Inside the Clinton Sausage Factory

3/6/08, 2:25 pm EST

This devastating inside account of the Clinton campaign should be enough to scare any open-minded voter into thinking twice about installing Hillary Clinton in the West Wing.

In short: Her campaign is a total management clusterfuck, with competing cliques of seemingly unaccountable loyalists who excel at wasting money and ruling their fiefdoms by fiat and fear.

The top Clinton staffers come across as a uniquely unlikeable collection of toadies who all hate one another — and express that with frequent and public “fuck you’s”. That doesn’t even account for the distrusted and tellingly nicknamed “White Boys” loyal to former president Clinton who insinuate themselves into the process and yank of levers of power when things head south.

Look: Running a campaign of 1,000 people is a very reliable test of executive skill. For all of her years of experience and proximity to power, for all of her claims of being a hands-on COO, Hillary Clinton runs an unfathomably sloppy ship. One that can’t keep tabs on its finances. One that can’t keep its petty catfights out of the Washington Post.

Oh, and she can’t organize a simple caucus.

Caveat emptor.

Ah, the objectivity of the Fourth Estate. What’s the matter Tim, gettin’ scared?

You’d think running a website would be a LOT easier than running a campaign, but I guess not.

The Clintons are unethical their campaign is a reflection of there lack of honesty and integrity. Any one who believes that 4 am add is gullible.

Tim, you take the WaPo’s version of things as fact? You think Baker and the horrible Kornblut have a fair view of Hillary? Or is it just convenient that they’re bashing Obama’s opponent? They’ll turn on him if he’s the nominee, I guarantee.
