Exchange of the Week


"We had two very good men, and men of faith, run for president in 2000 and 2004. But large segments of the electorate concluded that they did not really understand or relate to or frankly respect their ways of life." Fabulist Hillary "Annie Oakley" Clinton (left) dissing John Kerry and (as-yet-undeclared superdelegate) Al Gore, April 13, Grantham, PA.

"I know Al Gore was mentioned earlier. By the way, I have to say, I think Al Gore won." Barack Obama, same time and venue.

Bonus quote: "She's talking like she's Annie Oakley. Hillary Clinton is out there like she's on the duck blind every Sunday. She's packing a six-shooter. Come on, she knows better. That's some politics being played by Hillary Clinton. I want to see that picture of her out in the duck blinds." Barack Obama, April 13, referring to Clinton's recalling her childhood "hunting experiences," in a attempt to show how she "respects" "relates to" and "understands" supposed small-town values.
