Kevin Drum wrote an article for Mother Jones, which was reprinted on Bill Moyers' website. It takes a fairly even-handed look on the charge --- or suggested, whispered hints --that Hillary Clinton is "cozy" with Wall Street. He ends with the conclusion, "I think it’s safe to say that Clinton has hardly been a scourge of the banking industry. Until recently, her main interests were elsewhere. But if there’s a strong case to be made for 'coziness,' I’ve failed to find it. Anyone care to point me in the right direction?" The most interesting passage is where he takes a look at the biggest, most recent (and really, only specific charge) that comes from a 2004 video by then-professor Elizabeth Warren, suggesting that Ms. Clinton had changed her position on a bankruptcy bill from the time she was first against the bill when she was First Lady to when she later voted for it -- when it came up again for passage -- when she was a senator. Drum writes -- The only concrete criticism was one that Elizabeth Warren made in 2004: that Clinton had changed her view on the bankruptcy bill after she accepted lots of Wall Street money to get elected to the Senate.
