Political bits
(WSJ) Less than three weeks before rust belt, job loss Pa primary, Mark Penn meets with the Columbian government as a lobbyist to help them pass their free trade deal. (I guess he's gotta keep his day job for "after," but, why in the hell would you give this guy the keys to your campaign?)
(Ambinder) After the Clinton donor's threatening letter to Nancy Pelosi and the DCCC, the Obama fundraising muscle, both big and tiny donors, begin to make up the difference. (Think the superdelegates noticed the unbidden fundraising power of the Obama machine?)
(Rawstory) Clinton on Leno last night. She entered with a joke that she was late because of "sniper fire" and then launched into an explanation/defense of the Bosnia gaffe before Leno even asked a question. (The whole goal of the appearance?)
Clinton's tax returns are coming. (Today?)
The Note collects some of the Clinton superdelegates, Murtha, Corzine, O'Malley, Cantwell, setting conditions for a switch. ("If she doesn't win the popular vote...")
Politico has a piece on superdelegates afraid to take a side, fearful of blowback. (And these are the people the Clinton folks expect to overturn the pledged delegate lead.)
(LATimes) Obama cuts into Clinton's superdelegate lead
(WaPo) Clinton Camp Feels Spent, and Outspent
(NYTimes) 81% “things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track.”
And, the WSJBlog has been running little contrasting bio bits about McCain against his bio tour. First it was his fling with a Brazilian model.
Today it's his time dating a stripper known as the "Flame of Florida." While they were dating, he took her to a staid gathering of married couples where she "withdrew a switchblade, popped open the blade, and, with a look of complete indifference, began to clean her fingernails.”
(Of course, things were different in the 50's.....)

Hillary's joke on Leno, reminds me of Bush's mocker of WMD as he "searches" under his desk.... Remember that?

this Penn/Columbian Trade Agreement is ugly. how can she spin this? Most reasonable people will think that Columbia working with Penn is in hopes to get favorable treatment in an hrc admin...and she allowed it? of course she will likely say she didn't know which is really worse seeing it is her #1 campaign strategist...

No. I know Hillary's sniper isn't nearly as bad as Bush's perverse WMD "joke." You understood where I was going, I just want to clarify I wasn't putting them on the same level... just in the same genre.

Anon, Especially because it's coming ahead of the Pa primary.
But I think as importantly, it shows Penn looking towards his life after this campaign. (not in the white house.).
....
Yeah, I got it. I got where you were.
But as host here, sometimes I feel obliged to cover in case not everyone knows.
