“Pores” is right.
“Grafs” is not.

Could the “news media” be anymore obsequious to Mrs Bill Clinton?
Patetic, simply, pathetic that any supposed “Journalist” would pen this level of total drivel.

You have the writer dead to rights on ‘grafs’, but miss on ‘pours’. One ‘pores’ over something which one is studying closely.

That’s just the press showing off what a leftist education gets you.

I could be wrong, but shouldn't pores be "pours" and grafs be "graphs"? Graphs is correct but there was a recent discussion about pours/pores. I believe the people who know more about English than I do decided that pores was correct. I may be wrong, it's happened before.

It was a small-enough incident.
But now I’ll sleep well at night knowing Hilary understands the NH Law Enforcement chain-of-command.

All I have to go on is that “pores” was the way I have always seen it written.
Could be a generational thing. It always used to be: “toe the line” now it’s “tow the line.”
In journalism it use to be “lead” now it’s “lede.”

One pores over something which one is studying closely. On the other hand, if you want to pore over something that's wet, you'd first need to pour some liquid over it. :=)

Hillary has like 150 campaign offices. She was probably not even told about this until it was over. She had ZERO to do with the outcome.

I was in a Chinese restaurant Friday night picking up dinner and this was on the TV.
Some guy quipped “I wonder how much she paid him!”
The whole place burst out laughing!

In journalism it use to be lead now its lede. IIRC, it's been 'lede' in the newspaper business for a very long time.
Similarly, 'grafs' is a newspaper slang term for 'paragraphs'.

I think she was very calm as well, amazingly so, considering the excitement and glee she must have experienced in knowing she would get some free press. Not to mention the opportunity to show how SHE would handle a crisis situation, when faced with terrorism. If the hostage situation would have continued I am sure she could have borrowed Janet Reno’s play book.
