Another of Hillary’s ‘Ooops’; add it to the list

Michelle Malkin points out another one of the hypocritical factoids with regard to the Clintonistas:

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and former president Bill Clinton have operated a family charity since 2001, but she failed to list it on annual Senate financial disclosure reports on five occasions.

But it’s just an ‘oversight’….what the hell do they care about ‘ethics’…Clinton is forbidding anyone to mention her husband’s impeachment.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has a new commandment for the 2008 presidential field: Thou shalt not mention anything related to the impeachment of her husband.

Do as I say, not as I do, “we’re going to take things away from you for your own good.” The list of despicable actions on the Clintons’ part is piling up. Yet, they continue on. Faced with that reality and the reality of the Heinz-Kerry’s, and George Soros…I’m really afraid for what’s to happen in the future for our country. I mean you can take Teresa Heinz-Kerry’s monetary influence over politics alone, and it trumps all the conservative foundations combined.

But the Clinton Foundation has had its own part in significant contributions to leftist causes:

The foundation has enabled the Clintons to write off more than $5 million from their taxable personal income since 2001, while dispensing $1.25 million in charitable contributions over that period.

Clinton’s spokesman said her failure to report the existence of the family foundation and the senator’s position as an officer was an oversight. Her office immediately amended her Senate ethics reports to add that information late yesterday after receiving inquiries from The Washington Post…

…The charity is separate from the New York-based William J. Clinton Foundation, which has directed $10 billion in corporate money and resources toward slowing the global spread of AIDS, addressing climate change, and reducing hunger and poverty in developing countries.

The smaller family foundation lists as its address a post office box in Chappaqua, N.Y., where the Clintons live. Hillary Clinton is listed as secretary and treasurer, Bill Clinton as president and the couple’s daughter, Chelsea, as a director. None takes any compensation.

The charity has been funded with money from lucrative book deals for both Clintons and from speechmaking by Bill Clinton since they left the White House in 2001. The foundation’s tax filings are available on an Internet repository for IRS documents. The only time the Clintons mentioned the foundation on her ethics report was in 2002, in a footnote about their $800,000 donation that year, but it did not disclose as required her position or other information about the foundation. In subsequent years, they made no mention of it.

$10 billion in corporate money! Those eeevvvilll corporations! I guess the only time it’s acceptable for them to make profits is when the money is funneled into helping destroy Amerikka. “Addressing climate change”. It doesn’t leave you wondering very long what THAT means.
