From the Washington Times "Inside the Beltway" column:

When President Clinton wants to silence his critics, he sends first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to do the job.

Rep. James P. Moran, Virginia Democrat, discovered that recently, according to the latest issue of Newsweek magazine. Mr. Moran had been criticizing Mr. Clinton on television, and the president sent the first lady to put a stop to it. At a fund-raising dinner, Mrs.
Clinton approached Mr. Moran's chief of staff.

"Why is Jim doing this to us?" the first lady demanded, according to Newsweek.

"Because of what the president did to you," the aide replied.

"Ask Jim to call me," Mrs. Clinton said.

When he did call her, Mr. Moran told Mrs. Clinton her husband "was a philanderer and worse," Newsweek reports. And if Mr. Moran was her older brother, he said, "He would have taken Clinton behind the house and broken his nose," the magazine adds.

Newsweek reports that Mrs. Clinton's only response was to lobby Mr. Moran against supporting Republican plans for an impeachment inquiry.


According to Votewatch, it didn't work. Moran voted FOR the inquiry.
