Its mentioned by people more than it is in the papers (because its not like there's any new news about it so what is there to write?) However, and maybe this is because I talk mostly to wonks and election junkies, there seems to be more anger that the press brought the "caused by Muhammad video" lie and Obama used it against Romney in a debate than there is about whatever decisions Hillary Clinton had to make. Those folks would have found some other reason to hate her if Benghazi had not occurred. As to my opinion on the Times and Indie cartoons? Not actually reflective of the state of the race. Especially not the Times one, as Obama has pretty much stayed out of the race even though Hillary's policies are pretty much identical to his own and Sanders' are not.

Ah poo poo, you're right. The way it's drawn looked a bit like a double trigger like old shotguns, with the rest of the guard covered by his hand. I thought there was a 'clever' metaphor in there.

If anyone remembers John Major it isn't particularly favorably (the financial meltdown tied to Europe being the strike against him that wasn't everyone of his cabinet loving someone they shouldn't).
