    Telling that neither Clinton has mustered anything like Gingrich's forceful response.

    CNN, which was responsible for this moment, has no standing to duck pressing the Clintons on Bill's sordid history

    You're saying there's nothing to her piece but equivocation? (I read it once, won't make that mistake again.)
