Better yet, I'm trying to find a quote that Sir Hillary Clinton (smile...) made (I believe during her husband's campaign) that upset housewives across the country. It was something along the lines of disrespecting housewives and implied a bit that she was better than them because she furthered her own career. Can someone help me find this quote and a source? Oh yes. That would be this: "You know, I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession, which I entered before my husband was in public life. " Psssh! She stated that she wasn't sitting at home baking cookies?? I believe it was in the same 60 Minutes interview wherein she trashed Gennifer Flowers, despite having had private investigators already confirm the affair between Gennifer and Bill and having already offered a payoff ot Gennifer to ~go away~. It was also the same interview wherein Hillary claimed not to be some Tammy Wynette who stands by her man. Argh! LOL! HaHa, I had forgotten the Tammy Wynette thing for awhile now. Turns out that's EXACTLY what Sir Hillary is....in the backgoround of Bill's forground ...and forever will be...*sigh* We now know pretty much everything Hillary said in that interview wasn't true, but was rather meant to get Bill in the White House. Gee, cookie-baking is fun, isn't it? (smile) <~~~Picking wiff Hillary here...sorry I had to go there. (smile) [EDIT above post..(smile)] ~~~~>Sir Hillary Rodham Clinton's Reaction to Monica Lewinsky scandal Dick Morris and Eileen McGann said that Sir Hillary Clinton "loudly defended Bill... and arranged for attacks on Monica Lewinsky... when she knew the complete and sordid truth." Loll...what a cookie baker that Hillary is...!! OK, Ok...it's out of my system, alright?  qout;"Only a few things are really important." -- Marie Dressler |

I thought she said that it was a "vast right wing conspiracy"  "Vast right-wing conspiracy" was a phrase used by 'Sir Hillary' Rodham Clinton in 1998 in defense of her husband President Bill Clinton and his administration during the Lewinsky scandal, characterizing the Lewinsky charges as the latest in a long, organized, collaborative series of charges by Clinton's political enemies. It has since come to be used derisively against some who accuse right wing political figures of wrongdoing. Allegations that Bill Clinton had an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, and then lied about it under oath, first made national headlines on January 17, 1998, when the story was picked up by The Drudge Report. Despite swift denials from President Clinton, the clamor for answers grew louder. On January 27, 1998, Hillary Clinton appeared on NBC's The Today Show, in an interview with Matt Lauer. Matt Lauer: "You have said, I understand, to some close friends, that this is the last great battle, and that one side or the other is going down here." Hillary Clinton: "Well, I don't know if I've been that dramatic. That would sound like a good line from a movie. But I do believe that this is a battle. I mean, look at the very people who are involved in this — they have popped up in other settings. This is — the great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president." Hillary Clinton later claimed she was referring to the Arkansas Project.[citation needed] On The Today Show Hillary Clinton said the attacks on her husband's presidency—specifically the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which had just surfaced, but also the campaign finance scandal, Travelgate, Clinton v. Jones and Whitewater scandals—were used for political gain by the Republican party. This brought out much discussion of whether these enemies were real or whether she was channeling the famously paranoid Richard Nixon.[Ummm...Ummm...Ummm....] Hillary Clinton's allegations included attacks against independent counsel Kenneth Starr, whom she claimed leaked information damaging to her husband. The New York Times broke the story on the Whitewater Scandal in 1992 after one of its own reporters followed up on an Arkansas paper's coverage.[citation needed] The NYT began its investigation with the Madison Guaranty file at the Arkansas Securities Department. By September, the FBI—under Janet Reno—was investigating Jim and Susan McDougal, Madison Guaranty, and Whitewater Development Corporation. The next year, nine criminal referrals relating to Whitewater hit the US Attorney's office and FBI in Little Rock. Three defendants—David Hale, Charles Matthews, and Eugene Fitzhugh—were indicted for fraud relating to Whitewater. By January of 1994 Clinton himself requested that Reno appoint a regulatory independent counsel for the Whitewater investigation, and Reno named Robert Fiske as independent counsel. Kenneth Starr, whom conspiracy buffs routinely accuse of trying to "get Clinton", wasn't appointed independent counsel until after Vince Foster's suicide in August. It wasn't until July, two and a half years after the news of Whitewater broke, that