Do Obama Supporters Think Hillary Is Nuts?

First we have comedian Chris Rock comparing Hillary Clinton to the Glen Close character in 'Fatal Attraction' followed by NPR's political editor and a U.S. Congressman. Exactly what are they trying to tell us?
Chris Rock said it last month: "It's going to be hard for Barack to be president. ... Hillary's not going to give up. She's like Glenn Close in 'Fatal Attraction.'"
Then NPR political editor Ken Rudin made the joke, saying on "CNN Sunday Morning" that Clinton was "Glenn Close in 'Fatal Attraction' -- she's going to keep coming back, and they're not going to stop her." (Rudin later apologized.)
This week, Obama-backing Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., said on local television, when asked about Sen. Clinton, that "Glenn Close should have just stayed in the tub."
This is probably not doing Obama any favors as he tries to unify the party as the bruising nomination battle nears and end. Did someone say Obama-Clinton in '08? Not with these types of comparisons.
And by the way where is the outrage? Oh yeah, these words were uttered by liberals so it's ok.
