In Brief
May 4th, 2007Briefly: Indiana University concluded in a recent study that Bill O’Reilly insults someone every seven seconds in his opening editorial.
I wonder what such a study of my blog would decide? but I confess: I’m not as interested in that as this.
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton proposed Thursday that Congress repeal the authority it gave President Bush in 2002 to invade Iraq, injecting presidential politics into the Congressional debate over financing the war. Mrs. Clinton’s proposal brings her full circle on Iraq — she supported the war measure five years ago — and it sharpens her own political positioning at a time when Democrats are vying to confront the White House.
I wouldn’t vote for it (I doubt most would) but it’s an interesting bit of political posturing, that’s for sure, and it’s one that either Bill Clinton or Dick Morris must be behind.
