Hillary and the truth, like oil and water

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 11, 2007 09:59 AM

Stuart Taylor takes you on a stroll down Hillary memory lane:

I will not excavate Clinton’s own kindergarten confessions. Nor will I compare the honesty quotient of her campaign-trail spin with the dreadful drivel dutifully uttered by Obama and other candidates to pander to their fevered primary electorates.

Instead, let’s take a trip down memory lane — from the tawdriness of the 1992 presidential campaign through the mendacity of the ensuing years — to revisit a sampling of why so many of us came to think that Hillary’s first instinct when in an embarrassing spot is to lie…

Read and refresh your memories. Quite a trip.

    When I first read the headline “Hillary and the truth…” I thought you meant Obama. Because, you know, Oprah says he is “the truth.”

    The “true believer” leftists will not believe this, the MSM will ignore it, and, if asked Hilliary will call it “old news.”

    There is a vast conspiracy in this country, but it is not on the right.

    How many idiots willvote for Obama cus “Oprah says”? Please, God, protect us from imbeciles.

    And, no, this is not an endosement for Hitlery. I hope I don’t live to see her re-enter the Oral Office. Besides, we can’t afford all the new furniture for her to abscond with.

    And, yet, she may get the nomination and it will be a close race. What does that say about America?

    This may be my new mantra but, if she gets on “Dancing with the Stars”, she will win hands down.

    Tim Russert will never have an interview with Hillary Clinton and be as hostile as he was with Guiliani. He will never ask Hillary: Is there not a pattern of fibbing and embellishing about your personal life such as: You said for many years that you were named Hillary by your parents to honor Sir Edmund Hillary. Yet isn’t it true that you were born at least five years before Edmund Hillary ascended Mount Everest? Did your parents know Sir Edmund before the 1953 summit of Mt. Everest?
    You even claimed in 2000 that you have always been a Yankees fan? How does that square with the video of you taken previously wearing a Cubs hat and saying you grew up in Illimois loving the Cubs? Please don’t tell me that you were referring to the National League. No baseball fan has two loyalties, one in each league. Were you put into Red Bones cattle future deal where you made $100,000.00 in a week from a $1000.00 investment because your husband was governor? If not, how did you know Red Bones?
    Is making $100,000.00 a week after
    your $1000.00 investment an example of Reagan style greed?

    Nice, but it barely scratches the surface. Rush had a delightful musical piece on her testimonies before various legal authorities and it brought out what must be the early onset of Alzheimers.

    Reading about Hillary and the truth reminds me of this dialogue from “Paper Moon”:

    Moses Pray: I’ve got scruples too, ya know. You know what that is… scruples?
    Addie Loggins: No, I don’t know what it is but if you’ve got ‘em, it’s a sure bet they belong to somebody else!

    Mad chef #7- How will that ever come to fruition? Look at how the media and authorities treated Sandy Burglar/Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame as opposed to any Republican. And let’s not even get into all the Asian-connected campaign shenanigans. What have you heard about Hsu lately? I’m surprised he didn’t yet have a massive myocardial infarction or fall down the stairs.

    Thegreatbeast #11…was that the parody where the Hildebeast reflects that she doesn’t recall, has no memory of anything at all? There was also one amusing song about feminazis which I cannot recall the gist of on Rush.

    The kind of deceptive successes the Clintons enjoy comes from a much darker place than starry-eyed reporters. If we keep expecting the world to wake up to the liars at Clinton, Inc., we are going to be disappointed. This battle isn’t an earthly one.

    I’d prefer Hillary to get the Democratic nomination. She has oodles of baggage that’ll hurt her. If only the Republican frontrunners weren’t so wholly detestable as well.

    You’ve got to admit, she must have a great mind to keep all those lies straight.
    Hillary and the truth just find a hard time existing in the same room, or the same galaxy for that matter.

    She has people that are paid to keep her lies straight. They brief her before she
    brushes her teeth every morning.
    Dems will never hear lies coming out of her mouth because a lie repeated three
    times to a Dem is truth.
    Hopefully her truly atrocious personality will come out full force in the next few
    months. A friend told me her psychiatrist said for her not to get serious in any
    relationship for at least 6 months because 6 months is the maximum anyone can
    keep up a false front. He didn’t know HRC.

    The only tax dollars that should be going to Bill and “she who must not be named” are the funds to pay for their confinement in a super-max Federal detention facility for their many crimes against the people of this country by selling out to the highest bidder. Just their dealings with Red China and the payoffs they received for providing them with missile technology, the White House coffees, and more slimy deals then I can put in a single post should be enough to put them away for the rest of their lives.

    What I cannot figure is why so many idiots enable her to continue lying.

    Are they afraid they’ll end up in an alligator’s mouth or what???

    No one with any integrity would defend the clinton machine……unless……they are evil too.

    A trip down memory lane? How about Vince Foster? And weren’t there a few questionable suicides and an uncanny circumstance involving other “tragic” accidents with a great number of people from their little Whitewater trip? And let’s not worry forget about about travel gate, IRS probes, illegally obtained FBI files or other little stops along our trip down memory lane!

    And yeah, if she is to run, it will be a close race. THAT is the most frightening thing about all of this mess.

    I wonder if Tim Russert will ever ask Hillary Rodham Clinton if she knew that her brother Tony Rodham, never known to hold down a job, acted properly when he lobbied the White House and apparently Bill Clinton himself, for a presidential pardon for one of Tony Rodham’s “clients” ? When Hillary predictably says she knows nothing about what Tony was doing, will Tim Russert ask her: “Did your brother Tony act in an improper and unethical way”?
    But alas, Hillary will never once have to answer for the last minute presidential pardons and her role in it and her brother Tony’s tawdry behavior.

    Michelle, those were the living nightmare years. I, to this day, can hardly believe that vile people like the Klinton’s were elected and then proceeded to “soil” the White House and this Great Nation.

    There are a couple of bright spots in this Hillary for president thing.

    1. There has NOT been any president elected from the Senate since Kennedy in 1960. That’s almost half a century.
    2. Bill is campaigning for her. Everybody he endorses looses.

    So we may be safe after all.

    Just today I read that he is whining about the press not giving “enough time to HRC’s
    ‘good works’.” After I picked myself up off the floor and wiped my eyes, I scolded
    myself for laughing so hard at what he said, then I read the rest of the article, which
    listed just the opposite of her good works. Then I read the article about her speaking
    to Rick Warrens church members and what a mess she made out of Bible verses that
    were, according to her, supposed to support and reinforce her agenda. I was very
    disappointed that instead of calling her on her misinterpretation, he was heard to say
    home run, three times. Makes one wonder about Rick Warren.
    However, I still say that the line to come from one of the Clintons that really, really
    disturbs me is Slick saying that he will only sit in on cabinet meetings, if he is asked to do so.
    If she is elected Venezuela will have nothing on the US.
