Joe Conason too nice to Hillary over Scaife

Contrary to Conason’s take in Salon, political necessity didn’t force Hillary Clinton to meet personally with Dick Scaife, even if she felt she had to drop by his newspaper, the Pittsburgh Press-Tribune.

Joe, we haven’t seen pictures of Barack Obama with Dick Scaife, have we? Whether or not he drops in on the PPT. And, it’s arguable that, because of the particular angle the PPT takes on the op-ed page, Clinton didn’t need to visit there at all, unless she’s pandering for votes of Republicans changing their registration.

What next, Joe? Especially if there’s a pre-convention gridlock, is she supposed to drop in on the Washington Times and visit the Revvvvv. Moon in person?
