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."
I think Hillary needs to be probed...
Hillary Clinton cannot hide her very nasty and very mean side and this character trait is very repugnant to majority of voters. That is one major reason why she has zero chance of becoming President.
You're such a "Cold Ethyl." :)
That's f*cking disgusting!
Now that's bad, w. :)
You asked for it!
"[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
Hamilton Jordan actually said that??? This needs to be repeated far and wide, get it into all the newspapers and on the worthless TV News Billboards, airplanes at the beach....etc..
:) HA!
God knows her husband won't do it!
Have you heard about KFC's new Hillary value meal?
No, I'm not sure I want to, but go ahead.
Only this level of trauma can account for the ugliness of their public separation. Former White House Chief of Staff Hamilton Jordan now calls the Clintons "grifters," as in confidence men. His former boss, elder statesman Jimmy Carter, chimes in that he believes the "disgraceful" pardons were a quid pro quo for cash.

That was my first thought too.
Thank God you are right. Only the lamestream press prevents the majority of Americans from knowing that. If she runs, even the MS media cannot hide this fact.
Two large thighs
Two small breast
And a left wing.
I'm shocked too! Why was I kept out of the loop about this? How come Hillary knows the secret password to this alleged pro-Bush MSM and no one informed me where they could be heard?
Wait. I think I understand. It's similiar to the playground. The boy pulls your pigtails and it means they really like you. So when the press coordinates with the DNC and U.N. to take down a President during an election year with faked memos and leaked data, well, that is their awkward way of blowing G.W. kisses. Am I close?
"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."
yes, it really is a shame that when exposed for lies they crumble and retract. Not like the good old days when you dogged Nixon to impeachment, right Hillary? It's no fair with the puppy grows teeth and nips you in the rear with the Truth.
love when Hillary speaks. :-) Everytime that woman opens her mouth the shrew comes out. Which is why she's usually kept on a leash by her handlers.
