Hillary Clinton Secretly Enlisted Feminist Writer Jessica Valenti to Carry Her Water in Branding Bernie Sanders as "Anti-Woman"

Call me old-fashioned, but my idea here is that if it's ethically sound to do something, it should not be a problem to confess it openly.

When you have to keep something secret, that's a pretty good sign it's unethical.

By the way, this is the same presidential candidate whose supporters are claiming she had nothing to do with her Political Renfield Sydney Blumenthal pushing the Birther story against Obama to the press.

As someone commented during that (briefly lived, media embargoed) controversy, this is how attacks are done within the party. Stealthily. With plausible deniability. You don't want to risk alienating voters you'll need later, so you secretly enlist toadies and throne-sniffers to carry your water.

But whatever, Blumenthal wasn't acting at Hillary's behest, just as Jessica Valenti wasn't.
