The problem with making a big deal about how much experience you have is that  eventually people will start to examine what that experience actually is.  This comes from today's Boston Globe:

Many members of Congress said they believe Hillary Clinton has a deep and sincere commitment to children's health issues. She has sponsored numerous bills and amendments dealing with a plethora of healthcare matters.

But privately, some lawmakers and staff members are fuming over what they see as Clinton's exaggeration of her role in developing SCHIP, including her campaign ads claiming she "helped create" the program. The irritation has grown since Nov. 1, when Clinton - along with fellow senators and presidential candidates Barack Obama, Chris Dodd, and John McCain - missed a Senate vote to extend the SCHIP program, which was approved without the votes of those lawmakers.

Yesterday, Time published a similar piece examining Hillary's claims at helping with the same health care bill, helping to bring peace to Northern Ireland, and negotiating open borders for Kosovar refugees.  In each instance, the conclusion is that Clinton has exaggerated the facts to make her role appear much larger than it actually was.

So why is it, again, that I should trust that Hillary's experience makes her more qualified to answer that red phone at 3 a.m .?
