On Foreign Policy: Alienated Jewish voters by kissing Mrs. Arafat

Hillary faced a problem with Jewish voters after kissing Suha Arafat, the wife of Yasir Arafat, shortly after the first Lady of the Palestine Liberation Army charged Israelis with using poison gas on Palestinians. The first lady of the United States explained that she hadn’t understood the translation of Madam Arafat’s remarks. When the actual and quite clear translation was made public and the excuse evaporated, she retreated to a mushier explanation, and then silence.

On Principles & Values: $8M book advance not vetted by Senate ethics panel

On December 15, Simon and Schuster prevailed upon her to accept an advance of $8 million for her book about her White House years. Hillary’s $8 million was by far the largest such advance offered to any government official. Mrs. Clinton did not run the book advance by the Senate ethics panel before accepting it.

On Principles & Values: Claimed no role in Travelgate firings

The world would surely love to hear a forthright explanation of Hillary’s role in the firing of the White House Travel Office employees early in the Clintons first term, the action that became known as Travelgate. She responded under oath that she had “no role” in the firings and repeated the story to Ken Starr’s investigators. But the facts were to the contrary.

On Principles & Values: NYC offices costs taxpayers $514,000 per year

The posh offices of Hillary Rodham Clinton snapped up on the Upper East Side of Manhattan will cost taxpayers in excess of $514,148 per year. The tab is more than double the amount paid by Hillary’s fellow Democrat Charles Schumer, whose offices are in the same neighborhood. No one should have been surprised that when it came to selecting her office, Hillary pushed the envelope to its absolute limit and squeezed every available dime from the American taxpayers.

On Principles & Values: Accused of failing to disclose gifts as First Lady

On a state visit the king of Morocco gave Hillary five dresses, including a gold lace dress she was seen wearing. None of the dresses appear on the disclosure forms. Neither does a selection of handbags from designer Judith Lieber. The bags were worth more than $10,000 dollars.
