Hillary's Wal-Mart Years

Could Hillary Clinton have a pending scandal over her years on the board at Wal-Mart? Barack Obama mentioned it in the last debate, and today there's some news about the kind of activist for women's rights that Hillary was:

In six years as a member of the Wal-Mart board of directors, between 1986 and 1992, Hillary Clinton remained silent as the world's largest retailer waged a major campaign against labor unions seeking to represent store workers.

Clinton has been endorsed for president by more than a dozen unions, according to her campaign Web site, which omits any reference to her role at Wal-Mart in its detailed biography of her. ...

An ABC News analysis of the videotapes of at least four stockholder meetings where Clinton appeared shows she never once rose to defend the role of American labor unions.

The tapes, broadcast this morning on "Good Morning America," were provided to ABC News from the archives of Flagler Productions, a Lenexa, Kan., company hired by Wal-Mart to record its meetings and events.

I find this whole thing funny since nobody in the GOP really cares that much about this stuff, but the union folks might take exception.
