Redstate

Glorious.

Via Tommy Christopher of Political Machine comes this... simply, this:

"President Clinton is obviously committed to doing whatever he can and is asked to do to ensure Senator Obama is the next president of the United States," Clinton's spokesman Matt McKenna told Reuters in a one-sentence e-mail.

Let us take a moment to examine this statement. I find it to be a deeply cynical exercise in political double-speak. I also find it to be a easily deniable piece of semantic-free fluff. I further find it to be a marvel of legalistic evasion that seeks to evoke the letter of a position while blithely evading its spirit - and if anything in these three statements are contradictory, well, the text itself aspires to a paradoxical state where it means nothing and everything simultaneously, thus allowing the reader to define whatever he or she chooses to. It is in fact a Rorschach made of pure, flavorless pap - but yet, it somehow seems to glory in that status.

In other words, it is precisely like the Obama primary campaign, and is thus all the response that the junior Senator from Illinois deserves.

Well played, former President Clinton. Well played, sir.
