Who Cares? Ben Cares.
Earlier, I wondered whether the Clinton schedules really mattered, at least from a policy standpoint. Sure they may prove or disprove, to some slight degree, any experience gained by Hillary while in officio. The more likely result, it seems, is for silly stories to crop up, like the under-her-nose meme.
But Ben Smith deployed the records in a very interesting way when he presented the Clinton-Wright picture:
Hillary Clinton, according to her recently-released schedule for the day, was present at the gathering.Now I find this to be horribly clever, but again it raises the question of whether or not Hillary's presence really matters, especially given the reason for the breakfast, namely apologizing to the nation's clergy for the Starr report. Or does it stand to reason that Clinton can't have it both ways.

As far as I can tell, Hillary's not driving this story, but it's mostly coming from talk radio/television. Plus, being present at breakfast of religious leaders isn't really the same as having a twenty year relationship with anyone, so the comparison and the photo released by the Obama campaign (according to the NYTimes) are really beside the point.
