Sex and funds trial damages Hillary hopes

[emad]

The scandal of an ex-aide charged with lying about Hollywood cash has set back the senator's White House ambitions, reports Paul Harris in New York

It all sounds horribly familiar. Financial skulduggery, calls for a Senate investigation and the whiff of a sex scandal caught on tape. And all of it whirling around the Clinton name.

A court case involving the fundraising activities of Senator Hillary Clinton's former campaign finance chief threatens to put a time-bomb under the former First Lady's presidential ambitions.

The case in which David Rosen, 40, is denying three charges of making false statements to the Federal Election Commission has opened the lid on an allegedly murky world of Democratic fundraising, FBI wiretapping and salacious gossip about prostitutes for senior figures in the party.

Clinton, prosecutors stress, is not personally involved in the trial, which began last week in Los Angeles district court, but the case is threatening to derail her preparations for a bid for the White House in three years' time. Even if Rosen is cleared, the case is likely to provide ammunition for her conservative critics.

6. Hillary can now never be Prez. She has done something terrible

according to Rush:

She walked too slow from the Capitol building during the 5/11 plane scare.


He said she just strolled out of the building.

I am so scandelized over this stroll that I will not be able to sleep tonight.

Too bad for her. She had my vote - but not anymore. I will not vote for a person who strolls.



Rush is the most vicious person on this planet. NOT Sarcasm.

7. Rush is scarred to debate High School kids

Rush is a afraid to debate Evanston Township High school students because he commented that "don't know anything about World War II" and "they've probably never heard the name Adolf Hitler"