Congress held hearings on Whitewater; the Democrats, from 1992–1994, had refused to do so while they held the majority. Troopergate purportedly involved four Arkansas state troopers being employed by William Clinton to solicit sexual activities on his behalf. The four troopers later accepted money for the inclusion of their testimony in a book on the scandal; this monetary payoff has often been held up as proof that Troopergate was spun from whole cloth by Republican activists.bOne of the troopers was convicted in lying to the FBI in 2005 in an unrelated incident. The sexual harassment suit filed by Paula Jones against William Clinton has often been derided on basis of the source of her legal funding, much of which came from Republican activists. It is claimed the Jones case did not warrant an independent prosecutor David Brock, a conservative-turned-liberal pundit, has said he was once a party to an effort to dredge up a scandal against Clinton. In 1993 Brock, then of the American Spectator, was the first to report Paula Jones' claims. As Brock explained in Blinded by the Right, after learning more about the events and conservative payments surrounding Paula Jones he personally apologized to the Clintons. He documented his experience in Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative, wherein he alleged that Arkansas state troopers had taken money in exchange for testimony against Clinton which Brock had published in a previous book. Adam Curtis also discusses the concept in his documentary series The Power of Nightmares. Brock has confirmed Clinton's claim that there was a "Right wing conspiracy" to smear her husband, quibbling only with the characterization of it as "vast", since Brock contends that it was orchestrated mainly by a few powerful people. Claims have also been made against Republican supporter and billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, whom former Clinton White House Counsel Lanny Davis once claimed was using his money "to destroy a president of the United States." Scaife claims to be public about his political spending. CNN stated in a study the news outlet conducted on Scaife, "If it's a conspiracy, it's a pretty open one." Hillary Clinton later said in her 2003 autobiography that, "Looking back, I see that I might have phrased my point more artfully, but I stand by the characterization of Starr's investigation [regardless of the truth about Lewinsky]." Moreover, by 2007 Clinton was saying in her presidential campaign appearances that the vast right-wing conspiracy was back, citing such cases as the 2002 New Hampshire Senate election phone jamming scandal. As proof of Bill Clinton's affair and subsequent perjury came to light, the irony of Hillary's personal attack on his accusers led to the popular use of her term in an ironic context. In 2004, conservative lawyer Mark W. Smith wrote the Official Handbook of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, which came with a "membership card" that made its owner an "official member of the VRWC." A number of entrepreneurs are selling VRWC merchandise. Similarly, a number of newspaper, magazine, and website articles have played on the phrase. ~~~>Rush Limbaugh, radio talk show host and political pundit, has referred to his fan base as the "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" and himself as "Mr. Big" of the VRWC. To taunt liberals further, he even went as far as distributing coffee mugs imprinted with "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy". QubeTV has the slogan "Starring The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" on its website's masthead. Darby Conley (cartoonist for the comic 'Get Fuzzy') produced a comic where Bucky Katt used the line "It's a right wing conspiracy!" then his compadre Satchel says "I wish I was in a vast chicken wing conspiracy" ************* A "vast right wing conspiracy" my 'astray', KORN. She...as stated above...a vast chicken wing conspiracy.  "Only a few things are really important." -- Marie Dressler

On another note... Persectued or Paranoid?A look at the motley characters behind Hillary Clinton's "vast right-wing conspiracy"By Walter Kirn (TIME, February 9) -- It's said that mortal enemies, in time, come to resemble each other. Perhaps that explains how Hillary Clinton, a staff lawyer on the House Judiciary Committee during Watergate, is sounding a tiny bit like Tricky Dick himself. As she sought to defend her beleaguered husband last week, Mrs. Clinton charged that accusations against him, of adultery and perjury, are the invention of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" determined to undo the results of the past two elections. What's more, the alleged conspirators -- a multitalented cabal including not only Kenneth Starr and Paula Jones but also Senators, judges, publishers, Internet gossips, religious leaders and at least one literary agent angling for a percentage of the action -- were