"Hillary defends Iran vote"

Markos:
She's losing it.

Ms. Dennett eventually piped up and mentioned Iran – a reference to Mrs. Clinton’s vote this year to label the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, which Mr. Obama and Mr. Edwards criticized with the suggestion that it could embolden President Bush to go to war.

“It seems like a pattern, that’s my concern,” Ms. Dennett said.

“I don’t think it’s a pattern, I just have a fundamental disagreement with my colleagues who are running,” Mrs. Clinton said. “I think the facts are indisputable – they support Hezbollah, they support Hamas.”

What happened to the confident, competent, and fiercely on-message candidate from earlier this year? The wheels are coming off the wagon. What's next, and ad with Obama and Edwards morphing into Osama Bin Laden?

She's become ridiculous.

Update: As noted in the comments, it looks like the "they" she refers to after "my colleagues who are running" is likely the Iran Revolutionary Guard. But man, that did not come out right. Very sloppy for a candidate who wasn't making these sorts of mistakes just a short while ago.

Howie P.S.: Monday's NY Times goes backstage with "In ’08 Race, the Other Clinton Steps Up Publicly."
