...asthmatic Rain Man. This song is so bad that you can actually hear Ludacris sigh in between gimmicky half-rhymes about “how good you look in them jeans.” What makes this failure even more of a shame is that there are a few decent songs on this album, songs that Ludacris obviously worked on and cared about, but which are ultimately lost in the garbage.

Fox chief Roger Ailes was, like most decent Americans, taken aback by Clinton’s “wild overreaction.” Ailes took a charitable view of the incident, characterizing it as “an assault on all journalists.” Yes, Clinton had wiles enough to center his attack on Fox News, striking...
