Senator Clinton and the Post
Wednesday, June 15, 2005 - 03:06 PM
Has anyone else noticed that the Post has been publishing fewer unflattering, deer-caught-at-a-political fundraiser photos of New York's junior senator lately? Has even defended the virtue of the first lady whose husband Poststers used to enjoy tarring? The Observer's Ben Smith has some fascinating theories about a potential Murdoch-Clinton alliance that would be bigger, even, than, say, Pataki-Rivera or Giuliani-Cuomo.
We will believe it when Andrea Peyser is made to retract this conclusion of a 2004 column about a speech Clinton gave at the Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence:
Hillary, normally as controlled and calculating a customer as they come, has, unintentionally, revealed the phony character rotting inside.
She'd wield the name of an icon for her own benefit. Just don't expect her to issue him an invitation to her dinner table.
But this is Hillary, after all.
As always, she gets a pass.
