Republicans blast Sen. Clinton on Bush attack

Republicans took aim at Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday for a speech comparing President Bush to Mad magazine's freckle-faced, "What, me worry?" kid, Alfred E. Neuman.

A Republican National Committee official said the former first lady was "part of today's angry and adrift Democrat Party," while a spokesman for one of her potential 2006 Senate rivals said she was guilty of "insulting the president."

Personally, I think the keepers of the flame at MAD are the ones who ought to feel insulted.

But I digress.

Perhaps we should ask how the RNC feels about the angry and adrift Ann Coulter, who compared President Bill Clinton to OJ Simpson, and called him "a pathological liar, a sociopath, and felon." Or the Republicans in Congress a few years ago who compared Bill Clinton to Hitler.
