Quit trying to confuse the issue with facts!

Why do you hate women so much? And why aren't you talking about Rezco and NAFTAgate? And why do you hate women?

haven't you heard

Do as I say, not as I do!

Yawn.

As the old saying goes, if she's surrounding herself with people like Wolfson and Penn now, what will her administration look like? (answer: it will be deeply, deeply creepy).

"Lazio eventually allowed reporters to examine his returns in late August, three months after he first promised to do so."

So does that mean that he promised to release them in May, and then reneged? And that's why the Clinton camp was harassing him? That would be a little different than what Obama is doing to Clinton. She has made clear, from the start, that she would release her tax returns when she's the nominee. She's even conceded and agreed to release them around April 15th. Where's the issue?

if clinton should make public her finances, why not you? the prez should be squeaky clean, but the citizens can dud the tax man, support a secret mistress, sponsor a political hit squad?

sorry, politicians can't be better than the people who vote for them, and are often worse.

"If he says he can release them in 15 minutes, why doesn't he?" and comment "The people of New York have a right to know what he's hiding. Rick Lazio's 15 minutes are up -- he should stop making excuses and come clean with New Yorkers."

Clinton herself also criticized Lazio; on at least two points during the campaign she called his delay "frankly disturbing."

**************************************************************

so, yeah, she was right..it is frankly disturbing! Funny how statements like that can come back to bite you in the ass.

an "Uncle Man" suit? Do we mean Uncle Sam?

Uh, yes. Yes, we do. Thanks.

Nothing wrong with pointing out contrasting statements during different campaigns. *That*, at least, is fair game. Thanks for the info.

So, what did Lazio's tax return show? I'm just curious: Was he in fact hiding something? That should be in the article, Alex.

Why aren't reporters asking Clinton and Wolfson about this blatant display of hypocrisy?

Too afraid you'll be called meanies, I'm guessing, by the Hillary camp, which has successfully scared you into timidity.

I actually had a quick image of Jack Black when I read that--you know in his SCHOOL OF ROCK where he taught the kids about The Man? Somehow I sort of thought you really meant Uncle Man--in that vein.

Never mind.

...and also, I read an article earlier where her henchman said Obama was like Ken Starr! ever the victim, huh Sen. Clinton?

"Clinton was asked later at a news conference how she thinks Obama and Starr are alike. She said, "I'm not going to respond to that," and turned to take another question."

She's a spineless worm! How anyone can reward this "lady" with a vote is beyond my ability to comprehend.

Don't reward snivelling cowards!

"In 2000, Clinton was still first lady, and vying for an open Senate seat in New York with then-Congressman Rick Lazio. Lazio entered the race in May of 2000, and was ALMOST IMMEDIATELY pressured to release his tax returns by the press and by the Clinton campaign. NOR WAS THE CLINTON CAMP PLACATED BY LAZIO'S PROMISE THAT HE WOULD DO SO BY THE END OF THAT SUMMER. Instead, a man in an Uncle Man suit dubbed "Tax Man" followed Lazio to campaign events, and Howard Wolfson -- now the communications director of Clinton's presidential campaign -- showed up at a Lazio stop in Harlem to present Lazio with Clinton's property tax bill, ask, "If he says he can release them in 15 minutes, why doesn't he?" and comment "The people of New York have a right to know what he's hiding. Rick Lazio's 15 minutes are up -- HE SHOULD STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND COME CLEAN WITH NEW YORKERS. (the caps are mine)"

It means that Clinton thought it was appropriate to hound him from the beginning about releasing his taxes. It means that she is using a different standard for herself than she applies to other politicians, especially political opponents. The issue is her integrity and whether she actually means what she says when she takes a "principled" stand on something. The issue is with an easy to research long history of saying whatever is political convenient, can she beat McCain and his reputation as a straight talking moderate?

Sauce for the goose apparently doesn't go well with gander. The Klinton Kamp is looking more and more like the "you don't need to know, just trust us" Bushit Administration. If you don't have anything to hide, Hillster, why no disclosure? And how 'bout the phone logs for all your "experience" as first lady, if you were so fookin' important. Show us what ya got, Rodham. Not much. At least Evita had talent of her own.

Quoting your entry "In 2000, Clinton was still first lady, and vying for an open Senate seat in New York with then-Congressman Rick Lazio. Lazio entered the race in May of 2000..."

So...April 15th (which last I looked is filing day unless it falls on a Sunday or federal holiday in which case you typically get to file a day later) is before May. And Clinton's current return is due on April 15th. And in the meantime, Hillary has to file public disclosures of income because she holds a seat in the US Senate.

Does anyone think there will be some sort of smoking gun in Hillary Clinton's tax returns? Really? And if there is, wouldn't the recent pledge to release these returns around April 15th when the most current return is due amount to political suicide? That would give opponents a week to comb through her tax filing with a fine tooth come, devoting as much staff as it took to do so, and hammer her relentlessly in the week before the Pennsylvania primary.

On this "issue", there seems to be no there, there.

maybe she's hiding the 1.2 million in illegal campaign donations.
