Hillary’s schedule - where’s the beef?
Bill Clinton’s library released 11,046 pages of Hillary Clinton’s schedule during her White House years. The Clinton campaign claims it bolsters her experience claims.
"These documents are outlines of the first lady’s activities and illustrate the array of substantive issues she worked on — including health care, child care, adoption, education, veterans, microenterprise and international development, women’s rights and democracy," spokesman Jay Carson said.
That’s to be expected. Campaign rhetoric, but no evidence of fact yet. It would have been helpful if the campaign had made at least a few specific references to substantiate their claims, rather than extremely broad, generic topics or subjects. Maybe they have released something more specific and I just have not read it.
The Washington Post’s characterization has zero probative value. I’m not sure why they even bothered to include it. However the Caucus reports the schedules “carry all the emotional punch of a factory worker’s time card, showing where she was for much of her eight years in the White House but telling nothing about what she was saying, thinking or doing.”
Assuming the Caucus’s description is reasonably accurate, it is not clear to me how the release bolsters any of Clinton’s experience claims. How could calendar entries possibly be substantive without minutes, summaries, or agendas?
The records at the Clinton library can be found here.
For the record, the schedule spans 2915 days, which averages out to 3.79 events per day.
