The bill – known as the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Database Act of 2005 – has been passed by the Senate and now awaits approval by the House.

"I am pleased that my Senate colleagues took the critical step of approving this legislation that would enable the public to easily find out if a sex offender is living nearby and give them access to the same nationwide database that law enforcement has," the top Democrat said. "I call on my colleagues in the House to do the same."

In comments covered by her official Senate Web site, Hillary made no mention of her husband, who was accused by several women of sexual assault before he was impeached for perjuring himself in a sexual harassment lawsuit.

Likewise, reporters declined to ask her about a Clinton era directive that required state Medicaid programs to cover Viagra, which made the impotency drug available to nearly 800 sex offenders nationwide.

In addition to the Dru Sjodin Act, Mrs. Clinton is a co-sponsor of S. 1086, a more comprehensive bill aimed at cracking down on sexual predators.

That legislation would mandate that violent sex offenders be tracked by a Global Positioning System device. It also establishes a new, federally maintained sex offender DNA database to be used by law enforcement and prosecutors, and makes failing to register as a sex offender a deportable offense.
