Hillary Clinton Fibs About Clinton Library’s “Openness”

Ken McCracken • November 14, 2007

Here’s Hillary Clinton talking about the Clinton Presidential Library with Larry King:

That’s one of the things the library really stands for. It physically stands for openness with all the glass and the light. But he wants it to be a place where people come and really study. And everything’s going to be available.

Here’s the reality about the Clinton Library:

“Nearly three years after the Clinton Library opened–and more than 21 months after its trove of records became subject to the Freedom of Information Act–barely one half of 1 percent of the 78 million pages of documents and 20 million e-mail messages at the federally funded facility are public, according to the National Archives.” (Michael Isikoff, “Papers? I Don’t See Any Papers,” Newsweek, 10/29/07)

The Clinton Library is particularly mum when it comes to papers dealing with Hillary’s involvement in her husband’s administration. It seems that many papers regarding that time in Hillary’s career won’t be made public until after the 2008 election.
But don’t worry, people. Bill Clinton is on the case. In order to expedite the release of Hillary’s paperwork he’s asked to review each and every document before it is released to the public. Because that will make things go faster, I guess.
And, of course, ensure that nothing too embarrassing for his wife gets out.

Neither Hillary’s nor Laura’s candidacy has anything to do with the unreasonableness of the expectation

Except that “co-President” Hillary is running for President!

fucking dipshit.

I know you are, but what am I ?
If that’s how you

” express yourself as an adult, without vulgarities”

then what a maroon you must be!

I can’t wait to read all 100% of the Bush administration’s records in 2010.

Is it true, dannyboy, that you once stared at a can of orange juice for hours because it said “concentrate“?

If Laura runs for President, asshole, be sure to ask!

Neither Hillary’s nor Laura’s candidacy has anything to do with the unreasonableness of the expectation that so many records can be archived in less than 30 years, much less 8. They’re still transcribing the Nixon tapes fer crissakes. The National Archives doesn’t have the budget that Halliburton gets.

And learn how to express yourself as an adult, without vulgarities, fucking dipshit.

Dang! I thought this was the the thread where Bill the Shill bragged that Rasmussen was the penultimate poll but “of course, national polls don’t count!”
When I stumbled across Rasmussen saying:

On the Republican side, Giuliani is on top of the national polls but Mitt Romney leads in New Hampshire and Iowa.

So, Shill, let me get this straight! Rasmussen is to be taken as gospel, except in national polls where your boy Romney doesn’t do as well?

No, you’re right! I should have interpreted your equivalence of the Clinton’s not producing relevant records of Hillary’s participation seven years after the end of his Presidency with the expectation that George Bush would not produce ALL of his after two! (Did anybody say “ALL” or is that just your straw man?)
I should have, in fact, attributed the comment to your inability to add and subtract single digits rather than a snot-nosed attitude towards Bush.
My apologies!

If she is allowed to get away with her lies, then we have truly lost the language called The Truth.

But Bill Clinton’s lawyer will have the final say on whether 10,000 pages of Hillary Clinton’s private White House “daily schedules” will be immediately released to the groups who requested her calendar under the Freedom of Information Act.

The National Archives doesn’t have the budget that Halliburton gets.

Thanks for the gratuitous reference to Halliburton!
Again, how could I have mistaken your colossally ignorant statement, seeming to give cover to the Clintons while taking a shot at “W”, couched in sarcasm for something an asshole would say? Some mysteries may never be solved!

Apparently, Hillary, and those on the left who support her candidacy, would have us believe that while her years in the White House as First Lady and “co-President” make her the most qualified candidate, the actual details of those years of experience, of what she did and what she didn’t do during that time should not be made available. Instead, we should simple take her, and Bill, at their word.

In essence, our electoral process, primaries, speeches, interviews, debates, etc., amount to one gigantic job interview, and if the process is long and harsh and tedious it ought to be. Like the other candidates, she is applying for the most difficult and important job in the world.

And we are simply supposed to take her word on what she has done, what she is capable of, and what experiences she has had???

In other words, we, her prospective employers, aren’t supposed to check her experiences or her past references, but instead rely totally on her word and the word of her husband, a serial liar and perjurer?

Yeah, right!

Okay, if they don’t have the budget of Halliburton, (or The Denny’s in Little Rock) maybe they could concentrate, not on the 78 million pages of documents, but on the dozens or hundreds that have already been requested years ago under the Freedom of Information Act?

This seems to be part of a pattern.. starting with her thesis and then the continuous postponing of her public library documents. If it’s public why does any of it need to be gone through .. besides can’t he check it out the same way we the public are required to do?
I say, “get in line, Billy boy”
