Hey, that's great. Why do I get the sinking feeling that the same people advising her are the same people who advised Jennifer Granholm? Why would she hem and haw about this, and distance herself from it, going so far as to say that her involvement was so marginal that she never even went to Cuba? Why not go right back on the offensive, and accuse the group behind the ad of hating America and the fundamental right it guarantees everyone to a fair trial? |
