Those Loyal to the Clintons Take Note of Who Not

I smiled when I read this. Losing sucks and the Clintons are NOT gracious losers.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was gracious in her full-throated endorsement of Senator Barack Obama. But that does not mean all is forgiven by others in the Clinton universe.

For proof, look no further than Doug Band, chief gatekeeper to former President Bill Clinton.

Mr. Band keeps close track of the past allies and beneficiaries of the Clintons who supported Mr. Obama’s campaign, three Clinton associates and campaign officials said. Indeed, he is widely known as a member of the Clinton inner circle whose memory is particularly acute on the matter of who has been there for the couple — and who has not.

“The Clintons get hundreds of requests for favors every week,” said Terry McAuliffe, the chairman of Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign. “Clearly, the people you’re going to do stuff for in the future are the people who have been there for you.”

I'd like to hear McAuliffe's definition of "do stuff".

The author also tried to defend the honor of the Gray Lady with this tidbit.

The news media have already focused on some list entries, including the online gossip purveyor Matt Drudge (who had the nerve to show up at Mrs. Clinton’s departure speech on Saturday), Todd S. Purdum of Vanity Fair (the author of a recent profile of Mr. Clinton) and the cable network MSNBC (whose hosts Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann are charter list members, Clinton associates said).

There was a time when the FOB/EOB list mattered, but I wonder how much it matters now that the Clintons have been exposed for the powerless, over-hyped, phonies they really are?

dont underestimate the clintons. they still hold some power, as a matter of fact you can take it to the bank that the Jasper Arkansas Gazette is going to be having some very strongly worded editorials from the Hillbillaries in the very near future.
