By: E&P Staff Rupert Murdoch's New York Post had been, at least off and on, surprisingly kind to Hillary Clinton for quite some time -- she is a home state U.S. Senator after all. That ended today when on its Web site (in print tomorrow) it endorsed Barack Obama in next week's key primary, and used some of its usual colorful language in doing it.
Here is an excerpt. The rest is at www.nypost.com

Obama represents a fresh start.
His opponent, and her husband, stand for d?j? vu all over again -- a return to the opportunistic, scandal-scarred, morally muddled years of the almost infinitely self-indulgent Clinton co-presidency.
Does America really want to go through all that once again?
It will -- if Sen. Clinton becomes president.
That much has become painfully apparent.
Bill Clinton's thuggishly self-centered campaign antics conjure so many bad, sad memories that it's hard to know where to begin.
Suffice it to say that his Peck's-Bad-Boy smirk -- the Clinton trademark -- wore thin a very long time ago.
Far more to the point, Sen. Clinton could have reined him in at any time. But she chose not to -- which tells the nation all it needs to know about what a Clinton II presidency would be like.
That counts for a very great deal ...
A return to Sen. Clinton's cattle-futures deal, Travelgate, Whitewater, Filegate, the Lincoln Bedroom Fire Sale, Pardongate - and the inevitable replay of the Monica Mess?
No, thank you.
