About a month ago I was telling everyone that Hillary would be the next president of the United States.

Today I'm not so sure.

Truth be told, Hillary is a weak candidate on shakey ground - just listen to her. On one side I'm supposed to believe that she's one of the smartest leaders in our country. That said, she wants us to believe that she was tricked in to endorsing a war with Iraq by George Bush (who is supposed to be one of the stupidest leaders in our country.)

On one side I'm supposed to believe that Hillary had nothing to do with the Healthcare plan when it was proposed back in 1994. But if you use your memory (or do any research in to the subject) you'll notice that she lead the Health Care "task force".

On one side she portrays her experience as a co president in her husband's administration. On the other hand she had nothing to do with it.

And now in the latest news trickling out I'm supposed to believe that Hillary is opposed to giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens, unless we're trying to get an accurate count of how many are in the state of New York, only then we're not going to let them on our roads - but it's all Bush's fault.

To paraphrase the words of Barrack Obama, "I can't tell if she's for it or against it."

In fact if you listen/read the transcripts of the last debate Hillary's only solid message is "It's all Bush's fault." Too bad Bush isn't running in 2008 or this might make a good campaign slogan. Definitely win her the support of the kook left wing blogosphere anyway.

But the truth is that she's got all kinds of bad baggage from unusual fund raising practices that covers everything from taking thousand dollars in contributions from dishwashers, hundreds of thousands of dollar contributions from people living on welfare and big money from infants and toddlers.

Moreover she is holding documents about her and Bill's first two terms in office. Our media can get military plans and secrets using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) but we can't get the chronicals of a failing administration using the same types of "Sunshine Laws".

Even if the records do slide out, Clinton will just get Sandy Berger to destroy any forms that indicate criminal wrongdoing. He was found guilty of destroying classified documents to cover for the Clintons you know. And he was rewarded by being rehired by Hillary.

But conservatives have been pointing out stuff like this for years only to be ignored by the unbiased, non partisan press. But none of the above has even tickled the curiousity of Journalists. I notice that media types are keenly interested in investigating the theory that Bush knew about 9-11 despite that there is no evidence. But the dirty dealings of the Clintons get a pass despite mountain of evidence.

Well it's starting to crack apart. The Main Stream Media (MSM) is starting to take another look at the Clintons. And although the MSM never takes sides I can almost guarentee that it's because the Clinton machine is starting to target other Democrats - especially the other presidential candidates.

Obama, Edwards, Dodd and others love it when they get passes and softballs when arguing with conservative critics. But when Saint Hillary gets dodges at their expense, they get mad. Or I at least assume that these guys are serious about their runs for the highest office in the land and they're being played for chumps by the Camp Hillary and the media.

But something interesting is starting to happen: journalists actually are starting to look in to some of the curious things Clinton is doing. 

Already the feminists are splitting on Hillary. A lot of feminists are falling back on the same tired arguments that "The boys are attacking the girl". But other feminists are starting to argue that Hillary is under attack for being the front runner. Even Hillary herself has forwarded this notion - even as she talks about being a good mother/housewife. But this hasn't stopped people like Nancy Pelosi are chidding the ex first lady for "playing the gender card". 

Funny - I disagree ideologically with Clinton but my not voting for her makes me a "sexist". Feminists won't vote for Hillary even though they share her ideology and that makes them, not sexists but good voters? How's that for twisted?

The bottom line is that the gaps and cracks and weaknesses are now being looked at by a handful of people in the press and the other candidates. And even though no one is really going to truly go for the jugular when it comes to Clinton, it is a bit refreshing to have everything I've been saying up to this point given some veracity.

Maybe Hillary will start to face other hard questions - if not from CNN then maybe from the other primary candidates.

Welcome to the right wing conspiracy guys!

Maybe someone will even ask her when we're finally going to give up on Kosovo (her husband's forgotten war.)
