Hilary Clinton's RFK Comment

Yesterday, Hilary Clinton made a comment to the effect that RFK was assassinated in June. The comment came immediately after a reference to her husband going into June in the early 90's. The comment clearly was in the context of presidential nominees going into the summer without dropping out of the race; yet, for some reason, she immediately was accused of insensitivity towards the Kennedy family.

This is nonsense. Any sensible person can see that the comment was meant to say that presidential candidates still have a chance in the primaries well into the summer. I'm not a supporter of Clinton; in fact, I can't stand her. However, I think that the charges against her in this regard are nonsense.

Now, Hilary's comments on Bosnia are a different matter.
