Only In ClintonWorld(tm)
Can a candidate mock the other candidate as being a plaigiarist ("Change you can Xerox"), then go on to plagiarize one of her husband's speechs - who, in turn, is an admitted plagiarist (http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/20/pastor-gratified-by-bill-clintons-use-of-his-line/).

And then supporters call her "gracious".

Feh.

3. you can get away with this stuff though
if the media supports you. In the same way Bush lied through the second debate about "fuzzy math" and the stories afterwards were about Gore's "lies". Thanks to the M$M you can lie at the same time you call your opponent a liar.

4. Olberman brought it up - actually referencing Edwards first.
Which I thought, on a whole, was quite like what she said, and more recent. I really thought there at the end she was being sincere - until a couple hours later when I heard about edwards' comment, then bill clinton's. My stomach just turned at that moment, and it thoroughly disgusted me.
