She thinks I'm stupid (probably you too)

MSNBC’s town hall style show last night, the one with the two Democratic presidential candidates, had more than a few bugs, IMHO. But it also offered a perfect example of how the Clinton du jour slithers out of tight spots by blurring the lines defining them. It centered around her secret Wall Street speeches.

Here’s what she was asked by an audience member (according to NBC’s transcript of the event):

"As the Democratic presidential candidate who has delivered speeches to the largest U.S. financial institution in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees, why are you hesitant to release transcripts, or audio-video recordings of those meetings in order to be transparent with the American people regarding the promises, and assurances that you have made to the big banks?"

Pretty clear, right? And here was her response:

"I'm happy to release anything I have when everybody else does the same, because every other candidate in this race has given speeches to private groups, including Senator Sanders."

But the question was not about speeches to private groups. It was about speeches to Goldman freaking Sachs and other big financial corporations. Wall Street.

Nobody cares (certainly I don’t care) what she said to the Puppy Lovers of America, even though a great many of her supporters and donors may be puppy lovers. (Although if it was worth $250 G’s it must have been pretty entertaining.)

I don’t care what Bernie said to them either.
