Hillary Tongue-Tied as Schumer Blasts Bill
As much as she might want to fire back at her New York colleague Sen. Charles Schumer for insulting President Clinton yesterday, Hillary Clinton best bite her tongue.
Why? Because of an extraordinary pledge made during her Senate campaign that she'd follow Schumer's lead on all matters Jewish.
So it must have been particularly frustrating for Clinton to hear about her Schumer's address to New York's Central Synagogue Sunday, where he blasted her hubby as a terrorist enabler who for years coddled Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
According to the New York Post, Schumer actually had the temerity to tell the group that Mr. Clinton had failed to hold Arafat's "feet to the fire" as Palestinian sponsored terrorism against Israel continued throughout the 1990's.
And though he didn't mention it, New York's senior Senator couldn't have been too pleased with Arafat's frequent visits the Clinton White House - more than any other foreign leader (even if the PLO chief had to cool his heels every once in a while when the ex-prez was being Lewinskied.)
Yesterday Schumer sounded ecstatic those days were over.
"The Bush administration - they have done an incredible job," he told the breakfast gathering. "They're the first administration since Arafat became head of the PLO to say to Arafat, 'We are not going to deal with you until you end the violence.'"
"I am just so gratified that the president and the administration have taken this tough stand," he added.
So why isn't Hillary likely to respond?
It was Schumer's pledge that "she'll do exactly as I say" on Mideast issues that smoothed things over with New York's politically crucial Jewish voters - worried as they were over Mrs. Clinton's public embrace of Suha Arafat and her long history as a Palestinian sympathizer.
And just when that controversy seemed to subside, up popped several witnesses who recalled Hillary's 1974 tirade against a campaign aide whom she denounced as
"a f - - - ing Jew bastard."
She may be thinking the same thing about Sen. Schumer right now, but Hillary knows that one word from her colleague could rekindle all the old questions.

I don't know, Howlin ... as sickening as this may sound ... that looks like desire/lust to me.
Well I'll be! If Schumer, a Leftist's Leftist, understands the true nature of Arafat and the PLO, what's the problem with our libertarian "friends" around here on FR?
What is up with the snotty A#$ed look on her face? I just want to smack her.
I wouldn't trust Schumer any farther than I could throw him. It's cool that he and Hillary are at odds, but when push comes to shove, Schumer will side with Hillary when it comes to opposing Republicans
The best description of Hillary! in a long time.
Ya THINK? (she says, dripping w/sarcasm)
Schumer may not be "a complete schmuckhead," but it follows from Schumer's comments that the Jews who voted for the terrorist-enabling, Arafat-loving, Jew-hating clintons surely are. (And I speak as a Jew who was born and bred in New York City.) |
A pal turns against Clinton

bill clinton-- an utter failure at fighting terrorism--gets an honorary degree and a university dept. from Israel. Meshuga--that is--unless the mandate of the "Clinton Center for American Studies" is to teach future Israeli leaders what NOT to do. |

The report fails to explain how Buddy was able to wrest from the strong arm of the Secret Service and negotiate the multimillion-dollar, taxpayer-financed retrofits that were installed to make the poorly located suburban house safe for the universally despised former first couple. The report also fails to include a timeline detailing the whereabouts of the clintons on the day of the death. The clinton report's indictment of a sport utility vehicle (SUV) has caused incipient whispers of a vast left-wing conspiracy and the ever-expanding list of dead adverse clinton witnesses to fill the Senate cloakroom.

Buddy was a 1997 'gift' from a 'benefactor' who subscribed to the notion: "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog," particularly sage advice for a DC couple forever mired in scandal and antipathy. Whether Buddy also subscribed to that notion was questioned as recently as last January when he entangled himself in clinton's legs, dropping the impeached ex-president to the pavement; clinton insisted at the time that there was no malevolence involved, that they were simply playing a game of fetch. clinton refused to say who was doing the fetching. (see BILL & HILL & BUDDY & HELEN, Helen Thomas Syndrome: THE SYMPTOMS )

The White House reported that the clintons' first First Pet, Socks, a cat, "greeted the canine acquisition with a hiss previously reserved only for Ken Starr." Because Buddy remained Socks' nemesis throughout the clinton dog days, Socks was eventually exiled to Virginia, to the suburban home of Betty Currie, former clinton subornee and sex scheduler. At the time, clinton observed: "I made more progress in the Middle East than I did between Socks and Buddy." Retrospectively, it is clear that clinton's characterization was not correct.
Buddy web sites quickly exploded in cyberspace. (Socks web sites, too, he would add.) Mrs. clinton, a long-time adherent of synergistic exploitation, "authored" an instant book about three groups favored for exploitation by the clintons: dogs, cats and children. "Dear Socks, Dear Buddy: Kids' Letters to the First Pets" was published by the clintons' personal agitprop-and-money-laundering machine, Simon & Schuster. (see Is hillary clinton's $8M "book advance" a Peter-Principle artifact?) Although Chappaqua locals share the national repugnance for the clintons, their feelings never spilled over to Buddy. "The big highlight for people was, 'I just saw Buddy,' never mind Mr. and Mrs. Clinton," said Christine Meyer, owner of Wags and Whiskers here. |
