CNN Planted Final Debate Question For Hillary

So now we find out that suspicious final cutsie softball question lobbed to Hillary Clinton in last night's presidential debate ("Do you prefer diamonds or pearls?") from an audience member was actually scripted in advance by CNN. What's worse, though, was the canned response the tipped-off-in-advance looking Clinton had ready ("Now I know I'm sometimes accused of not being able to make a choice. I want both!"). Facilitating scripted questions from the audience is one thing. But was Clinton in on the scripting, as well? It sure looked that way.
