On Hillary’s Trail (II)

By Robert Stacy McCain on 3.25.08 @ 12:26PM

GREENSBURG, Pa., 11:15 a.m. Hillary Clinton’s fans are now lined up — I’d estimated their numbers at more than 400 now — to get into Chambers Hall, where the doors open at 11:30 a.m., and the event starts at 1:30 p.m. Vendors on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg are hawking Hillary buttons at $3 each, or two for $5. Ah, capitalism …

In a recent phone conversation, Wlady suggested I ask members of the waiting throng what they thing about how Hillary “misspoke” about landing in Bosnia under sniper fire. Sorry, but I’m afraid to ask. There’s a heavy Secret Service presence here, and if there’s one word you never say around those guys, it’s “sniper.”

UPDATE: It’s now clear that the hall, which seats some 1140, will be filled to the rafters for Hillary.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

The American Christmas, like the songs that celebrate it, makes room for everybody under the rainbow. Is that why so many people seem to be hostile to it?
