Hillary's health-care memos

Captains Quarters is reporting that the mainstream media have shown little interest in the publication of memos attached to Hillary Clinton's universal health care task force.

The most controversial excerpts thus far remind me of the type of thing for which the Bush administration has been criticized; that is, coordination between the White House and other agencies to promote something.

I had delayed comment since I like to refer to the original documents whenever possible. The confidential memo from Jay Rockefeller contains some interest because of its somewhat ruthless tone, but understood in terms of national politics it shouldn't be particularly shocking. Again, the most shocking thing might be that this type of memo would be big news about Bush's autocratic tendencies but can't even seem to elicit a yawn from the mainstream media.
