Superdelegate switches sides to prove his loyalty.

More whining about Obama’s whiningMcCain whinesClintonistas whine.  Observers whine about the whining over the whining.  Whining experts predict more whining to come unless whining overwhelms the whiners’ propensity to whine about whining.

The media cites low “political capital” as reason for Jenna Bush’s private wedding.  Jenna Bush cites a preference not to invite the media to her wedding.

Newly revealed memos expose Clinton’s dishonesty.  Other newly revealed memos expose sky’s blueness.

Some economists say something, others say nothing.

Hillary for VP movement grows.  Obama campaign begins hiring food tasters.

    A decade before Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton admitted fudging the truth during the presidential campaign, federal prosecutors quietly assembled hundreds of pages of evidence suggesting she concealed information and misled a federal grand jury …

    Boy sounds just like what Libby got convicted for.  Michael will probably come along and tell us why she should have gone free.

    <blockquote>Boy sounds just like what Libby got convicted for.  </blockquote>
    The comparison to Libby is pretty apt, as she ought to hold the copyright on the "I don’t recall" defense that he used. Back in the day when I used to listen to Rush Limbaugh he had a great parody of her testimony, set to the tune of "Try to Remember". I don’t know how many times she gave a variation the response "I don’t recall" but it was astounding that someone could respond that way and expect people to believe that she had no memory of all of the events she was being questioned about.

    That episode plus the missing Rose Law firm records turning up (coincidentally, I’m sure, this was soon after the statute of limitations had run out) put an end to any benefit of the doubt that I could possibly extend to her about her credibility.
