This week's screamer. When Hillary shot herself int he foot by raising the ghost of assassinations past in discussing RFK's summer campaign, she copped heat from all qurters, except Barack and RFK Jr. Barack said, hey, I understand how it is. You get tired, and you mis-speak. RFK said he understood and it was no big deal.

Now, lo and behold, the outrage of others -- notably, for example, Keith Olbermann, who practically tore Hillary a new one-- has been identified (according to Terry McAuliffe of Hillary's campaign crew) as being actually Barack's fault, hallelujah.

From the Houston Chronicle:

"Delusion reigns supreme in the Clinton camp these days. Just when I thought it couldnÕt get any stranger, Terry McAuliffe appeared today on Fox News Sunday and blamed the Obama campaign for HillaryÕs remarks about Bobby Kennedy. Yes, you read that right, itÕs ObamaÕs fault.

Here it is from the Washington Post:

"Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign accused Sen. Barack Obama's campaign of fanning a controversy over her describing the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy late in the 1968 Democratic primary as one reason she is continuing to run for the presidency

The Obama campaign tried to take these words out of context," Clinton campaign chairman Terence R. McAuliffe said on "Fox News Sunday." "She was making a point merely about the time line."

Ah yes, the dreaded out of context. The last refuge of someone trying to defend an indefensible statement. Tell me Terry, exactly what would be the proper context in referring to the assassination of a presidential candidate? Just curious."
