I wonder how long it will be before Tim Russert wakes up beside a horse’s head. Long accustomed to nauseatingly obsequious treatment by the establishment media, her majesty was not amused by his presumptuous questions during the recent Democrat “debate.” She was particularly annoyed by the following query:
In order to give the American people an opportunity to make a judgment about your experience, would you allow the National Archives to release the documents about your communications with the president, the advice you gave?
Hillary responded with one of her trademark whoppers:
Now, all of the records, as far as I know, about what we did with health care, those are already available.
In reality, of course, Mrs. Clinton and her accomplice husband are doing everything they can to prevent the public from seeing those records. As NRO reports, Bill Clinton has written to the National Archives demanding that they keep Hillary’s records secret until 2012. Moreover:
The Clintons have appointed a proxy (long-time advisor Bruce Lindsey) who has veto power over virtually any records request until 2012 (thus the date on Bill’s letter).
Nonetheless, as Newsweek reports, Hillary continues to claim that she can’t do anything. In fact, she has hilariously claimed that the delay is the fault of the Bush Administration:
I want to open my presidential records more rapidly than the law requires and the current administration has slowed down the opening of my own records.
Among the items that Hillary wishes to keep under wraps is the infamous “Kids First” memo, which outlines her incremental strategy for foisting government-run health care on the country. This strategy bears an uncanny resemblance to the SCHIP legislation President Bush just vetoed.
As Brad Delong so eloquently put it, this woman needs to be kept as far away from the White House as possible.

‘This strategy bears an uncanny resemblance to the SCHIP legislation President Bush just vetoed.’
You mean a measure that had widespread bipartisan support? She was ahead of the times.

Posted 02 Nov 2007 at 12:12 pm ¶We were talking about the kid’s programme, and don’t forget that SCHIP did come to pass in 1997 and under a Reublican Congress.
Posted 02 Nov 2007 at 12:47 pm ¶I would agure that SCHIP does NOT have “widespread bipartisan support,” rather it has bipartisan support in Congress.

Somewhere, I recall learning that he told his subordinates they could cloak anything in a cover that it was for the benefit of the children, then later expand to to the entire populace of Germany and all its conquered lands.
I wonder if Hilary has read _Mein_Kampf_?
