So far surrogates are doing the trash talking while Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama insist they are taking the high road.
David Geffen, the Hollywood mogul, hosted a $1.3 million fundrasier for Obama Tuesday; in the past he has raised millions for the Clintons. This time around, though, he tries to boost Obama by calling the Clintons liars. Of course, much of media -- mainstream, fringe, Internet, whatever -- are having a field day with this. Of course, Hillary, rolling in the political dough, demands that Obama, who is just getting started, give back the money raised by his Hollywood supporters. Don't be a bitch, Hillary. And, Obama, don't be a sucker and fall lower than that high road.
"We aren't going to get in the middle of a disagreement between the Clintons and someone who was once one of their biggest supporters," Obama's communications director, Robert Gibbs, said in a statement. "It is ironic that the Clintons had no problem with David Geffen when he was raising $18 million for them and sleeping at their invitation in the Lincoln bedroom."
Geffen has said that his words are his own. Let's leave it at that and get on with the real issues of this campaign.

The real issues? You mean like how Obama looks in a swimsuit?
*sigh*
I'm glad I missed that particular story, but Obama's response was played on a recent news program.
Oddly enough, one of the shows guests criticized Obama for supposedly turning on the media. Luckily, the other guest said that there are, occasionally, reports about Hillary that aren't focused on her gender, while every report about Obama seems to be race-related.
As you say, it's past time we were talking more about the meaty issues.
