Eventually, maybe, the MSM will notice the other stuff. I'm not holding my breath, though.

And I would pray that this tittilating news would continue to be front and center at least until the Pennsylvania primary. For one, nothing plays the heart strings better for Hillary than a reinforcement of her victimhood.....and especially the shocking news that she was nearby in the same house while her hubby 'didn't have sex with that woman .' But, the real reason Hillary would prefer this replay to hold the public's attention is that it might outshout some other news from becoming front and center: 1] first reading of her schedule belies her claim to being involved in important Clinton administration decisions and actions [international crises, Family Leave Act to mention two] and rather defeats her 'ready on day one' hyped claims; and 2] contains a record of her actually speaking to and persuading a group of high profile powerful women to get behind NAFTA-which is the exact opposite of what she and her surrogates said to Ohio voters when they claimed [falsely] that she was a behind-the-scenes critic of NAFTA at the time of its passage.

It's already been noticed and commented on. The only thing really interesting about it is that you and your commenters have no reaction whatever except "Oh no this can be used to attack Clinton." Wouldn't it actually be easier in the long run to find candidates who aren't utter a*holes, instead of trying to defend the a*holes you're putting up now? Regards, Ric No, maha.
