Hillary & Tonya?

ABC's Jake Tapper quotes an anonymous Democratic official who describes Hillary Clinton's strategy for winning the nomination as the "Tonya Harding" option.

It implies that Clinton is so set on ensuring that Obama doesn't get the nomination, not only is she willing to take extra-ruthless steps, but in the end neither she nor Obama win the gold.

(In this metaphor, presumably, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., would be Oksana Baiul. Does that make former President Bill Clinton Jeff Gillooly?) (Link)

I only wish we'd seen that quote before Tracy Barry's interview with Clinton yesterday. Anyone care to guess whether Tonya would be flattered or offended by the comparison?
