HILLARY AND NEWTIE SITTIN’ IN A TREE

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 12, 2005 11:05 PM

It’s a Clinton/Gingrich lovefest. Gack:

For Ms. Clinton, standing side by side with her husband’s onetime nemesis gives her the chance to burnish her credentials among the moderates she has been courting during her time in the Senate.

But in comments this week, she portrayed the rapprochement as one born of shared policy interests, not calculated politics.

“I know it’s a bit of an odd-fellow, or odd-woman, mix,” she said. “But the speaker and I have been talking about health care and national security now for several years, and I find that he and I have a lot in common in the way we see the problem.”

For his part, Mr. Gingrich, who helped lead the impeachment fight against President Bill Clinton, called Mrs. Clinton “very practical” and “very smart and very hard working,” adding, “I have been very struck working with her.”

Struck with what? Amnesia? ‘Cuz that’s the only rational explanation for how Gingrich could forget all of Hillary’s “Contract on America” hysteria.
