Hillary Campaign Sticks Reporters In Men's Room
Are You Trying To Tell Us Something? Hillary Campaign Sticks Reporters In Men's Room
By Greg Sargent - March 4, 2008, 1:06PM
Forget the dog house. The Hillary camp had other ideas for where to stick reporters assigned to cover her in Texas yesterday: In the men's room, right next to the toilets...

It was immediately interpreted as something of a metaphor for the Clinton campaign’s attitude to the press: With Sen. Hillary Clinton at Austin’s convention center for “a Texas-sized townhall,” her media entourage was taken to its work space — in a men’s room of a separate community center.
The tables set up for reporters nearly abutted the urinals. That made for a more spirited rush than usual for the best working space, with female reporters quickly staking out chairs on the small room’s opposite side.


So was the Hillary campaign trying to tell the reporters something? No, claims Clinton spokesperson Doug Hattaway: “For the record, these accommodations should in no way be taken as a commentary on the quality of our media coverage.”

We believe it. If Clinton campaign advisers had situated members of the press in accordance with their attitude towards the media right now, the reporters would have found themselves sitting in the urinals, not near them.
