Is this old news?

I am no fan of Clinton, but I was taken a back by this http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2006/11/would-hillary-make-good-president.html

Is that old news?

Has anyone seen the Peter Paul/Hillary video on YouTube (called "Hillary Clinton Scandal 1/2")? How come the media has not commented on this?

Because it's baseless. Listen carefully and notice that aside from the narration there's absolutely nothing that shows Hillary condoned or even knew about the illegal contributions (I'm always surprised at how much Cher is worth these days). At least one commenter was the managing prosecutor of the Clinton impeachment trial. The recording or the conference call with fundraisers doesn't even indicate she was talking about the illegal fundraising.

The lawsuit is against a Clinton staff fundraiser who was involved in it. Sure, that's a Scooter Libby defense, but whatever actual evidence of misconduct there is sure isn't in either of those videos.

Myself, I'm sure she's knowingly or should-have-knowingly crossed plenty of lines. But this video shows exactly nothing but Hillary-smearing. I'm sure the Republicans will make hay of it, though.
