So imagine you are Hillary Clinton and you get your pal Bar- bara Boxer to call this Yucca Mountain hearing Wednesday and then you see this in The Hill's online version later that day: "Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) skipped an Environment and Public Works Committee hearing Wednesday that she called for earlier this year ... " She was nowhere to be seen at Wednesday's hearing." Nowhere to be seen, that is, if you don't count being on the dais and asking questions and participating and ensuring she got enough sound bites to be transmitted back to Nevada, where she wants to win the Democratic caucus. Whoops. The Hill pulled the story shortly after the mistake was pointed out - probably by the Clinton folks!
