...rallies of such importance. The decision again spotlit RAI 's troubled board, whose seats are traditionally divvied up among majority and opposition Members of Parliament. Only board president Antonio Baldassarre and another center-right loyalist remain. Three others quit in November to protest Baldassarre's leadership and alleged partisanship.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, even though neither of them is running for office this year, displayed an amazing gutlessness when it came time to vote on the resolution transfering the Senate’s Constitution-given powers to declare war to the most ignorant and arrogant president we’ve seen in a while.
