Edwards strategist Joe Trippi called Mark Penn, his counterpart on the Clinton campaign, "unconscionable" on Saturday for dropping the word "cocaine" during a Thursday television appearance."On Thursday, as many of you know, on 'Hardball,' I was there when I thought [Clinton strategist] Mark [Penn] raised it again in a way that I thought was unconscionable and makes you wonder," Trippi told ABC News."We believe," he continued, "that that has no place and we have continued to try to make any differences we talk about be . . . differences on philosophy . . . and differences on policies, like health care. We'll continue to do that. . . To raise these other issues, many of them have no place and we're not going to participate other than, like I said, when I was there with Mark Penn, we are going to, when we can, call it out, and say, 'stop,' which is what I did on that show."Penn used the word "cocaine" while he, Trippi, and Obama strategist David Axelrod were being jointly interviewed on MSNBC's "Hardball." The cocaine reference came as Penn was arguing that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., was not interested in raising Sen. Barack Obama's, D-Ill., high-school drug use."The issue related to cocaine use is not something the campaign is in any way raising," said Penn on "Hardball."Trippi, who was standing next to Penn, seized on the use of the word "cocaine" as evidence that the Clinton team was intentionally trying to associate Obama with his past drug use even after the campaign had accepted the resignation of Bill Shaheen, the New Hampshire campaign co-chairman who first raised Obama's past drug use during a Wednesday interview with The Washington Post. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2007/12/12/post_235.html"I think he just did it again," said Trippi. "He just did it again."
