Connie Allenbury

As with all things Clinton, because they are on the losing end, now it is OK to say "party unity my ass." Where is a playwright when you need one, an author who could tack on this most perfect denouement for a divisive family's most divisive campaign?

Linda Hirshman | Posted 08.20.2008 | Politics


Linda Hirshman

This stadium thing looks like a really bad idea. But I did not write of this in public, because the blowback to criticizing Obama is so distracting and also because, well, they would probably wait for a man to say it.
