"There has never been an administration, I don't believe in our history, more intent upon consolidating and abusing power to further their own agenda," Mrs. Clinton told the audience at a "Women for Hillary" gathering in Midtown Manhattan this morning.Now either Hillary's been smoking some really great crack, or she takes the American people for a bunch of absent-minded fools. If Hillary Clinton wants to find a president who abused power more than this one, all she needs to do is look for her husband, who has had more indictments and convictions around his dealings inside and outside of the White House than any other president in history.
The White House had illegally obtained over 700 FBI files of Republican Party members. Hell, her former campaign finance director is standing trial right now in regards to filing false disclosures of a fundraiser in Los Angeles during her 2000 campaign. And that's not forgetting about the countless campaign finance violations through the 1996 and 2000 elections, the pardons of 2000, the impeachment charges, and her involvement in Whitewater. I suppose the American public is supposed to brazenly ignore these things among the several scandals that made a mockery out of the Oval Office.
The truth is, Hillary Clinton as well as the Democrats are hoping the public somehow forgets or even ignores their corruption in order to focus on Republican ethics; Tom DeLay's in particular. But the truth is that nothing DeLay has done could ever measure up to the crimes and abuses that went on by the Clinton duo and their friends. Clinton better hope the American people do indeed have short-term memories, or she has no chance to win the presidency.
