"One hundred days into her Senate career, Clinton has made the
unprecedented transformation from first lady to senator and emerged as
a blend of celebrity, worm going to be pretty New York-centric,' said
Clinton, who already has sponsored 20 Senate bills and amendments,
more than double that of any other freshman." [sic] -- CNN.com

This is newspoetry of a rare sort, from the fragmentation of
unbalanced quotations and the resulting ambiguity of attribution to
the enigmatic use of the word "worm".
