Petty enough to send out this press release:
At an event in Boston this evening, Senator Obama claimed for the second time today that he is "not running to fulfill some long held plans" to be elected President, contradicting statements his friends, family, staff and teachers have all made about him."Senator Obama's relatives and friends say he has been talking about running for President for at least the last fifteen years. So who's not telling the truth, them or him?" Clinton spokesman Phil Singer said.

In third grade, Senator Obama wrote an essay titled 'I Want To Be a President.' His third grade teacher: Fermina Katarina Sinaga "asked her class to write an essay titled 'My dream: What I want to be in the future.' Senator Obama wrote 'I want to be a President,' she said." [The Los Angeles Times, 3/15/07]In kindergarten, Senator Obama wrote an essay titled 'I Want to Become President.' "Iis Darmawan, 63, Senator Obama's kindergarten teacher, remembers him as an exceptionally tall and curly haired child who quickly picked up the local language and had sharp math skills. He wrote an essay titled, 'I Want To Become President,' the teacher said." [AP, 1/25/07 ]
It's hard to know what exactly to say to that, but, "Put the crack pipe down and step away from the laptop, young man," probably comes close.

Does it matter? Why?
I hadn't heard about the third grade essay in addition to the kindergarten one, but I think the point stays the same.
One of the reasons this liberal reads CC and it's not (always) self-torture is that there occasionally comes the delicious day when Erin, Rod and I are 1,000% in agreement.
BTW, Rod, I agree that someone in the Clinton campaign is ingesting some magic mushrooms or hillbilly heroin (could be a hit on the crack pipe, too), to make such an appallingly hypocritical statement ...

There was an honest to goodness technical glitch on Bnet tonight, folks. I wasn't tooting my own horn twice (intentionally, anyway).
...a woman whose naked ambition for the presidency borders on the pornographic.
That's funny. Oddly indecent, but funny.
