It’s hard to keep up with Hillary Clinton these days. Whether it’s one of her greater fundraisers turning out to be a nut and crook, or reportedly getting secret advice on being commander and chief from President Bush.
But this story doesn’t surprise me at all:
“Early this summer, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton‚Äôs campaign for president learned that the men‚Äôs magazine GQ was working on a story the campaign was sure to hate: an account of infighting in Hillaryland.
So Clinton’s aides pulled a page from the book of Hollywood publicists and offered GQ a stark choice: Kill the piece, or lose access to planned celebrity coverboy Bill Clinton.
Despite internal protests, GQ editor Jim Nelson met the Clinton campaign’s demands, which had been delivered by Bill Clinton’s spokesman, Jay Carson, several sources familiar with the conversations said.
GQ writer George Saunders traveled with Clinton to Africa in July, and Clinton is slated to appear on the cover of GQ’s December issue, in which it traditionally names a “Man of the Year,” according magazine industry sources.
And the offending article by Atlantic Monthly staff writer Josh Green got the spike.”
My, my what a busy girl she is. It’s no surprise that the Clinton machine moves quickly. But the story about the infighting within the campaign did get out as I covered here.
I am sure that more of these stories will continue to leak out as the months unfold. It’s not the mid 90s and as good as the Clinton spin machine is it simply can’t keep up with it all. Could it be that her house of cards may collaspe after all?
We’ll see.

2Hiliary’s campaign, using the quid pro quo of the Clinton story, made the linkage an arguably in-kind donation.
This raises the question as to whether all moneys going to Bill Clinton for appearances are really in-kind donations to the Hiliary Clinton campaign.
