Hillary is “a monster”? What, like Freddie Krueger?

Samantha Power is currently in the UK, promoting her new book. Somehow I don’t think this is quite the sort of message the Obama campaign is likely to find especially helpful:

Ms Power told The Scotsman Mrs Clinton was stopping at nothing to try to seize the lead from Mr Obama. “We f***** up in Ohio,” she admitted. “In Ohio, they are obsessed and Hillary is going to town on it, because she knows Ohio’s the only place they can win. “She is a monster, too – that is off the record* – she is stooping to anything,” Ms Power said, hastily trying to withdraw her remark… “Interestingly, the people in her innermost circle seem to not mind her; I think they really love her.” But she added: “There is this middle circle – they are really on the warpath. But the truth is she has proved herself really willing to stoop.”
