An upcoming book by a longtime Democratic insider asserts that Sen. Hillary Clinton is “ethically unfit” to hold public office. The author of the book is Jerry Zeifman, who was counsel to the House Judiciary Committee for 17 years. He was chief counsel to the committee during the Watergate episode, a role he chronicled in an earlier book, “Without Honor: The Crimes of Camelot and the Impeachment of President Nixon.” Hillary was a committee staffer at the time. And Zeifman’s new book “Hillary’s Pursuit of Power” is based in large part on his personal experiences with Hillary. A press release...

(AXcess News) New York - When Democrat Sen. Hillary Clinton was booed by her party's base at the "Take Back America" conference, it was the result of her saying the US must finish the job in Iraq and not announce a withdrawal date. However, Clinton voted "Yes" to a resolution demanding that troops begin withdrawal of US troops this year and that the Commander-in-Chief should submit a plan for total withdrawal -or a "redeployment," as several Democrats call leaving Iraq. Clinton also opposed any criminal investigation of the New York Times and defended their right to print the story regarding...

Hillary Clinton wishes to lead the fight against protecting marriage in the upcoming debate on the matter in the United States Senate. Oh sure when my New York listeners call her office her spokespeople say that she supports marriage - she just doesn't wish to see the federal government over reach. Right... Ms. Universal Healthcare wants government not to intrude! This last week however, a little clue was uncovered that indicates Hillary is not neutral on the issue at all. Instead she is strategizing on how to promote the message of the radical homosexual activists while debating the Marriage Protection...

Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 24, 2006 -- Liberals have been swift to denounce a new book of Hillary Clinton quotes, with even the New York Times backtracking on its prior coverage. The author and publisher stand by the book, however, and have issued a challenge to the book's left-wing critics. "I've Always Been a Yankees Fan: Hillary Clinton in Her Own Words" (World Ahead Publishing; paperback: $12.95; ISBN 0974670189), compiled by Thomas D. Kuiper, features a cover image of New York's junior senator wearing a Chicago Cubs hat. The book just hit stores earlier this month, but it has already...

ALBANY, N.Y. — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that President Bush's chief political strategist Karl Rove "spends a lot of time obsessing about me." The former first lady and potential presidential contender was reacting during a radio interview to a new book quoting Karl Rove as saying she will be the 2008 Democratic nominee for president, "He spends more time thinking about my political future than I do," Clinton said, noting that Rove and other White House aides have met regularly with her possible opponents in November's 2006 Senate race. The junior Senator from New York said she believed...

Add Hillary Rodham Clinton to the pantheon of luminaries immortalized in Madame Tussauds' wax museum. A life-size figure of the former first lady-turned-senator was set to be unveiled Thursday, complete with a campaign-style balloon drop, flags and a full-throated rendering of "Hail to the Chief." A Clinton figure had been on Tussauds' visitor request list for "a long, long time," museum manager Janine DiGioacchino said. But the looming Presidents Day holiday and the buzz surrounding Clinton's possible 2008 presidential bid sped up her addition to the collection. The Clinton statue, crafted at the original Tussauds museum in London, will take...

PHOTO EXCLUSIVE: Madame Tussaud's wax rendition of Sen. Hillary Clinton sports an appropriately frozen smile. Photo: N.Y. Post: Jim Alcorn Here's a philosophical question: Isn't creating a wax figure of Hillary Clinton just a wee bit redundant? In her robin's-egg blue pantsuit, strenuously coiffed hair, and a smile plastered on her puss that says, "Don't eff with me, buddy," Her Hillaryness serves as inspiration for the newest dummy to grace Madame Tussaud's in Midtown. All of which makes me wonder: How can you tell the real one from the fake? And, perhaps more importantly: Is there really much difference?...

Much of the buzz in Washington isn't about the president or first lady, but about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton who spoke at Coretta Scott King's funeral along with a host of politicians from both sides of the political aisle. An op-ed in The New York Times today says Republicans are playing into stereotypes in their attacks on her. Meanwhile, Democrats are divided about whether she should run for president. Some of the political theater played out during Tuesday's ceremony. During his tribute, former President Clinton said: "It's great to be here with my president and former presidents." Then someone in...

HILLARY CLINTON, NOVELTY ITEM Hillary Clinton wants to be all things to all people. In the last couple of weeks, she has stepped to the left of the president on health care, to the right of the president on Iran and into the realm of radicalism on race. Positioning herself for the 2008 presidential campaign, Sen. Clinton (D-N.Y.) is simultaneously broadening and narrowing her policy positions. Mostly, she just calls repeatedly for "new leadership." Hillary's policy positions are nothing new. She has nothing particularly interesting to say. In fact, Hillary's talking points are the same as 2004 Democratic presidential nominee...

There was a lot of estrogen flying at the Cradle of Aviation Museum yesterday, as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton administered the oath of office to Nassau District Attorney Kathleen Rice, the first woman to hold the top law enforcement job on Long Island. "The torch has been passed to a new generation," said Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi, pausing to allow the applause to crescendo before adding "of women," which brought down the house of more than a thousand supporters who had come to the inauguration of the region's newest star. As Rice repeated the oath after Clinton, the many...

Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., has all the hallmarks of a clearcut favorite to win the Democratic nomination for president in 2008. She enjoys nearly universal name recognition, focuses on high-profile issues and, perhaps most importantly, has the ability to raise a lot of cash. But there is a massive amount of ground to cover before she can allow visions of settling back into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to dance in her head. First up is her Senate reelection campaign. In a development that could spice up the 2006 race, two antiwar candidates have announced they will challenge Clinton for the Democratic...

Israel's Yitzhak Rabin Center is charging $100,000 a pop for supporters who want to bask in the aura of former and possibly future first couple Bill and Hillary Clinton, who will be attending the center's opening next week. A fundraising letter obtained by the New York Post asks for donations to the center - saying seating will be determined "according to the size of the contribution." "Priority, of course, will be given to the highest contributions," the letter adds. The Clintons will seated at a 10-person table with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who apparently won't be charged for the...

This summer, Hillary Clinton is reportedly rolling in dough. New York's junior senator has amassed a $12.6 million war chest for her re-election bid next year, raising half that amount from April to June alone. Clinton's latest campaign reports, filed on July 15 with the Federal Election Commission, became public on July 28. Her second-quarter contributions totaled $6,108,413. Combined with interest and refunds, the campaign took in a total of $6,145,305 during the period. More than $5.8 million came from individuals—65,691 in total. Those filings sprawl across hundreds of pages, so finding out exactly where her money came from in...

Washington, DC press conference Thursday will see the New York Senator call for a Federal Trade Commission inquiry into the San Andreas mod. Tomorrow in the country's capital, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) will call on the Federal Trade Commission to launch an inquiry into the "Hot Coffee" mod, sources have told GameSpot. Clinton, a vociferous critic of violence in the media, will be joined by David Walsh, president and founder of the National Institute on Media and the Family; Mary Bissell, fellow at the New America Foundation; and Kiersten Stewart, director of public policy for the Family Violence Prevention Fund....

2008 presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has failed in her first major foreign initiative - a high profile bid to bring the 2012 Olympic games to New York City. Hours before this morning's announcement that London would host the 2012 games, Clinton was pulling out all the stops to bring the sports extravaganza to her constituents back home. Mrs. Clinton told reporters in Singapore, where the Olympic committee was meeting, that the Big Apple "exemplifies Olympic values every single day. Living in New York is like living in an Olympic Village - you have every language from every corner of the...
