What makes the accusations coming from Clinton supporters even harder to deal with is that I’ve consistently ignored the sort of stupid mini-controversies that come up during what passes for political process in this country. I haven’t written about most of them because, quite frankly, they’re stupid.

A great example today: Hillary Clinton’s RFK comments.

Look, I want her to leave the race for the good of the party and for her own legacy at this point, but this controversy is silly. I listened to the comments and the most “normal person” interpretation is that she was talking about candidates fighting for primaries in June, implying that there were several candidates still in. RFK was assassinated after the California primary in June. The second half of that sentence is what she was talking about, and the RFK assassination bit was just her mental touchstone about why she remembers it. That’s my interpretation.

I didn’t hear some “What if Obama was assassinated” remark, and I think all of this criticism is unwarranted. The Olbermann Special Comment was particularly unfair. Taking the least favorable interpretation and running with it usually is.

So, normally I wouldn’t even mention it, but I feel the need to defend Clinton after trashing her campaign a few posts below, especially since I’m certainly going to be accused of being “unfair” to her campaign.
