Thank you Arianna — a Blast from the Past over at the HuffPost Courtesy of the Madam in Charge
Arianna reaches back a decade to bring back a column about the new Clinton Campaign Pooh-Baah — Maggie Williams.
Its a column on the thoroughly entertaining congressional testimony of a younger Ms. Williams defending her solicitous treament of one Johnny Chung — the 90’s version of Norman Hsu.
Who else knew that Maggie Williams gave Mr. Chung permission to dine in the WH mess on her tab as often as he wanted? Her explanation? She felt bad about the way he was treated by the power structure and understood how he felt as a minority in a white man’s world.
The fact that he gave $360,000 to various Dem. political groups didn’t influence her at all.
Hillary really is desperate! I’m sure this is to appeal to African Americans, who are now voting for Obama in droves. Doesn’t she have one AFrican American without a tawdry past on her campaign that she can put in the top position?

JD (4dea4b) — 2/11/2008 @ 7:21 pmWasn’t it Maggie Williams who cleaned out Vince Foster’s office ahead of the police arrival?
SPQR (26be8b) — 2/11/2008 @ 7:37 pmPlease, please, please, dear Allah, let Hill/Bill make it through the primaries. And while you are at it, could you make sure that they tear their own party to shreds when they force her into the nomination via a brokered convention? Is that too much to ask for, o merciful and peaceful Allah?

Patricia, we’re talking about the Clintons. They don’t have any allies or friends without tawdry pasts.
JVW (6ec42d) — 2/11/2008 @ 7:48 pmSPQR, you are correct, sir. I was going to say, don’t forget about her bullshit explanations and non-answers re Vince Foster.
CraigC (802489) — 2/11/2008 @ 8:41 pmSo … Maggie Williams,a black woman, used to be the cleaning staff … but now it’s Sandy Berger, a white man.
And people say the Clintons aren’t really progressive!

Some folks have a trail of tears and sacrifices which explain their life and careers, other have a trail of blood from those they sacrificed!
