Some media outlets sink to new low in coverage of Sen. Hillary Clinton

I told a relative yesterday as we talked about the U.S. presidential election I figured Sen. Hillary Clinton had to scratch, claw and bite her way to the top. She's the first viable female candidate for a top executive position in American politics. As a female, I have to admire her for that. So what is it about some media outlets who come up with silly hooks for stories? Start with the Associated Press story about where Sen. Clinton was when her husband had trysts with Monica Lewinsky. Then segue to a discussion of Clinton's clothes in The Guardian. Why should Clinton be the only candidate subjected to this kind of silliness? Have you seen stories about Sen. Barack Obama's clothes or Sen. John McCain's clothes?
