Given all the Republican hand-wringing about the Clinton campaign staff planting a question at a town hall meeting, I’m tempted to ask why no outrage about President Bush, who only appears before audiences so sympathetic that the Kool-Aid stains are still on their mouths?
Maybe she needs to have a fake press conference.
You know, it’s just possible that the American electorate might be better informed if the media covered some actual issues once in awhile.

As a life long registered Democrat, I think if it’s wrong when bush does it, and if it’s wrong when FEMA does it, then it’s also wrong when Hillary does it.
If I could figure out where Hillary stands on the issues, I would appreciate that. Answering canned questions doesn’t seem to advance the possibilities, though.
Does Hillary really need her own Jeff Gannons to succeed?
But does it matter? Is this news? How many candidates don’t do some variation of this, despite their indignant denials?
More importantly, does it really have anything to do with who is best qualified to be President? And won’t this divert attention from important issues like tipping?
