More to Learn About Hillary

How revealing is this: According to this piece on NRO by Byron York, Hillary Clinton has had no problem with secret warrantless wiretapping -- at least when it comes to subduing "bimbo eruptions" and helping her husband win the presidency.

When it's to keep the country safe from Al Qaeda operatives, however, it's apparently a whole different story.

After a discussion of the two newest Clinton biographies, York concludes:

In the end, the impression that both books leave is that Mrs. Clinton has had two crowning achievements in her career. One was in 1992, when she fought off allegations about her husband’s womanizing and helped him win the presidency. The other was in 1998, when she fought off allegations about her husband’s womanizing and helped him stay in office. The rest? It’s a mixed bag at best.

That's always been my sense, in part because Hillary's friends have felt it so necessary to tell us just how brilliant and spectacular she is in every way. Most of the time, if someone is that great, their friends don't need to ram it down Americans' throats. They'll see it for themselves.
