Not a good headline
I suppose it's time to remind everyone: Sex adjectives do not belong in Clinton headlines.

Someone should tell Clinton the same thing for his book tour. During his interview with Dan Rather, I vaguely remember Clinton (when talking about what it was like breaking the news to Hillary) that "it was a big load [for her] to swallow."
He might not have said "load," but he certainly didn't say "pill."
I just remembered: he said "dose."
"It was a big dose for her to swallow."
The FCC is investigating.
And the quote about the impeachment hearings:
"I don't see it as a stain, because it was illegitimate."
