U got that right Sully! Along with Sen. Robert Bennett, a Utah Republican, she has introduced a bill that would make flag burning illegal. It is probably important to note that this is not a proposed constitutional amendment, and it is written in a cutesy way that does not explicitly outlaw all flag burnings -- just those intended to "intimidate any person or group of persons." That's a distinction without a difference to your average police officer. Not many cops belong to the ACLU. The ubiquitous Larry Sabato, the University of Virginia quotemeister -- need a quote/do not tarry/call U-Va. and ask for Larry -- opines that Clinton is readying herself for a presidential run by adjusting her tint, toning down the blue and heightening the red. He fancies that Virginia Gov. Mark Warner's incipient presidential campaign is already pushing Clinton to the center. A New York Times editorial reached a similar conclusion. It suggested that she was "pandering" to the 70 percent of Americans who think outlawing flag burning is a dandy idea. Well, maybe so and maybe not. It's clear that Clinton is going to have to modify her image if she's really serious about running for president. (She is, by the way.) At the moment, key interest groups rate her pretty much as they do the Senate's most recognizable liberal, Ted Kennedy. What's more, she is the semi-official banshee of right-wing fantasies, the insidious wife of the sumptuously immoral Bill Clinton and the pillow-talkie architect of that Bolshie health care plan of some years back. Already, at least nine venomous books have been done on her. I would not be surprised if even now someone at Fox News is working on a book about "How Hillary Stole Christmas." washingtonpost.com
