Ha ha, it turns out that Hillary Clinton even lies with her lying about her harrowing overseas adventures. First she says she once ran screaming through the streets of Tuzla smeared with the blood of Bosnian snipers as she singlehandedly brought peace to Northern Ireland; then she says she was the first president's wife to visit a war zone since Eleanor Roosevelt.

Senator Mitch McConnell is ruining the reputations of three University of Louisville physicians by providing video evidence that they said nice things about him, once. The victims of McConnell’s smear campaign were taped saying things like “I think Senator McConnell is very interested in the health and welfare of the people in the state of Kentucky.” And, for a few brief weeks in December and January, McConnell was showing this garbage on the teevee.

Whatever you may or may not think about The New York Times’ Deborah Solomon and her Q&A magazine column, she certainly tries to pin down her subject. In last weekend’s column, she cornered former Disney honcho Michael Eisner and briefly drilled him on politics. The result? Eisner comes off looking like an ass-kissing, dodgy asshat.

Here’s a shamless plug (the very best kind): I’ll be debating National Review’s Jonah Goldberg tonight at D.C.’s Heritage Foundation tonight, on the very, very, very pressing issue of whether libertarians and conservatives can, like Rodney King and the LAPD, get along in 
I’m Nick Gillespie, editor-in-chief of Reason, the libertarian monthly that has shown up in three out of four “The 50 Best Magazines” lists compiled by the Chicago Tribune, the “World’s Greatest Newspaper” (and who better to judge the Tribune than itself?). Reason is also recommended by four out of five dentists who walk and chew sugarless gum at the same time. Reason Online is online here, at http://reason.com.
