School for Scandal.

You ain't seen nothing

Even the New York Times has joined the long list of Democratic Party muck-a-mucks who are dissing Hillary Clinton.  The stated reason for her disfavor among the moobat left, who control the party, is her refusal to disavow her Iraq vote. Horse Hockey.  Like husband Bill in 1992, Democrats are scared to death about what scandals a presidential candidate Hillary would be forced to deal with.  People I think forget that the Donk machine fought tooth and nail to deny Bill Clinton's nomination in 1992 for the same reason.   Even after he had locked up the nomination with primary wins, the "Stop Bill" movement persisted. Finally, DNC Chairman Ron Brown smacked his gavel, and laid down the law. "Bill Clinton will be our nominee. Get used to it." What scared Democrats than was he was a known whoremaster, his wife's involvement in shady Arkansas land and bank deals (made public by Paul Tsongas, and Jerry Brown), his appropriation of State Teacher Retirement funds, and a host of other problems. In order to save his candidacy, the media simply slammed the information stream shut, Fox News then being in a state of gestation. Today Bill Hillyer lists some of Hillary's problems in Hillary's Real School for Scandal.  They dwarf what Bill faced 13years ago. Cattle Futures. Hillary made a $100,000 windfall on a $1,000 investment in risky cattle futures, in trades that appear to have been backdated for just that purpose. Whitewater. If Whitewater wasn't a scandal, why did so many people go to jail for it? The fact remains that a host of senior citizens lost their retirement nest eggs, and taxpayers were put on the hook for a bank failure while the Clintons skated without apparent financial loss. Castle Grande. That real estate scam was a subset of Whitewater. Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker was convicted because of it. Taxpayers were put on the hook for about $4 million. When Hillary's buddy Webb Hubbell was indicted for his role in it, Hillary was mentioned (albeit not by name) as Hubbell's "billing partner." Details are hard to remember. So were the billing records themselves, which "disappeared" for a couple of years in the private quarters of Hillary's White House. Travel Office Firings. Independent Counsel Robert Ray concluded that Hillary was deeply involved in this skanky deal and that her testimony about her involvement was "factually false." Filegate. Okay, Hillary was cleared in this one, but her White House was still guilty of extreme cavalierness (is that a word?) in its assignment of political hack Craig Livingstone to a position where he could peruse and perhaps abuse the FBI files of 900 political appointees of former President George H.W. Bush. Pardongate. Outgoing President Clinton gave pardons to people who gave beaucoup bucks to Hillary's Senate campaign and to Hillary's Rodham brothers, Tony and Hugh. Indonesian Fundraising Scandal. John Huang was convicted of campaign finance violations. He testified that he met numerous times with both Clintons in the White House, and Secret Service logs show that he visited the White House 78 times in 15 months. And all of that is just the start. Indeed, as we speak, ''attorneys for Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) are trying to keep her out of a lawsuit that may ultimately force her to testify under oath about an alleged violation of campaign finance laws.'' - [Senator Clinton's Lawyers Seek to Halt Fraud Suit] The general unelectability of any democrat in 2008 explains Barack Obama.  He has no history, and no record. Perfect guy for a con.
