the Washington Post should be ashamed of itself. what a shoddy cheap excuse for journalism.
Clintons and controversy: The circus is back in town
The circus is back in town.
Hillary Rodham Clinton has not yet even announced that she is running for president, but the spectacle of the Clinton White House years is unfolding again, touched off by the controversy over her practice of using a private e-mail account, rather than an official one, while she was secretary of state.
Her defense, which was simply that it was more convenient to do it that way, is unlikely to satisfy her critics or stop the questions.
Clinton’s campaign-in-waiting had long planned for Tuesday to be an intentional echo of one of her most inspirational moments — a commemoration at the United Nations of the 20th anniversary of a speech that Clinton delivered at a conference in Beijing.
It was there that the then-first lady had declared that “it is no longer acceptable to discuss women’s rights as separate from human rights” and began to lay out the premise that would be the hallmark of her tenure as a 21st-century secretary of state.
