The Snub: Is this News-worthy?


Was yesterday a slow news day, or what? I've never seen so much media analysis of a potential snub. Did Obama intentionally turn away from Hillary (I'm doing it: that first name thing) or was he focused on something else? Maybe he was just zoning out or thinking about how badly he needed a very dry martini. I can imagine him as a CIA operative (remember those great early days of Alias?) listening intently to his earpiece: Boy Scout, target within handshake range; move out. Is this news? I was extremely disappointed in Hillary when she commented that she hoped to have the opportunity to shake Barack's hand in the near future. Why even dignify such nonsense with a passive aggressive response? Again, issues people: can you talk about actual issues instead of petty would-be snubs dreamed up by idiots who spend way too much time analyzing non-events? Those of us trying to select a presidential candidate worthy of our vote would really appreciate it.
