Depends On What Your Definition Of "Whining" Is
Per Bill Clinton's earlier comments (see post below), does this qualify as a whine?
Or what about this?
From the NYT, 10/31: “The Politics of Pile-On,” Mrs. Clintons’ Web site announced this morning. “What happens when the ‘politics of pile-on’ replaces the ‘politics of hope.’” The campaign later released a video that featured Mrs. Clinton’s Democratic rivals saying her name repeatedly. A headline on the Drudge Report, which said it was reflecting thinking in Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, read, “Scorn: As the Men Gang Up.”
Just asking ...

@ nascardem
You get one fine example of it right here.
Bill C. pilfers BS. Objective journalist calls him on it.

Thank you for posting this. Speaking of objectivity, I continue to be amazed at what the Clintons (and their campaign) will go around saying without anyone calling them on it. She "never whined?" She's spent the past 3 months whining about the way the media covered her. She whined after the two Ohio/Texas debates which were meticulously evenhanded, she went on SNL to make sure they would keep doing her whining for her. This "she never whined" stuff doesn't qualify as a bad opinion, it's a straight out lie. Thanks for calling him on it.

Its funny how in the first debate that Sen. Obama has to face pointed questions, he puts up a world class fuss. He didn't seem to mind when those questions were aimed at Senator Clinton.
Obama never said a word about the nastiness hurled at Senator Clinton. Apparently "gotcha" questions are only bad when it happens to him.
Such hypocrisy.

Obama is a whiner....but compared to Hillary
he's a piker. This babe has been whining
about a "vast right wing conspiracy" since
she and Bill tripped over their own feet time
and time again on their road to political
Valhalla. She was dragged kicking and screaming
to face her own husband's treachery. The blue
dress shut her up for a time...until a
senatorial seat in NY looked too good to
resist. People like this don't have the class
to stop begging the electorate for chance
after chance to prove their "worth" to
American politics.

Ummm...Hillary has had the press going after her for years and years. She has every right to complain. Obama has one debate where they ask him a few tough questions..and he's already whining. It's pathetic really. He deserves it after his glowing press coverage all year.
