The Washington Times, in an uncharacteristic spasm of leftist sentimentalism, has figured out a way to use the word "Hillary" w/52 of the word "bankrupt." The link is Hillary (Clinton's) ne'er-do-well brother Anthony D. Rodham, alleged to have received $107,000 from the bankruptcy estate of a "carnival outfit" with which he was once associated. The trustee says the payments are unpaid loans; Rodham says they were compensation for services rendered.
Naifs may see this as a crude effort to efame Hillary by association. But sophisticated journalists, such as the editors of the Washington Times, understand that having a ne'er-do-well sibling only adds luster to a politicians reputation: s/he is human, s/he is one of us. The ne'er-do-well sibling lobby is vast and pervasive. Senior strategists at Times have obviously figured out that if ever a candidate deserves humanizing it is the White Sheep of the Rodham family. There's a pattern here. Jimmy Carter had Billy, Bill Clinton had Roger, and Jeb Bush had W. Oh, wait...
