In another move that helps her set the stage for a 2008 presidential run, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton has snagged a slot on the Senate Special Committee on Aging, which deals with the politically potent issues of Social Security and Medicare.
After an ally, incoming Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, announced the appointment yesterday, Clinton told New York's WINS Radio that as Baby Boomers began to reach retirement, the work of the committee would become increasingly important.
Top on the committee's agenda next year will be Social Security reform, which could turn into a battle royale as Democrats and Republicans wrestle with how to save the system.
Clinton's high-profile role on the Aging Committee is certain to help her in battleground states four years from now, states such as Florida, Pennsylvania and Arizona, which have high senior populations.
The former first lady already serves on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, the Environment and Public Works Committee, and the Armed Services Committee.
Finally, an area she knows something about.
Hillary is a bag.
Hillary...Bag ... that headline works for me.
AARP Caveat!
"Aging bag Hillary has committee assignment.
Thanks. I ran a search and nothing came up.
My first thought---takes one to know one!!!
Just eliminate all government social programs which are illegal and unconstitutional and the committee can die for nothing to discuss.
And she bagged some things that belonged to the White House.
She bagged the FBI files.....oh I could go on!!!
To be expected. She's going to make her run for the White House by demogoguing social security and medicare.
She's starting to position herself for '08.
I don't want this WITCH anywhere near MY social security benefits.
LOL Happens to me all the time. I always do that at least once a day. ;-)
How an old bag on the committee on aging?
No, that's mean....but it's still sorta funny.

PSYCHO ALERT !!!
"Be afraid ..... be very afraid."
Exactly. She plans to do with SS the same way that she "had her way" with Healthcare.
Finally, an area the Old bag is familiar with.
