Grapevine: Hillary Clinton has a memory slip about opponent
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine…
Conditioned Response
Hillary Clinton didn't even have to think about it -- before criticizing Republicans -- for not having any women in the presidential campaign.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Just one obvious problem with that line of reasoning, however.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
HILLARY CLINTON: This is not complicated, folks. Those guys on the other side - and by the way they are all guys, the last time I checked. No, no, there's one woman. Sorry, there's one woman, I forgot.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}(END VIDEO CLIP)
It is worth noting Clinton is the only female candidate on the Democratic side.
Twitter reacted --quote--
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"One.The same number of women running on the Democrat side."
"Dems' presidential field also all guys -- by the way and one woman. P.S. all white."
And --
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"Isn't it remarkable? All that sexism blather and the Dems have the same number of female POTUS candidates."
Flag Flap
City officials in Reno, Nevada are falling all over themselves today --over the removal of the American flag flying over City Hall -- in favor of an LGBT flag.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}It was raised in celebration of Gay Pride Weekend.
The flags were supposed to fly together Sunday.
Reno mayor Hillary Schieve posted on social media -- quote--
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I did not order that the American flag be taken down. I have asked that the flag be put back immediately!"
The American flag was back up -- by late evening.
Selfie Indulgence
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}And finally-- a dangerous and expensive selfie.
A San Diego man tried to take a self-portrait -- with a rattlesnake -- but the snake had other ideas.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Todd Fassler: My tongue was sticking out of my mouth, my eyes droped to the side.

Doctors depleted the supply of anti-venom from two different hospitals treating Todd Fassler.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}KGTV reports all he has to show for the encounter -- is a $150,000 hospital bill.
