#3 Politicians and Car Dealers are the only people left on the planet that are unaware of the coming of the digital age. Curious coincidence wouldn't you say?
You can sit there in front of the car dealer with the Edmunds papers in your hands in plain view of them and listen to them lie with a straight face. Same with politicians.

#4 Senator Clintons problem is not that she has a difficulty telling the truth. Face it, the Clinton legacy will always be about complete disregard for raw facts that dont support their narrative. Her problem is that even her fellow Democrats have started to take notice that she doesnt have the ability to spread the bullshit like her husband.

#5 Frank Rich's column is verbose but its an indicator that the NYTimes has turned on Hillary.

Not only is she about done for 2008, but with the media elite hitting her like this it will make fundraising way more difficult both for this year and if she wants to try for a Prez bid in 2012.

Of course, by 2016, Chelsea will be eligible to be elected President.

#6 They ignored the likelihood that a television network would broadcast the inevitable press pool video of a first ladys foreign trip...

I doubt it. They are a) pros, and b) Team Clinton. They calculated the likelihood as near-zero based on their prior experience with factor (b) being Teflon-like with the media between 1993 and 2000.

#7 But the political power of the Bosnia incident speaks at least as much to the passions aroused by the war as to the media dynamics of the Web

poor dems. Frank Rich and friends are so deranged that think they can write off Hillary's lie by using 6 billion words to say that it is understandable she would be compelled to lie because of her "misvoting on Iraq".

Yeah, right Frank. Who were you saying was gettin old and out of it?

#8 Her problem is that even her fellow Democrats have started to take notice that she doesnt have the ability to spread the bullshit like her husband.

More like that she doesn't have the power to break kneecaps and careers like her husband did...

#9 The Democrats have been nurturing and fertilizing the politics of division. They have fostered cultural wars. They have tried to Balkanize America. They have tried to split this great country into factions. Now the chickens are coming home to roost and they don't seem to have a clue that they have fouled their own nest.
