Does Shrillary Appreciate Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?

In his column of December 2, viewable at http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/will120207.php3, George Will discusses the lack of clarity that is a hallmark of the Clinton campaign.

Yesterday’s USA Today featured a fascinating letter to the editor in which the writer claimed that future historians will trace the start of America’s steep decline to the presidency of George W.
