New York Times Set To Nuke Hillary?

Drudge has this below up with no link. But pay attention to the reporter's name:

NYT Plans Sunday Exclusive on Questionable Clinton Library donors... Reporter Don Van Natta... Developing...

He's a serious award-winning investigative journalist ... and co-author with Jeff Gerth of Her Way:

link: Prosecutors later came to believe that Hillary had padded her bills; she "wasn't guilty of [knowingly] facilitating nefarious transactions -- she was guilty of doing less work than she took credit for," Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr. explain in their 2007 biography, Her Way. Hillary herself never took refuge in this explanation.

Somehow I'm thinking Hillary isn't pleased re Her Way:

Van Natta: "We also show that she has a sort of secret side to her Senate office. We call it the mysteries of Hillaryland in the book where she actually had people on, employees of hers, people on her payroll, who she did not divulge as she was supposed to, according to Senate rules, and we have ethics experts raising questions about that."

Gerth: "She is now running for president, and we felt that people needed to understand how, how she acts in the political arena and, and use that as a basis for deciding whether she is qualified to be president or not. And, you know, in essence, we sort of found that there are two Hillarys. In, in one case, there's the well-informed, the battle-tested, the diligent senator who does her homework. And then we found another Hillary. When it comes to a bump in the road -- whether it is on Iraq or on energy policy or on the environment, where she has a problem, that she plays fast and loose with the facts, she won't admit a mistake, and she sort of, you know, retreats into a shell."

The Clintonites have no doubt seen this Drudge teaser.

Wow, Drudge took it down without any follow up (that doesn't happen very often). Makes me wonder if the Clintons got hold of someone at NYT and put the kabash on this story, and Drudge's source then backed away. Or something else, I wish I knew why he took it down.

[gigster]

Rush said he wouldn’t believe it until the house fell on top of her her and her legs shriveled up.

[SkyPilot]

I didn't mean to post to you a URL of a picture. I meant to post an italicized phrase of your "Gone now" observation about the Drudge link.

Sorry.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I still think we're better off running against Hillary than against Hussein Obama - HE's the truly dangerous one!

Obama vs. almost any of the Republicans is Kennedy vs. Nixon redux - if cheating is necessary, national sympathy will go to the telegenic guy. It will be necessary to nominate Romney and hope he can win a couple of Kerry states back by focusing on Obama's inexperience.

[Churchillspirit]

Those that support the Clintons have already accepted the fact that they're evil and they have choosen to overlook it.

Agreed, but it is the folks in the middle who decide elections. Let us hope that most of the waverers will see through this evil woman and scuttle her chances.

[Dionysiusdecordealcis]

Be careful what you wish for. Obama is more dangerous than Hillary because he’s a sweet-talking, NPR, soccer mom “nuanced” demagogue. He will be harder to defeat than HillaryShrillary. If the NYTimes is bailing on Hillary that’s the reason.

[REDWOOD99]

No worries. Something is up.

[bigjoesaddle]

It’s over, Obama is their guy.

And now, who will the Republicans choose?

You're joking , right?

If it looks like Obama is going to win, Hillary will sneak into his room and rip out his jugular with her bare teeth before she lets him win.

[SkyPilot]

Makes me wonder if the Clintons got hold of someone at NYT and put the kabash on this story, and Drudge's source then backed away.

I am guessing that is exactly what is happening.

Every cell phone in the Democrat power structure is busy right about now.

[Plutarch]

Dang, I was really looking forward to HRC in the general election. Which may yet occur. The women with needs that form the basis for her support are unconcerned over any accounting irregularities.

[Signalman]

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Something doesn't’t seem right here. Why would Pinchy allow this to happen. When it comes to criticism of Democrats by the NYT, I get very suspicious.

[shield]

Very interesting......

[Para-Ord.45]

If the radical left-wing neo-marxist NY Times sets out

to take down Hillary then they know she is unelectable

and are doing the bidding of the DNC.

Therefore I`m FOR Hillary winning the nomination.Based

soley on her negatives alone and not knowing what the NY

Slimes has, she would lose in the general election.

[Just mythoughts]

More ugly internet provided gossip.... Thou shalt NOT gossip. We are all on dangerous grounds just reading it. s/

[Wings-n-Wind]

Just getting the dirt out now so after she is nominated they can claim “that is old news” to excuse not covering it during the General Election.

Excellent theory.... can't disagree....

Possible alternative:
The "insiders" have made a choice...
And now using Pinch to pull the flush-handle...

Ergo...
"Clearing the clog" in the Dim's plumbing for Osama or the Breck girl... or whomever....

JMHO...

[ChocChipCookie]

I wonder why the NYT isn’t propping her up and covering for her.

[SkyPilot]

If Drudge took the headline down, it might have been because the Slimes reporter called him to say the story may be killed.

[Eddie01]

He's a serious award-winning investigative journalist

Working for the DNC's New York and Times marketing firm? I don't believe it.

[marktwain]

“I think Rush said that when the NYT turns on her it will essentially be over.”

Perhaps so. But it may be over for the NYT as well. Hillery has shown that she goes all out, does not back down, and will not submit gracefully.

If the battle becomes one between her and the NYT, both may be irreparably damaged.

[Redbob]

"I want to hear Rush’s take on this before I throw my handful of dirt on the Hildebeast’s coffin.

You're too kind. I should prefer to pi$$ on her grave..."

Well ya see, it's all a matter of what kinda "dirt" you use...
LOL!
