Hillary Clinton - Wiretapped?

There has been a lot of buzz lately that there will be a Swift Boat Vets type of attack on Hillary Clinton should she run for president in 2008. There's is even talk of a forthcoming book with damaging allegations. The Democrats say it's all just a smear campaign and just more of a vast right wing conspiracy.

Besides, they point out that Hillary was scrutinized in intimate detail before her husband was elected president and any skeletons in the closet are already known about. That may be true but what if Hillary was caught on tape making incriminating statements? What's even more amazing is who was doing the recording.

Sen. Ted Kennedy's brother-in-law, who pled guilty to bank fraud charges yesterday in New Orleans, secretly tape recorded former top Hillary Clinton campaign aide David Rosen - and may have taped Hillary herself - as part of an FBI probe into an Aug. 12, 2000 gala fundraiser for Mrs. Clinton's Senate campaign.

Ray Reggie, the brother of Kennedy's wife Victoria Reggie, was identified by prosecutors yesterday as the confidential witness who had been cooperating with investigators for three years as part of his bank fraud plea bargain.

No honor among thieves, eh?

During a June 2000 White House visit, the Clintons and the Reggies stayed up late into the night "chatting," the New York Post said.

Asked if Reggie may have also recorded one or both of the Clintons, attorney David Kendall "had no immediate response," the Sun said. The key government witness was "wearing a wire and making secret tapes as recently as last December," the Post said.

But, as slick Willy said, it depends on what the definition of "is" is.
