Queen Hillary On The Hotseat
August 28, 2007
By Nancy Morgan
One need look no further than today's Wall Street Journal to figure out why the left has been so adamantly opposed to its sale to Rupert Murdoch. The Wall Street Journal has had the audacity, the effrontery, to challenge, actually challenge, one of the left's most cherished shibboleths: Queen Hillary.

Doing what 'mainstream' journalists have failed to do for, oh, the last ten years or so (except when a Republican is president), the WSJ today put the 'investigate' back in 'investigative journalism.'
Following up on records of campaign donations with the FEC, the WSJ stumbled across something odd. The Paw family, residing in a modest 1280 square foot home, has donated $45,000 to Hillary since 2005, and the contributions of the family of six to other Democrat candidates since 2005, have totalled a whopping $200,000.
Connecting the dots, as good reporters do, they questioned how a 64 year old postal worker came up with that kind of dough. A little more digging, of the kind not ever seen in Hillary's backyard, turned up another odd fact. One of Hillary's mojo fundraisers, Mr. Hsu, affectionately nicknamed "HillRaiser," once listed the same modest address. Pretty shabby digs for such a mover and shaker. Hmm..
Hillary Clinton Wants Ban On Smoking In Public
August 28, 2007
Hillary Clinton lavished praise on New York City's tough anti-smoking laws yesterday - and said she supports smoking bans in public places across the country.

Asked at an Iowa forum on cancer whether banning smoking in public places would be good for America, Clinton replied, "Well, personally, I think so. And that's what a lot of local communities and states are starting to do."
Clinton noted that when New York's smoking ban was being considered, critics claimed, "Oh, that's the end of, you know, the bars and restaurants in New York City."
But she boasted, "We are now having more business than ever before, because a lot of people who stayed away from going out are now going out again, because they feel like they can enjoy their time outside."
Asked whether the feds should impose a nationwide ban, Clinton deferred to local governments.

One of Hillary’s Biggest Donors Lives In This House?
August 28, 2007
One of the biggest sources of political donations to Hillary Rodham Clinton is a tiny, lime-green bungalow that lies under the flight path from San Francisco International Airport.

Six members of the Paw family, each listing the house at 41 Shelbourne Ave. as their residence, have donated a combined $45,000 to the Democratic senator from New York since 2005, for her presidential campaign, her Senate re-election last year and her political action committee. In all, the six Paws have donated a total of $200,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005, election records show.
That total ranks the house with residences in Greenwich, Conn., and Manhattan's Upper East Side among the top addresses to donate to the Democratic presidential front-runner over the past two years, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal of donations listed with the Federal Election Commission.
It isn't obvious how the Paw family is able to afford such political largess. Records show they own a gift shop and live in a 1,280-square-foot house that they recently refinanced for $270,000. William Paw, the 64-year-old head of the household, is a mail carrier with the U.S. Postal Service who earns about $49,000 a year, according to a union representative. Alice Paw, also 64, is a homemaker. The couple's grown children have jobs ranging from account manager at a software company to "attendance liaison" at a local public high school. One is listed on campaign records as an executive at a mutual fund.
The Paws' political donations closely track donations made by Norman Hsu, a wealthy New York businessman in the apparel industry who once listed the Paw home as his address, according to public records. Mr. Hsu is one of the top fund-raisers for Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign. He has hosted or co-hosted some of her most prominent money-raising events.
The Audacity of Hillary Clinton’s Use of the Word ‘Unscrupulous’
August 28, 2007
By Kyle Anne Shiver, American Thinker
That Hillary Clinton has managed to straddle both sides of the corporate fence for 3 whole decades now, while the lesser of her cronies have ended up in jail, is the most over-the-top chicanery I think I've seen in - well, perhaps my entire life.

Hillary Clinton is now pitching her multi-billion dollar bailout plan for the "victims" of "unscrupulous" mortgage brokers who act "dishonestly and try to take advantage of people". And what will fix the problem of "unscrupulous" business people? Why, more government bureaucracy and our money, of course. It's as if Madame Hillary thinks we taxpayers won't mind one little bit just eating cake, while she gives away a billion here and another few billion there; after all it's not her money.
But Hillary Clinton is certainly in a position to know about "unscrupulous" business practices that end up costing taxpayers lots and lots of money. After all, as Barbara Olson so nicely pointed out in her 1999 account of the prelude to Hillary Clinton's political rise, Hell to Pay, Ms. Rodham was up to her armpits in "unscrupulous," corporate wheeling and double-dealing long before she became First Lady.
Evidently, the entire Democratic Party, the Mainstream Media moguls, and every Harry, Dick and Jane American have collectively lost their memories. We all need a refresher course, and quick.
The year is 1978. Bill Clinton is Attorney General of the State of Arkansas. Ms. Hillary Rodham (married to Bill Clinton, but still using her maiden name) has become an associate in the Rose Law Firm.
According to Carl Bernstein (A Woman in Charge, page 128):
Rose was the ultimate establishment law firm, representing the most powerful economic interests in the state: Tyson Foods, Stephens, Inc. (the state's biggest brokerage firm), Wal Mart, Worthen Bank, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, and the Hussman media empire in southwest Arkansas. In the capital of a small state in which business was a matter of backslapping and backscratching, its primacy was undisputed.
Hillary Says FDA Should Regulate Tobacco
August 27, 2007
Sen. Hillary Clinton called for U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulation of tobacco and a national war on cancer.
The New York Democrat and presidential candidate made the remarks Monday at the Livestrong Presidential Cancer Form in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Clinton urged "a much more aggressive outreach. That's why I favor the FDA being able to regulate advertising about nicotine and tobacco products. And we're going to push through, I hope, a bill to get that done."
Such regulation would require an amendment to an old law. The Clinton-era FDA asserted the authority to regulate tobacco in 1996 but the tobacco companies challenged that authority in court. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2000's FDA et al vs. Brown & Williamson et al that the federal act creating the FDA didn't give it that authority.
Clinton said tobacco is "an addictive, deadly substance and we need to regulate it."
Clinton also praised local and state efforts to ban smoking in public places such as restaurants, but didn't endorse a national ban.
She accused the Bush administration of abandoning the "war on cancer."
