Is Hillary planning an April Suprise?

Thu Apr 10, 2008 at 06:10:25 PM PDT

A smart political operative said within earshot of me yesterday that if Hillary has more metaphorical bombshells to drop on Obama — and this operative has heard secondhand that she does — she'll do so between April 16, the date of her next debate with Obama, and April 22, Pennsylvania's primary day. The timing, of course, is so she doesn't get asked about it by the moderator or confronted by Obama.

I know it is from National Review and we should consider the source but it does look like the Clintons are following the Mutually Assured Destruction path because her own campaign is now spinning around the drain.

What could this be?

Remember when Hillary whispered something to Edwards after a debate about Barack's past?

Latest news bits from Hillaryland...

The Clintons have made a $100-million fortune since leaving the White House, but a Politico analysis found that hasn’t kept Bill Clinton from taking full advantage of the publicly funded perks offered to ex-presidents.

Not only are they very, very rich but they stiff people on bills and always grab free stuff (what was that rumor about White House silverware?).

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is pressing her claim that she opposed her husband's free trade push when he was president, despite her favorable words about it at the time.

"Mom and Dad stop fighting!"

Clinton offered no answer Thursday, after a famous fan — rock star Elton John — suggested that her gender hurts her. The British singer said he was "amazed by the misogynistic attitudes of some of the people in this country,"

Ok, so gender does not matter except when it does matter.

Talk show host Randi Rhodes has quit the Air America radio network, a week after it suspended her for using a derogatory word for Hillary Clinton during an event in San Francisco.

But apparently not for this woman's career.

By stressing her experience in her husband's White House in the 1990s and by portraying rival Barack Obama as an unprepared newcomer, Clinton invited de facto incumbency and a rehash of old fights in an era in which any whiff of status quo politics is toxic. Clinton fatigue and the anti-dynastic sentiment of two decades of Bushes and Clintons in the Oval Office have been widely debated. But the value of White House experience hasn't, and Jones says it is often overrated when Americans choose their presidents, even in times of national stress.

Inevitably is not a campaign plan.
