How the "Righteous" have fallen

In the immortal words of Ricky Ricardo, "Hillary, you got some splanin' to do"

Just what is she in trouble for this time? It would seem that she has been spying on her rivals to the throne since 1992.

In the recent book, Her Way, two Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalists for the New York Times, Don Van Natta Jr. and Jeff Gerth where quoted as saying the following.

“Hillary’s defense activities ranged from the inspirational to the microscopic to the down and dirty. She received memos about the status of various press inquiries; she vetted senior campaign aides; and she listened to a secretly recorded audiotape of a phone conversation of Clinton critics plotting their next attack.

“The tape contained discussions of another woman who might surface with allegations about an affair with Bill,” Gerth and Van Natta wrote in reference to Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton. “Bill’s supporters monitored frequencies used by cell phones, and the tape was made during one of those monitoring sessions.”

However, it gets better and better.

Gerth told The Hill that he learned of the incident in 2006 when he interviewed a former campaign aide present at the tape playing. He has not revealed the aide’s identity. Clinton’s campaign has not disputed any facts reported in the final version of his book, which became public this spring, he said.

“It hasn’t been challenged,” said Gerth. “There hasn’t been one fact in the book that’s been challenged.”

And, as if you didn't already know this, the reporting paper says that it was illegal to intercept cell phones in 1992. That is going to get filed in the "Duh" category.

Oh, the hits keep coming and it just keeps getting better and better.

Clinton’s chief political strategist, Mark Penn, became embroiled recently in a controversy over intercepted electronic communications. Mitchell Markel, a former vice president at Penn’s firm, Penn, Schoen & Berland, filed a lawsuit against Penn accusing him of intercepting e-mail. Markel claimed that the firm illegally monitored messages sent from his BlackBerry after he joined another company.

Goodbye Hillary, please don't let the door miss you on the way out.
