Ask Clinton some tough questions

Let’s try another way to get Hillary to answer questions. If time to prepare gets her to respond, let’s give her a week or so to get answers together, and ask her some real questions, like these:

1. Consider that as far back as 1996, and as recently as this year, communist China has slipped you and Bill bags of cash (literally, in one case). Also consider that they did so risking the ire of good Americans, for these contributions are against the law. So, we would like to know, why would they take such risks to get you and Bill back into the White House? What is going on between you and China?

2. Please tell us who you spent the summer of 1972 interning for in California.

3. Do you count the time you defended the Black Panthers in your “35 years of experience working for children”? The woman they murdered had kids too.

Wouldn’t these be more newsworthy than the prattle she and the press have exchanged to date?
