'Ethics don't apply'? Eric Boehlert's pitiful defense of Clinton Foundation given doses of reality

Yep, Boehlert's in overdrive this morning. https://t.co/1LC0DmXx1k

The Clinton Foundation’s ethics violations could be a big problem for Hillary Clinton if she does indeed run for the Democrat nomination next year, especially if the mainstream media pursues the story.

When that happens, Team Hillary can count on Media Matters’ Eric Boehlert to play goalie:

another snarky @washingtonpost piece on Clinton Foundation that forgets to mention it's, y'know, a charity; http://t.co/sxvQbcUsb9 #details

So anything goes as long as an organization operates under the “charity” umbrella? Nice try.

.@EricBoehlert @washingtonpost Is it an issue that Clinton Foundation accepted millions from hostile countries while HRC was Sec of State?

Shouldn't you disclose how much the Clinton Foundation is paying MMFA before every tweet? @EricBoehlert @washingtonpost

How much of that sweet foreign cash is @EricBoehlert/@MMFA raking in? @RBPundit @washingtonpost

— J.G. Petruna (@jgpetruna) February 26, 2015

I'm betting 6 figures/year. RT @jgpetruna How much of that sweet foreign cash is @EricBoehlert/@MMFA raking in? @RBPundit @washingtonpost

So, @EricBoehlert do we have you on record as saying that Hillary Clinton's charity accepting money from foreign governments was ethical?

.@EricBoehlert @washingtonpost Charity? HA! Def of oxymoron-> "Clinton Foundation Charity." True if @mmfa counts as a homeless person.

@RBPundit @EricBoehlert @washingtonpost Slush fund masquerading as a charity. Ask the NYT from 2013:http://t.co/CrvNovE1NX

Boehlert explained further:

@dbetzel @HarrietBaldwin @washingtonpost gee. maybe ask the 8M AIDS sufferers worldwide who get inexpensive medicine via Foundation.

@dbetzel @EricBoehlert @washingtonpost He's just pissed his candidate got her hand caught in the cookie jar when she was SOS.

— Harriet Baldwin ?? (@HarrietBaldwin) February 26, 2015

That seems to be the case.

Update:

Twitter cons spend day attacking Clinton Foundation and its work helping 8M AIDS patients. #smarttake

Count the Washington Post as being among Twitter conservatives, or something.
