Kerry Healey's myth of victimhood

Does the Muffster really believe this stuff? From an AP story that ran this afternoon:

Republican gubernatorial candidate Kerry Healey deflected criticism that she has run a negative campaign, saying she never intended so much attention to be paid to ads featuring a woman being stalked and highlighting her Democratic opponent's advocacy on behalf of a convicted rapist.

Healey told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday that it was the media that played up her opponent's support for a convicted rapist — and not her campaign's ads.

"The media has spent too much time focusing on this one issue and therefore we as a campaign have ended up spending more time talking about this one issue than about many of the many other substantive issues," Healey said.

Whatever gets her through the night, I guess.

Translation: Clearly, it's the media's fault this was brought up in the first place. That darned media! Why can't it focus on the issues? Instead, the media makes new controversies like this! I didn't think this was an issue at all, so I only put thousands of dollars behind the creation and airing of the ad.
