DEMOCRAT senator Hillary Clinton failed to disclose a family charity she operates with former president Bill Clinton that has enabled the couple to write off more than $US5 million ($6.3 million) in taxable income since 2001.
The US Ethics in Government Act requires members of Congress to disclose positions they hold with any outside entity, including non-profit foundations.
But in successive annual Senate disclosure forms, Senator Clinton has failed to report the foundation, established in 2001, or her position as treasurer and secretary, the Washington Post reported yesterday.
The foundation has enabled the Clintons to write off $US5 million in taxable income while it dispensed $US1.25 million in charitable contributions over that period.

He hasn't mentioned it yet. He's reading the most horrible comments that were made regarding Cheney; the latest comes from a prominent late-night talk show writer in LA.
Also, discussing Algore and the global warming scam and how W's house is green in comparison. First hour ripped the Dems and Dingy to shreds.
Discussing it as I type!

proper title: "Hillary Clinton caught on charity tax scam"
Or perhaps: "Hillary Clinton caught evading federal income taxes."
Pretty much what Harry did on his land scam. Pretty pedestrian for a Dem..
