On CNN, Donahue claimed Penn repeated "drug issue ... over and over and over" -- but Matthews first asked about drugs

SUMMARY: Discussing controversial remarks made by a then-co-chair of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign about Sen. Barack Obama, Jennifer Donahue claimed that the Clinton campaign is "playing the race card" because of "what happened last week on the drug issue" and that Clinton's chief strategist, Mark Penn, "kept repeating it over and over and over." In fact, the entire Hardball segment on which Penn appeared was devoted to the controversy over the remarks about Obama's past drug use, and Penn was not the first to raise the drug issue.
