Clinton burst out laughing when moderator Tim Russert reiterated her phrase "vast right-wing conspiracy" and asked if it still exists.We all know the circumstances that led her to allege the conspiracy - she blamed it for her husband's infidelities with Monica Lewinsky, but that isn't the last time she worried about it:
"Oh, I don't know," she said. "I haven't paid much attention to it for about 10 years. I really don't have any idea. ...I'm just too busy to worry about that."

Speaking Tuesday to Democratic municipal officials, the New York senator used the term to hammer Republicans on election irregularities.
She also used the phrase similarly during a campaign appearance over the weekend in New Hampshire.
