Tricky Dick

We often think that Hillary Clinton would not be where she is without her marriage to Bubba, a fair ponderance. But I’m wondering where she would be without Richard Nixon. It was Richard Nixon who started the health insurance industry.
It was Richard Nixon who opened China, where later, she and her husband got all that lovely money. It was during the Watergate investigation that she got close to Bubba. It was during that investigation of illegal wiretapping that she researched every inch and angle of the impeachment process.

Queen Hillary apparently listened in on illegally taped conversations her husband’s political rivals had. Not only is that stated in a new book, but it was also outlined in the “Primary Colors” movie, making it at least two sources. I don’t agree that she should get a pass on that. I don’t care if those rivals had been discussing political strategy regarding her husband’s girlfriends. I don’t see her as an innocent bride, emptying her husband’s pockets in preparation for the dry cleaner, finding a woman’s phone number and dialing it. I don’t agree that this is any way on par with a mother going into her husband’s wallet, just to get cash for their daughter to buy her weekly school lunch ticket, and accidentally finding a receipt for a florist, or the Hyatt. She was not eavesdropping on her husband, she was eavesdropping on a political rival.

Nobody ever accused Richard Nixon of personally breaking in and planting listening devices, and I don’t see any distinction between what Richard Nixon did, that cost him the presidency, and what Hillary Clinton did. Why shouldn’t it cost her something?