thought to have somehow duped the liberal national media. In a CBS interview, stuttering with fury, James Carville objected to Bryant Gumbel's skepticism toward Mrs. Clinton's conspiracy theory. "It's factual," said Carville. So what are the facts behind these accusations, and what do they add up to? A conspiracy of Clinton haters directed by some sinister Mr. Big (Jerry Falwell? Jesse Helms? That wizard of interconnectedness, Kevin Bacon?) or merely a gleeful chorus of detractors singing, for once, in perfect harmony? One scholar of conspiracy thinks he knows without even examining the evidence. Says Daniel Pipes, author of Conspiracy: How the Paranoid Style Flourishes and Where It Comes From: "It fits into a familiar pattern where people in trouble turn to a conspiracy theory." Which isn't to say that paranoids, and the Clintons, don't have real enemies -- or that some of those enemies aren't linked, sometimes in bizarre, uncanny ways. Consider the couple's current chief tormentor, independent counsel Starr. Last year, in a decision he later reversed under pressure from Republican lawmakers, Starr announced that he was leaving his job to become dean of the law and public policy schools at California's Pepperdine University. The chair Starr had set his sights on, as it happened, was endowed by a certain Richard Mellon Scaife, an archconservative Pennsylvania billionaire who also happens to publish the Pittsburgh (Pa.) Tribune-Review, a newspaper whose star reporter, Christopher Ruddy (hang in there; this pays off) is notorious for his own conspiracy theories concerning the death of Clinton officials Vincent Foster and Ron Brown. Interestingly, Scaife's billions have also bankrolled the American Spectator, the magazine that broke the Troopergate story -- the same one that first identified a certain Paula as one of Clinton's alleged romantic targets. Could Scaife be Mr. Big? It seems that among most conservatives there are only two degrees of separation from the ubiquitous philanthropist. Those who haven't taken money from him usually work with someone who has. Washington Post matriarch Katharine Graham writes in her memoir that Nixon wanted Scaife to buy the Post during the Watergate scandal. Scaife has also financed the Southeastern Legal Foundation, a backer of former FBI agent Gary Aldrich's loosely sourced, Clinton-bashing best seller Unlimited Access, and the Free Congress Foundation, which once set up a toll-free hot line for women who claimed they had been sexually harassed by President Clinton. (Please hold; your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.) Yet another Scaife pet project, the Landmark Legal Foundation, has links to James Moody, the lawyer for Linda Tripp, and -- very tangentially -- to Starr, who once represented, with Landmark, the State of Wisconsin in a school-choice lawsuit. When wandering in a labyrinth, especially one whose walls are hung with mirrors, it's difficult to follow a single thread. The field of right-wing publishing alone offers dozens of them. Consider Lucianne Goldberg, the smoky-voiced New York City literary agent and Bea Arthur act-alike who represents, among others, one Mark Fuhrman, the infamous O.J. detective. Not only did Goldberg serve in her youth as an undercover agent for Nixon during the 1972 election, and not only did she suggest that Tripp tape-record Lewinsky, but she has also been a tipster for Star, which broke the Gennifer Flowers story. According to Phil Bunton, Star's editor in chief, Goldberg came to him last fall with a sketchy version of the sex-with-an-intern tale. Star couldn't crack the story, but when it surfaced elsewhere, Bunton offered Goldberg big money for the tapes. "We made it clear that a million dollars wasn't out of the question." She turned him down, he says, demonstrating that some alleged conspirators are in it for fun, not profit. Tripp may be in it for revenge. Going back to the Foster case, when she publicly questioned furtive comings and goings in the dead man's White House office, Tripp has played an unwelcome Nancy Drew in several Clinton mysteries. Last August she leaked the story of Kathleen Willey, claiming to have seen Willey emerge all aglow and clothes disheveled from a hands-on briefing with the President. When Clinton attorney Bob Bennett dismissed Tripp as "not to be believed," she stomped off to Radio Shack and bought herself a tape recorder. Yet another Tripp-related, Goldberg-haunted subplot involves the small but mighty Regnery Publishing. Based in Washington, the house produces roughly 30 books a year, a disproportionate number of which slime the President in prose. Unlimited Access, the firm's huge best seller, comes out in paperback this month (lucky timing or evil genius?), fortified with four top-secret new chapters by former G-man Aldrich. Denunciations of the original edition reportedly spurred a sympathetic Tripp to contemplate her own book on the Clinton White