Edwards campaign jumped into the fray over Hillary Clinton’s comments slamming Obama’s foreign policy experience, that producer Aaron Bruns wrote about in the previous entry, and came to Obama’s defense, by calling HRC’s attacks ” Mud-slinging”. During the Vegas debate, Clinton accused Edwards, and her other opponents of “throwing mud.”

Here’s the statement released by Edwards Communications Director Chris Konfinis:

Edwards Campaign: The Definition Of Mudslinging

mudslinging |mŭd’slĭng’ing| (also mud-slinging)noun informal
the use of insults and accusations, esp. unjust ones, with the aim of damaging the reputation of an opponent. As in: Hillary Clinton said about Barack Obama, ‘Now voters will judge whether living in a foreign country at the age of 10 prepares one to face the big, complex international challenges the next president will face.

Now we know what Senator Clinton meant when she talked about ‘throwing mud’ in the last debate. Like so many other things, when it comes to mud, Hillary Clinton says one thing and throws another.
