I swear Hillary is floating this as a trial balloon - it’s a distraction from her record and policies, and an attempt to make her a victim.

That would be the classic Clintoon approach.

By the time November 2008 rolls around her media apologists will have received the talking point faxes; “It’s old news.” They will say over and over again.

Yep, it’s a setup. Don’t touch it, just leave it be. This will blow up right in your faces.

I don’t know that being a victim in a time of terrorism is so good, if you want to be President.

She’s in a pickle. People don’t like people like her. She can not be weak, or a victim. She can not come across as strong, and ..um..bullish. She can not be second to Bill (been there, done that, got the impeachment) So what is she? Michael Dukakis in drag?

IT'S A TRAP!

I too am suspicious of a Clintonian trap, here.

Recall the rumors of an illegitimate child fathered by Impeached and Disbarred Former President Bill Clinton? As I recall, they turned out to be provably false... thus giving impeached and disbarred Clinton the all-important plausible deniability for his other (credible) sex debauchery and harassment scandals.

The fact that the LAT is allegedly involved makes this potential "news" story just plain untouchable.

Consider the sources carefully.

Hillary's association with Saul Alinsky and other Marxists and Lennonists during her formative years is a much bigger (and nicely documented) story.

The Clinton marriage is such a long-running farce and the rumors are so long-running that most of those who either love her or hate her would simply yawn.

Deviancy has been defined way, way down.

But sex scandals have been invaluable to dems as it takes the attention off their REAL wrongdoings and shortcomings.

I agree. I think this is being floated to distract too. BUT, I think it is being floated to distract from Arthur Turco.

There were rumors that came up when she was running for Senate that she was romantically involved with Arthur Turco.

Arthur Turco was the New York City based leader of a group called THE PATRIOTS in 1969. THE PATRIOTS were allied with THE BLACK PANTHERS and a Puerto Rican group called THE YOUNG LORDS

Maybe there is proof that she was romantically involved?

And by admitting to Huma, it distracts from the affair with Turco.
