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."

Dare I say it...Yes. All we need is a 'Deep Throat' now.
And yes it's bad.
Someone should probe Hillary with an electric cattle prod!
That was my first thought too.

Oh shut up, you demented sow.
Do remember what happened to the LAST Senator from New York to run for President, on this very day in 1968 as a matter of fact.
God has a sense of humor. God likes watching history repeat itself.
And oh, so would I. :)
*Women for Hillary*.....Good Lord!
Yea, like she wouldn't enjoy that, and besides isn't there some rule about mentioning Hillary and probing in the same sentence?
With no due respect, Ms. Cellulite, who made you the editor of the entire press?
At least until I'm President.
"[Bill & Hillary Clinton are] grifters, a term used in the Great Depression to describe fast-talking con artists who roamed the countryside, profiting at the expense of the poor and the uneducated, always one step ahead of the law, moving on before they were held accountable for their schemes and half-truths." --former Democratic President Jimmy Carter's former Chief of Staff Hamilton Jordan

Would that be Monica???? No, from what has been reported, it does not have to be very deep. Just shallow throat.
"Before this, we laughed at poor little countries that drug dealers and international crooks could buy. We mocked the Third World capitals where a little money...would open doors or close eyes. Thanks to Bill and Hillary Clinton, we have now forfeited that small national vanity." -- MSNBC's Hardball host Chris Matthews on BJ Clinton's pardon of convicted cocaine kingpin Carlos Vignali
