SENATOR Hillary Clinton kept her counsel during her first two years in the United States Senate, learning the ropes and avoiding more controversy than a controversial former First Lady-turned-politician in her own right was likely to face. Since then, and particularly since last year's election, she has begun to speak out, signalling her determination to lead the debate over the future of the Democratic party and use that as a stepping stone towards winning the party's 2008 presidential nomination. Her efforts have been so successful that she is now the immovable obstacle any rival candidate for the presidency must manoeuvre...

Like the architect, the portraitist may also include an inside joke, which is his hedge against the sycophancy that comes with patronage.  Hence, we have missus clinton's anatomically correct porcine nose immersed in otherwise barely recognizable airbrushed fluff. missus clinton's anatomically correct porcine nose is at once the requisite benignly unattractive feature and the inside joke, for it...

Boys and girls, at this very minute, the GOP is getting ripped, and I'm not just talking about Arnold's candidacy out in California. Gray Davis is so dead in the water that simple mudslinging attacks on Arnold Schwarzenegger can't prevent his being buried. He's called in the aid of Slick and the Witch. He's called in Terry McAwful. He even called in Al Gore, though that could have worked the opposite of what he was aiming for.

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton sounded less emphatic on Thursday about not running for president in 2004, saying that while she doesn't currently intend to challenge President Bush next year, she can't be more definitive about her plans. In London to promote her memoir "Living History," Mrs. Clinton was asked by BBC "Woman's Hour" host Martha Kearney if her often repeated denials that she had "no intention" of running for the White House truly ruled out a presidential bid "at some future point." Mrs. Clinton responded, "Well, but it is as close as I can come. Because I have no...
