Chelsea

I'm sure you've heard. MSNBC anchor David Shuster suggested the Clinton campaign had "pimped out" Chelsea Clinton by having her call superdeligates.

Does anyone else find the person, place, or timing just a tad convenient? Two weeks before a major political debate, an anchor of the sponsor network makes this statement?

Howard Wolfson, Hillary's communications director, said that "at this point I can't envision doing another debate on that network." Hillary will stand on principle and disagree with her director. The debates must go on, it's too important for The Children.

If ever there was a political softball, this is it. Go ahead, Hillary, swing away. Vegas should make book on how she'll react: will she be magnanimous? Show righteous indignation? Display a talent for edification? Go Verklempt? There is no possible bad answer, and that's the beauty of it.

If I had antennae, they'd be straight up.
