Maybe he messed with Senator Hillary Clinton one time too many. When James Carville calls you 'Judas,' look out -- things tend to happen. They ratcheted up an investigation." http://mediamatters.org/items/200901060011 Tue, 6 Jan 2009 14:40:43 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200812170008 After asserting that John F. Kennedy Jr. "was supposed to run" for Senate before his death in a plane crash, Michael Savage stated: "And to this day, people wonder why he died in a plane crash, and then suddenly, enter from ... stage left, the carpetbagger Hillary Clinton, who moved to Chappaquiddick [sic], and next, you know, she's running for the presidency." http://mediamatters.org/items/200812170008 Wed, 17 Dec 2008 13:06:59 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200812090007 On <em>Hannity &amp; Colmes</em>, Dick Morris revived the myth that Sen. Hillary Clinton became a New York Yankees fan only after she decided to run for the Senate, saying: "What I've always hated about Hillary is the phoniness. 'I'm from New York.' 'I'm a Yankee fan.' 'Oh, I love to chug-a-lug.' 'I'm a hunting -- or a hunter.' You know, all of this absolute garbage that you know isn't true." http://mediamatters.org/items/200812090007 Tue, 9 Dec 2008 12:50:45 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200812080004 In a <em>Washington Times</em> column, Armstrong Williams claimed that secretary of state nominee Sen. Hillary Clinton's "antics and brokering of deals on how many times she gets to stand with Mr. Obama have signaled the beginnings of a rogue element." Williams then asked: "Does she see her powerful position as some shadow Oval Office when it comes to international diplomacy?" Williams also asserted: "I fear the incoming Obama White House will be forced to engage in hours upon hours of groveling and hand-holding down in Foggy Bottom." http://mediamatters.org/items/200812080004 Mon, 8 Dec 2008 10:30:45 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200812040016 On <em>The O'Reilly Factor</em>, Dick Morris predicted that Sen. Hillary Clinton would challenge President-elect Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination in the 2012 presidential election. But some of Morris' past attempts at political prognostication have been wildly off the mark. Morris' latest prediction is also inconsistent with his assertion in April that "[o]bviously, if Obama beats [Sen. John] McCain, Hillary is out of the picture until 2016." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200812040016 Thu, 4 Dec 2008 16:52:06 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200812030019 Since initial reporting that President-elect Barack Obama was considering naming Sen. Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, many in the media have raised the specter of personal and political "drama" -- which they claim follows Hillary and Bill Clinton wherever they go -- negatively affecting the Obama administration. The <em>Chicago Tribune</em>'s Clarence Page acknowledged that the media are hoping for "drama" resulting from a Clinton appointment; Page responded to the question of how Obama is "going to keep the drama at bay" by saying: "Well, do we want that? We're journalists." http://mediamatters.org/items/200812030019 Wed, 3 Dec 2008 22:12:21 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200812020018 On <em>Hardball</em>, Christopher Hitchens repeated an unsubstantiated claim he has made in the past: that Hillary Clinton "got" her husband to visit Pakistan in 2000 after a Pakistani-American PAC held a fundraiser that brought in $50,000 for her Senate race. http://mediamatters.org/items/200812020018 Tue, 2 Dec 2008 21:37:14 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200812010015 MSNBC again hosted commentator and author Christopher Hitchens, who again attacked Sen. Hillary Clinton, President-elect Barack Obama's nominee for secretary of state. Hitchens said Clinton "only cares about one thing, namely herself and her own prospects," adding, "After that, her impeached, disbarred husband and the many undeclared interests of his and hers that they nurture for the future." http://mediamatters.org/items/200812010015 Mon, 1 Dec 2008 22:15:40 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200811240011 MSNBC's Chris Matthews falsely claimed that President-elect Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton, his reported pick for secretary of state, disagreed on whether "we should make the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist group" and on whether "we should have permanent bases in Iraq." http://mediamatters.org/items/200811240011 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:23:41 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200811210008 Criticizing Sen. Hillary Clinton over her possible appointment as secretary of state, in three separate appearances, Christopher Hitchens purported to quote Clinton from 15 years ago to attack her foreign policy credentials. On MSNBC and CNN, from November 17-19, Hitchens claimed that Clinton directed her husband in 1993 not to intervene in the Balkans because it would detract attention from her health-care program. But the source he has previously cited for the assertion does not support it. http://mediamatters.org/items/200811210008 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 13:50:50 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200811200004 Discussing the possible appointment of Sen. Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, Andrea Tantaros said that if President-elect Barack Obama "select[s] Hillary Clinton and Bill ... it would be akin to a family adopting the Menendez brothers." Erik and Lyle Menendez were convicted of first-degree murder in 1996 for shooting their parents to death. http://mediamatters.org/items/200811200004 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:58:04 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200811190011 On MSNBC's <em>1600 Pennsylvania Avenue</em>, discussing the possible appointment of Sen. Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, Christopher Hitchens said of Clinton: "It's only true that she's respected in the Pentagon if people go around saying so. I've never heard that before." In fact, media outlets have previously reported that Clinton "has gained a lot of respect among military leadership" and has "built relationships" with military leaders such as Gen. David H. Petraeus and Adm. William J. Fallon. Clinton also received the endorsement of numerous retired generals and admirals during her 2008 presidential campaign. http://mediamatters.org/items/200811190011 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:38:43 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200811190004 In an article about whether Sen. Hillary Clinton would accept the position of secretary of state in an Obama administration, <em>The New York Times</em> reported that aides to President-elect Barack Obama "have been reviewing Mr. [Bill] Clinton's business dealings, focusing on the array of his post-presidential activities, some details of which have not been made public. That includes the identity of most of the donors to his foundation" and "the source of some of his speaking fees." But the <em>Times</em> did not note that the source and amount of all of Bill Clinton's speaking fees of $200 or more are disclosed annually in Hillary Clinton's Senate disclosure forms. http://mediamatters.org/items/200811190004 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 10:10:18 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200811180017 On <em>Hardball</em>, Chris Matthews used reports that President-elect Barack Obama might nominate Sen. Hillary Clinton as secretary of state to "rehash" 1990s-era smears and scandals involving the Clintons. Matthews invoked Linda Tripp and hosted Rep. Dan Burton, whom Matthews asked to discuss the false accusation that Vince Foster was murdered, and Christopher Hitchens. http://mediamatters.org/items/200811180017 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 20:12:38 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200811180015 Media have continued to respond to reports that President-elect Barack Obama is considering naming Sen. Hillary Clinton secretary of state with the smear that she (or Bill Clinton) might pursue her own agenda as secretary of state and not President-elect Barack Obama's, including the assertion that "Obama may wake up one day and discover that Hillary has decreed a new 'Clinton Doctrine' of foreign policy." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200811180015 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 17:50:35 EST
