Knocked out of the spotlight as the rightwing's number 1 enemy, Hillary tries schtick: WHO knew that Hillary Clinton could - as she puts it - "do funny"? The new Funny Girl had everyone in stitches at a D.C. political dinner, lamenting the loss of her spot as the right wing's No. 1 enemy to "my new love interest" (if you believe supermarket tabloids) - Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle. "I'm a little hurt . . . Whatever happened to me? What's a girl got to do to earn some old-fashioned condemnation?" she deadpanned at the Washington Press Club Foundation dinner this week. "Where did I go right?" She wondered aloud why Attorney General John Ashcroft wasted more than $8,000 on curtains to cover up a few bare-breasted statues when "he could have bought some burqas for $15 in Kandahar." Lampooning her own past scandals, Clinton scoffed at Team Bush's claim that it can't find any records of meetings with Enron - just as she once insisted she couldn't find her Whitewater-linked billing records. From her own experience, she suggested "they try the upstairs closet" - her own records, bearing her fingerprints, turned up in the White House family quarters. And Clinton, who claimed executive privilege over records for her health-care task force, mocked Bush for doing the same with his energy task force: "Honestly, where do they get this stuff?" She did much better than GOP Rep. Mark Foley (Fla.), who raised more eyebrows than laughs when he said it was risky sending four-times married newsman Geraldo Rivera to Afghanistan, "where they stone adulterers." But Foley got some laughs with an imitation of Hillary's ex-president hubby admitting he planted the pretzel that caught in Bush's throat and made him faint. "Yes, I did plant the pretzel," said Foley in a very Bill Clintonesque drawl. "And if ‘W.' didn't make such a big deal about us taking the [White House] furniture, he'd have hit the carpet instead of the table."
