Meet the New Hillary, Same As the Old Hillary

The Hillary Clinton of the 21st Century bears almost no superficial resemblance to the Hillary Clinton of the 20th.  She's a Senator.  She's a centrist.  She's a New Yorker.  She doesn't wear a headband.  What's not to like?

And just when the world was nearly ready to shake off the dusty old memories of Hillary 1.0 and close the book on Whitewater, Travelgate, dead lawyers, socialized healthcare, and the rest of her assorted barminess, she offers up her most familiar bauble of delusional lefty paranoia to reel us back in.

Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton told Democrats Tuesday the "vast, right-wing conspiracy" is back, using a phrase she once coined to describe partisan criticism.

Speaking to Democratic municipal officials, the New York senator used the term to hammer Republicans on election irregularities. ...

On Tuesday, she asserted the conspiracy is alive and well, and cited as proof the Election Day 2002 case of phone jamming in New Hampshire, a case in which two Republican operatives pleaded guilty to criminal charges, and a third was convicted.

"To the New Hampshire Democratic party's credit, they sued and the trail led all the way to the Republican National Committee," Clinton said.

"So if anybody tells you there is no vast right-wing conspiracy, tell them that New Hampshire has proven it in court," she said.
