NYPost CHEAP SHOTS FROM HER GLASS HOUSE Sunday,March 25,2001

By STEVE DUNLEAVY

HILLARY CLINTON, who makes Imelda Marcos look like a turnstile jumper, must enjoy being the butt of Jay Leno's monologues.

Here she was in upstate Corning yesterday, building yet another towering inferno of hypocrisy that would almost be funny if it didn't look like a menu of the personal screw-ups committed by both her and her husband.

She flayed at the Bush administration, attacking everything from his policy on the environment, health care, education and tax cuts - pretty much blamed him for everything except the snow.

It was beautiful when she said: "It's not just trying to turn back the clock on the Clinton administration; they want to turn the clock back on the Roosevelt administration."

No such movement of history under the watch of Bill and Hill.

They tried nothing to turn back the clock, not even 80 years ago in 1921. That, of course, was when Warren Harding had stewardship over the "Teapot Dome Scandal."

No, Clinton didn't want to turn back the clock. He wanted to improve on the size of scandals, and what a good job he did.

The all-time decathlon Olympic champion of sex, lies and videotape.

Hillary took the chance to hit the Bush administration on the environment.

Look what the Clinton gang did - gave away zillions of acres, was held hostage to the gasoline gangsters of OPEC, did not lift a finger to articulate an energy policy, and has now given the state of California a power crisis that hasn't been seen in a country that wasn't under wartime footing.

Health care? What a joke! Here was Hillary Clinton as the architect of one of the most disastrous pipe dreams on health care that this country has ever seen outside a mental institution.

Education? The Hill and Bill team had brought the education policy to its knees, to the point where our kids don't even rate in learning within the first ten major civilizations in the world.

Tax cuts? Like their second story job at the White House, where they pinched everything that wasn't nailed down, the Clinton gang had spent and spent and taxed and taxed until halfway through the year 2000, Clinton prepared to hand George Bush an economy that had screeched to a halt.

I'm going to be particularly interested when the rolling blackouts creep East and see what the Hill and Bill crew will say about the energy crisis.

Oh, they'll be against any move to build refineries. They will scream and yell about moose and polar bear being harassed in the wilderness of Alaska to make way for oil exploration.

And yet, let's see what they do in their offices - for which between them they'll be soaking the taxpayers for a million dollars a year.

These people cannot help themselves. They criticize others for the baldfaced failures they themselves have committed.

Their sense of history goes back to the last set of cutlery they lifted, and if I was Hillary Clinton, I would keep my mouth zippered.

A letter from Joe Brady, a reader:

"Dear Steve,

"Could you possibly persuade the people at Marist or Zogby to poll the people of New York state on the question of whether, in view of recent events, they would again vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton?"

I cannot promise, Joe. But what a 24-carat idea.

my, such strong writing. No doubt Hill and his wife Bill will ignore anything bad about the years they held the USA hostage.
