Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was in Gorham, New Hampshire yesterday, celebrating the 4th of July at a parade in the lovely New England town. The herd of press following her threatened to obstruct the view of the parade watchers, so the Clinton campaign employed ropes to keep the herd boxed out of Ms. Clinton's space and to keep the public's views of the candidate unobstructed. The press engaged in some grousing, of course, because 1) that's what they do, 2) it kept them from asking important questions like, "what about Benghazi, BENGAZHI, BENGHAZI!", and 3) they dislike Ms. Clinton intensely. Nevertheless, despite the superficial "optics" that the press will harp on for days, it was delicious to see them corralled for a change. (ed. -- Isn't that NBC's Kelly O'Donnell on the far right of the picture, strolling inside the rope line? The press is being abused!!)
UPDATE: Let the whining continue!
