Hillary gets some rough letters in the Washington Post today:
Those ‘Bundles’ of Money
Washington Post February 12, 2007
Regarding “The $1 Million Bundler” [editorial, Feb. 5] and “Sen. Clinton’s Bundles” [editorial, Feb. 8]:
If The Post is waiting for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) to release the names of her big bundlers, it will wait forever. As a New York constituent of Ms. Clinton, I can attest that she is far removed from the concepts of open disclosure, cooperation and frankness. Many local groups have tried to set up meetings with her (or even a member of her staff) for years, but to no avail.
I have never heard of anyone locally receiving a response to an e-mail, letter or phone call to her office. She apparently does not believe that, even as our senator, she owes us anything.

The Feb. 8 editorial about presidential candidates disclosing information about their cash bundlers is right on the money. How about coupling it with a Post condition of employment that writers, editors and columnists publicly disclose all their organizational memberships, such as the National Rifle Association, Friends of the Earth, Sierra Club, Greenpeace, etc. What’s good for the goosed ought to be good for those who would gander.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton may have raked in some big bucks at her party for “bundlers,” but she has also lost votes from people such as me who are turned off by the big money game in the old politics as usual.
