Thanks for alerting the Hair-on-Fire Brigade! They've been waiting for something to kvetch about - and I knew you wouldn't disappoint in coming up with something THIS IMPORTANT!!!

So the woman who has been living in a fishbowl and answering questions from the media since becoming First Lady of Arkansas, to becoming First Lady of a nation, to being a Senator, to being Secretary of State, has gone a WHOLE TWENTY DAYS without taking a question from the media!

OMG, OMG, OMG!!! What is she trying to hide? What nefarious democracy-killing plot is she up to?

Inquiring minds NEED TO KNOW!!!

I'll give you credit for one thing, Manny: your OPs are becoming even more irrelevant than supermarket tabloid headlines - and THAT is a pretty low bar to be able to limbo under.
