Time for a clinton SANITY CHECK - Ignore the nasty little woman behind the curtain:Slur or not, Hillary's still scurrilous There's no way that a couple who decried the 1980s as the ``decade of greed'' could be among the grubbiest of money-grubbing materialists - using political clout to pursue personal gain in a shady real-estate deal and reaping suspicious profits from a commodities investment. . . . It's impossible that a crusader for children's welfare - who served as chairman of the Children's Defense Fund and wrote a book titled ``It Takes a Village'' - could have interrupted the filming of an ad featuring underprivileged, preschool children on the grounds of the Arkansas governor's mansion growling, ``I want to get this s--t over with and these damn people out of here'' (as related to David Brock by Arkansas trooper Roger Perry). It is not to be believed that a member of the Clintons' political family, a vice president renowned for his empathy for the underdog, would allow his dirt-poor tenants to live in a roach palace. It's inconceivable that a president who publicly feels the pain of women would privately cause so much pain to individual women; that a man who signed an expansion of the federal sexual harassment law earlier would have dropped his trousers before a woman he'd just met and asked her to ``kiss it''; or that a politician who's publicly committed to women's rights would perjure himself to deny one woman's right to justice. And a lady who's a feminist icon, who knew that her husband was a compulsive fornicator, couldn't possibly have spent the past seven years defending him against accusations of being himself, dismissing his victims as stalkers and attacking his accusers as tools of a vast conspiracy. Such things are beyond the realm of imagining. Rhetoric trumps reality and advocacy negates actions. By their public pronouncements you shall know them. Their deeds are a needless distraction from the splendor of their agenda.Ignore the nasty little woman behind the curtain,frantically pulling the levers.
