If I was Greenfield, I'd hire a body guard, or two!

Well, bravo for Jeff Greenfield! But this is not going to amount to a hill of beans unless it is repeated elsewhere.

Nevermind if it were a Republican...if it were any of the other Democrat candidates....we would be hearing the media's lines that "The questions continue to dog so-and-so" and "The questions are not going away." Something tells me we are not going to get this drumbeat with HRC.

BTW they need to keep after her on her so-called "stand" on driver's licenses for illegals, because Judicial Watch is already suing Spitzer and the NY DMV over it. And they may have given her just the"out" she needs:

"If Governor Spitzer wants to change the rules, he has to follow the
rules – which means going through the New York State Legislature and
otherwise following New York law."

So now she can say that's not her decision to make, it's up to the state Legislature.

Well, it's refreshing to hear that Greenfield has a bit of memory recall, but it's worthwhile to remember that Hillary won't be alone in the White House... "we could have two presidents at one time."

In the light of how the press is always comfortable in bringing up past Republican scandals and unfortunate events, etc., there is a long list of issues that, if the press were true to its own cause, would be up front in every discussion of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

First, there might be the thousands of follow up queries to: "So.. what became of all of the old crooks who were friends of you two, to wit: JAMES RIADY PLEADS GUILTY WILL PAY LARGEST FINE IN CAMPAIGN FINANCE HISTORY FOR VIOLATING FEDERAL ELECTION LAW." Follow up question being, "By the way, did President Clinton ever apologize for putting the justice department through all of that - I'd say ‘putting the American voting public through all of that,' but we in the media did our damn best to play it quiet?"

Secondly, the left side of the isle is actually really pissed off about the Clinton leadership during the 90's on NAFTA, WTO, China's Free Trading "Favorite" status, and their view (and the press's view) of how this has hurt the American worker. "Any defense here Hillary? After all, the press just keeps getting away with blaming it all on the Bush administration."

Thirdly. The story goes, Hillary, that when the Clinton's left office, they left a surplus as far as a ... well -- the term was actually "projected surplus" was it not? The bubble burst before you left office, Hillary, and over the next 3-4 years the country was saddled with some $1.8 trillion in lost tax revenue (almost all from the reversal you left us with). Now, now, now - Bush Tax cuts did not hit the books until after the reversal. Besides, since the Bush tax cuts hit the books in 2003, Federal tax revenues have recovered from the Clinton crash, and have soared 44%. And don't forget, millions of American workers lost their jobs, their life savings and their health insurance in the mess that you two left behind.

Fourth. The HIV/Aids pandemic in Africa. You see, the media has no fear in going back in time and blaming Ronald Reagan for not talking publicly about Aids, back when it was first becoming understood, however, you and Bill knew damn good and well about it -- and did next to nothing to keep tens of millions of folks from contracting the disease, especially in Africa and Indonesia. Yea, Bill Clinton (Johnny come later to the party) has finally followed in the footsteps of that great leader on the issue, President Bush, who stepped up to the plate and got the entire congress behind him in taking historic steps - and the results are in the books now, but perhaps none expressed it better than David Corn of the Nation, when he wrote back in 2002, "How many times is Bill Clinton going to apologize to Africa." Or, as he answered his own question as to why Clinton did so little, he offered,

The prevailing view was, these people should die quietly.

And:

A cynical guess at Clinton's motivations: AIDS in Africa, it doesn't poll well.

I note that when the left pounds on George Bush, the mainstream media likes to pile on, however, in the Clinton's case they simple crawl in to a hole and act like it didn't occur.

Hillary, how can it be that the press does not ask you and your husband each time you are in front of them to comment on your lack of effort and on how historic the humanitarian effort by President Bush's leadership has been? Oh, and on the fight on malaria, also.

Speaking of Africa, Hillary; after Bill Clinton's complacency over the Rwandan genocide, he said "never again." Next door, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, estimates are that beginning in 1996-1998 some 4 1/2 to 6 million died in the civil war and genocide there - the largest loss of life in a single conflict since WW II.

So Mrs. Clinton let's get this straight. The press continues to hate and pound on Reagan, (any Republican, for that matter) for not doing enough for HIV/Aids, back in the 1980's, while at the same time, they consider the absence of effort by Bill Clinton in two, or three, of the greatest tragedies to befall mankind during the modern era, the stuff that humanitarianism and "it's takes a village" is made of, to be off limits for discussion?

Someone help me out here.

The media's just acting on the Clinton's policy of "don't ask, don't tell".

Thankfully we have other news outlets to get this information from.
