Po-Mo Pol
Some liberals are getting a clue about Hillary.
After years of being vilified by conservatives, Hillary Rodham Clinton is suddenly facing mounting criticism from an unlikely quarter: liberals.
Core Democratic constituencies that helped Mrs. Clinton win her Senate seat in New York two and a half years ago are expressing deep disappointment in her, saying she has been unwilling to challenge President Bush and Republican leaders in Congress on issues of importance to them.
What they're actually realizing is that Hillary and hubby Bubba are the consummate post-modernist politicians. They appear to support all the right things, but ultimately only stand for what helps them the most at that point in time. After all, everything is relative you know.
But the downfall of a po-mo pol (see, e.g., Al Gore) is that at some point, you must stand up for what you believe in....a revealing exercise for Hillary, who believes in nothing but power.
New York voters should beware come next election. Lord Acton was right.
