For Obama Before She Was Against Him
Posted on | December 6, 2006
New York Post columnist Andrea Peyser
completely reversed her views on Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton from one edition of the paper to the next. That’s right: Two different versions of the same column appeared in the paper on the same day—one supporting Obama, and the other slamming him.
Depending on which version of her rantings readers encountered, Peyser either praised the Illinois Senator and probable 2008 Democratic presidential candidate as a “rock star” who has admitted to coke and pot use (”About time,” she said), or chided him as “The Rev. Al Obama.”
Post owner Rupert Murdoch is a reliable Republican propagandist, but he has a pragmatic streak that sometimes cuts against his politics….
The later version of Peyser’s column, which is featured on the Post’s website, slams Obama as a lefty extremist with no chance of beating Hillary. Could it be that the only thing the Post’s puppetmasters might fear more than another Clinton is a skinny kid with a funny name?
It’s fascinating to catch Big Money in the middle of making up its mind which Democrat it wants to defeat.
