Hillary Hopes You've
Forgotten - Have You?
From Diane Rigali

- Hillary Clinton has been telling America
that she is the most qualified candidate for president based on
her "record," which she says includes her eight years in the
White House as First Lady - or "co-president" - and her seven
years in the Senate. Here is a reminder of what that record
includes:
-
- HILLARY, As First Lady, assumed authority
over Health Care Reform, a process that cost the taxpayers over
$13 million. She told both Bill Bradley and Pat Moynahan, key
votes were needed to pass her legislation, that she would
"demonize "anyone who opposed it. But it was opposed; she
couldn't even get it to a vote in a Congress controlled by her
own party. (And in the next election, her party lost control of
both the House and Senate.)
-
-
- HILLARY assumed authority over selecting a
female Attorney General. Her first two recommendations (Zoe
Baird and Kimba Wood) were forced to withdraw their names from
consideration, and then she chose Janet Reno. Janet Reno has
since been described by Bill himself as "my worst mistake."
-
- HILLARY recommended Lani Guanier for head of
the Civil Rights Commission. When Guanier's radical views became
known, her name had to be withdrawn.
-
- HILLARY recommended her former law partners,
Web Hubbell, Vince Foster, and William Kennedy for positions in
the Justice Department, White House staff, and the Treasury,
respectively. Hubbell was later imprisoned, Foster committed
suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.
-
- HILLARY also recommended a close friend of
the Clintons, Craig Livingstone, for the position of director of
White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the
improper access of up to 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies
(Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff,
both Hillary and her husband denied knowing him. (FBI agent
Dennis Sculimbrene confirmed in a Senate Judiciary Committee in
1996 both the drug use and Hillary's involvement in hiring
Livingstone. After that, the FBI closed its White House Liaison
Office, after serving seven presidents for over thirty years.)
-
- HILLARY, in order to open "slots" in the
White House for her friends the Harry Thomasons (to whom
millions of dollars in travel contracts could be awarded), had
the entire staff of the White House Travel Office fired. They
were reported to the FBI for "gross mismanagement" and their
reputations ruined. After a thirty-month investigation, only
one, Billy Dale, was charged with a crime - mixing personal
money with White House funds when he cashed checks. The jury
acquitted him in less than two hours.
-
-
- HILLARY also assumed the duty of directing
the "bimbo eruption squad" and scandal defense:
-
-
- ...She urged her husband not to settle the
Paula Jones lawsuit.
-
-
- ...She refused to release the Whitewater
documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special
Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was
spent, Starr's investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led
to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.
-
-
- ...Then they had to settle with Paula Jones
after all.
-
-
- ...And Bill lost his law license for lying
to the grand jury.
-
-
- ...And Bill was impeached by the House.
-
-
- ...And Hillary almost got herself indicted
for perjury and obstruction of justice (she avoided it mostly
because she repeated, "I do not recall," "I have no
recollection," and "I don't know" 56 times under oath).
-
-
- HILLARY accepted the traditional First
Lady's role of decorator of the White House at Christmas, but in
a unique Hillary way. In 1994, for example, The First Lady's
Tree in the Blue Room (the focal point each year) was Decorated
with drug paraphernalia, sex toys, and pornographic ornaments,
all personally approved by Hillary as the invited artists'
depictions of the theme, "The Twelve Days of Christmas."
-
- HILLARY wrote "It Takes a Village,"
demonstrating her socialist viewpoint.
-
- HILLARY decided to seek election to the
Senate in a state she had never lived in. Her husband pardoned
FALN terrorists in order to get Latino support and the New
Square Hassidim to get Jewish support. Hillary also had Bill
pardon her brother's clients, for a small fee, to get financial
support.
-
- HILLARY then left the White House, but later
had to return $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and
artwork she had stolen.
-
- HILLARY played the "woman card" in the
campaign for the Senate, by portraying her opponent (Lazio) as a
bully picking on her.
-
-
- HILLARY'S husband further protected her by
asking the National Archives to withhold from the public until
2012 many records of their time in the White House, including
much of Hillary's correspondence and her calendars. (There are
ongoing lawsuits to force the release of those records.)
-
- HILLARY, as the junior Senator from New York
, passed no major legislation. She has deferred to the senior
Senator (Schumer) to tend to the needs of New Yorkers, even on
the hot issue of medical problems of workers involved in the
cleanup of Ground Zero after 9/11.
-
-
- Quite a resume, isn't it? Sounds more like
an organized crime family.
