In the haystack of emails from then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that were dumped yesterday, one cryptic needle poked through. The subject line was simply “Gefilte fish” — and the entire body of the message held one mysterious question: “Where are we on this?”

2) Do they eat it in Iowa and/or New Hampshire?
3) Is it one word or two? Because I’m playing Words With Friends With Bibi — and I think he’s cheating.
4) I’m thinking “First Jewish President” has a nice ring to it.
5) For $100,000 Bill could give a speech on it.
6) I don’t know. Let’s ask Sidney Blumenthal.
