New York Senator Hillary Clinton blasted the press on Monday for going too easy on President Bush, complaining that reporters are letting his administration get away with the worst abuse of power in American history.
"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," said Mrs. Clinton, whose own administration collected FBI files on opponents and had accusers audited by the IRS.
Addressing a gathering of "Women for Hillary," she urged journalists to go after the Bush White House.
"Where are the investigative reporters today?" she demanded, in quotes picked up by the New York Times. "Why aren't they asking the hard questions?"
Though the press has yet to question her, for instance, about an array of scandals - including reports last month that the Clinton administration's Viagra mandate ended up providing the impotence drug to sex offenders - Mrs. Clinton said she was shocked by the press' pro-Bush bias.
"It's shocking when you see how easily they fold in the media today," she complained. "They don't stand their ground. If they're criticized by the White House, they just fall apart."
Mrs. Clinton repeated her call for the media to get tough with Bush, addressing reporters in absentia:
"I mean, c'mon, toughen up, guys, it's only our Constitution and country at stake. Let's get some spine."
There goes that memory problem again.
She is very good at Cunning Stunts.
Sith Queen.
It sure does...let me help.
Web Hubbell say's, "I guess I'll have to roll over one more time"...and the press sits on their hands.
Ron Brown died under very questionable circumstances....and the press was muted.
A little kid get's sent back to a REAL GULAG...and the press say's nothing much.
Hillary Clinton call's some people "Jew Ba$tards"....and the holier than thou press does nothing.
Bill Clinton sexually assaulted Kathleen Willey...and the press does NOTHING!
Democratic fund raiser John Huang, was linked to more than $1 million in questionable contributions..to the Clintons. Worked for the Commerce Dept...( Ron Brown's gig..) and had ties to the Lippo Group...which may as well been the Chinese Red Army. And the PRESS DOES NOTHING!!!
Man, how I loathe the PRESS..!!
boggles the mind, doesn't it?
they can't tell me that there isn't an adversarial media during republican presidencies,
and a friendly media to democrat presidencies.
look at what ted kennedy and the nyt have done to the u.s. military. and the media enraged at gov perry signing a bill at a religious school, but meanwhile the same media's defending the moslems at gitmo.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn once wrote:
"Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the twentieth century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press."
And...Jim Morrison said this, "Whoever controls the media, controls the mind."
They both were right.....
I guess that would depend on what the definition of "is" is.
Hillary going off the deep end bump....
