Image is all.  Reality is negligible.  And it is Hillary Rodham Clinton’s overwhelming cynicism, together with her lack of confidence in the American public, that permits her to engage in such specious behaviors as fake Southern accents, stories about sniper fire that are made up from whole cloth, and wacky rationalizations put forth to justify a progressively weakening campaign.

I was scanning the newspaper and I came across a headline that seemed to catch me wrong.  It said something like:  "Clooney edges closer to Obama".  So let me get this straight:

George Clooney, who is an actor, apparently likes Obama and, this fact is not only news, but. . . .HEADLINE NEWS?!?

I mean. . . .WHO CARES?!?
