Hillary Clinton: Her Slipperyness Part 50

Hillary Clinton, Her Slipperyness, (tagged due to CNN host who noted such Wednesday on Tucker) spins during the debate among candidates vying for the Democrat Party nomination for President, the next day in a memo, and a third time during a conference call afterwards. All of this within two-days of the NBC-sponsored debate Tuesday.

During the debate, Clinton at least portrayed the failure she perceived to address illegal "immigration" (code word alert) spread between both the Congress and the Administration.

The memo she sent to insiders the day after refers only to the Administration's failure...

Meanwhile the article Campaign Call Reveals Clinton debate concern reports yet another variation with spokesman Penn stating in a conference call:

In Wednesday’s conference call, Penn said Clinton “clarified that she does support governors like Gov. Spitzer” who are faced with the issue because of the federal government’s failure to offer comprehensive immigration reform.

So which is it now, Mrs. Her Slipperyness? Is the failure to offer comprehensive immigration reform at the door of the federal government, the Administration, or Congress and the Administration, or some other variable?

We're at Her Slipperyness Part 50 since Clinton's comments are the talk of the blogs, talk of even The Nation, making Fox News programming throughout morning, noon, and night, and even making PBS programming last night!

MSNBC Hardball's Chris Matthews has vowed to continue to press on the issue, as he's still unsure of Clinton's position in the aftermath of the debate and the release of a memo.

Clinton has now veered from even her original statement claiming the failure to deal with comprehensive immigration reform was that of both the Congress and the Administration during the debate, to laying the blame at only the Administration in a memo the next day, to now in a conference call placing the federal government on the hot seat for the failure. Well who exactly is the federal government? The Immigration and Naturalization Service? Homeland Security? Who?

We expect the issue is not going to just go away. We hope female voters become smarter rather than dumb and dumber and really listen to the variation of positions Hillary Clinton chooses to take on the issue of giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens over the next months.

Hillary Clinton Her Slipperyness Part 1 Million, here we come.

Campaign call reveals Clinton debate concern
By Sam Youngman
November 01, 2007
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) top advisers, doing damage control after the candidate’s debate performance Tuesday, told supporters on a conference call Wednesday that the campaign needed more money to fight back.

Mark Penn, Clinton’s senior strategist and pollster, and Jonathan Mantz, the campaign’s finance director, told the supporters on the call, which The Hill listened to in its entirety, that they expect attacks from Clinton’s rivals to continue, and she will need the financial resources to deflect their attacks...

... Obama and Edwards continued their assault throughout the day, trying to capitalize on the first chink in Clinton’s armor that they have seen in months.

In a memo from the Obama campaign, spokesman Bill Burton said Clinton “offered more of the same Washington political calculation and evasion that won’t bring the change America needs.”

“The ‘politics of hope’ doesn’t mean hoping you don’t have to answer tough questions,” Burton wrote.

Burton wrote that Clinton dodged questions on Social Security, Iran and the National Archives issue. And on one of the more talked-about moments from the end of the debate, Clinton’s position on a move by New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D) to grant driver’s licenses to illegal aliens, Burton said, “Twelve hours after the debate ended, the American people are still waiting for an answer on Sen. Clinton’s position … She didn’t answer the question in the debate and her campaign couldn’t answer it afterwards.”

In Wednesday’s conference call, Penn said Clinton “clarified that she does support governors like Gov. Spitzer” who are faced with the issue because of the federal government’s failure to offer comprehensive immigration reform.
