Will Ebbers Verdict Hurt Hillary?

A jury has rejected Bernie Ebber's effort to distance himself from rampant fraud with the claim that he didn't know what his subordinates were doing. Does the jury's verdict indicate a general attitude among Americans that they will not stand for leaders who claim to be responsible for everything good that happens while pleading ignorance whenever corruption is revealed?

During the 90s, her eager cheerleaders in the news media earned their "D" monograms with the megaphone by refusing to hold her responsible for an appalling number of scandals. By 2008, the changing information structure will make that impossible. I expect her to base her campaign on the claim she was co-president with Bill. Will she get away with claiming credit without responsibility? The Ebbers verdict makes it less likely.
