Sorry, Rig, you're all wet.

Hillary has made her own bed, and is now lying in it. The media just reflect this. You may think the sniper incident was blown out of proportion. Her problem is it is part of an ongoing pattern-in her supposedly strongest suit--experience.   In every one of her supposed areas of foreign policy experience---Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Macedonia, China and Rwanda, her claims have been exposed as a house of cards.

You have provided precisely no evidence to counter this.

And the sniper incident assumes even more importance when you realize--if you are capable of thinking this through--that it is likely to hurt her in an unexpected way with a group she desperately needs--blue collar white men--who include many veterans and others who know what sniper fire really is--and that you would know if you had experienced it.

If anything, the media--so far--have mostly let her off the hook in the most recent example of her spectacularly bad judgment---her most vulnerable area. The visit of Mark Penn, her main spokesman, to Columbia--to promote a trade agreement she supposedly strongly opposes, highlights her wretched record in judgment.

And you might also note that Mr. Penn's firm also represents John McCain--another fact the media have let slip by to a large extent.

She and her supporters have no cause to whine about the media.
