What bothers me more is the likes of Rush, Hannity and other RW pundits joining into the feeding frenzy. They should have let Hillary do the dirty work and keep their hands clean.

This might be wise if their goal is to seem like rational individuals, but what would they talk about, if not Obama? They are political commentators, and are pretty much obligated to comment on whatever flaps arise during the week. They have each spent something like 16 years dumping on Hillary, so that is bound to sound like a cracked record to their most loyal followers.
Basically, they are entertainers. Their job is mostly preaching to the converted, who need new nasty things to tell their buddies, because many of them are lacking in the talent to come up with amusing remarks, which are preferable to say, death threats, which few find amusing. Limbaugh is a jerk, but he IS funny sometimes.
If they do not comment on Obama, they are like Moe Shemp and Larry surrounded by banana cream pies they dare not throw.
I don't think these guys have ever actually had clean hands. Perhaps CLEANER hands might result if they were to let Obama be. But I would not hold my breath waiting for that.
