    Her publisher removed it from the book, and announced that, but it’s always important not to be recorded admitting you were full of shit. This way, it’s less efficient to use the soundbite against her. But HOLY SHIT that was awkward.

    As for the books, it’s basically a rite of passage in both parties for younger politicians with ambitions to put out a memoir/manifesto. It lays out how you want to be perceived and sort of announces, “I am a serious political figure.” Sometimes it goes REALLLLLY badly.

      Yeah I don’t mean to imply that both parties aren’t corrupt. The gop seems to just be better at it and therefore the Democrats are forced to have slightly more sane policies.

      I hate this.
