Fer cryin' out loud...

This better not become a big story, because it has "Who gives a sh!t?" written all over it:

(from the NYT via CJR)
In perhaps her most public display of emotion of the presidential campaign, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s eyes welled with tears, and her voice cracked dramatically on Monday, as she...
-SNORE!

I'm no fan of Hillary, but is this really a story?

This is on par with the Time's (virtually fact-free) deconstruction of the Clinton's marriage, WaPo opining on her neckline and gasbags discussing her aging in office.

The fact that it happened on video, doesn't mean it has any news value.

hahaha. Robin Givhan usually can provide a good chuckle with her otherwise useless "fashion" articles.
I had to laugh when she described seeing Hillary cleavage akin to catching a guy with his fly down.
Of course it's not relevant to anything, but she has a point. Hillary Clinton is definitely asexual.
