Hillary Clinton has tried to claim credit for everything politically popular that happened during her husband’s administration, and has even attempted to create a few that never happened at all. Most of these arguments have resulted in repudiation, as when Lord Trimble scornfully dismissed her supposed contribution to the Northern Ireland peace talks as “cheerleading”. Today, the Boston Globe finds more cheerleading than leadership on S-CHIP, which Hillary had claimed as her initiative (via Memeorandum):
Hillary Clinton, who has frequently described herself on the campaign trail as playing a pivotal role in forging a children’s health insurance plan, had little to do with crafting the landmark legislation or ushering it through Congress, according to several lawmakers, staffers, and healthcare advocates involved in the issue.

WASHINGTON (AP) - campaign_minute To hear Hillary Rodham Clinton tell it now, she had a lot more going on as first lady than she let on at the time. On the presidential campaign trail, Clinton frequently makes the pitch that she is uniquely qualified to pass the “commander in chief” test in large part because of her foreign policy and national security experience in Bill Clinton’s White House. She takes credit for helping bring peace to Northern Ireland, negotiating open borders for refugees fleeing Kosovo, standing up to the Chinese government over women’s rights, and flying into Bosnia when it was too dangerous to send the president.
