Ladieszzzzz annnnd Gentlemen
Step right up to see the Hillary Clinton Traveling Freak Show!
Live and in person, the Human Doormat herself. For the modest price of just twenty-eight dollars, you can marvel as the smartest woman in the world plays dumb for suckers like you.
You'll laugh as Hillary says she believed Bill when he told her he was just ministering to Monica Lewinsky.
You'll cry as Hillary turns a deaf ear to her husband's rape victims.
You'll shriek in amazement as Hillary sics private detectives on women to put out Bill's bimbo eruptions.
Yes, indeed, the Hillary Clinton Freak Show--featuring the Clinton Flying Monkeys: James Carville, Sidney Blumenthal and Ann Lewis. With Al and Tipper Gore as the Court Jesters; Terry Lenzner as the Dirt Digger; Larry Flynt as the keeper of the Morals; and John Huang, James Riady and Johnny Chung as the Chinese Money Bag Men.
The Hillary Clinton Freak Show--relive those heady days when terrorists were welcomed in the White House; when terrorists were pardoned for votes; and when Osama bin Laden thought he could get away with murdering Americans.
It's the return of the Hillary Clinton Freak Show, folks. The Miracle of the Cattle Futures. The Mystery of Who Hired Craig Livingstone. The Acquisition of a Thousand FBI Files. The Disappearance of the White House Silverware. It's all here.
This is your chance to gaze on the woman who couldn't be gazed at if you worked in the White House. Your chance to show your daughters how not to be when they grow into womanhood. Your chance to see the Hillary Clinton Traveling Freak Show.
The 900 Republican ones I understand--there is no basis for any claim that they were all being considered for positions in the White House under Clinton. But what exactly is the crime in a Democratic (mal)administration investigating the possibility of giving a fellow Democrat a job by looking at their files? Is there a formal procedure for doing that, which was bypassed in over a thousand cases?I missed that one. Indeed, you really can't remember all the Clinton scandals at one time, there were so many . . .
[yep, sure left a mess on that blue dress!]
Hillary Clinton Book Tour Draws Large Crowds

Listen to Jim Malone's report (RealAudio)
U.S. Senator and former First Lady Hillary Clinton's book about her years in the White House has quickly become a best-seller and is causing a bit of a stir among Democratic Party political activists. Senator Clinton's appearances at bookstores to autograph copies of her memoir are drawing large crowds that are mostly friendly but have a few detractors as well.
AP Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., looks at a customer during an autograph session Outside a bookstore on Capitol Hill in Washington, the lines snake around the block with hundreds eager for an autograph and a brief exchange with Senator Clinton.
A beaming Lisa Sherrod has just emerged from the bookstore with her prize, an autographed copy of Mrs. Clinton's book, Living History. "It was wonderful. She was energetic and very friendly. She looks wonderful and I am very excited about reading this book. My 87-year-old grandmother started reading it last night," she says.

I am here to support Hillary Clinton and also to buy her book for my mom because I think that she is an example for us women as to how far you can go if you use your smarts," she says.
Actually, Marilyn Markowitz believes Hillary Clinton can go a lot farther, all the way to the White House one day. In fact, she is unimpressed with the nine Democrats now running for president and would like Senator Clinton to join the Democratic field for 2004. "They are kind of into the mediocrity, I mean, I don't even distinguish between their faces. But hers stands out," she says.
In television interviews given in conjunction with the release of the book, Mrs. Clinton has repeatedly said she has no intention at this time of running for president, either next year or in the future. She told NBC's Today program that she is confident that the Democrats will nominate a strong challenger to take on President Bush in 2004. "Well, it is not going to happen. It is a total hypothetical and I have said I am not running, so that is the answer. But you know, we have very good [Democratic presidential] candidates," she said.
To be sure, the prospect of a Hillary Clinton campaign for president does not thrill everyone. Even at her book signings, she is dogged by small groups of conservative protesters eager to douse any presidential ambitions she may have. "Ladies and gentlemen, in just a few minutes, you too will be able to witness the Hillary Clinton freak show. Live and in person, the human doormat herself! For the modest price of just $28 you can marvel as the smartest woman in the world plays dumb for suckers like you," says Christin Taylor, with a conservative group called Free Republic.
"We don't like Hillary. We think she is telling a lot of lies in her book and we are here to try to set the record straight some and have some fun while doing it," she says.
A new poll by USA Today and the Gallup organization suggests Mrs. Clinton's image has improved since the release of her book. The new poll found 53 percent of those surveyed had a favorable view of Mrs. Clinton, up from 43 percent just two weeks ago.
But the polls and many political experts suggest Mrs. Clinton remains a polarizing political figure, wildly popular with liberal Democrats but a favorite target for conservative Republicans.
Even some of her supporters concede she will have to mend a few political fences if she hopes to one day win the presidency. Joanna Gabryszewski is a supporter who says she would like to work in a Hillary Clinton presidential campaign one day. But she says the Senator will have to win over some of her critics if she hopes to succeed. "There is a little bit of that. She is going to have to get over the hump on that and I am not sure how," she says. "She has got a little bit of a battle uphill before she can get enough people on her bandwagon [to get elected president]."
But many of her supporters brush those concerns aside and are eager for another Clinton in the White House. Lisa Sherrod says she believes Mrs. Clinton should set her sights on the 2008 presidential election. "Yes! Definitely in 2008. I think she needs to put her time in the Senate, get that experience and the notoriety and it is all hers," she says.
The latest USA Today-Gallup poll suggests the public is sharply split on a possible Hillary Clinton run in 2008. Forty-two percent of those surveyed said they would be either very likely or somewhat likely to support her. But 56 percent said it was either not very likely or not likely at all that they would vote for her.
But before Mrs. Clinton can even consider running in 2008, she might first seek to get re-elected to the Senate from New York. She faces that test in 2006.
"I tried to fight against paranoia because it is no way to live. It wouldn't do me any good if I was, all of a sudden, in effect, trapped inside this machine that they [the radical right] were creating. But there were many moments when I would just slap my forehead and utter, er, [she laughs, her eyes widen] some words of amazement at their lies."
Lies such as? "There was one absurd claim that I knew the mother of this young man who worked in the White House, and I had hired him to obtain FBI files which he used to do something nefarious to our political enemies [what became known as 'Filegate']. It was a totally made-up story . . . but it became a cottage industry resulting in investigations and lawsuits.
"And then I discovered to my horror that these rogue FBI agents were literally making up evidence and sticking it in FBI files. That scared me. I thought, wait a minute, how far will these people go? What is this really about?" Entire interview

Hillary Goes to Wal-Mart
The latest skirmish in the Clinton wars.
by Matt Labash - senior writer at The Weekly Standard.
...The Hillaryites' tormentors are the Freepers, a fierce, warlike tribe from the Free Republic organization--a fire-breathing conservative band of Internet brothers who often call each other by their screen names, even in person...
...The Freepers and the Hillaryites go back and forth, speaking like overheated bumper stickers, in a manner that resembles our political discourse through most of the nineties...
...The Freepers are outnumbered about 200 to 1. But preparation is everything, and the Freepers seem to be getting the best of it..." - Matt Labash

The files were requested in alphabetical order. Folks generally don't get nominated or considered for sensitive White House jobs in alphabetical order. Hillary was up to "G" before an alert clerk at the FBI noticed what was going on.
It's also a criminal conspiracy that has yet to be unraveled.
