TWO NON-SCANDALS

The story that George Stephanopoulos was barring reporters from a talk at the University of Wisconsin is a non-story. His speaking agent put that clause in, and it’s perfectly plausible that George hadn’t read it. (I never read mine). Reporters will now be permitted. And Hillary Rodham Clinton’s extravagant New York office, at $500,000 a year in rent, isn’t quite as bad as it seems either. Her predecessor’s office, according to the Washington Post, now rents for $627,000. And she’ll have her hands full. So give her a pass on this one. If it’s not worth the price, her constituents will surely find a way to let her know.
