The bad news is that the seat we bloggers were supposed to have ... well, I don't. But I'm not alone. Thousands of us are standing in the concourse. I got as close as I could to the [...]
Bill Clinton proved that he can still do the job -- and that 24-hour TV stations have to gin up too much faux controversy. Clinton didn't boycot the event. He didn't pull punches. He didn't sound bitter. He gave a...
