On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton appeared on Good Morning America to lambaste the Bush admininstration for not caring about troops who need more body armor. She demanded an investigation.

On Wednesday, Senate Armed Service Committee chairman John Warner did exactly that.

But Hillary didn’t bother to show up. Via the Washington Times:

“Senator Clinton had a long planned day of events with her constituents in New York and wasn’t able to attend the short-notice briefing attended by the chairman and two members of the minority,” Hillary spokesman Philippe Reines told the Washington Times.

Among the items on Hillary’s schedule this week that took precedence over staying in Washington: a Children’s Defense Fund lunch also attended by Hugo Chavez pal and Bush Derangement Syndrome sufferer Harry Belafonte.

Priorities, priorities.
