The Pantsuit and Wal-Mart


Mrs. Clinton would clearly love to keep this hush-hush, and I'm surprised the New York Times is even mentioning it. Look at her sitting there with all those rich, middle-aged white white men! What about diversity?
Mrs. Clinton’s six-year tenure as a director of Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest company, remains a little known chapter in her closely scrutinized career. And it is little known for a reason. Mrs. Clinton rarely, if ever, discusses it, leaving her board membership out of her speeches and off her campaign Web site.
Closely scrutinized? The woman hasn't had to face a tough question in years, with virtually every intereview turning into a fawning, twinkie-munch session.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see her and her persons of hench playing the damage-control game after this report.

Maybe she can buy some guilt-relieving offsets to assuage the numbskulls who might consider voting for her.
