March 25th News Roundup: Other Stuff You Don't Want To Miss
 Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

The latest media attack on Hillary Clinton (you knew it was just a matter of time before the Obama/Rev. Wright incident was counteracted) is over statements Hillary Clinton made about her 1996 trip to Bosnia, where she claimed she'd come under sniper fire.  "So I made a mistake.  That happens.  It proves I'm human, which, you know, for some people, is a revelation."  CBS News claims to have "exposed" this story; although, you know, when a former First Lady who has traveled all over the world with cameras following mixes up trips, it isn't exactly a giant revelation, is it?

Wowza.  Not enough scandalous Congressmen for you?  Here you go:  assisted suicide advocate, convicted felon, and former Doctor Jack Kevorkian has announced that he is running for U.S. Congress this year.  He is 79 years old, has only voted once in his life, and spent over eight years in prison for second degree murder.  "If you want to have 10 pounds of marijuana in your house, why not?" he says.

An update from yesterday's News Roundup:  Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick pleads not guilty to perjury charges; he and his former chief of staff (whom he's accused of lying under oath over an affair with) have both proclaimed their innocence and were released on $75,000 bail each.  Here's a question:  why do politicians have so much money to throw around?  Public servants, my arse!
