A lifetime ago, in the context of this primary season, there was an interview on NBC's "Today Show".  Mrs. Clinton was politely asked about her and her husband's past dealings with fugitives and felons, foreign and domestic and about the "vetting" process in general.

Unless you live in one of the states, territories involved in a contest at the front of the schedule, this may have gone unnoticed:

"I don't worry about that because I think we're putting together a coalition of Democrats, independents, even Republicans who are very much disappointed with the policies of the Bush administration and the approaches taken by the Republican candidates," Mrs. Clinton told NBC. "In fact, we know that whomever is nominated by our party will be subjected to the same kind of withering attacks, but what is great is that those attacks are so old. It doesn't reflect what's happening in our country today.""

Really, Mrs. Clinton?
