Newsday's cheap shot
The Long Island newspaper digs up a case from Hillary Clinton's early law career, and creates a hit piece with little basis.
Alex Koppelman [2008-02-25]

  • "it's something she should be praised for."

    I have to wonder if Hillary Clinton would be praising someone she was facing in an election if this information applied to them? My guess is she would be making use of it anyway she could.

    She did her job as a lawyer. She can't be faulted for that, but she is running on her "35 years experience", and this is part of her experience. Its entirely fair to question her on it, especially because her "35 years experience" are always framed in large part as being a tireless advocate for women's and children's issues.

    Its not a big deal, its not an election make-or-break issue, but it does speak to the convoluted nature of the Clinton's character. She owns her past and her "35 years experience." she can't complain or cry foul when all that experience comes into play.
