How about that Hillary Clinton: She's already breaking her campaign promises - and she doesn't even have her party's presidential nomination yet.

Clinton yesterday reneged on her vow to explain how she'll "pay for everything" she proposes when she pushed a whopping $110 billion "economic stimulus" package - and offered no fund source to underwrite its cost. ...

"I happen to think in running a disciplined campaign - especially when it comes to fiscal responsibility, which is what I'm trying to do - everything I propose, I have to pay for," she vowed. ...

Well, not every single proposal, it turns out. ...

There's a four-letter word for that kind of invisible-money financing: D-E-B-T. (That, or hiking taxes - which she has promised to do in other contexts, but is silent about on this one.) ...

Clearly, Hillary's plan is meant as one big pander, a way for her to buy votes, as key primaries - e.g., South Carolina and Nevada - draw near. ...

For now, however, consider Clinton a real leader. When it comes to speedy backtracking on campaign vows - even in such critical areas as fiscal responsibility - Hillary now leads the pack.
