Friends of Hillary

As we continue to read and learn more how Hillary Clinton plans to steal the Democratic Party nomination -- and ultimately set back the only party available to progressive-minded people for another twenty years -- I'm reminded of all of the associations Mrs. Clinton has made over these years. Let's take a look at some of them, shall we?

Eliot Spitzer: The crimefighter-turned-criminal has shown once again how poorly Hillary judges character. This man had the audacity to go after others for doing the same thing. He ruined lives. Now he's ruined his own. The hypocritical former New York governor is just one of many friends of Hillary who are of questionable morality.

Geraldine Ferraro: Forget for a brief moment her dubious statements of late. Forget that as a vice presidential nominee, she had less experience than her good friend's opponent. Forget that she was selected because she was a woman (Gerald Ferraro would have never been on the ticket). How about how the House Ethics Committee after thatlection officially criticizing her mishandling of campaign finances. Yet she is working on -- you guessed it -- Hillary's campaign finances. And she is in the employ of Fox News Channel.

The McDougals: Hillary Clinton was at least as much a suspect in the Whitewater controversy as her husband. And while neither Clinton had been charged with anything, the McDougals were. As we have seen recently in the Bush Administration, not being charged with a crime is not freedom from guilt.

Vince Foster: After TraveGate -- the Clinton Administration controversy where it was discovered that Hillary Clinton had called for the firing of White House travel office employees so they could hire Clinton cronies in those positions -- Vince Foster was soon suffering from depression. Vince Foster joined the Clinton White House staff after the 1992 election. He committed suicide on July 20, 1993.

Craig Livingstone: As the White House Director of Personnel Security, Mr. Livingstone improperly requested -- and received -- between 400 and 900 files on individuals he had no clearance to see. The files included members of the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations. The charge was that the order came from the First Lady herself, though again she was miraculously exonerated from any wrongdoing.

Bill Clinton: The second president in our history to have been impeached, and arguably the most controversy-riddled administration not named Nixon, was none other than Hillary Clinton's husband. The great experience she claims she has had comes from an administration that had been bogged down by questionable preactices before they even settled in to the White House.

My father used to tell me this in high school, upon seeing that some of the people with whom I associated were of questionable character, that if someone hangs out with nine losers there are, in fact, ten losers.

Do we really wish to endure another Clinton administration?
