An angry-sounding New York Sen. Hillary Clinton blasted the White House yesterday for failing to disclose details about Vice President Dick Cheney's hunting accident over the weekend, complaining that Bush administration officials were stonewalling on "legitimate requests for information."
"The refusal of this administration to level with the American people on matters large and small is very disturbing, because it goes counter to the way our constitutional democracy . . . is supposed to work," said Mrs. Clinton, who has claimed in the past to have duck hunting experience herself.
The top Democrat - who as first lady withheld subpoenaed documents from Whitewater investigators for two years and refused to turn over a suicide note from a top aide after he had killed himself - said the Bush administration's propensity for secrecy goes "from the top all the way to the bottom."
"A tendency of this administration -- from the top all the way to the bottom -- is to withhold information," she fumed.
"Putting it all together, going back years now, there's a pattern and it's a pattern that should be troubling," Clinton complained.
The former first lady didn't mention her own hunting days, which she referenced during a May 2002 campaign swing though upstate New York.
Challenged on her anti-gun positions by Fort Ann resident Holden Clous, Mrs. Clinton countered that she had been a hunter in her younger days.
"It was ducks and it was a long time ago," she later explained to Newsday.
Yeah, Hilly. You betcha.
Hillary is an ANGRY Liberal tool.
Too bad she didn't put her angry mouth to proper use in the bedroom ol Bill may not have needed to seek out Monica....
Hillary's tin ear continues to develop.
Why do I always see lawmakers confused on what type government we operate under? We are a constitutional republic; not a democracy, not a constitutional democracy...Geez, democracy is the worst form of government -- at least, according to Plato.
That all depends upon what your meaning of "duck" is...
This woman astounds me on a daily basis. For being "the smartest woman in the world" she shows herself as 100% clueless every d@mn day, LOL!
Her "handlers" need a load of birdshot in their behinds. ;)
Ya think she is referring to hunting for her husband and making him duck ashtrays?
By the way...who hired Craig Livingston?
The only hunting Hillary does, is for felines.
Cheney should tell her to go duck herself.
I had to read the article before I realized she wasn't talking about the Clinton Administration...lol
Who in their right mind would get anywhere near a Clinton with a gun and an excuse...
Ah, the smartest woman in the world was outwitted by a 20 year old intern with a spotted blue dress. I just love the thought!
Not only did he withhold that...he refused to release his medical records at any time during his entire 8 years in office.
"You want to know about what?"
Cheney should stop hunting quail...rats are always in season....lock and load..
So' Hillary, you gotta ask yourself this question...Do you feel lucky, PIOPS? Well, do ya, punk?
Oh my. Is Hillary angry again.
