Bill on going negative: media bias made her do it

Bill Clinton voiced his abiding anger at the media's coverage of him and his wife in Durham, N.H., today, and suggested that media bias will force Clinton to go negative on Barack Obama.

He also expressed his frustration that his wife is perceived by voters as divisive through, he said, no fault of her own.

because she is the most innocent. Plweeez!

Now Bill wants us to believe that it's all the fault of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy - and the media's part of it??

Just don't ask her questions, right?

Via Yid With Lid, Dick Morris sees BilHil as the couple that can't stop thinking about yesterday.

With the Clinton's, it's always someone else's fault.

Let me ask my readers, why does the American public keep Bill and Hillary in the political scene? Why aren't these two ostracized for their lies?

Yesterday Siggy and I discussed Iowa in a 15-minute podcast. We had a great time and great feedback from our listeners. Siggy took the Dr. House approach to politics and referred to Obama and Romney as "the cabbage patch candidates", while I asked, "Who in the world is going to vote for Huckabee for president?"

Muhammad teddy bear teacher on her way back to the UK

Updated
At the BBC:

A British teacher who was jailed in Sudan for letting her class name a teddy bear Muhammad has begun her journey home after being freed.
Gillian Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, was described as "elated" by UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband as her eight days in custody ended.

She was sentenced to 15 days jail, but pardoned by President Omar al-Bashir.

She is flying back to the UK via Dubai, and is expected to land in the UK on Tuesday morning.

She has already left Sudan.

She was a distraction.

Don't let the teddy bear b*tch see the light of day

It's a friggin' toy, fer crying out loud!

Calls in Sudan for Execution of British Teacher

"This woman gave an idol the name of Muhammad, which is not acceptable," said Ahmed Muhammad, the imam at a mosque in Khartoum 2, an upscale section of town. But, he added, the proper response was more nuanced: "We have to first respect ourselves, and then others will respect us."

Where to start?

1. It's a friggin' toy, Mr. Muhammad.
2. Being the religion of perpetual outrage doesn't give anyone, including your own minions, a reason for respect, particularly when

Despite the display of outrage, witnesses said that many of the protesters were government employees ordered to demonstrate, and that aside from a large gathering outside the presidential palace, most of Khartoum was quiet.

Tom Gross notices how the NYT downplayed the numbers. More displays of outrage at this BBC video.

Stephen Pollard, however, is more direct.
