An embarassing detail from the very first paragraph of an article in today’s Times:

When the World Trade Center was attacked for the first time on Feb. 26, 1993, President Bill Clinton flew to New York to be briefed on the attack and the response by city, state and federal authorities. According to newly released White House calendars of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s time as first lady, Mrs. Clinton stayed behind in Washington to attend a photo shoot with Parade magazine and a performance of “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

It’s shameful that this experience thing has gained any traction. Being married to someone who does a job does not qualify you to do it also.
