Hillary Clinton's Wink-Wink on NAFTA to Canada That She Blamed on Obama.
Advertisements [?]
For those folks who turn off programs that upset their delicate sensibilities and seem to have missed the actual story:

March 06, 2008
CLINTON was first on NAFTA ‘wink, wink’ to Canada
http://socraticgadfly.blogspot.com/2008/03/clinton-was-first-on-nafta-wink-wink-to.html

That’s what Canada’s top paper, the Globe and Mail, says:

Ian Brodie, chief of staff to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, supposedly talked about Clinton staff back-dooring on NAFTA to a CTV informal press backgrounder:

”He said someone from (Hillary) Clinton’s campaign is telling the embassy to take it with a grain of salt. . . That someone called us and told us not to worry.”


And, CTV was looking at the Clinton angle first:

CTV News President Robert Hurst said he would not discuss his journalists’ sources.

But others said the content of Mr. Brodie’s remarks was passed on to CTV’s Washington bureau and their White House correspondent set out the next day to pursue the story on Ms. Clinton's apparent hypocrisy on the North American Free Trade Agreement.

However, CTV coverage focused on Obama, for whatever reason.


Hmmmmmmm. I wonder what reason? Could it be rightwing pols assisting ClintonCo in their campaign of lies and bullshit?
