One thing is clear, however: Destiny is a classic example of how New York's junior senator has embraced old-fashioned pork-barrel politics, first to build power in the state, then to extend it nationwide as she becomes a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

And to fuel her rise, Clinton has relied on the controversial funding device known as "earmarking." The earmarks enabled her to win favor with important constituents, many of whom provided financial support for her campaigns

Not sure the LA Times would have run this story 6 months ago.
Me thinks that HRC has a problem now and the sharks smell blood.

1. just like the hit piece on Steny Hoyer in the WaPo

like the democrats are the only one with earmarks??

2. Aww, you just found out she's not Mother Teresa.

How shocking for you. Because a woman running for president should be saintly.

This kind of article being published on the male candidates? Got links to them?

3. Yep. And the LA Times, although fish wrap, is slightly less smelly

4. Yep. She's a fast learner. She learned how the D.C. game is played and played it...with the BIG BOYS

IF the earmark issue is their blood.....they better call in every emergency room physician in DC to help stop the bleeding because they ALL do it. Maybe not Dennis, but the rest DO.

5. $236 mllion in earmarks, and $1 million in kickbacks...er, campaign contribuitions?

How nice and cozy a relationship.
