Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton thinks White House delays in disclosing Dick Cheney's shotgun mishap are evidence of a vast West Wing conspiracy to stonewall journalists and voters.

Clinton told reporters Tuesday that the nearly 24-hour lag proved the White House has a "disturbing" tendency to "withhold information" no matter what the issue.

"I don't think that one incident alone tells a story, but put it all together, going back years, there's a pattern and it's a pattern that should be troubling," Clinton said during a Capitol Hill news conference criticizing the administration's handling of Hurricane Katrina.

"I don't care if you're a conservative, a liberal, a Democrat, a Republican, an Independent -- the refusal of this administration to level with the American people in matters large and small is very disturbing because it goes counter to the way our constitutional democracy ... is supposed to work," she added.

Sorry about that, we didnt have boards like this for me to vent in those days.

[Denver Ditdat]

How could I forget Ron Brown?

That too, Your Thighness.

[Northern Alliance]

She is so weak, ineffective, transparent, uncreative and unappealing. I don't think she is even going to run for President. Or if she does, quit early on in return for a promise to be the V.P. nominee.

Hillary Clinton makes a $44,000 profit on a $2,000 investment in a cellular phone franchise deal that involves taking advantage of the FCC's preference for locals, minorities and women. The franchise is almost immediately flipped to the cellular giant, McCaw.

A drug pilot brings a Cessna 210 full of cocaine into eastern Arkansas where he is met by his pick-up: a state trooper in a marked police car. "Arkansas," the pilot will recall years later, "was a very good place to load and unload."

According to his wife, security operative Jerry Parks delivers large sums of money from Mena airport to Vince Foster at a K-Mart parking lot. Mrs. Parks discovers this when she opens her car trunk one day and finds so much cash that she has to sit on the trunk to close it again. She asks her husband whether he is dealing drugs, and he allegedly explains that Foster paid him $1,000 for each trip he took to Mena.

Parks said he didn't "know what they were doing, and he didn't care to know. He told me to forget what I'd seen.". . . .Later Ambrose Evans-Pritchard will write, "Foster was using him as a kind of operative to collect sensitive information on things and do sensitive jobs. Some of this appears to have been done on behalf of Hillary Clinton. . . Foster told him that Hillary wanted it done. Now, my understanding . . . is that she wanted to know how vulnerable he would be in a presidential race on the question of -- how shall I put it? -- his appetites."

In 1993, on the night before Vince Foster's death, Parks' wife claims she hears a heated conversation between her husband and Foster in which Parks says, "You can't give Hillary those files, they've got my name all over them." Parks will be gunned down two months after Foster's death in his car outside of Little Rock. Parks is shot through the rear window of his car and shot three more times, thru the side window, with a 9mm pistol.

Parks was running American Contract Services, the business which supplied bodyguards for Clinton during his presidential campaign and the following transition. Bill Clinton still owed him $81,000. Parks had collected detailed data on Clinton's sexual escapades, including pictures and dates. Mrs. Pariks claims federal agents subsequently removed files and computer.

WHAT YOU WON'T FIND IN THE CLINTON MUSEUM AND LIBRARY

[Howlin]

Neither was the White House Travel Office firings.

And who hired Craig Livingston?

The Monica Lewinsky story broke on a Saturday night, but the chickens*i* press didn't report it until the following Tuesday.

Shall I go on, Hillary?

[bannie]

How did you know I was a thighness? I thought this name was slimming!!!!

[ClaireSolt]

I sure agree with you. She doesn't really say anything. She just oozes conspiracy accusations. ugh

[Denver Ditdat]

Oh, no, Bannie. I was tacking another question on the end of my list for the Hildebeast and addressing it to her. I'd never stoop to using one of Hill's names on a fellow Freeper - that would be a zottable offense, not to mention downright rude!

A thousand pardons, m'Lady. Please forgive me!

[MamaLucci]

The REAL question is why no Republican in DC EVER points any of the obvious hypocrisy of the Clinton mob out..................the answer isn't pretty.

[John Lenin]

It doesn't look good for any of us when you look at the big picture of the sellout of America. The next downturn is going to make the great depression look tame.

[MamaLucci]

The DC swamp MUST be drained and thoroughly disinfected if the republic is to survive, I'm afraid.

[IrishRainy]

Yeah, and didn't Billy Jeff first hear about Foster's "suicide" during or right after his interview with Larry King?

Why, what a perfect time to announce that fact....or did he need some time to practice having "a single solitary" tear fall down his face?

[DoughtyOne]

Just when you think you might have actually been too rough on Clinton, he opens his mouth again and it's clear you weren't rough enough. What an ignorant slut...

[DoughtyOne]

I hope you understand I was talking about Clinton. Sorry if you didn't.

[Maria S]

Wow! from the Queen of secrecy. Gee, Hil, are you referring to old Vince's suicide note (held for 30 hours)? Or did you mean those missing billing records that magically appeared in the President's living quarters (missing for years)?

The following was taken from another website; don't have permission from that poster but here is what he/she said:

WHY HILLARY WILL KEEP QUIET...
By Michelle Malkin · February 14, 2006 09:35 AM
...about the media uproar over the 18-hour delay in public disclosure of VP Cheney's hunting accident:

Flashback...CNN All Politics, Aug. 27, 1996

WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, Aug. 27) -- The same day Hillary Clinton was scheduled to speak at the Democratic National Convention, newly released documents suggest she was behind the 30-hour delay in releasing late White House counsel Vincent Foster's suicide note to authorities.
How the White House handled Foster's 1993 death, and the possibility that administration officials improperly removed documents from his office or impeded an official search of it, has been the subject of intense scrutiny by congressional Republicans and the media.

[mewzilla]

Well, speaking of Hilliary and secrecy, remember that time at the Westchester Airport, Hillie, when you and your entourage tried to blow through a security checkpoint and ended up injuring a cop? Where were you going and whose plane was getting you there? I don't recall that you ever said, Hillie.

[skinkinthegrass]

Pot. Calling Kettle

Agree...two/three words..VINCE FOSTER/FORT MARCY PARK

[Rebelbase]

[wagglebee]

I wonder how Vince Foster and Ron Brown feel about this.

[GianniV]

Sure enough, the lead story on THE TODAY SHOW this morning was Katie Couric, Matt Lauer and Tim Russert whining about this. It's all so laughable.

Hey TODAY SHOW, how about asking the Syrian government hard questions about where the heck the WMDs are that were smuggled into it from Iraq?
