But poor Jon Stewart has returned to 2015 only to find the news cycle has already moved on to 2016 (or backward to 1992) with a Clinton vs. Bush race for the White House. Better endorse someone!

Gaskillionaire Warren Buffett said today that Hillary Clinton will win the 2016 presidential race, and that he'll "bet money on it." I'll take that bet, if someone can spot me a few bucks.

Hamilton Nolan · 06/17/14 10:24AM

America has treated the Clinton family pretty well. They've become millionaires many times over. But a new report says that even as they support policies to tax the estates of the extreme wealthy, they try to avoid those taxes on their own wealth.

You'll Never Guess Hillary Clinton's Favorite Book

Hamilton Nolan · 06/16/14 08:17AM

Some people like Hillary Clinton. Other people dislike Hillary Clinton. However you feel about Hillary Clinton, it is difficult to deny that she is one of the most cold and calculating political figures in all the land.

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign — or book tour, whatever — kicked off this week with a Diane Sawyer interview and a Hard Choices signing at the Union Square Barnes & Noble.

J.K. Trotter · 05/15/14 11:50AM

It’s no secret that Internet headline generator Matt Drudge is obsessed, much like the rest of Washington’s press corps, with ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: Her ambition, her hatred of the press, her age. It’s no secret, either, that Clinton is 66 years old. So why is Drudge depicting Clinton with a bizarre Photoshop of a 16th-century painting?

What Is Wrong With Karl Rove?

Adam Weinstein · 05/13/14 12:35PM

Karl Rove is smart. A cynical master of dark arts, sure, but clever about it in a self-interested way that this current crop of inept kamikaze conservatives isn't. Which is why it's weird to watch him degenerate into another conspiracy whisperer. Has he had a serious health episode?

1) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton secures an agreement from Russia to buy $3.7 billion worth of Boeing aircraft. Boeing 2) donates $900,000 to the William J. Clinton Foundation, and Boeing's top lobbyist 3) holds a fundraiser for Hillary's presidential super PAC. What a country!
