He is getting pretty desperate, isn't he?

http://www.buzzfeed.com/bensmith/how-reince-priebus-reinvented-the-political-party#.rhje8xQJj

“Bill Clinton’s activities are fair game for Hillary Clinton to answer, absolutely. And if there are things that Bill Clinton has done that we don’t know about, politically or through business enterprise, that are questionable and/or illegal, then we ought to look into it and ask Hillary about it too, because the presumption is that she’s gonna benefit from the successes of Bill Clinton, so I think it’s fair game,” Priebus said.

What about his personal life, he was asked. Is that fair game?
“I would say that the Monica Lewinsky stuff is a little stale and old, obviously,” Priebus said. “But if it turns out that there are things that are going on, and that we didn’t know about, he’s a public figure. He’s a former president. And they want to launch Hillary into the public eye. She deserves just as much scrutiny as anybody. And if Bill Clinton was up to things we find to be unscrupulous, I think that people ought to know about it.”

If you guys can dig into Romney's personal life, then so can the GOP

Its not that I'm disgusted that they'd dig into Bill Clinton's personal life to take down Hillary.  I'm more amused that they think that's a viable method of attack.

Good. That means Reince Priebus' personal life is fair game, too.

Yes, attacking Ann Romney's personal life and demanding that Mitt answer for his wife's behavior is what cost him the election /s

The tactic is still reprehensible regardless of what the result is

Good, I hope the GOP tries their best to repel female voters even more than usual. Smiley

Ugh, remember the insults toward Ann Romney? Sad
It is not fair game at all, Reince.

Uh, the horse. The "Ann Romney never worked" comments. Where were you, under a rock? Ann Romney hasn't faced the attacks that Michelle Obama has faced from the GOP base, but Romney wasn't spared from the attacks herself.

Nearly every Democrat condemned the "never worked" comments, though they really weren't that bad. Doubtful anyone will repudiate Priebus.

Not to mention there's really no equivalence between some random Democratic pundit on Twitter and the chairman of the RNC.

Americans already know Climton's vices and they don't care. He remains popular because his record as President, the GOP can keep dredging up personal attacks on him but most people don't care.

If this is "digging into Ann Romney's personal life," your interpretation of the term is incorrect.

OK. I want to know every single detail about Rience Priebus' personal life, as well as those of his family members, so we can have some fun on their expense. After all, it's a fair game.

I am amused that Mehtehmum or whatever or whoever he is, is amused that the Republicans see going after Bill Clinton is a line of attack,  if it works and a preferred option, then why not. Will see how amused you Democrats are, once us Republicans do actually go after Billary.  Everything is fair game after the crap you Democrats pulled on Mitt in 2012; at least he's a known quantity,  wonder what old Bubba has been up to since 2001. There should be a treasure trove of stuff to titillate,, shock &  entertain us. Bring on Hillary!
