  Not a Planted Question, But ...

  Hillary definitely saw this one coming. Responding to Campbell Brown's question about whether she's been exploiting her role as a woman, she unleashed this threefer:
  

  "I’m not exploiting anything at all. I’m not playing the gender card … I’m playing the winning card. ... They’re not attacking me because I’m a woman, they’re attacking me because I’m ahead. ... As Truman said, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Well, I’m very comfortable in the kitchen."

  Sometimes, one zinger just isn't enough.
