Clinton and Wally World

Hillary Clinton may not want to spend a lot of time discussing her service on the board of corporate behemoth Wal-Mart, but the Center for Public Integrity does.

The non-partisan, non-profit investigative group posted two videos of Clinton at a Wal-Mart ribbon-cutting. Seems innocuous enough, right? But then they’ve got Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton in a trucker hat, praising Clinton as one of his best board members. For more on the Center’s views of the Clinton Wal-Mart ties – who in Arkansas didn’t have them? – go here.

It’s no fireworks video like this debate clip from Barack Obama and Clinton sniping on the subject, but it is an interesting look back at 1991 – if not for the bad hair and “real” trucker hats then for the glimpse into Clinton’s work for the retail giant.
