Clinton aide compares Obama to Ken Starr?

The Clinton campaign is getting even more agressive.

In an article I read today here Clinton’s aide, Howard Wolfsen, compares Obama to Ken Starr aka the shady lawyer in the Lewinsky trial.

“When Senator Obama was confronted with questions over whether he was ready to be Commander-in-Chief and steward of the economy, he chose not to address those questions, but to attack Senator Clinton. I for one do not believe that imitating Ken Starr is the way to win a Democratic primary election for president.”

Obama spokesman Bill Burton responded with:

It is absurd that after weeks of badgering the media to ‘vet’ Senator Obama, the Clinton campaign believes that they should be held to an entirely different standard. We don’t believe that expecting candidates for the presidency to disclose their tax returns somehow constitutes Ken Starr-tactics, but the kind of transparency and accountability that Americans are looking for and that’s been missing in Washington for far too long. And if Senator Clinton doesn’t think that the Republicans will ask these very same questions, then she’s not as ready to go toe-to-toe with John McCain as she claims.

Does anyone else think this election is getting juicy? Almost like a celebrity catfight, Paris and Shannon Doherty-esque?
