Michelle Malkin pointed out another of the growing connections between felonious fundraiser Norman Hsu and the Clinton presidential campaign. But what wound up being more interesting, and amusing, was the item linked at the bottom of Malkin's,
with further background on Mrs. Clinton's campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle. By way of background,
Jonah Goldberg and others rightly derided claims floated last week that Mrs. Clinton was not actually the driving force behind the failed health care reform legislation of 1994. As Goldberg commented on Friday in The Corner at National Review Online:
It turns out that Hillary Clinton's healthcare plan was never her plan at all. Those 8 trillion articles, speeches and books we've all seen since 1993? Meaningless! She was merely the saleswoman for "her husband's plan." Let's just assume that this is actually accurate, isn't it just a little funny that this case is only being made a decade and a half after the fact?
Imagine my surprise in skimming through the Chicago Sun Times profile from June 2007 of Patti Solis Doyle, where near the end of the article it states:
Doyle said her toughest time while working in the White House was not the impeachment of President Clinton but the failure of Hillary Clinton's health reform plan in 1994, "because for me that was truly her thing and it was a tough time having to regroup."
I'm really not looking forward to another Clinton presidency and their holiday from reality. No doubt if anyone from the campaign is ever questioned on this, all the emphasis will shift to the words "for me" as it is explained that Mrs. Doyle's personal impression of whose "thing" it was notwithstanding, the prior health care reform plan was always Bill Clinton's plan. And we've always been at war with Eastasia...
