Hillary Tongue-Tied as Schumer Blasts Bill

Excerpt:

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.

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.
