Hillary Dodges Responsibility for Plagiarism Claim

By Ed Brayton

This is hilarious. Hillary Clinton is now claiming that it's the media making the plagiarism charge against Obama and her campaign had nothing to do with it:

"It's not us making this charge, it's the media," Clinton told Honolulu television station KITV Tuesday. "The media is finally examining my opponent which I think is important. We're trying to pick a president, someone for the toughest job in the world."

Right. Never mind that it was her campaign that posted the Youtube videos. Never mind that her campaign has now held at least two conference calls with reporters to keep the story going. and that she repeated it herself in the debate. Absurd.
