12. Those incidents were *before* the advent of the interwebs. Now, information is widely available

on blogs and in articles that never make it to the front pages of print media, therefore, they were never able to reach the masses. With the internet, rumors can travel and reach billions lightning quick.

It doesn't take lawsuits and perp-walks to soil a family name. All it takes is innuendo and the appearance of corruption.

But I agree, and condone, that she just might use this information in order to bring those Teapublicans in the House to heel when she wins the White House and Democrats when back the Senate, and when she wants to get things done for the American people.
