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.

Speaking of Chuckie and gun control, when he was campaigning for senator, he was downstairs at my subway stop and extended his hand to me as I descended the stairs. I withheld my hand, turned slowly (I am big and was wearing my retro aviator sunglasses) and said to him "NRA!"
He practically fell over himself walking backwards away from me. What a hoot!
Hillary, Bill, Richard, you folks need a stronge dose of reality.
And the Jews that voted for Hillary hate themselves.
She might be somewhat above an average IQ but I think she's a long way from brilliant. Just the way she talks down to people like she's a teacher lecturing a 3rd grade class makes her look ignorant ---she always assumes her audience is at the level of 10 year olds.
