Why, people keep asking me, is my boss Rupert Murdoch hosting a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton? Here’s my answer: Rupert’s fundraiser is for Hillary’s Senate campaign — and as far as I’m concerned, she should live and be well and have a long and happy career in the Senate. As long as she is a member of the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body, she won’t be in the White House. As far as New York goes, it might as well be Hillary as anybody else representing us in the Senate, since the odds of a Republican ever again being elected to statewide office here are about as good as the possibility that Katherine McPhee will survive tonight’s results show and make it to the next round of American Idol.
