From the NY Times:

Over the last five weeks, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York has featured in her campaign stump speeches the story of a health care horror: an uninsured pregnant woman who lost her baby and died herself after being denied care by an Ohio hospital because she could not come up with a $100 fee.

The woman, Trina Bachtel, did die last August, two weeks after her baby boy was stillborn at O’Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio. But hospital administrators said Friday that Ms. Bachtel was under the care of an obstetrics practice affiliated with the hospital, that she was never refused treatment and that she was, in fact, insured.

“We implore the Clinton campaign to immediately desist from repeating this story,” said Rick Castrop, chief executive officer of the O’Bleness Health System.

Linda M. Weiss, a spokeswoman for the not-for-profit hospital, said the Clinton campaign had never contacted the hospital to check the accuracy of the story, which Mrs. Clinton had first heard from a Meigs County, Ohio, sheriff’s deputy in late February.

A Clinton spokesman, Mo Elleithee, said candidates would frequently retell stories relayed to them, vetting them when possible. “In this case, we did try but were not able to fully vet it,” Mr. Elleithee said. “If the hospital claims it did not happen that way, we respect that.”...

In fairness, Hillary and her staff were dodging sniper fire at the time and could not be expected to fully vet the usefully heart-wrenching anecdote.

Sheikh bin al BaraBitterBlackHusseinMadrassaOsamaBama on Jon Stewart tonight. Oughta be pretty interesting.

I have to wonder whether the PA outcome will be a big bad surprise for Mrs. Sniper Fire. We shall see shortly.

"it also vested sole and unchallenged discretion in the President to determine what does and does not constitute a violation of the Conventions."

OK, IANAL, but even this Great Unwashed Peon understands the clear, explicit clause in the Constitution according the Judiciary final cut with respect to treaty obligations.

BREAKING...

Fox News reports that GOP Maverick John McCain has introduced senate legislation designating November 7th as Jeremiah Luther King Day.

whether she intended it to be so or not. Whether she's innately "racist" or not.

The intentionality I see is in her disingenuously quoting "an article by the AP." Like, 'oh, understand, it's not me, but this is what some people are saying.'

Too clever by half. A tactic that will deservedly blow back on her.

is an oxymoron.

Yes, you can in fact "clean" the greenhouse burden contaminants out of any hydrocarbon fuel stock -- if you're willing to negate the net BTU utility.

Said it all. Ditto. Civil unions for all, in terms of state sanction. Then the various churches can "consecrate" or not as they deem fit.

And, just call all of it "marriage." An absurd waste of resources to go on fighting for decades over one word.

ignorant fucking lightweight even get on the show? His forensic chops consisted solely of escalating limbic-driven decibels of lame-assed deflection.

Solar in all of its forms (photovoltaic, wind, wave, hydroelectric). Add to that geothermal and nuclear. Yes, nuclear, warts and all.

Don't gimme the (essentially fallacy of perfectionism) "can't" canard. Maybe "we (the entrenched) don't want to," but not "can't".

Sheikh bin al BaraBitterBlackHusseinMadrassaJeremiahHusseinNotQuiteaBrothuhOsamaBama marches on.

wants a Constitutional amendment declaring "personhood" at "the moment of conception."

It's a stupid idea.

She's done.

MoFo oughta take the trouble to read the 172 page opinion.

Queen Hillary would wanna be Second Banana in a failed administration. Yeah, now, there's at ticket to First Chair down the line. (And if he succeeds, she's iced down 'til 2016).

Moreover, I'm to believe that Obama would want and accept the distraction of Hill and Bill running around acting like de facto co-Presidents, trying to upstage him at every turn.

Hahahahahahahohohohohohoheeheeheehee...

is a traitor who should be in jail.

The RFK assassination was entirely unnecessary to make the general argument for staying in (i.e., that primary races historically have gone on through June sometimes).

It was either [1] a dog whistle, or [2] evidence of incendiary poor judgment unbefitting a President.

“Hardworking White Americans” could not have been other than [1], sorry. This remark?

It was simply a disqualifyingly stupid remark, then. Not a dog whistle.

You want some cheese (and perhaps some Ativan) with that poignant whine?

"Nothing says 'I want to be your VP' like reminding the nation of previous Presidential candidate assassinations."

707!

In the wake of Hillary's "gaffe" today mentioning the murder of Robert F. Kennedy as one tangential rationale for her staying in the primary race, it occurs that, well, nothing whispers "psst- hey, I want to be your running mate" as effectively as does reminding the electorate of prior Presidential candidate assassinations.
