What's Hillary hiding?
I'd like to say that this is unexpected news, but it ain't:
"Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton cites her experience as a compelling reason voters should make her president, but nearly 2 million pages of documents covering her White House years are locked up in a building here, obscuring a large swath of her record as first lady.
"Clinton's calendars, appointment logs and memos are stored at her husband's presidential library, in the custody of federal archivists who do not expect them to be released until after the 2008 presidential election."
Democrats crawl all overthemselved deriding Republican "secrecy," yet it is their presidential candidates who don't know the meaning of full disclosure: Bill Clinton refused to release his medical records, leading many to speculate that he'd been treated for a sexually transmitted disease; and John Kerry ignored calls for him to release all documents pertaining to his military service, which allowed the Swift Boat Vets and other critics to claim that his naval career wasn't as noteworthy as advertised by the Kerry campaign.
Now we learn that most of the documents from Hillary's years in the White House will not be released until after the 2008 election. Like I said, I'd like to say that this is shocking news, but we are talkin' about Democrats here.
