Hillary, ‘Who the Hell Are You?’
Just who is this woman who is accepting a fundraiser thrown by Rupert Murdoch, asks columnist Richard Cohen in this incisive piece. Meanwhile, Hillary defends cozying up with the rabidly right-wing Murdoch: "He's my constituent." Oh, puh-leeze!

Your support is crucial…Washington Post:
I know a businessman who says that if the answer to a question is not about money, the question has to be restated. If that applied to politics, the answer to the question of who the Democratic presidential nominee will be in 2008 would be simple: Hillary Clinton. She has far and away the most money.
But politics is not just about money — not quite yet, anyway — if only because ideology and principles are not yet “products.” That being the case (I hope), then Hillary Clinton’s vast lead in fundraising — she now has more than $20 million in the bank — will be offset by growing questions about her principles and ideology. In other words, who is this woman who wants to be the next president of the United States? Is she the wife of Bill Clinton, who we were once led to believe was more liberal than he was, or is she actually far more conservative? The answer, at the moment, is something I cannot provide.
With an uncertain future and a new administration casting doubt on press freedoms, the danger is clear: The truth is at risk.

Playing on fears and stoking divisiveness is the president's go-to strategy, even as tensions build on a national and international level as a result of his rhetoric and direction.
The Republicans and Democrats are two faces of the same failure. And there will be no real hope of rescue by third parties until the American system of electoral politics is rebuilt from the ground up.
Nice try, but no cigar.
The current movement is not just toppling predators in high places: It is defying the core sickness and rigid hierarchy of corporate culture.
