1. At least they covered it a little.
MSNBC has been running the same crap all weekend, as has Fox.

They all suck, though.

15. Our process is so complicated, it's hard to tell if it is policy or gamesmanship.
Sometimes I'd get infuriated at something Clinton did or said, and then later I find he was undercutting a Republican wedge issue.
