Will MSM Give Hillary Same Treatment as Bush?
Posted at 10:26 by Big Dog in PoliticalDrudge is displaying a picture that has surfaced of Tony Rezko with the smiling Clintons, one on each side. This is important because Hillary Clinton mentioned Rezko in the last Democratic debate when she said to Senator Obama; “I was fighting against those ideas when you were practicing law and representing your contributor, Rezko, in his slum landlord business in inner city Chicago.” The photograph looks like one of the many that presidents and their wives have taken, photos that are often with people they do not know and have never met. Often though, these pictures are taken with people who have donated money to the president’s campaign. So the question now becomes, how did Tony Rezko get invited to whatever event this was and how did he get his picture taken with the Clintons? Another question would have to be did this “slumlord” donate money to them?
On the surface this might not seem like a big deal and many Hillary supporters will say that she has taken many photos with people that she does not know. Hillary was making that very case this morning on the Today show. In the glory days of the Clintons the media would be tucking this under the bed and if she were running against a Republican they would certainly make no big deal out of it. The media are not treating the Clintons unfairly as Bill claims, they are just giving Hillary the same scrutiny as other candidates. In other words, the playing field has been leveled and the Clintons are not used to that. Remember, it was Drudge who expose the Lewinsky affair when the media was keeping it under wraps.
As I stated though, the photo looks like one of many except the person in the middle is different so why is this important and why should Hillary be taken to task for this photo? There was a guy named Jack Abramoff who was a lobbyist. He ended up in jail and several Republicans ended up in legal trouble because of illegal dealings with Abramoff (Democrats ignored their dealings with Abramoff as did their partners in the MSM). After the Abramoff scandal broke there was word that the disgraced lobbyist had been tot he White House and that there were photos of him with President and Mrs. Bush. The Democrats and the media went nuts over this and said it proved that Bush was doing illegal things. The Chicago Tribune said that Mr. Bush had some explaining to do even as the President was saying that he took thousands of photos with people he did not know and that he did not know Abramoff (sound familiar?). Here is the Tribune take on it:
“However, now we know there are at least two visits by admitted felon Jack Abramoff that the White House must explain,’’ Fitton said. “What was Jack Abramoff doing at the White House? With whom did he meet? The public deserves to know answers to these questions.†Chicago Tribune
Since Rezko is from Chicago, let’s wait and see how long the Tribune waits to tell us that the public deserves to know about Rezko’s visit with the Clintons.
There is no doubt that Abramoff raised money for President Bush as he did for many politicians from both parties. Many of those politicians, including the President, have donated that money to charity. The point being, if Abramoff was able to get his picture with the President because of fund raising, what did Rezko do to get his picture taken with the Clintons?
This photo, which has to be an embarrassment to Hillary, is probably nothing more than a photo with someone they really do not know, as are the Abramoff/Bush photos. However, the media and the Democratic Party went absolutely nuts over the Bush photos and the words corruption and scandal were thrown around quite often. Therefore, the Clinton photo with Rezko demands the same attention and scrutiny as the Bush/Abramoff photos and that attention needs to be now, not six months after she is elected to the Presidency.
The media cannot drag its feet on this and they must start digging to see if Rezko gave the Clintons money or if there is another relationship between the parties. The media must start using words like scandal and corruption and the Clintons must allow access to all their records so a federal probe can begin.
While the investigators and the media are at it, they can look into Hillary’s ties to Abramoff as well. If she wants to be President then she should be held to the same standard that the Democrats hold President Bush to.
Of course, this could be photoshopped…

Well bleech, another roach comes out into the light. This is not a Hillary site, just one that happens to expose the myths of Hillary.
I also change my site when I find themes I like and that will not cause huge strains on my server, not that it is any of your business.
Of course, I change it because it is mine and I pay for it. How do you feel with that new coat of polish?

“Will MSM Give Hillary Same Treatment as Bush?”
If the MSM gives HRC the same hands-off kid-gloves- treatment it gave GWB in the aftermath of 9/11 and during the run-up to the Iraq invasion, who knows WHAT dastardly feats of daring-do she’ll get away with.

I think the difference here is that the White House denied having met with him, then more and more details started to surface. The Clinton’s aren’t denying they met with this man, but they just say they had no real dealings. This could be a lie and it could come out that they had more than they admit, but to confuse these two situations doesn’t do the Abramoff stuff justice…
I think that they said that he was not there because the President does not know the man. However, once there were requests for the documents they were turned over.
The Clintons did not deny anything except for Hillary to say she does not know him and has taken pictures with a lot of people. That was the same claim that GWB made about Abramoff.
She brought this up by slamming Obama with it so now she has some explaining to do…
Hold their feet to the same fire they hold GWB’s to.
Funny, Bill and Hill are not used to the media acting this way toward them. The coverage is pretty even but they don’t see it that way because they are not being given the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah, when the campaign gets this nasty there’s bound to be blowback. Really at this point both Obama and Clinton are just trying to get whatever soundbyte they can in and hope the media runs with it so that all those states they can’t afford to get to will notice. The gloves are off and I can’t say I hate it. I want to see Obama and Hillary biting and scratching for that nomination. John Kerry took the high road, had an easy primary season, then couldn’t fight back when it came to the media spin that the GOP was putting out about his war record, his voting patterns, etc., and he went down in flames because of it. The Clinton’s in the 90’s proved that it doesn’t matter what you say or do but how you roll with the punches and spin it in the media and I want a Candidate that can pull that off…
…which is not to say I like the fact that the Clinton’s spun their way out of lies, but just that John Kerry could not set the record straight, and that’s one thing that both the Obama and Clinton campaigns are good at, even if it’s a slant on the record.
Your wrong again BD.Looks like your wrong alot these days.Ill check back later.The truth is you are in love with Hillary.You cant get away from it.We wonder what your mother did or did not do to create such an idiot.She must have dropped you on your head afew times.

By the way I cant stand Bill or Hillery,but I like you even less.

Hey bleech, the radio gig was for fun, no pay and I have been offered 3 other gigs on internet radio. I really don’t have the time right now.
As for the ads, they are there to raise money that goes to the troops as it states on my site.
I have a real job and if you paid attention you would know that because it has been addressed before. I can’t run for office unless I quit my job, not gonna do it.
I am a productive part of society. I will not be getting a tax rebate check so you figure it out.
Adam,
I want a candidate that can fight and be honest. The Clintons proved that you can lie and get in office and then people acted surprised when he was caught in a lie. They both lied to get him elected the first time and it is on record.
Bleech, I really don’t care if you like me or not however, you should stick the issues and not the insults.

The issue is that your a fraud.Put on your pants and come into the light.Your wrong as always.I have no criminal record and have never been arrested.I support the Troops by writing a check.I dont look for other peoples money I use my own.my son will graduate from college with a 3.5 grade piont average so my mom must have done something right.Again what the hell went wrong with you and yours.
Grammar certainly was not one of the things done right.
Nothing went wrong. Prove that I am a fraud. What have I done that is fraudulent?
I have a college degree, have a license as a registered nurse, and I supported the troops by being one of them for 24 years. I write a check that matches what I take in in ad money and I have attended funerals and three GOE events. Tell me exactly how I am a fraud and how I have been fraudulent.
I have never made any claim about myself that was not true. That would be fraud so tell me how I am a fraud.
You are nothing more than an angry person who has some beef with me that I have yet to figure out.
