Paul Bedard's Washington Whispers column at US News has this gem:
Driving Ms. HillaryI'm not holding my breath for the NY Times to create a big "out of touch" fiesta out of this, just like they did with the completely bogus story in 1992 about the then President Bush and the supermarket scanner.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is a lot of things, but Dale Earnhardt Jr. she's not. Clinton last week attended the Capitol Hill rollout of General Motors' hydrogen-fueled prototype. But unlike other lawmakers, she begged off an invitation to drive the minivan. It seemed odd that she'd pass up some environmentally correct TV exposure, until GM Veep Beth Lowery told us why: The former first lady fessed up that it's been at least seven years since she last drove and this wasn't the time to start.
