Come to think of it, what is Hillary an expert of?

Oh, now I remember Hillary is a scandal expert, having participated in so many in Arkansas and the White House.

Hillary Clinton AWOL from Body Armor Hearing

After Sen. Hillary Clinton went on TV and blamed Bush administration "incompetence" for alleged inadequacies in body armor supplied to U.S. troops fighting in Iraq, Senate Armed Service Committee chairman John Warner agreed to hold hearings.

But when Warner gaveled the proceedings into session on Wednesday, body armor expert Hillary was nowhere to be found.

"Senator Clinton had a long planned day of events with her constituents in New York and wasn't able to attend the short-notice briefing attended by the chairman and two members of the minority," Hillary spokesman Philippe Reines told the Washington Times.

"Her defense aide attended, and she's going to continue to work hard to make sure that our men and women in uniform get the resources they need," he explained.

Mrs. Clinton did, however, make time to attend a Children's Defense Fund luncheon on Thursday - along with Harry "Bush is a terrorist" Belafonte - although she was careful not be photographed with bellicose baritone.

On Tuesday Mrs. Clinton blasted the White House on the body armor issue, telling ABC's "Good Morning America" that it was "unacceptable and unforgivable" that President Bush had failed to protect the troops.

"Of all the issues that he should be focused on, it is providing appropriate protection to our men and women in uniform," the 2008 presidential hopeful complained.

"You know, the president speaks out strongly, and even harshly from time to time, about issues that he thinks are important. Let's hear him speak out about protecting the men and women who wear the uniform of our country."

If Mrs. Clinton had shown up for the body armor hearing she called for, she would have heard one military man after another explain that her complaints were all wet.

Army Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Sorenson, for instance, testified that the Pentagon had tried to beef up body armor, but "in many cases we found [the troops] didn't wear it because it was too heavy."
"We must not burden our soldiers with weight to the point that they become ineffective and susceptible to other dangers," explained Maj. Gen. Stephen Speakes, the Army's director of force development.

Marine Sgt. Jared McNerney actually modeled the kind of up-armored uniform Clinton indicated she preferred. But Sgt. McNerney explained that if he was forced to carry that much weight, it could get him killed.

"I'm climbing walls, I'm jumping through windows," McNerney complained. "What I need most is mobility." With the heavier gear, he said, "I can barely extend my arms over my head."

Ms. Hillary was a "victim" of the ARKANSAS PROJECT....which was a huge multimillion-dollar dirty tricks operation against the Clintons.

Read BLINDED BY THE RIGHT, by ex-conservative David Brock..very interesting read...

Brock says THE ARKANSAS PROJECT was a means to try and implicate Clinton in a crime...consisting of angry, greedy, Clinton haters...and if they could somehow "trap" him into lying they could impeach him (no matter that the "lie" had nothing to do with national security, govermnet corruption, or anything else of import).

If he could just lie about something stupid like for example, his sex life...then BAM! They had him!

This is getting off the subject, but I did want to address the "scandal" part of your post

Long before Monica Lewinsky came on the scene, this whole gang who were part of the ARKANSAS PROJECT had elaborate plans to somehow get Clinton impeached; digging, searching, spending tons of money, and in some cases inventing stories, to make sure their project came to fruiition....

So intense was the hatred an determination...

Clinton's "Monica" caper gave them the perfect opportunity, since they got nowhere with their Whitewater thing, their Vince Foster murder thing, and even their Paula Jones and Gennifer Flowers thing...and they tried damned hard...

(boy I did get off subject, didn't I?)

Why don't we start with Cattle-gate...a bribery scheme in which Tyson Foods paid a $100,000 bribe to the Clintons to permit Tyson Foods to further pollute the waterways of Arkansas. Gee, everyone benefited; Tyson got their waiver to pollute, the Clintons got their bribe but whoops, that futures trader lost his license for participating in what is known as pooling....an illegal form of trading.

And then Rainbow, there was Travel-gate...a scheme whereby Hillary accused Billy Dale and other employees of the White House travel office of misappropriating federal funds. Reason....Hillary wanted her pals to take over the office and wanted the other staff out. To show the absolute shrewishness of this woman, I would point out that these travel office employees served at the pleasure of the President. All that was necessary was for Commander Corruption to terminate them. Instead, Hillary accused them of a federal crime. A jury acquitted Billy Dale in less than 20 minutes of deliberation.

And then Rainbow, there was File-gate...a scheme to get FBI files on prominent Republicans into the White House for Hillary's perusal. It's illegal as hell Rainbow and particularly illegal since Hillary was not a member of the American government and had absolutely no authority to order Craig Livingston to requisition them in the first place.

There are other "Gates" too Rainbow and they will all come out for an examination by American voters...if Hillary becomes the dimocrat candidate for President.

The so called smartest woman in America seems like a total idiot to me. A vindictive shrew who isn't fit to hold any elective office.

Gee Rainbow, I didn't get around to discussing Health-gate, Subpoena-gate, White Water, Castle Grande, Billing-gate or the systematic looting of Madison Savings and Loan...an Arkansas bank covered by the FDIC....but I will, when the time is right.

My freinds Mother was managing at a ritzy historical restaurant around here called The beekman Arms Inn [their claim to fame is the fact that Gearge Washington stayed there alot during winter months in preperation for his asualts agains the Kings army] ,

so they get all kinds of uper society personalitys, including federal and local polliticians for patrons.

They had the pleasure of serving Senator Clinton one day shortly after her very sketchy victory of election.

Lets see, if I remember correctly,, she sent 2 different waitress's into the kitchen crying, gave everyone at the tables around her an atitude if they tried to chat with her and congradulate her, continued insulting the wait staff, and critising the food [somethign tells me Miss Clinton got a little extra seasoning in her dinner that night !],, then when my budys Mother was asked to see her- she started to degrade her , and the restaurant she was managing...
