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.

Wouldn't you LOVE to know what's she's thinking? I bet she makes snotty remarks about her all the time!
And STILL the New Yawkers voted her in!
or he'd better get fit for a larger codpiece, as he begins to grow a set!
Never has a person with so little to offer, been cannonized for so much.
It's not her beliefs that bother me. Even a person with brains can get it wrong 100% of the time. It's that this person has no brains, couldn't get it right if the nation's existance depended on it and has done nothing but force her incompetance on the American public inceasantly for decades.
Hillary, when you have something intelligent to say stand up. Anotherwords, sit down, shut up and let someone with at least five active brain cells take your place. The nation deserves better. And so do those that befriend you, although anyone that stupid pretty much gets what they deserve.
What questions? Everybody with half a brain knows Hillary hates Jews. And everybody knows who the``more important'' senator from NY is.
