Bill Clinton received $800,000 in 2005 to give a speeches for a Bogota Colombia group which supports Bush’s free trade agreement. When she was asked by CNN if this was a conflict of interest, she gave her trademark cackle to avoid answering the question.
Clinton threw up her hands and laughed loudly for several seconds.
“How many angels dance on the head of the pin?,” she responded, continuing to giggle. “I have really, uh, nothing to … I mean, how do you answer that?”
The New York senator explained there are different sides to the argument over trade, and re-emphasized her own opposition to the trade deal, assailing the Colombian government’s “outrageous” record of “targeting labor leaders.”
“I am against the Colombia free trade deal,” she said. “It doesn’t matter who talks to me. It doesn’t matter any circumstances. I have been against it. I am against it. I will be against it absent the kind of changes in behavior that I have been calling for from the Colombian government.”
Well I’m getting closer to figuring out why Hillary won’t support a free trade agreement with our allies who have worked hard in the last several years to fight narco-terrorism. The government has apparently been targeting “labor leaders”. I think that must be code for “leftist narco-terrorists”.
