Oh, this is rich: Taylor Marsh tries to defend Hillary by throwing Bill under a bus:

The Presidential Library of George, and Bill's Foundation

All of these libraries are obscene, the money, the me-me-me idea of them, all of it. Now I know each president has to have one. It's tradition. But it really now has gone over the top, mainly because we don't know how they're funded. After all, we are talking about the presidency. The same goes for foundations, regardless of the good they do.

One of Hillary Clinton's pledges is to reverse this presidential secrecy fetish, which can't come soon enough. But some people don't trust she'll do it. A story about her husband today likely makes people wonder about it all the more.

Today we're reminded of the problems that can arise when it doesn't happen. The New York Times is reporting on a doozy of a foundation story about Bill. It's embarrassing for him. Hillary Clinton's statement on the alleged Kazakhstan - Bill Clinton deal matters, which appears in the same article.



The rest of the article is about Bill, who denies helping Giustra get a mining deal, or that the donation to his foundation had anything to do with their meeting. This also has nothing to do with Mrs. Clinton, but she'll get hit with it anyway. Frankly, this is what weighs on many voters minds. It's also what it looks like and people aren't willing to extend the benefit of the doubt and who can blame them. We've been burned by Bush, with negative stories about Bill worrisome, even as he moves towards more transparency on his foundation. The can she control her husband? line some are pushing comes to mind as well. The objections from Hillary Clinton about Kazakhsan's bid indicates she's quite capable of separating herself from what her husband might do, again, even though he denies any quid pro quo. The question is whether primary voters will give her the chance.
