“One more thing … didn’t Secretary of State Clinton write her Senior Thesis on Saul Alinsky?”

She did. But I think it’s interesting to note this, provided by MSNBC, hardly a network devoted to Hillary admiration:

“His offer of a place in the new institute was tempting,” she wrote in the end notes to the thesis, “but after spending a year trying to make sense out of his inconsistency, I need three years of legal rigor.” She enrolled at Yale that fall, a year ahead of a charming Rhodes Scholar from Arkansas.

“I agreed with some of Alinsky’s ideas,” she explained in “Living History,” her 2003 biography, “particularly the value of empowering people to help themselves. But we had a fundamental disagreement. He believed you could change the system only from the outside. I didn’t.”

Is this the Rosetta Stone to HRC’s political philosophy, written some 40 years ago? She admires some things and roundly rejects others.

I guess it depends on who’s doing the reading.

when I use the Steve Martin defense with the IRS

Wasn’t that the “I forgot” defense? LMAO
