Stabbing her in the back

Okay, this is Somerby's territory, but I'm well and truly sick of this. I am no great fan of Senator Clinton, though I have admired her political savvy, but this ongoing "journalistic" narrative that she's some power-hungry, man-eating, knife-wielding bitch has either got to be reported, ya know, with some examples and facts, or stopped.

This morning on NPR, Dana Milbank of the Post's "Washington Sketches" sketched a typical casual aside in giving his review of last night's speech based, I guess, on his having watched it on TV:

In fact, Hillary Clinton was situated immediately behind Barak Obama making it easier for her to stick the knife directly into his back if that's what she was trying to do.

"If that's what she was trying to do?" What does that mean?

If Dana Milbank knows of some aspect of Senator Clinton's behavior that has been anything but cordial to her fellow senator, than he should report. If not, then he should shut the fuck up.
