18. The Clinton Rules in effect still

Excellent description. It's as bad as North Carolina gerrymandering when you try to figure out why up is down and down is up. Hillary will always be attacked and she'll never be permitted to defend herself.

But, it looks like the NYT has figured out how they word... they just can't explain why it's fair, nor can they explain the hypocrisy.

Here's the thing: If she's "silent" then they say it means she's "guilty". If she defends herself, they they say it proves she's "guilty". If she laughs it off and ridicules her accusers, they claim it means she has a "guilty-conscience".

If anyone comes to her aid (from the highest office to the lowly blogger or discussion-board participant) they are accused of being "complicit" or other such nonsense.
