Line o' the day: Keep your head on a swivel, Nancy Benac

 
Gateway Pundit wins our oh-so-prestigious Line o' the Day award.

Nancy Benac of the Associated Press may want to sleep over at a friend's house tonight after this pieceon the Clintons...

In a presidential race where the Democratic candidates are competing as agents of change, Hillary Rodham Clinton's most reliable campaign prop is something of a political relic — her husband.

The former president was at her side to help put the best face on her third-place finish Thursday in Iowa, and he was beside her again when dawn broke the next day on the final push to Tuesday's New Hampshire primary... "I was never more proud of Hillary in all the days we've been together and all the days of this campaign than when she gave that speech in Iowa," the ex-president told New Hampshire voters.

No loyal spouse would say any less.

..."Senator Clinton needs to make this campaign about her vision, her plans and her strengths," says Brazile... The candidate's husband, meanwhile, tends to ramble on about himself.

[and] since when did Bill Clinton become a "loyal spouse"?

Apparently, Nancy's never heard the term 'Arkancide' before.

In 1992, the LA Times reported:

[Clinton friend and state medical examiner Dr. Fahmy] Malak's controversial rulings include:

* ...On June 28, 1985, Raymond P. Allbright, 50, of Mountain Home was found in his yard dead of gunshot wounds. Allbright had been arrested the night before on charges of theft. Malak ruled his death a suicide.

But Allbright had been shot five times; all five shots were in the chest. The weapon was a high-powered pistol. "We think," says Maggie Hall, Allbright's ex-wife, "he was murdered..."

* ...On Aug. 23, 1987, Kevin Ives, 17, and Don Henry, 16, were run over by a train near the town of Alexander. They had been lying squarely on the tracks. Malak ruled that they had been smoking marijuana and dozed off and had slept as the onrushing freight train bore down.

But a second autopsy indicated that Henry had been stabbed in the back, that Ives had been struck on the skull and that both boys probably had been placed on the tracks unconscious, maybe already dead.

A grand jury overruled Malak: The boys had been murdered...

Keep your head on a swivel, Nancy.
