Ex Congressman Joe Scarborough has covered this story twice this week on his show at MSNBC. He's as angry about it as I am. M SCARBOROUGH: All right. Well, and I don‘t understand why you think that Senator Clinton should be exempted, when everybody else that speaks against this war, that attacks the president of the United States and has their comments broadcast across the Arab world, gets those reported in America.

I realize that anything one says in any newspaper may get into the Arabic press. But when the readers in the Arab world, likely including Iraq, know the statement has been made to an Arab newspaper, it seems to me that the perceived force of the statement would be magnified So, she wasn't abroad when she said it after all. Hmmm. I think everything after "anything may get into the Arabic press" is just too, too picky. If she had gone out of her way to solicit an Arab news source to trumpet some new news or given it a big-deal exclusive, I could see the argument. If she had made the statement on a trip to the ME, as I said yesterday, I could see the argument. Eugene Volokh effectively argues the case for why she completely deserves it.</i. Overreach. Nothing but.
