• Brian Ross and the ABC investigative unit discovered that Clinton may have been in the White House when Bill Clinton stained Monica Lewinsky's blue dress. [ABC News]
• Jason Zengerle sighs and says that with reports like the above, it's no wonder Clinton wanted to keep her records private. [Plank/New Republic]
• Glenn Greenwald excoriates the "sleazy" press (singling out Ross) for pressuring Clinton to release the schedules, and then using it to remind voters of the Lewinsky scandal. [Salon]
• Jake Tapper writes that, even though she opposes it now, Clinton spoke at a briefing in unequivocal support of NAFTA on November 10, 1993. [Political Punch/ABC News]
• Kenneth P. Vogel and Andrew Glass believe Clinton comes off as a traditional First Lady and not as much as a "co-president" in the schedules, giving her opponents a rebuttal against her claim to have gained presidential experience in the White House. [Politico]
• Susan Davis writes that Clinton's dispute with Sinbad over how dangerous their trip to Bosnia in 1996 was is unresolved by the schedule for that day. [Washington Wire/WSJ]
• Ari Berman thinks that despite her claims of being thoroughly vetted, the documents show there's much we still don't know about Clinton. [Nation]
• Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball look at the curious choices made in what information was redacted and what was kept in. One example: On March 9, 1995, Clinton took separate photos in the White House Map Room with both notorious fund-raiser Johnny Chung and the astronaut Eileen Collins. But in the schedules, Chung's name was blanked out for "privacy" reasons, while Collins's name was left in. [Newsweek]
• Chuck Todd and Mark Murray believe that despite the many redactions, the release of the schedules can help the Clinton campaign by giving them the appearance of transparency. [First Read/MSNBC] —Dan Amira
