Atlantic Monthly To Pull Down Clinton Campaign’s Pants

Memo’s Detail Contempt for Obama.

It is the time in a campaign when victors prowl the political battlefield killing the wounded. Now that John Edwards is begging for a taste of vinegar from his self constructed political cross comes boxes full of internal memos from Hillary Clinton’s campaign reported to be hyper critical of Barack Obama.

Advisers to Sen. Hillary Clinton “are in a tizzy over an upcoming piece in the Atlantic Monthly that chronicles the inner workings of the now-defunct campaign,” according to the Washington Post. Clinton staffers need cushy jobs and ratting on your previous boss, and especially a Clinton, as well as your party’s presidential nominee is no way to get one.

“Of particular concern are nearly 200 internal memos that the author, Josh Green, obtained — 130 or so of which he plans to scan in and post online. When the piece is published sometime next week, readers will be able to scroll through the memos, from senior strategists such as Mark Penn, Harold Ickes and Geoff Garin, and see what exactly was going on inside the infamously fractured Clinton organization. That has some former team members in a panic.”

Others have reported the memos say, among other things, that Obama is unelectable and linking him to Ghengis Khan, and are generally unflattering to the presumed Democrat nominee. The Atlantic Monthly story will “drop” later this week.
