[polmaven]

22. Well there wasn't much to report

when she actually sowed up at the last custody hearing, so MSM had to get dirty somehow, didn't they? TSK!

[NYC_SKP]

23. Leave Britney Spears alone! Leave her alone!

How can anyone make fun of Britney after allllll she's been through?!

10. first? you divide them...

then? conquer

rinse, repeat

[Arkansas Granny]

12. Evidence! Since when does the MSM need evidence? Seriously, they need

some sort of controversy to attract readers or viewers. If they don't have anything, they manufacture it. I've noticed a favorite ploy is to ask a loaded question to lure people in and then talk about it amongst themselves with no source, no documentation.

[Jakes Progress]

21. Like OMG! Doncha know

that the Clintons are neocon devils. I read it right here. Someone said they hear it on the television. Swear to God. It said if it was evil or bad, the Clintons did it. So there.

[Catherine Vincent]

24. Of course it's the media.

And the Clinton haters here eat it up.

[NYC_SKP]

25. Top Story today, apparently.

Just turned on the tube....They were talking about it as Hardball ended, and it was the first topic on Race to the Whitehouse.

I need to upgrade my cable to include BBC or some other better news service.

[Swamp Rat]

26. Corporate media is in the business of creating news, not reporting it.

Meanwhile, say goodbye to the 4th Amendment... among many other real news stories not being covered by the M$M.

27. Probably Because He Had "Insiders" Tell The 'Atlantic' Exactly Why He Was Upset With Obama

28. Outplayed at his own game, I'd be pissed too...

Bill needs a hobby, a harmless distraction.

What a fun poll that would be, "What should Bill Clinton do to take his mind of Hillary's failed campaign?"

In the interest of unity and a profound dislike for pizza, I shall refrain from posting the question.
