Is this all there is?

The Clinton people have been hammering at Barack Obama for using lines from his friend Deval Patrick, governor of Massachusetts, in a speech to Wisconsin Democrats over the weekend. (Patrick says, no problem, and no attribution needed.)

Who cares?

Here's what's interesting about this incident to me: The Clintons have been saying that Hillary is best equipped to be the nominee, because she's been under the gun of the Republican attack machine and knows how to take their fire. But if this is all she and her campaign can find to fling at Obama, maybe the Republican attack machine will find there's no ammunition in a fight against the Illinois senator. Either that or the Clintons haven't learned as much from the last 16 years as they say.
