In a week that has seen an amazing assortment of charges thrown at Sarah Palin, it occurs to me that the Democrat's natural attack dog should be Hillary Clinton.
A Google search with the terms - Hillary Attacks Palin - reveals many pleas for Hillary Clinton to do so, but precious little otherwise.
Is Hillary playing the waiting game? Perhaps she is holding her fire for the inevitable Clinton/Palin clash of 2012?

Barack Obama offers his best argument against a Democratic Congress.
Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden said yesterday that he and running mate Barack Obama could pursue criminal charges against the Bush administration if they are elected in November.
I wonder if these highly educated politicians have ever heard of Marius or Sulla?
Dave Winer, in full throated roar (and not a little panic) regarding Sarah Palin, remembers the injustice that he was facing the draft in 1972 yet unable to vote. Of course, since he was born in 1955, he missed being eligible for the draft by two years. Some things are simply seared into the brain. Even if they never happened.
Update: Winer has deleted the comments pointing out his space-time incongruity. Look for him to drop the whole issue into the memory hole. Screen capture is safely stored.
