[...] As Hillary Clinton faced confirmation as Secretary of State, editors failed to document the extent of the questionable donations received by the Clinton Foundation. [...]

No worries, I am an irregular poster, and I figured it was something like that.

Dear Dr. Keith:

My apologies. I have been calling Mike K. “Dr. K.” for a couple of years now. I was responding to him.

Sorry for the confusion.

The absolute collapse of Republican principles is astonishing. Who are these people?

The hearings are ridiculous, except to show the complete emptiness of our political class.

CA BK…
A comment on the radio today that due to the cash-flow problems of the State, they might have to issue vouchers to taxpayers in lieu of checks for tax-refunds.
My understanding is that it only takes three creditors to force someone into BK court. If I receive a voucher, I will be soliciting other voucher receipients to join me in petitioning the BK Court to force CA into it.
They need to feel the full force of their idiocy to prevent/deter future behavior.

JVW,
Let’s hope that there is some strategic thinking behind the GOP Senators kid-glove treatment of HRC.

I think you nailed it. As difficult as her nomination is for conservatives, there could (and would) be far worse. She’s a pretty rational actor in a lot of ways. And there’s also the little fact about her getting 18 million votes in the primary. Not a hill worth dying on. Now cue the snark for the double entendre.

It’s not legal for US companies to do business with countries designated as supporting terror, or with companies overseas who’ve been accused of helping those countries. Companies pay fines for these things, and executives can face legal jeapordy personally. Marc Rich himself was convicted of this crime, among other crimes.

The Clintons are doing what is criminal for anyone else. How is it possible we allow this to continue? American politicians can always pick up easy money from the world’s criminals, and will do so unless we punish them. I rue the death of a free press, meaning a press that wants to publicize scummy acts like these, taking money from terrorist fronts.

Speaking of amnesty, does anyone want to bet that the collapse of Mexico will be Obama's big foreign policy test ? Can you imagine the chaos on the border if that happens ? And it looks about as likely as the California bankruptcy.

AD, wonder no more – Obama will announce an immediate immigration amnesty for the entire country, and encourage them to cross our borders en masse. McCain will serve as his point man for this momentous and progressive action. Problem solved.
