Few politicians in America have as much scandal, sleaze, and controversy surrounding them as Hillary Clinton and perhaps none of them, with the exception of her husband, has been given a bigger free pass.
As Peggy Noonanonce said, "People have pointed out (Hillary's) ethical lapses for so long that they seem boring, or impossible to believe. That couldn't be true or she wouldn't be running for president. This thought collides with And we already know all this anyway. Her campaign uses the latter to squash the latest: old news, cash for rehash'.
That is indeed how it works with Hillary Clinton's campaign, but nobody who is running for the presidency in the era of the blogosphere and YouTube should be allowed to skate on the controversial issues.
With that in mind, here are 14 yes or no questions I'd like to ask Hillary after I hooked her up to a polygraph machine, assuming that she hasn't gotten so good at lying that she could beat the machine.

Lie detectors aren’t quite as effective on sociopaths. There has to be an element of perceived risk and reward. There has to be emotional reaction and/or guilt associated with the subject inquiry.
While more effective than most judges would like to admit, a lie detector relies on the emotional, psychological and the ensuing physical reactions of guilty subjects with a fear of being caught.

Too many questions and too complicated and nuanced. They have to be relatively simple, ideally Yes or No questions:
“Are you now or have you ever been...?”

Despite the fact that your records were taken and eventually turned up in your private quarters, you have denied taking the records or having anyone take them for you. Is that true?
Her answer would be yes and she would pass. Poorly phrased question allows her to confirm she said those things without admitting whether she did those things.

I think lie detectors also wouldn't work well with people who habitually lie.
The average Hillary speech has at least a lie per sentence. If I were retired I might just follow her around the country and document every single lie for a week. That probably would involve writing down over a thousand lies and then writing a couple of paragraphs each explaining why it was a lie.
I think the Clintons depend on just wearing out their opposition with a blizzard of nonsense.
One example a few weeks ago were Hillary's comments on SCHIP and the family the Democrats chose as their example of how great the program was.
After one great FR poster, then bloggers, and then some of our favorite media outlets blasted this family as wealthy and probably tax cheats, Hillary accused George Bush and the Republican Congress of attacking the family's reputation.
Of course, W and the Republican Congress were wimping out as usual, afraid to take on the MSM propaganda machine, and had not said one word on the subject.
Hillary's lies were blatant and easy verifiable.

Her answer would be yes and she would pass.Good catch. I thought the same thing when I read it... it would be easy for a Clinton to answer "Yes, (it is true, I have denied it.)"

It’s the crack in the windshield strategy.
It may not be right, but it if its there long enough, you don’t notice it anymore and it doesn’t really affect anything anyway. Just ignore it.

"...There has to be emotional reaction and/or guilt associated with the subject inquiry..." The US' present widespread criminality problem is traceable directly to the introduction of Miranda rights, IMHO.
Miranda swept all the guilt out of a freshly-caught murderer.

Lie detectors are unreliable and especially unreliable with sociopaths.

Oh, gosh, < /cackle > this is all ancient history. Can’t we just MoveOn and talk about the real issue, the failures of the Bush Administration?

Do you believe Juanita Broaddrick...about what,specically.
They have to be questions with no wiggle room.
There are a lot of questions she could be asked about things she specifically did or knows, but the Juanita Broaddrick episode probably isn’t one of them.

3) Your Rose Law Firm billing records were removed from Vince Foster's office after his death. Those records were "(m)issing and under subpoena for two years (and) they turned up in January 1996 in the Clintons' private quarters at the White House." Whoever took those records committed a crime by obstructing justice. Despite the fact that your records were taken and eventually turned up in your private quarters, you have denied taking the records or having anyone take them for you. Is that true? As I understand this, a maid found these documents on a table in their private quarters. The main question is not who brought them there, the question is how did the Clinton's not notice them? Also, who is allowed to enter their "private" quarters?

A better idea would be to perform DNA analysis comparing Bill and Chelsea.
The Jerry Springer show would be the perfect platform for this.
