Pillory Hillary Please

Confirmation hearings for Hillary Clinton will hardly be probing and she will doubtless be confirmed. She and Bill, who was disbarred as I recall, will not have to account for any past action (transgressions such as the cattle futures payoff coup, the Rose law firm billing records, the Loral sell the Chinese accurate missile delivery capacity fiasco, or anything else). The future conflict of interest issue will not be addressed either with the Clinton Library being allowed to release an annual list of contributors but not the amounts they are giving. Perhaps the amounts don't matter, anyone who would sell the Lincoln bedroom could be bought cheap. Obama and the Clintons have said that Clinton will thus disclose more than any other former President which is utter sophistry as no other former President has had a wife seek the high office of Senate or the lofty position (perch for her as I see her as a carrion-munching vulture) of US Secretary of State. It is however a done deal, the cowardly lion Republicans won't press her hard on any of these issues or on the arcane Constitutional provision of her voting to raise the Secretary of State's salary while she was in Congress which should technically disqualify her. She's in, don't sweat the details and so is gun-banning, pardon pusher Eric Holder as Attorney General. After being accused of wanting to starve children and kill old people, all but a handful of the Republicans have lost the stomach for the fight. So when they have Hillary in the cross hairs, don't expect them to miss-they're afraid to even take the shot. And the press doesn't care to look too hard either, they have become the boot lick, lick spittle, toady lapdogs, a totally owned subsidiary of the Democratic party. A conservative opposition party in Washington which used to be the GOP is long past due.
