It really is curious why they would do this story now when it has not been in the news since the Rosen acquittal.
Pardon my cynicism, but I believe this to be part of an orchestrated program by the MSM, along with the "Commander in Chief" series, to advance Hilary's candidacy. This article will most likely be a vehicle to get this info out, with HIlary's excuses highlighted and everything else discounted as "old news". Also, with all the mud being slung at the Bush administration and DeLay as being corrupt, there will be a suggestion that the Republicans are much worse than she.
I will gladly eat my hat if there is anything detrimental to Hilary in the Compost's story.
