I trust you read our story on the Clintons today. You'll have noted we weren't able to advance it much beyond what I blogged earlier in the week.

Once our story hit the paper, I alerted Rik Stevens, The Associated Press' news editor in Albany, to see if AP would have better luck tracking it down.

AP had already seen the story and was on the case.

This afternoon, Rik wrote back to alert us that Hillary's spokesman said the "Clintons moving to Woodstock" rumors were false.

That puts it to bed, I guess.

But the Clintons sure could have saved us and others plenty of time had they denied the rumors from the start.
