Cupid's Arrow Hits a Little Too Close to the Mark?

Hillary Clinton spoke on the telephone to the girlfriends of two reporters traveling with her today and apologized for monopolizing their boyfriends on Valentine's Day. Reporters could not hear the other end of the telephone conversations, only Clinton's.

Speaking to the girlfriend of Fernando Suarez, from CBS News, Clinton said, "Well, I would love to be Fernando’s second choice for Valentine’s Day." (One wonders if she may have more practice than most in playing that role...)

Then later on in that same telephone call, Clinton was overheard to say, "Well, I have something that just doesn’t go away either, it just hangs on and hangs on." She explained later that her remark concerned a lingering cold. To repeat, a cold. Not a certain tenacious Presidential candidate, or a certain former President.
