Geffen Gets Hillary's Goat

David Geffen is making waves with his recent comments about the Clintons, as quoted by Maureen Dowd this morning in The New York Times. Specifically, he said of them, "Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it's troubling." He also called Hillary Clinton "overproduced" and "overscripted," and says Bill Clinton is "reckless." Now Hillary Clinton is fighting back – attacking Geffen and his favorite candidate, Barack Obama.

Clinton's campaign spokesman, Howard Wolfson, says, "If Senator Obama is indeed sincere about his repeated claims to change the tone of our politics, he should immediately denounce these remarks, remove Mr. Geffen from his campaign and return his money. While Democrats should engage in a vigorous debate on the issues, there is no place in our party or our politics for the kind of personal insults made by Senator Obama's principal fundraiser."

I personally found Geffen's remarks refreshing in their truthfulness, and hope Obama will keep the man on board – and keep him talking.
