Overstated Claims of Experience? Maybe according to a NYT Article on Hillarys WH records

[Bigleaf]

The long-awaited documents, released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request and a lawsuit, show her daily activities for the 2,888 days that her husband was president, from her meetings with foreign dignitaries to designing the White House Christmas card. In some ways, they provide support for Mrs. Clinton’s assertion that she played a central public and private role in the policies of the Clinton Administration.

But some of the documents also serve to conceal much more than they reveal. There are redactions — blacked-out sections — on more than 4,400 pages, and on many days there is an entry for a “private meeting” that gives no clue as to whom she met or what the meeting was about.

The documents offer no support for her claims, made during the presidential campaign, that she helped to negotiate the Irish peace accords or facilitated the flow of refugees in the Balkans. Neither is there evidence in them to back up her claim that she helped pass the Family and Medical Leave Act, the first legislation Mr. Clinton signed as president. The legislation, sponsored by Senator Christopher J. Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut, sailed through Congress and landed on Mr. Clinton’s desk 10 days after he was inaugurated. Indeed, on the day Mr. Clinton signed the bill into law, Feb. 5, 1993, there is no indication on that day’s calendar that she attended.

The dry records carry all the emotional punch of a factory worker’s time card, showing where she was for much of her eight years in the White House but telling nothing about what she was saying, thinking or doing.

1. What the hell

I thought Hillary voluntarily put those records out there. You mean she was freaking sued? The media is going to have a hay day with this as now they can roast both Dem candidates. Notice how McCain is getting a free pass on all his crap.

3. Exactly. All the more reason why I wish we had our nominee already.

I mean, we do, mathmatically. But wouldn't it be nice to start bringing the shit to McCain?

Eight Months of reminding the nation of Eight Years, and we could get McCain down to 25%.

2. There, she goes again. Hillary has a lifetime of experience...

...as compulsive truthiness teller.
