Walter Skold writes ""How The Clintons Wrapped Up Hillary's Thesis":

Reading the excellent and fascinating article on Hillary's senior college thesis shows it to be a benign, typical senior thesis, no raving manifest to communize the world....Many of her critics, who rightly castigated a college archives for participating in the cover up, will not like the facts.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems a little degrading that the entire country refers to this woman by her first name only. All other presidential candidates are usually refered to by last name or full name. I understand that refering to her as 'Clinton' leaves room for ambiguity, but we could at least call her 'Hillary Clinton'. I just feel that it is disrespectful and a bit sexist to call the only female presidential candidate by her first name, while calling every other candidate by last name or full name.

Bush's thesistinyurl.com> is for sale on Amazon. Hillary should be more open and follow suit.

Thanks for starting out my day with a literal "laugh out loud".

Her undergrad thesis? They should be able to find a lot better dirt on her than that -- they're just not trying hard enough.
(btw: concur completely about them using her first name)