House. Had she written it, she would have joined a Regnery stable that includes R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., editor of the American Spectator; detective Fuhrman, a Goldberg client; and Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, England's premier Clinton hater. Is there an ominous pattern here? No, says Regnery's associate publisher, Richard Vigilante. "Our primary relationship to conservatives," he says, "is that we're gadflies and contrarians." Perhaps the loopiest strand in the supposed conspiracy winds through the Paula Jones sexual-harassment case. Jones first made her charges at conservative PAC press conference, and they were soon promoted heavily on religious TV shows like Pat Robertson's 700 Club and Jerry Falwell's Old Time Gospel Hour. Falwell, of course, is the main promoter of the Clinton Chronicles, a crackpot video documentary that charges the First Couple with drug smuggling and links to a gangland slaying. The Rutherford Institute, which pays Jones' legal bills, once defended the right of football players at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University to pray in the end zone following touchdowns. Finally, and perhaps most damningly, the institute's director, John Whitehead, displays in his office a portrait of Bob Dylan. That's right, Bob Dylan, author of this lyric (from It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding): "But even the President of the United States/Sometimes must have to stand naked." If a survey of Clinton's accusers proves nothing else, it's that birdbrains of a feather flock together. On the alleged plot's outer edges stand the mom-and-pop entrepreneurs devoted to peddling anti-Clinton miscellany via at least a dozen Websites. Michael Rivero's Vincent Foster page invites the visitor to view a video of an actual suicide by gunshot, while the unofficial Bill Clinton home page features a doctored photograph of the President with his pants around his ankles. Then there's cybergossip Matt Drudge's controversial Drudge Report, which put the Lewinsky story on the net days before it ran in print. In a sign that Clinton's White House, like Nixon's, takes its adversaries seriously, presidential aide Sidney Blumenthal is currently suing both Drudge and America Online, which runs his column, over a false tale of domestic violence that Drudge retracted the day after it ran. Though Bill Clinton's approval ratings soared by the weekend, he owed no thanks to his wife's blame laying. In a TIME/CNN poll conducted last week, only a third of those surveyed agreed with Mrs. Clinton's conspiracy theory. Meanwhile, the mainstream media dealt with the vast plot of which it was allegedly a part by rolling its collective eyes. As Mrs. Clinton's inflammatory sound bite burned its way through the welter of cable-TV shows, Internet forums and talk-radio programs that are to the Lewinsky scandal what the Pony Express was to the Wild West, a quick consensus formed: the White House either believed in the conspiracy (a symptom of Nixonian delusion) or it was engaging in a diversion (a sign of desperation). Janet Reno and the Washington Post, both key players in the current scandal, hardly seem like reactionary schemers. Possibly to disguise his leading role in the cabal, a chuckling Rush Limbaugh offered listeners a Right-Wing Conspiracy coffee mug. Shared interests, cross-referenced Rolodexes and incestuous employment histories do not, of course, a conspiracy make. Professional wrestlers are probably at least as tight a bunch as the obsessive Clinton haters. Still, there is one place where the vast conspiracy may well exist: in the Clintons' minds. Remember the hundreds of FBI reports on influential Republicans that mysteriously appeared in the White House in 1996? The cloak of unnecessary secrecy thrown over Mrs. Clinton's health-care task force? Indeed, so obsessed is this White House with its enemies -- real and imagined, great and small -- that in July 1995 it prepared a 331-page report exposing their alleged machinations. In the tradition of Spiro Agnew's nattering nabobs of negativism, the report was titled The Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce. It purported to prove that ideological reporters like Ruddy, acting in concert with Internet muckrakers and the British tabloids, were behind every scandal from Nannygate to Filegate. As the Lewinsky scandal unfolds, however, the blanks in the crossword puzzle are filling up and starting to spell intrigue. Last fall, around the time that Tripp began recording Lewinsky's anxious chitchat, an anonymous female tipster left three messages on the Rutherford Institute's answering machine describing an illicit romance between Lewinsky and the President. Asked about the informer's identity, Goldberg pleads ignorance. "I do not know. And I do not know if it was Tripp," she says. No, it wasn't, says Tripp, through lawyer Moody. One last mystery. How did