STOP US BEFORE WE INVADE THEIR LIVES MORE: Richard Cohen is making a plea—stop us before we invade their lives more! What will happen if Hillary runs? The press will of course have no choice:

COHEN (8/11/05): The same holds for the other women associated with this [New York Senate] race—even more so if Hillary Clinton eventually runs for president. In effect, she will once again invite us to dissect her marriage and why she stays in it. She is clearly up to it—but why she is up to it is something many of us will never understand. The life of a politician, ever strange, is getting stranger and stranger.

Get that? If Hillary Clinton runs for the White House, she will be “inviting” the press “to dissect her marriage and why she stays in it.” Clinton is clearly up to doing this, Cohen says, wondering about her weird conduct.
