Pandering Hillary

April 23, 2007

Captain’s Quarters has a post that caught my eye in the latest example of “Hillary will say anything” to be president.

The more we learn about the Rutgers team – the more we learn that they are certainly poised and classy. Good for them.

The more we continue to learn about New York Senator Hillary Clinton, the more we learn that she is an empty, unprincipled political hack. What a shame. A little depth and integrity would go a long ways at this point if she is to ever rescue her bid to be president. That is, if her effort can be rescued.

What a world we live in when the likes of an Al Gore running for president for the Democratic ticket is starting to look like a reasonable alternative. At least he knows the ropes. Senator Barack Obama is a clueless neophyte; way out of his element and Hillary seems to have forgotten that she is actually bright and has some depth – if she could ever do something about her perceived character, integrity and the perception that she is a pandering political pariah.

Hillary Pandering To The Pimp Culture

Hillary Clinton takes two shots over her involvement in the degrading language of gangster rap. Last night, the women's basketball team at Rutgers blew off a meeting with their neighboring state's Senator, claiming Imus fatigue and a renewed sense of perspective on victimhood after the Virginia Tech shootings.

This morning, Colbert King blasts Hillary for taking almost a million dollars from a fundraiser hosted by a man who gets rich on lyrics that would make Don Imus blush.

First, the Rutgers team passed on a chance to meet with Hillary and hear her sympathy for their victimhood:

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton finally dropped by Rutgers to meet with the school's women's basketball coach -- but the players themselves skipped the half-hour meeting, citing their studies and Imus fatigue.

[…]

King has Hillary pegged. She can't castigate Imus for talking about women in the same language as Timbaland while taking almost a million dollars from the rapper. The fact that she tried to wheedle her way into a meeting with the target of Imus' insult while getting funding from Timbaland makes her the worst kind of hypocrite -- the kind that makes money on the practices she derides.

UPDATE: Bruce Kesler has further thoughts.

UPDATE II: Adjoran had prior thoughts at Wizbang.
