Hillary's Cans of Worms

Hillary opens up a can of worms by resurrecting her claims of a "vast right-wing conspirancy". Some of my friends and I used to joke about being the HQ for it as we sat in our kitchens together stuffing envelopes for political mailers. James Taranto, Best of the Web, puts it all in perspective in this video, "Life in the Vast Lane".

And she opened her mouth again on the issue of the firing of the US attorneys. (I wrote a bit about it in Hamstringing Hillary.) WSJ:

Congressional Democrats are in full cry over the news this week that the Administration's decision to fire eight U.S. Attorneys originated from--gasp--the White House. Senator Hillary Clinton joined the fun yesterday, blaming President Bush for "the politicization of our prosecutorial system." Oh, my.

As it happens, Mrs. Clinton is just the Senator to walk point on this issue of dismissing U.S. attorneys because she has direct personal experience. In any Congressional probe of the matter, we'd suggest she call herself as the first witness--and bring along Webster Hubbell as her chief counsel.

Read on to jog your memory about the Clintons' abuse of power, as the Journal describes it. In contrast, the Bush administration has done nothing to merit this level of scrutiny. Some of the current attorneys were fired because they had failed to pursue serious allegations of vote fraud. One in New Mexico involved ACORN, which was investigated in other states.

In any event, when Hillary moves on from her campaign cliches and goes on the attack, she reminds us all of the Clinton administration, with real scandal after scandal. Lots of cans of worms yet to be opened.
