Campaigning Hollywood Style: Worthy of an Oscar

It's no surprise that Hillary Clinton is calling for Obama to return $1.3 million in campaign funds when the organizer of the gala event was a past support of Bill Clinton. Yet, Clinton must realize movie mogual David Geffen was a supporter of her husband, not her.

Geffen commented to a New York Times reporter that "Everyone in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it's troubling." He called Clinton unelectable and raised questions about both Clintons' ethics and trustworthiness.

Instead of leaving it there, Clinton's people had to come back fighting, calling on Obama to both denounce the comments and return the money. Are you serious?! Would Clinton do likewise if the situation were reversed?! No way.

Geffen can say whatever he wants about any of the candidates. If Clinton weren't counting on him to once again raise a lot of money for her, the comments would go unnoticed.
