NO, she was NOT speaking off the record. After she blurted to the reporter who was interviewing her the monster quote--she said (realizing her gaffe immediately) 'that's off the record'.

In other words, she tried to yank it off the record the minute she said it.

But Homey don't play dat tune.

The much more serious gaffe on Powers' part wasn't calling Clinton a monster (that was just plain stupid, and her Harvard Highness knows it, as she is now all mea culpa, mea culpa mama). No, the far bigger gaffe, and the one she had to resign over, was her remark about Obama's Iraq policy.

It doesn't matter what other people call Clinton, but it very much matters what Obama's staff speaking to the press call her.

Especially when Obama claims to have seen the light, and be shining it down upon this dirty game called politics.

The high road ain't a two way or four way. It's a one way. And Obama's surrogates are no different than Clinton's.

They are all a bunch of sleeze bags, lying and talking out of both sides of their forked tongues.
