The More Things Change...


Sweet Jesus, I'm glad Hillary is running.  This campaign is becoming like a scenario where the cast from M*A*S*H decided to get together for one last season....but it didn't suck as bad as After M*A*S*H.

Two new books about the ice queen came out recently.  One's by Carl Bernstein and the other by NYT reporters Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta.  Without summarizing the books' entiriety, they each present Hillary as someone who's ambitious, smart and has really learned how to dance close to ethical boundaries.

My favorite part of the story, of course, is how the Hillary campaign responds to this.  They fall back to another move that always worked for her spouse.
"The news here is that it took three reporters nearly a decade to find no news."

Addendum:  The Politico is all over this classic Clintonian damage control tactic.
