Former Congressman John LeBoutillier writes:
…[t]he last thing the Hillary Campaign wants right now is stories of her alleged lesbianism to crop up. Such reports and speculation would be devastating to her already-in-trouble campaign in Iowa. And nationally the last thing the Democrats want is Hillary seen as a lesbian – when the country wants to get away from scandals and messes and move into a new political era.
Barack Obama and his troops must be exultant today over this.
One of the things to watch early this week is how does the American political media address this burgeoning story? Do they en masse ignore it? Or do they feel compelled to ask Hillary and Huma about it if only to get their denial on the record?
Certainly if this type of story applied to a Republican candidate, the media would be all over it. But there has always been a clear double-standard with the Clintons and especially with Hillary.
Fox News should be “fair and balanced” on this. But their odd relationship with Hillary makes us all wonder. Fox News chief Roger Ailes happily and proudly calls Hillary “a friend” and says, “I like her.” So how objective about this are Murdoch and Ailes going to be – even when their own News Corporation newspaper breaks the story.
