The Clintons have been playing the political press for idiots.
Revealing what they’ve been up to took a little bit of work. It wasn’t obvious. While Bill Clinton was giving a speech about fighting AIDS in Africa, or about educating girls in Asia, reporters simply regurgitated the press release. They didn’t ask: Who’s that shady guy standing next to Bill? What are his interests? How much money has he given to, or raised for, Bill, Hillary and their foundation? And what favorable treatment did the shady guy subsequently receive from Hillary?
When you’re a political reporter, complexity is boring. Curiosity takes work. Asking questions and looking up information can lead to dead ends.
It’s much easier to do gaffe patrol. Go to press conferences. Quote party hacks who call you every day with juicy little observations. Or, when all else fails, simply write down your opinions and call it “analysis” or attribute your thoughts to “critics.”
Thank goodness, then, for Peter Schweizer and his blockbuster expose “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich.” (Very rich: The pair have made at least $136.5 million since 2001).

Just saw Bill defending his Foundation. Seemed like a bunch of tap dancing to me.
They don[t have to hide. It wont hurt Mrs. Bill. Nothing does. NYT and WaPo have “done their duty” by actually reporting the scandal but they will be very quiet about it henceforth.
No one in the press corp knew? They all knew the Clintons are grifters and looked the other way.
These guys make scummy televangelists look believable.
Characterizes Bill’s speeches as like “homilies in a Whorehouse”
I wonder when the msm will have their epiphany with Urkel, 2030?
Don’t let these facts confuse you - this author is yet another Right-Wing conspiracy women-hater, politically attacking a woman to stop her from becoming president.

49% of voter don’t car and don’t know. The only way republicans can win is to ensure the illegals don’t vote.
