She's Crafty

March 2nd, 2007
Many of us already have read and heard things about Hillary
Clinton's temper, ambition, and especially her use of subterfuge in
her quest for power. There are numerous tomes written by numerous
authors depicting her relentless pursuit thereof, most of which have
been either roundly dimissed or viciously attacked by her supporters.
To this day I am astounded by the success both she and her husband
have had using the simple tactic of denial. She reminds me of Sabrina
the Witch who, with a twitch of her nose, will make you believe that
as you stand right in front of her in the kitchen that that cookie jar
is not stuck on her hand.
Dick Morris was never a fan of Hillary, but he was a Clinton
insider who has since defected from that camp. He has personally
witnessed many of the tirades that people such as former White House
staffers, security personnel, and Secret Service members have
recounted and yet when he relates these accounts, he is brushed off as
a partisan hack. He's lying. Deny, deny, deny.
Her political ideology is another thing that has been defined in
different ways at different times depending her goals at any given
moment. It seems she can change direction on a whim and like a school
of fish, the media turn in formation and continue to follow, never
bothering to question the new course.
But now we learn that her senior thesis from Wellesley College,
after being hidden from public scrutiny at the behest of her President
husband in 1993, is back in the public domain. And investigative
reporter Bill Dedman of MSNBC has made us aware. Mr. Dedman must have
swam too far from the school and missed the turn. (And the irony of
his surname is not lost on me.)
In his column today, Reading Hillary Rodham's Hidden Thesis, Mr.
Dedman writes:
"As forbidden fruit, the writings of a 21-year-old college senior,
examining the tactics of radical community organizer Saul D. Alinsky,
have gained mythic status among her critics - a "Rosetta Stone," in
the words of one, that would allow readers to decode the thinking of
the former first lady and 2008 presidential candidate."
Rosetta Stone indeed. It will be interesting to see how much
exposure this gets in the mainstream media, but one thing is certain;
if it becomes an issue at all, Hillary will no doubt whip out the
"youthful transgression" card, a tactic that only seems to work for
democrats.
Or she'll simply deny that the paper is indeed hers. That should
work. She's crafty.