Moody, a conservative with links to the matrix of blandly named foundations supported by angels like Scaife, come to represent Tripp in the first place? Tripp, remember, portrays herself as an apolitical civil servant and reluctant girl detective. Re-enter matchmaker Goldberg, stage right. She made a call to someone, who in turn made a call to conservative New York lawyer George Conway (a backstage force in Jones' Supreme Court case), who made a call to yet another someone, who recommended Moody. Why the frenzied, circuitous round robin when Tripp already had a lawyer, chosen for her by the White House? Because she didn't trust him. Tripp, says Goldberg, was "totally paranoid." Like the flu and like Starr's subpoenas, it seems to be going around. --Reported by Edward Barnes and Andrea Sachs/New York and Jay Branegan/Washington "Only a few things are really important." -- Marie Dressler

Korn, et. al..... In terms of the election this Fall,...(smile) My vote is supposed to be private. But I will give you a hint: Change. Also... Sir Hillary Rodham Clinton has no independence of identity apart from her husband... Hillary's been riding on the coattails of her former President husband Bill...thus, how else could she have been elected to the senate from the State of New York? New York loved Bill. ...loll...and did him a favor. She never held an elected position before. Heck, Hillary's never run anything in her life like a governor of a state has! Her performance as the wannabe health czar alone was a disaster. thus, Hillary doesn't know the meaning of governing in the Sunshine. Living in Bill's shadow ...as the governors wife and as the presidents wife... won't fill in the blanks of any job application. But, Hillary's resume` may contain this information: Take Note-- ["For thirtysomething years I was the wife of a womanizing, philandering buffoon of a sex addict that I'd hit, scream and throw lamps at whenever I heard about another one of his "bimbo eruptions"! I was the employer of private investigators who would tail Bill to see with whom he was copulating with that morning, afternoon, evening, or night. When I'd get the names of the women he was servicing, I'd order them destroyed. Some of those women went public with their accounts of having had sex with my husband, so I'd direct my private investigators to harrass, intimidate and otherwise scare the wits out of those bimbos. I'm also experienced at handling the press. I'm extremely skilled at disseminating information that may or may not be true. I know how to skew my response so that I don't have to honestly answer a question. My favorite response to being questioned about all the scandals that occurred in my husbands White House administration was the "vast right-wing conspiracy" that was obviously out to get my husband and me. That would get'em every time. And now that I'm in line for the presidency of the USA,(smile..wink...wink...), I just tell everybody what I think that they want to hear. It works every time."] Under yet another Clinton administration,(God forbid..) the IRS could very well be used to silence Hillary's opponents just as it was used by Bill Clinton to harass and intimidate 900 hapless tax payers who'd been singled out for political reasons. Could it be that Hillary would ABUSE POWER ...just as her feckless former president husband Bill did? Does a junk yard dog have fleas? (Scratch your own head as you answer this question, huh?...) The next presidential administration is going to be faced with the threat of EXTREMELY DIFFICULT world conditions. With the threat of the expandsion of war in the Middle East, with Iran's president threatening to wipe Israel off the map, with that of North Korea launching missiles willy nilly, and with the dictator-in-charge of Venezuela foaming at the mouth with his newly acquired power, we're going to need a strong Commander-in-Chief... who won't have to consult a focus group before going toe-to-toe with an imminent threat to the safety and security of the citizen's of the USA! We're gonna need someone who would have courage in order to have Bin Laden 'taken out' when he has the opportunity to do so served up to him on a silver platter. Hillary... vascillates all over the place regarding the war in Iraq. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. Hillary did not vote to provide the finances the American military needs. Her need to pander to the anti-war left of her party superceded the immediate needs of the men and women in the military who are faithfully serving the United States of America! From this day forward, could Hillary face even one of the men or women who are serving on the front lines and ~HONESTLY~ tell them that she believes in what they're doing to protect and defend the United States? * * * Ah... That would be, I believe, a no-brainer! The evidence requires a verdict. (whispering here: Obama....) qout;"Only a few things are really important." -- Marie Dressler
