Is she STONED?


From the AP:
     Hillary Rodham Clinton, her future far from carved in stone, paid a visit to the famed Mount Rushmore monument Wednesday.

     Campaigning in South Dakota before the state's June 3 Democratic presidential primary, Clinton bundled up against chilly temperatures to walk through the monument and listen as a national park ranger described the history of the mountainside chiseled with the visages of Presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt.

     Trailing rival Barack Obama among delegates with just three primaries left in the calendar, Clinton has little chance of securing the nomination. Perhaps mindful of the odds, the former first lady carefully avoided questions about whether she or former President Clinton might be added to the monument one day.

     "Why don't you go learn something about the monument?" she told reporters, laughing.

     In a CBS News web post by Fernando Suarez, Senator Clinton claimed that she was picked to beat Sen. John McCain "in every poll".

     Not even close, of course.

     Good thing someone took this picture, because that's an image that will never be carved in stone.
