Al Hunt: Distortions haunt Hill

Hyperbole is a staple of American political campaigns. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has crossed the line into distortion.

In recent debates and in an appearance on NBC television's "Meet the Press," she has flagrantly misrepresented her own and her opponents' positions or statements. The general tone, more than any specifics, of the Clinton effort contributed to Barack Obama's stunning 2-to-1 victory over her in the South Carolina primary this weekend.

You know it's getting bad when a Clinton bootlick like Al Hunt comes out with a column like this.

It's not the depths of the duplicity; compared with other abuses, like the Swift Boat attack lies against John Kerry in 2004, these are benign. The problem is there is a pervasive pattern at a time when voters are clamoring for authenticity.

Especially when the bootlick is a big fat liar too.
