Jim McLaughlin, a pollster for Fred Thompson, was asked this morning about the Larry Craig scandal. “I’d rather talk about Hillary Clinton,” he said.

McLaughlin then proceeded to do just that during an appearance on CNN, arguing that Democrats haven’t been more vocal about Craig’s problems because of the Clintons’ marital history.
