Hillary Clinton, Deadbeat Candidate Jim Geraghty The Campaign Spot In John Callahan On April 20, 2008, Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign booked a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania high school for a campaign event.

The former president comes to Salisbury Township on Tuesday to raise money for Callahan, a fellow Democrat running for Congress. Callahan agreed to help the school district after it urged him to intervene in settling a bill that dates to the 2008 presidential primary and an event at Liberty High School.

In effect, he's holding U.S. troops hostage to advance his own political career. Longtime members of the Senate Armed Services Committee are shuddering at the way the defense budget has become a Christmas tree for political ornaments. Since last year, Democrats have used appropriations for U.S. troops in Afghanistan to attach riders that couldn't otherwise pass muster. Now Reid has hung the ugliest ornament of them all — the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act — and has scheduled a vote on it next week. "This is an all-time low for me being in the Senate, and that's saying something," committee member Lindsay Graham told ... Message 26825956
