Culture Of Corruption @ MindSay

Former First Lady Hillary Clinton today made some amazing prognostications today:

"A clean sweep" is needed at the White House because President Bush has fostered "a culture of cronyism, corruption and incompetence," Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday.
************
"After eight years of the Bush administration, we are going to be shocked by what we find," the New York senator and former first lady said. "Somebody said to me the other day if there was ever a time for a woman president it's now because we're going to have to do a lot of cleaning."
************
"Grab your buckets, grab your brooms," Clinton said. "We're going to have to do a clean sweep because there has been a culture of cronyism, corruption and incompetence."

While I have no illusions about the state of the current administration, I'm also a bit too well-informed to let this slip by without comment.  How can the woman who presided over the administration that set the bar for post-Watergate corruption preach about corruption and cronyism as if she knows nothing of such evil? 

I would recommend two books on the subject Bitter Legacy and Absolute Power.  Unfortunately for the Clintons, their crimes and misdeeds have been hushed up, but they are legion and they have been cataloged in the public record.  Obama could have pulled off that rhetoric, but it comes off as a cheap joke coming from Hillary.

 

I was not a fan of ex-Senator George Allen. When the early spotlight was on him as a potential Presidential candidate he just imploded with public character flaws. These are not the kind of flaws the Republicans could afford in a future Presidential candidate.

 

In 2006 Allen became embroiled in an unexpected challenge from a Democrat who was famous as a novelist. Apparently Webb’s fiction writing skills did well for his campaign for he now is the Senator of Virginia, winning a very slim victory over Allen.

 

Now I say Webb’s fictional skills were awesome because Webb did not beat Allen on his character flaws, rather Webb weaved a tail of bad ethics in Allen reporting his income. The lie coupled with Allen’s character flaws cost him his Senatorial seat and possibly ruined his political career.

 

Democrats lie to win elections against Republicans. That friend is heinous and Webb should be called to the carpet for spinning a lie from laws that were not broken.
