A classic case of "open mouth, insert foot" has occurred in Hillary's increasingly desperate campaign for the Democrat nomination. Naturally, practically no mention of it is being made in the mainstream press.

The New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/26/us/politics/26clinton.html reports that Mrs. Clinton "is now unleashing what one Clinton aide called a "kitchen sink" fusillade against Mr. Obama." She does make one good point:
*** QUOTE ***
"We've seen the tragic result of having a president who had neither the experience nor the wisdom to manage our foreign policy and safeguard our national security," Mrs. Clinton said in a speech on foreign policy at George Washington University. "We can't let that happen again."
*** END QUOTE ***
The problem is, it's a good point that is essentially useless to her in a Democratic primary. The best example of the "tragic result" to which she refers is the presidency of Jimmy Carter. One could also make a case that it describes Bill Clinton. But of course she is referring to George W. Bush.
