Who is Hillary Clinton? And why do so many people love to hate her? "This American Life" contributor Jack Hitt looks at Hillary in the current issue of Mother Jones magazine. We talk with him about why Hillary makes Americans' blood boil -- and what that says about us.
Also, we ask Media Matters' Eric Boehlert if the press is prepared to ask the tough questions during the 2008 presidential race. And we speak with Iraq war veteran Josh Rushing, one of the new correspondents for Al Jazeera's English-language channel.
Plus, we speak with Montana governor Brian Schweitzer, a pro-gun, pro-death penalty Democrat who has been hailed as an up-and-coming leader of the party. Finally, we speak with Women's Funding Network president Chris Grumm about how the organization's projects make a difference in the life of women and girls.
