If anyone ever needed to be reminded that the US Senate protects it's own you need look no further than Queen Hillary's coronation as Secretary of State . She'll have another round or two of "questioning" from her colleagues but it makes no difference. She's in. There will be no concern about Bill's foundation money; nothing about questionable campaign cash from her Chinese friends. Yesterday's love fest was reminiscent of her "pretty in pink" grilling from the early 90's. You remember: Filegate, Travelgate, 900 FBI Files "Well, I don't recall" or "I don't remember". "Thank you, Mrs. Clinton.", replied her inquisitors. "We very much appreciate your candor", said her questioners.
Dana Milbank, noted Clinton butt-boy during their administration, has written an interesting article in today's Washington (com)Post.* Dems and Repubs alike who sit on the questioning committee absolutely gushed over Hill's previous credentials. Gawd! It was sickening. It's fascinating that Milbank would bash the "never indicted" crookette. He's done a complete 180 on the Clintons'. Senator Chuck Schumer praised her vociferously as did John Kerry. Why not? Schumer, who never met a camera he didn't like, can now be the kingpin in New York. Kerry can only hope Hillary screws up so he can get her post; the one he thinks he deserves. Richard Lugar from Indiana, is sort of a Republican, and gave HillyMae a pass. This is all so transparent, isn't it? Senator Democrat plus Senator Republican equals Senator Barf.
Regardless, read Milbank's article. It's another reason to completely distrust politicians. Sorry. It's another reason to hate politicians.
