Hillary Clinton is facing scrutiny for her tenure on the board of Wal-Mart from 1986 to 1992. She gently pushed for more female executives and for Wal-Mart to be environmentally friendly but was "largely silent" regarding the discount behemoth's anti-union stance.

At The Plank, New Republic editor in chief Martin Peretz says he's been waiting many years for this story: "I always wondered why Hillary Rodham Clinton never boasted about her service on the Wal-Mart board. After all, she boasts--even exaggerates--about everything she's done and does…. What had she thought of Wal-Mart's indifference to its workers' medical coverage? …[W]hen she was in a position to do something in what was even then one of the largest corporations in America, she played footsie with her bosses, which is exactly what they were. What an empty vessel."

Maybe this ship wont sail?
