Newsweek’s Sale of Hillary the Hawk Exposes Interesting Hypocrisy
December 4, 2005
Newsweek’s Susannah Meadows, with help from Howard Fineman and John Barry, wrote what appeared to be a 2008 presidential advertisement presenting Sen. Hillary Clinton to readers as a pro-military hawk. In doing so, Meadows unintentionally exposed an interesting hypocrisy in the senator’s stance that she, like others in Congress, was misled by President Bush prior to her October 11, 2002 vote to authorize the use of force to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq.

Hillary Discovers Taxes: A P.R. Offensive
December 4, 2005
From a New York Post Reader:
THE ISSUE: Sen. Hillary Clinton’s tax-refund plan for Puerto Rico residents.
Puerto Ricans are born American citizens, yet pay no federal income tax (”Hillary’s ‘08 Kickoff?,” Editorial, Nov. 26).
Now Hillary Clinton wants to give them refunds on Social Security and Medicare taxes.
I must be missing something, or Clinton must be trying to one-up Jon Corzine on vote-buying.
You go, Hillary — no shame means more votes. Your party has made an art of it.

AP: Clinton Tells Ky. Dems Bush Mismanaged War
December 3, 2005
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton accused President Bush of mismanaging the Iraq
war and claimed his domestic agenda has taken the country off course in a speech
Friday night to Democrats in a state that solidly backed the Republican president
last year.
About 2,000 people cheered the New York senator as she accused Bush of ignoring
an ailing health care system and rewarding tax cuts to the wealthy while piling
up deficits.
Clinton headlined a party fundraiser that brought in $600,000 for Kentucky
candidates as Democrats try to reverse gains by Republicans, who hold the governor’s
mansion and all but one of the state’s congressional seats.
Clinton, who is running for re-election next year and is considered a possible
presidential candidate in 2008, targeted the president’s handling of the war
for some of her sharpest criticism.
