Sen. Hillary Clinton has put together an army of 50 staffers and more than 20 consultants as she prepares to do battle for the 2008 Democratic nomination for president. Included in those ranks is acclaimed Washington, D.C., hairstylist Isabelle Goetz, who has collected $3,000 in recent months to clip the former first lady’s locks. Federal fund-raising records reveal that Clinton paid $1,500 to Goetz in April and another $1,000 in May. She passed off both sessions as "media production” expenses, according to the New York Post. Goetz, the favored stylist of John Kerry, also got $405 from Hillary’s campaign in...

July 24, 2006 -- WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign army has increased its ranks to 50 staffers and more than 20 consultants, specialists in everything from fund-raising to speech-writing to hairstyling and makeup. Clinton, the likely 2008 Democratic White House front-runner, ponied up nearly $3,000 in campaign cash for her blond tresses to get some presidential pampering from acclaimed D.C. stylist Isabelle Goetz. Recently released federal fund-raising records show Clinton shelled out $1,500 in April for Goetz to carefully craft her coiffure and another $1,000 for a camera-ready clip in May. She passed off both styling sessions as...

To her admirers — and there are many — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is everything you would want in a president: brilliant attorney, skilled politician, able lawmaker and devoted mother. To her detractors — and there seem to be just as many — Clinton is everything you don’t want in a president: vindictive, a social liberal who deviously portrays herself a moderate and an avid proponent of increasing the power of the federal government. But as the former first lady speaks today in Columbus before a liberal group, those critics and supporters would agree that she is the favorite to...

The Migrant Workers of Park Ridge CNN reports on a speech by New York's junior senator: Appearing before a religious conference earlier this week, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-New York) told the audience that as a child attending Sunday school she would baby-sit the children of migrant workers so that their older siblings could join their parents at work. "I was fortunate that at an early age, through my church, I was given the opportunity to expand my horizons," Clinton told the 600 adults and teenagers attending the Sojourners "Covenant for a New America" conference. Mrs. Clinton grew up in...

Sen. Clinton said yesterday that Democrats emerged from the Senate debate on U.S. troop withdrawals from Iraq "more united" than ever behind a conditional-exit strategy in the war that has divided her party. In remarks before the NDN, a new centrist-leaning Democratic advocacy group, Mrs. Clinton avoided the criticism she had earlier leveled at anti-war lawmakers seeking a quick pullout of all U.S. forces within one year. This time she offered only words of praise for the widely differing withdrawal positions offered by liberal Democrats in the Senate. "Although unity is important, it is not the most important value. I...

BY JOHN W LILLPOP Dear Ann, I, on the other hand, urge you to change NOTHING. Please, leave that bundle of beauty, energy and genius called Ann Coulter exactly as is! Anyone who can incur the unanimous wrath of Hillary Clinton, the 9/11 Commission, Matt Lauer and other assorted leftist thugs, without even breaking a sweat or swearing, deserves national acclaim. Perhaps an 'Ann Coulter Holiday' is in order? Liberals who blanch at the idea can work for free that day! Oh, if only our alleged Republican president and Congress had one third your commitment to conservative values, one-eighth your...

2008 presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said Monday that she's horrified over allegations that U.S. Marines executed innocent Iraqis in the town of Haditha last November after their convoy was hit by a roadside bomb - and she's vowing to expose any cover-up by Marine brass. "This is the kind of horrific allegation that has to be investigated, and we're going to start in the Senate doing just that," she told the New York Daily News, after marching in Chappaqua's Memorial Day parade. The comments by Clinton, who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, seemed to contradict remarks by committee...

Just curious. Has Hillary Clinton prime sponsored evenone bill that has passed a senate vote ?I'm guessing Not.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 24, 2006 -- Liberals have been swift to denounce a new book of Hillary Clinton quotes, with even the New York Times backtracking on its prior coverage. The author and publisher stand by the book, however, and have issued a challenge to the book's left-wing critics. "I've Always Been a Yankees Fan: Hillary Clinton in Her Own Words" (World Ahead Publishing; paperback: $12.95; ISBN 0974670189), compiled by Thomas D. Kuiper, features a cover image of New York's junior senator wearing a Chicago Cubs hat. The book just hit stores earlier this month, but it has already...

theory it will put Chicago to sleep; in reality it will sink the economy. The ballroom was packed with a who’s who of business when Sen. Hillary Clinton addressed the Chicago Economic Club last week. No doubt about it, this was the address of a presidential hopeful. But unfortunately for Mrs. Clinton, the eyelids grew heavy as she droned on and on. Sleep, it seems, was the better option to suffering through this odd and curious presentation. On the one hand Clinton acknowledged a growing economy, a stock market at historic highs, strong productivity and profits, and low unemployment, while...

HILLARY'S NEW IDEAS Currently in campaign mode, for both re-election to her Senate seat this fall and the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, Hillary Clinton has found her signature issue. And just what issue is that? The expansion of the 12 year-old Family and Medical Leave Act. You know the one pushed by her husband that gives people time off to care for a kid or a sick relative. Yeah, that one. Only now, The Hildabeast wants to expand it. Get this...she wants to expand the Family and Medical Leave Act to include time off from work for participation in...

E-mail Author Author Archive Send to a Friend Version April 10, 2006, 7:27 a.m. Connections Papers reveal Iraq-al Qaeda ties — again. With conservative congressional majorities at risk in next November's midterm election, President Bush repeatedly should remind everyone that a key reason Coalition troops invaded Iraq was to padlock Saddam Hussein's Wal-Mart for terrorists. Pressured by congressmen and journalists, the administration finally has started releasing intelligence documents captured in Baghdad. These papers confirm what The Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes, Wall Street Journal editorialists, and I have demonstrated for years: Saddam Hussein indeed was entwined with terrorists in general...

With immigration and Dubai, Senator Clinton is triangulating a foreign policy, one issue at a time. Too bad Iraq is part of the triangle. Those pesky, petty reporters. After fifteen minutes of listening to a city councilman, a congressman, a congresswoman, and Senator Hillary Clinton flay the right-wing Republican proposals for immigration reform, a TV reporter wants to change the subject. “This is about immigration!” says one of Senator Clinton’s press aides. “But we’ve asked six or seven immigration questions!” replies the TV guy. “We have to do other topics!” “Well, this is pretty important,” Clinton says sternly. Indeed it...

Tuesday, April 4, 2006 1:00 p.m. EDT Hillary Clinton in Senate Poll Plunge Support for Sen. Hillary Clinton's reelection bid has suddenly plunged precipitously, with her lead over GOP challenger, former Yonkers Mayor John Spencer, dropping by 10 points, according to the latest Zogby poll. In Zogby's January survey, Mrs. Clinton led Spencer among New Yorkers surveyed by a whopping 31 points, 61 to 30 percent. Quinnipiac and Marist College surveys taken in the intervening months have echoed that result. But in a Zogby poll released Monday, Mrs. Clinton's lead had suddenly plummeted to 21-points, showing her with 54 percent...

ACTOR Sharon Stone has warned Hillary Rodham Clinton to stay out of the 2008 US presidential race, saying the New York senator and former first lady is too sexy to win back the keys to the White House. Stone, 48, who appears naked in a soon-to-be-released sequel to the provocative 1992 sex thriller Basic Instinct, said Senator Clinton had an intimidating sexuality that would cost her votes. "I think Hillary Clinton is fantastic, but I think it is too soon for her to run (for president)," Stone said in the latest edition of Hollywood Life magazine. "A woman should be...
