My loyalty lies with the Republic and not any particular individual, even if as much as it saddens me to say this, that individual is Hillary Clinton…
From the IHT
A developer in New York state donated $100,000 to former President Bill Clinton’s foundation in November 2004, around the same time that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton helped secure millions of dollars in federal assistance for the businessman’s mall project.
Hillary Clinton helped enact legislation allowing the developer, Robert Congel, to use tax-exempt bonds to help finance the construction of the Destiny USA entertainment and shopping complex, an expansion of the Carousel Center in Syracuse.
She also helped secure a provision in a highway bill that set aside $5 million for Destiny USA roadway construction.
The bill with the tax-free bonds provision became law in October 2004, weeks before the donation, and the highway bill with the set-aside became law in August 2005, about nine months after the donation.
Even though it can be argued to infinity that no “pay for play” was involved in this, to me, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s usually a duck…
I wonder if we’ll have another Bill Richardson moment… Hopefully the confirmation hearings she has to go through to become Secretary of State would actually ask questions about this whole imbroglio, or maybe the Dems would be too busy kissing Obama’s backside, and the GOP would be caught up in finding ways to sell free market principles even further up the river…
Oh, BTW, while we’re at it, how about Norman Hsu’s promise to implicate both Hill and Obama in his trial?
