If I recall correctly, when GWB first occupied the office, he was getting hell from the MSM for being slow in filling the open posts. Proper vetting causes that.

How ironic is it that Lewinsky had security clearance but not "door" clearance? ; P

Monica Lewinsky did have TOP SECRET clearance. Perhaps she should be the one in the Dem primaries touting her experience.

That’s under the table politics, but did she do it for the children, as Hillary did.

Yesterday, during Hillary’s interview with George Stephy, she was doing her best to turn her role as ‘First Lady’ into ‘experience’ that qualifies her to be President. As she talked, I could have sworn I heard her tell Stephy she had access to ‘classified’ materials. I’m sure she had access to anything she wanted to see, in one way or another, but it’s interesting that she had no security clearance.

From an old Wayland & 'Madame' comedy routine:

Wayland: "Madame, do you smoke after sex?"

Madame: "I don't know ..... I never looked!"

I wonder if Hillery smokes cigars?

Check to see if there are any in her Humador ;-)

Why do I get the feeling that Miss Monica is not the only "bimbo" to receive instant security clearance.

I wonder if De De Myers ever got hers before she left?

There were many who just didn’t apply for the longest time. I don’t know how many were able to continue working without one.

In the old days, no one from Clintoon to Monica would have gotten a security clearance.

This has been a very troubling question the day the Clintoon criminals took over the White House.

It is also my observation that security clearances are easy to get

Some are and some aren't.

But the key here is that the "local area commander" is ultimately responsible for issuing and revoking security clearances.

As Commander in Chief, Clinton could clear whomever he pleased.

I would think everybody in the West Wing who works that close to the Oval Office would have to have a security clearance.

And I have not read that previous first ladies had clearances so I’m missing this guy’s point.

I once asked a Boston cop for directions from China Town to the Expressway (to Ft. Devens.) I have no clue what he said.

Let’s just say if I had the need to know, I am cleared to access a great deal of information. Virtually everyone I know in the military has a security clearance (because I work in MI). Some of whom wold surprise you to know they have a security clearance. I don’t know, but it seems to me that those in uniform have an easier time getting a security clearance than civilians. I only know one guy who didn’t get his security clearance, and that was because he lied at MEPS.

I gave a link to the NY TIMES article to put things in perspective. Hillary has claimed great foreign policy expertise because of sleeping in a room adjacent to the president’s bedroom (my words). She never attended NSC meetings and never had a security clearance. Hackworth points out that Monica (the crazed stalker) had a security clearance. The comparison is interesting.

Read Aldrich’s book “Unlimited Access.”

It wasn’t just the “Bimbos.”
