| Hillary's Two Rotten Brothers |
| 2006-08-18 |
| Remember Jimmy Carter's buffoonish brother Billy, known for "Billy Beer" and dealing with Libyan dictator Gadhafi? Well, Hillary Clinton has a brother, too, and, as reported in the Washington Times, Anthony D. "Tony" Rodham was named recently in an Alexandria, Virginia bankruptcy court filing that could boomerang on Hillary herself as she prepares her presidential run. The Tony Rodham story, in which he is accused of being paid and loaned hundreds of thousand of dollars to lobby for presidential pardons, could resurrect numerous Clinton scandals. The media's blackout of this story demonstrates how Senator Clinton is once again benefiting from the protection provided by the mainstream media. At the very least, she ought to be asked what she thinks of her brother's legal predicament. And if she won't answer, they should ask Bill Clinton about it. The story takes us back to the end of husband Clinton's second term in office, when he made a number of very dubious pardons, some for significant amounts of cash. Hillary's brother Tony had received $244,769 in salary, and loans totaling over $100,000 from people who were granted presidential pardons. According to the suit, he didn't pay them back. |

| #9 I'm with Sarge. There are plenty of things to attack Hillary over without even impugning her character, let alone her familyÂ’s. Like what sheÂ’s said, done, and stands for. |

| #6 I'm for using the same tactics the Donks use to attack Trunks, on the Donks. They need a serious taste of their own medicine, until they can't stand it. -M |

| #4 I am NOT in favor of dragging family members into the political fray. If her brothers started campaigning for her then they are fair game but to simply drag out dirt to hopefully dirty Hillary is out of bounds IMHO. There is plenty of dirt and lack of expertise to hang on Hillary without dragging her wierdo family through the ringer as well. |

| #2 Raise this during her campaign and you'll be accused of Swiftboating her. The truth of the facts noted will never be addressed |
