McHughitis

HRC's people are very eager to point out that, you know, REALLY: THEY DID NOT CANCEL THE PRESS CONFERENCE BECAUSE OF OBAMA. No, THIS IS THE TRUTH: Rep. McHugh was sick. And he's a Republican, which means they sort of needed him if they were going to do the anti-war dance that was rumored to take place at today's canceled event.

Also, the dog ate their Iraq report.

Just kidding: What's sad about the Clinton camp's spinning is that is probably true. Just also very, very lucky.

A colleague has demanded the McHugh lab reports from the Clinton folks; I suspect they're filed right next to the Rose Law Firm records.
