person under the age of 50, for starters, and than any person who did NOT follow the media vs the Clinton's closely and carefully in real time and who didnt have some PRE Clinton era experience.

She CANT say the media did it's job because that would be pessimistic and that isnt going to play well.

She could point out the difference between the media Watergate era and beginning with her and her husband's era, but that ALSO would be seen as sour grapes.

Jon Schwarz, the author of this piece looks like a nice, intelligent young to middle aged man. A young man who knows relatively little about all this compared to the Clinton's or for that matter some of us who have lived through much of this including those few of us who remember Watergate.

Just sayin...
