I'm not Zuska, but I suddenly find that I've got an almost uncontrollable urge to puke on someone's shoes. There's a new breaking story out about Hillary Clinton, junior senator from New York, and Democratic Presidential candidate. It's so shocking that over 1300 news articles have already appeared. Everyone seems to have gotten behind this one. The AP has several articles. The Washington Post made note of the story. CBS seems to think it's news. ABC apparently thinks that the story falls into the category of "investigative journalism". The Boston Herald's totally into this one.
The shocking revelation? She was apparently "home" (as in somewhere in the White House) on one or more occasions when her morally defective husband was receiving sexual favors from an intern.
Gee, I wonder why anyone would think that she's had to deal with sexism during her run for the White House.

Why anyone would have wondered why Hillary would have been reluctant to release this information previously is beyond me. The fact that this story is considered legitimate news is conclusive proof that 90% of Americans are complete idiots.

Omigod! Stop the presses! A woman was at home while her husband was in his office fooling around with an intern! Was Hillary baking cookies at the time? Inquiring minds want to know!
Whoever thought this story should make front-page news must possess a positively Bensteinian intellect.

This is appallingly stupid. Did it occur to any of these people how large a building the whitehouse is? (I'm inclined to believe that Hillary was fully aware of her husband's philandering habits but the notion that this is somehow relevant is ridiculous).
