Marco Rubio of Florida...Tags: Parties and Movements, George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, State of the Union Address, U.S. Senate

Hillary Clinton's dodgy testimony
Jonah GoldbergA lot of people in Washington apparently forgot how good Hillary Clinton is at not telling the truth. Wednesday, in her testimony before both the Senate and, later, the House, Clinton brilliantly fudged, dodged and filibustered. Of course, she's a pro....Tags: Jay Carney, U.S. Senate, White House, Ron Johnson, Unrest, Conflicts and War
