Jewish World Review Nov. 12, 2007 2 Kislev 5768 Oh man, Hillary Clinton's got guy trouble By Michael Goodwin http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Hillary Clinton has a man problem. No, no, not that kind of man problem. And not the man problem she had in mind when she accused her rivals of "piling on" at the debate debacle. Her man problem comes from her friends. Friends like Gov. Spitzer, who has thrown her the hottest political potato of the year with his plan to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. Friends like booster Charlie Rangel, the Harlem congressman whose massive tax-hike proposal is fast becoming a millstone around her political neck. And the biggest man problem of all is Hubba Bubba, who is developing a habit of saying stupid things. A bimbo eruption would almost be comic relief compared with his nonsense of saying that critics who blast wifey's habit of ducking tough issues are practically "Swift-boating" her. He followed that turkey with a free-association ramble to an Iowa audience that seemed to suggest the rough and tumble of the immigration debate resembled Al Qaeda tactics. "The Al Qaeda people think that all that matter are our differences, and 'You do it my way or you deserve to die,'" he said, according to a report on Politico.com. He made a reference to the racial incident in Jena, La., then to immigration, saying, "You see it in very complicated ways in the context of what to do about immigration, what's the best way to get a handle on illegal immigration." Time to get out the muzzle and the medication. With friends like these, Hillary can't really call Barack Obama and John Edwards enemies. It's Spitzer, Rangel and Bubba she should fear. That's because her reactions to the problems they handed her recall Bill Clinton's troubled presidency. Memories of scandal, polarization and blame are rushing back, with the last two weeks serving as both a mirror on the past and a window on the future. Increasingly, it seems a second Clinton presidency would be very much like the first one in all the worst ways. The penchant for half-truths - called "parsing" in his day - is front and center again. More than two weeks after she was first asked, Hillary Clinton still has given only conflicting suggestions about whether she supports Spitzer's unpopular license scheme or Rangel's tax plan, which, according to a published report, rewards some of Rangel's biggest contributors. If she can't talk clearly about these basic domestic policy issues, how could she possibly guide the nation through a real crisis, such as Pakistan's meltdown or Iran's nuclear program? I'll answer that: She couldn't. Instead of giving straight answers to straight questions, she is behaving exactly the way Bubba always did under fire - blame somebody else. So her anonymous aides first accused debate moderator Tim Russert of being unfair, then accused her male rivals of "piling on" and, finally, faulted the media for demanding yes or no answers. For good measure, Bill trotted out his all-purpose bogeyman in Iowa, saying the "extreme right-wing faction of the Republican Party" has "been working on her for 16 years." I suspect the victimhood vote isn't that large, and the tiresome blame-game approach plays right into Obama's hands. His charge that she can't unite the country because she was too much a player in "the partisan battling we had in the '90s," is both an appeal to the youth vote and a clever way of asking whether the country wants a rerun of the Clinton years. Her high negatives say the country doesn't relish the thought. Although recent polls show Obama gaining a little on her, his vow that he will go after her aggressively holds the potential for him to close the gap if she continues to wilt under fire. His plan is to paint her as old school and to persuade primary voters that the difference he brings really will unite America. That's a tall order. But if he can pull it off, Obama would become Hillary's biggest man problem of all. Every weekday JewishWorldReview.com publishes what many in Washington and the media consider "must-reading".
