Did the Washington Post take down, without explanation, a video of Dana Milbank and Chris Cillizza, in which Milbank suggested "Mad Bitch" beer for Hillary Clinton? And why is it always Hillary who comes in for these jibes? Never mind that she is a calm and professional secretary of state. She's still fodder.

Did the Washington Post break a rule of web publishing by taking down, without explanation, a video of Dana Milbank and Chris Cillizza in which Milbank suggested "Mad Bitch" beer as a good choice for Hillary? The link looks like it's dead [1]. Here too [2].
And larger question: Why is it always Hillary who comes in for these dumb bad jokes? Never mind that she is a calm and professional secretary of state. Never mind that I can't remember the last time she did something mad or bitchy. She's still fodder. Does she ever get to have a second act?
