Hillary Watch: Second Verse Same as the First

Joe Trippi of the Edwards campaign blasted Clinton for her fundraiser: "If you want to know why we need change in Washington -- and I mean real change, not just trading corporate Republican insiders with corporate Democratic insiders -- then just look at Senator Clinton's schedule... Tickets for the Clinton fundraiser are $1,000 and $25,000 per bundler. And for that money you get more than a meal -- you get a to attend one-hour breakfast sessions in four different areas of homeland security that will include House Committee Chairs and members of Congress who sit on the very committees that will be voting on homeland security legislation."

Trippi should know better than to equalize Republicans and Democrats.

BUT shame on Clinton. Lobbying reform has been needed since early on in Clinton's time as First Lady. You'd hope she'd learn if not from the criticism her husband took for his "sleepovers" then from the nearly unimaginable shattering of lobbying ethics that took place during the last seven years. I guess with Hillary and Bill it's second verse same as the first.
