Captain Renault would be shocked: Hillary Clinton's campaign put pressure on Eliot Spitzer to drop his disastrous licenses-for-illegals plan.

The word came from crack NY Post Albany reporter Fred Dicker, appearing on this afternoon's Hardball.

Clinton Says No to Licenses for Illegals
  Posted by TomGuy to Sub-Driver

NYT on Hillary's position on driver's licenses, almost one month ago:

Clinton Takes Stand on Driver’s License Issue (Sort Of)



uhhhh. Wait! Not so fast.

October 19: NY Daily News:

Hillary cheers, but doesn’t back Spitzer license plan


Hold on! The wind has shifted.

November 1: Boston.com:

Clinton backs N.Y. driver's license plan for illegal immigrants


Recall Wesley Clark's cry "Mary! Help!" during a presser when he first announced his run in 2004?

Hillary yells: "Bill! Help!"

November 6: Associated Press

Text of Bill Clinton's Comments
I think it's fine to discuss immigration. We should. I believe immigration needs to be discussed. And it's fine for Hillary and all the other Democrats to discuss Governor Spitzer's plan. But not in 30 seconds, yes, no, raise your hand. This is a complicated issue. This is a complicated issue.

What's great is that Dicker put this out in the open.

Now, some reporter (there are one or two that aren't liberal, or, failing that, at least one or two who prefer Obama) will have to ask Spitzer if this is true.

He can lie, and get caught lying yet again, or rat her thighness out.

Win. Win.

Hillary!: Civics 101 - the Executive Branch cannot pass legislation.

What a spineless weasel - doesn’t anyone have the cahones to tell this witch and her minions where to go - oh yeah, a young Iowan college student said she didn’t have to answer to the Clinton Campaign! Maybe the country could learn from this young collegiate!

Wait a minute... I thought she supported what Spitzer was trying to do, since somebody has to make up for President Bush’s failures at Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

If she supports the effort, why is she telling him to back off?

Now I’m all confused...

Obama spokesman Bill Burton today:"When it takes two weeks and six different positions to answer one question on immigration, it's easier to understand why the Clinton campaign would rather plant their questions than answer them."

Fer sher. That said, methinks that Edwards, Obama and some presstitutes see she is not invincible and will challenge her further. Should be fun to watch...

Somebody at Barack Obama's camp has a really good sense of humor, which is unusual in a Democrat. The line a few weeks back about Dick Cheney being "the black sheep of the family" had me rolling on the floor...

U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, D-New York, on Wednesday thanked Spitzer for making the effort to bring about change, noting that undocumented workers "are part of the economy, they are part of what America's supposed to be."

True. Conversely, the Grifter’s camp just says mean things in response....

Surprised someone is reporting what I believed as soon as I heard Spitizer withdrawing his illegal immigrant id card disaster.

It was the first thing I thought of upon hearing the withdrawal of the plan....ahh..hah...the Clinton's got to Spitzer to take the heat off of her majesty.

The scumbag and his vacant repository are modern day Mafiosi enforcers!!!
