The Clintonista Hit List : Dangerous To Your Health

clintons_humaBoth Clinton’s have been a blot on the Constitutional Republic since their drug-running days in and out of Mena Arkansas. Then they ascended to the highest levels of influence, thanks to the Ross Perot cave-in when pressured in 1992.

In this excerpt from a new book on the Clintons, authors Amy Parnes and Jonathan Allen expose both in their voracious quest for political power; and it isn’t pretty by a long shot. Being within even a sniff of the Clintons is indeed dangerous to your health and well being, particularly-so if you happen to cross political paths with them.

Examples:
There was a special circle of Clinton hell reserved for people who had endorsed Obama or stayed on the fence after Bill and Hillary had raised money for them, appointed them to a political post, or written a recommendation to ice their kid’s application to an elite school. On one early draft of the hit list, each Democratic member of Congress was assigned a numerical grade from one to seven, with the most helpful to Hillary earning ones and the most treacherous drawing sevens. The set of sevens included Sens. John Kerry, Jay Rockefeller, Bob Casey, and Patrick Leahy, as well as Reps. Chris Van Hollen, Baron Hill, and Rob Andrews.

Yet even seven didn’t seem strong enough to quantify the betrayal of some onetime allies.

When the Clintons sat in judgment, Claire McCaskill got the seat closest to the fire. Bill and Hillary had gone all out for her when she ran for Senate in Missouri in 2006. But McCaskill seemed to forget that favor when NBC’s Tim Russert asked her whether Bill had been a great president, during a “Meet the Press” debate against then-Sen. Jim Talent in October 2006. “He’s been a great leader,” McCaskill said of Bill, “but I don’t want my daughter near him.”

Still, Clinton aides exulted in schadenfreude when their enemies faltered. Years later they would joke about the fates of folks who they felt had betrayed them. “Bill Richardson: investigated; John Edwards: disgraced by scandal; Chris Dodd: stepped down,” one said to another. “Ted Kennedy,” the aide continued, lowering his voice to a whisper for the punch line, “dead.”

OUCH! The Clintonista hit list is indeed dangerous to your health. Continues…
