Good god. I really tried to read some of this but it's impossible to follow. Some guy is asking Hillary something about what she said about what some other people said and whether she said to them to say that about what they said about what she said? Is that right? Should I care? Why do you care? Is this high school or junior high? I forget.

I thought this kind of shit was Adrian!'s beat. What do you think about her energy plan?

Yay! The mean Slog IQ drops five points with every new post on this subject. Again, you're entirely right about the strategy and the proxies, Eli, but you'll never win, and it's just inside baseball shit taken too far anyway, so just give it up already.

"I'm really comfortable in the kitchen." What a sexist thing to say!

candy is not a guy, posting on the democratic party front runner from an interview that asked her to clarify some confusion over immigration and statements coming from her campaign is relevant however.

It's really sad when The Stranger joins the MSM in obsessively focussing only on Sen Clinton, when there are many other very well qualified candidates for President at the debates besides her.

But, hey, for this I joined the Stranger group on Facebook?

i think this was totally relevant. it's about time hillary address the gender card issue and the driver's license issue....and get back to the real issue, which is that she's good when given more than 30 seconds to answer a question.

i'm more interested, though, to see how this all plays at the debate next week.

Hmm, not sure what the other posters are having problems with. The Q&A seems pretty clear to me. Candy Crowley is definitely a woman, as it has been pointed out. She's a great reporter, IMHO.

The part that shocked me was HRC admitting this wasn't her best debate. Finally, finally, FINALLY a candidate admits that they are human, aren't always performing at 110% and would never do anything different again if they had the chance. I found HRC's comment refreshing, to say the least, and a major punch in the gut to the rest of the Dem candidates.

So wait.. she deserves more time to answer questions than everyone else? What kind of self-exonerating girly bullshit IS this!??!?!!!??!!

There were Anita Hill hearings? That's funny, I remember her testifying at Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings but I don't remember any Anita Hill hearings. Parking ticket maybe?

Well, whatever you people say (all of you are crazy, btw). All I know is this latest in the Hillary snit would probably make sense if it were reported by Adrian Ryan. And Adrian! is one person I trust to tell me for a fact whether or not this "Candy" is a woman or a guy.

And Mr. Pole? There is no line, and if there were, my place in it might very well be first. I don't know who every said you owned First Post, but whoever said it was not your friend.
