Bill Clinton’s Environmental Misdemeanor

In its piece on candidates wooing the Des Moines Register for its editorial endorsement, how pleasing to see that the Times led off with a description of Bill Clinton’s visit, stating: "as his sport utility vehicle idled outside, former President Bill Clinton held forth on a sofa in the publisher’s suite." Not just an s.u.v., but an s.u.v. left running. Kudos to Jeff Zeleny for reporting piggish behavior.
