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.

Wow, it's deja vu all over again.

[LADY J]

I have a hard time understanding the Jewish vote in New York.

All of this was known to Schumer and the rest of them when they elected her. Why is a person like her worth voting for?

Is that 'promise' she made to Schumer blackmail and is it worth it to the voters to settle for this??

[Howlin]

I wonder if Schumer knows promises don't mean one thing to her ilk.

But if she crosses him, he WILL cross her; after all, he is REALLY Jewish.

Ummmm....Shields up, now! Scotty, back us off, NOW! Spock, any signs of a cloaking device?

Sorry.

What the heck is up with Chucky? I still can't believe I read those words!

It seems Monica does everything for Billy better than Hillary:

"MER - Washington - 28 January 1998:
"We are fans of President Clinton and admire his positions and policies concerning Israel. Clinton is very positive toward Israel and the Jews, and Monica and I are Jews," Monica Lewinsky's lawyer William Ginsburg told Israel's largest newspaper YEDIOT AHARONOT on Monday. "

[kattracks]

I have to agree with you. Unlike hillary!, who looked like she wished she was anywhere else when president Bush addressed the country concerning the war, Chuck was entirely behind Bush.

[Cobra64]

And STILL the New Yawkers voted her in!

And the folks from South Dakota voted in Tiny Tom Daschle too. Don't label all voters; if you want to, some could argue that voters in Florida don't have the brains to punch a friggin ballot; therefore, all Floridians are morons?

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for this thread and your ping.

Besides kissy kissy with Mrs Arafatty terrorist, Hilldebeast took campaign money from an organization that raised funds for Islamic terrorists and tried to lie about it.

Schumer might want to bring this up some day to really make her sweat up old Krusty, her trusty stand alone black pajama outfit.

[wardaddy]

Who can complain when we get to watch our enemies devour their young?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Arafat is a terrorist and a FOB. Sounds like old Chuckie Schumer is just calling a spade a spade.

[Gabz]

And STILL the New Yawkers voted her in!

As a born and raised New Yawker, all I can say is that Delawareans keep re-electing Joe BiNLAden - and I have yet to understand it, and I've been out of NY for 20 years.

[4TheFlag]

Everytime i hear this jr senators name or see her (questionable there,) picture, I just want to PUKE...

Hillary's 1974 tirade against a campaign aide whom she denounced as "a f - - - ing Jew bastard."

i wonder if schumer's ears are burning? hehe...

[BillofRights]

Schumer knows that there are more Jewish than Palestinian voters in NY. If that ratio were to ever change, Schumer would be singing a different song. It's about votes -- not principle! Nonetheless, it does my heart good to see Hillary have to take it up the a_ _, while Bill's old Presidential war room is substantially inoperable.

[CARepubGal]

Chucky got it right this time. If her heinous opens her fat mouth, she looks like the Bi&ch she is! LOLOL! I would rather see Hitlary in Marion prison underground with BJ in the next cell.

[barker]

Hillary must be furious at Chuckie. You can bet her minions are hard at work out of the public eye. She won't let Chuckie get by with this. She will never forgive him and she'll try anything to get him for this. Look for stories about his personal life first.

[CARepubGal]

Chucky is doing the right thing with regards to 9/11. He is also making the creature from Chappaqua look awful! If her heinous opens her fat mouth, she looks like the Bi&ch she is! LOLOL! I would rather see Hitlary in Marion prison underground with BJ in the next cell.

[mystery-ak]

This article and the new USA/CNN poll on Enron has lifted my spirits this evening.

[LasVegasMac]

Don't kid yourself. The beast has plenty of brain power.

Unfortunately, it is not used to make this country better - just to make herself better.

I sure don't remember Shumer the nazi ever speaking up during Clinton's squalid tenure about the handling of Arafat. I seem to recall that Shumer supported everything that Clinton did, including Clinton using a young Jewish woman as a human humidor. The binding tie for Shumer and the Hillary is their mutual hatred of Christ and Christians... and Hillary believes that once she can drive Christianity underground she'll then go after the Jews. Shumer would be wise to watch his back.
