Hillz to reporters...

And she's STILL pushing that story, even though all involved parties have clarified that it was a misrepresentation of what actually happened.
Here's what she said about it just this morning (incidentally, check the last comment under the linked article....I got it in just before they closed the comments):
"I find it kind of curious, we took action, and I think it was appropriate," she continued. "Contrast that to Senator Obama's campaign where, as far as I know, nothing was ever done when one of his top economic advisers representing the campaign, unlike Mr. Penn who was not representing the campaign, but Mr. Obama's representative told the Canadian government basically not to pay any attention to what Senator Obama was saying about NAFTA."
Hillary has a LOT of gall.

In fairness, I don't personally feel that there's significant partisan intent in the coverage of the candidates. What I do feel is that they go for whatever the most sensational story is, and I guess a Presidential candidate's ex-pastor shouting "god damn America" is more sensational than a chief strategist pushing deals that are counter to what the candidate they represent supports is. Doesn't much matter which is more pertinent to the actual Presidential race. And as for McCain, I think it's safe to say that he's getting ignored because there's no drama around him right now. I really doubt that political agendas are driving the lack of coverage.
