I haven’t mentioned it, but there is a report of Hillary listening to political opponents talking on their cell phones. The recordings were made illegally, and Hillary is denying that this happened. But what is more interesting is the reaction of people to the idea that Hillary might do something like this.

Washington observers appeared shocked. Mein Gott, where have they been all these years? The Clintons have engaged in brute behavior for decades, much of it a matter of record. The Hill’s report moves me to now list seven issues every American should know about the Clintons before 2008.

The seven issues, in short order:

Every Clinton Scandal of the 1990s had a precedent in the Clinton Governorship of the 1980s.
For years the Clintons have bullied the press, political opponents, prosecutors, and those women who caught Bill’s eye.
Rumors of Senator John McCain’s temper have haunted his campaign. Hillary’s temper is even more widely documented, by disaffected Secret Service agents, military aides, Arkansas state troopers, and others.
She is given to what the historian Richard Hofstadter termed “The Paranoid Style in American Politics.”
The Clintons have, to use the words of President Harry Truman — who while president scrupulously insulated the White House from fundraising and in retirement refused speakers’ fees — “commercialized the presidency.”
Very little of this has escaped the notice of journalists and of Democratic leaders. Yet, after every scandal they forget their public denunciations of the Clintons.
The press has been lax in reporting the Clintons’ unprecedented record of ethical failings and outright corruption.

Book after book has been written detailing the behavior of Hillary while Bill was president. If you haven’t read any, start with Barbara Olsen’s Hell to Pay: The Unfolding Story of Hillary Rodham Clinton. But first, read this.
