The Week

When few Democrats wanted Bill Clinton to campaign for them, he left the country. The first known case of the sinking ship leaving the rats.

Newsweek recently reported that Hillary Clinton is, as she puts it, “an old-fashioned Methodist.” Recounting her spiritual journey, Mrs. Clinton told Newsweek that at Wellesley she read the Methodist magazine, Motive; she remembered best “an article by a Methodist theologian, Carl Oglesby,” opposing the Vietnam War. Trouble is, Carl Oglesby wasn’t a theologian at all, but president of the radical Students for a Democratic Society. Who knows what she mistook for the hymn book.
