Hillary Clinton -- still ethically tone-deaf

Apparently so. Via powerline. "Hillary Clinton's confirmation hearing on Tuesday was something of a love-fest. Even the normally sensible Senator DeMint saw fit to assure Clinton "I have no questions about your integrity." Has DeMint forgotten Hillary's corruption during the 1990s, which led her to the brink of a deserved indictment?"

"Accordingly, Lugar argued that the Clinton Foundation should receive no foreign donations while Hillary Clinton is Secretary of State. Alternatively, he made a series of modest, and in the Post's words "sensible," recommendations... ...Clinton responded by praising Lugar (this was a love-fest after all) and ignoring his suggestions. Her answers, which basically refused to acknowledge the existence of the problem, suggest that she remains almost as ethically tone-deaf as she was during her days as First Lady."

Yikes.
