Hillary Clinton, Fratricidal Maniac
"The morning after Tuesday's primaries, Hillary Clinton's campaign released a memo titled "The Path to the Presidency." I eagerly dug into the paper, figuring it would explain how Clinton would obtain the Democratic nomination despite an enormous deficit in delegates. Instead, the memo offered a series of arguments as to why Clinton should run against John McCain - i.e., "Hillary is seen as the one who can get the job done" - but nothing about how she actually could. Is she planning a third-party run? Does she think Obama is going to die? The memo does not say.

The reason it doesn't say is that Clinton's path to the nomination is pretty repulsive. She isn't going to win at the polls.
...
Clinton's path to the nomination, then, involves the following steps: kneecap an eloquent, inspiring, reform-minded young leader who happens to be the first serious African American presidential candidate (meanwhile cementing her own reputation for Nixonian ruthlessness) and then win a contested convention by persuading party elites to override the results at the polls. The plan may also involve trying to seat the Michigan and Florida delegations, after having explicitly agreed that the results would not count toward delegate totals. Oh, and her campaign has periodically hinted that some of Obama's elected delegates might break off and support her. I don't think she'd be in a position to defeat Hitler's dog in November, let alone a popular war hero."

Jonathan Chait.

4. As Obama said:
Clinton is "one of the most secretive politicians in America today."

"He also noted, again, that Clinton doesn't need to wait until April 15 to release the last six years of tax returns."

6. What, it's illegal to file Tax Returns on time?
Have you informed the IRS that the Clintons have filed their tax returns on time?

7. That makes it OK for Hillary to destroy the Democratic Party?
I am not following your logic.

9. Hillary & Rezko
Rezko has raised funds for many politicians, both Democrats and Republicans. These include prominent Democrats, such as Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, Attorney General Lisa Madigan, U.S. Senator and Presidential candidate Barack Obama, Comptroller Dan Hynes, former Cook County Board President John Stroger, and Cook County Board President Todd Stroger. Rezko has also raised money for former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar, a Republican, and he co-chaired a megamillion-dollar fund-raiser for President George W. Bush in 2003.
