Clintons
and Bushes
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
Given Hillary Clinton's emergence as the frontrunner,
a Consortiumnews.com reader asked that we post
the entire first chapter of Robert Parry's 2004
book, Secrecy & Privilege:
The book opens with a scene early in the second
year of Bill Clinton's presidency with him explaining to
White House guests why he didn't pursue geopolitical
scandals that had implicated George H.W. Bush
in gross abuses of power and arguably criminal
acts.
Clinton made clear he saw historical truth as
less important than his hopes for Republican cooperation on
his domestic agenda. But this willingness to
sweep major scandals under the rug left the White House
back door ajar for a restoration of the Bush
Family dynasty a half dozen years later - with disastrous
consequences for the American Republic.
This is the second time Parry has charged Clinton with ignoring the
future.
Let's hope Hillary does a better job.

Slappy the Credible?
Excerpt:
Anita Hill was not the only women to allege that
she had been sexually harassed by Thomas. Angela Wright,
who worked with Thomas at the EEOC, told the
Senate Judiciary Committee that Thomas had repeatedly
made comments to her, much like those he allegedly
made to Hill, pressuring her for dates, commenting on
her body, etc. As chair of the Judiciary Committee,
Sen. Joseph Biden decided against publicly hearing
Wright's testimony. Transcripts were, however,
released to the press.
Another former Thomas assistant, Sukari Hardnett,
made further damaging charges against him. Although
Hardnett made it clear she was not accusing Thomas
of sexual harassment, she provided the Judiciary
Committee with sworn testimony that "if you were
young, black, female, reasonably attractive and worked
directly for Clarence Thomas, you knew full well
you were being inspected and auditioned as a female."
When Hardnett's statement was reported in major
national papers, it was usually buried. And the American
whore media continues to protect the Republicans
by continuing to assert that the Hill/Thomas matter
was a case of one person's word against another's.

Subject: Hillary and Democrats
I don't know what I don't like more when it comes
to Democrats -
them rolling over or people apologizing for them
like I have been reading on your website.
"Apologizing for Democrats" isn't a phrase you'll see much on this page.
Would you make up an excuse for John Kerry doing nothing to stop Andrew Meyer from being tasered?
No, I spoke out against his cowardice in the taser
incident.
If you were a regular reader, you'd know that.
As for dems - cut the funding!
There is enough money in the pipeline to bring
the troops home.
Probably, but Bush controls the money in the pipeline.
Are you going to defend the dems that voted for the wire tapping bill?
Are we jumping from subject to subject with each
new sentence?
As I understand it, the Dems voted for that so
they wouldn't be late for their vacation.
That makes them cowards and wimps and whiners
who aren't doing their jobs.
So cutting the funding does not mean not supporting the troops.
Back to that subject, are we?
I agree with you, but that's not how the Bush
and the GOP and their whore media will tell it.
And, as I said last issue (if you were a regular
reader you'd know) voters are so damn stupid
they will believe the lies they hear so that
must be avoided.
If Bush leaves them there then the fault is on him not the democrats.
If only we could get the super-stupid voters to agree with that.
You seem to saying it is ok for dems to be pink tutu democrats.
That's not what I'm saying.
I'm saying it's stupid to assist in your own suicide.
I will vote for Hillary if she gets the nomination
for president but for the primary.
I will not be voting for a former board of director
of walmart, Hillary.
I will either vote for Edwards or Dennis K.
Too bad AL Gore is not running
because I would vote for him if he was in the
primary in a heartbeart.
KirkM
What makes you think Gore would disagree with
Hillary, Obama and Edwards?
Like Obama before the war, Gore has the luxury
of sitting out the tough decisions.
Then, once the chips fall, Gore can say, "I
was on that side all along," if
he wants.
Nothing against Gore, but if he was in this fight, he wouldn't be the
saviour with all the answers.
He'd be just another Democratic candidate in the crowded debates.

Rubberstamp kisses Bush's ass
Excerpt:
Last month, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman
Patrick Leahy (D-Rubberstamp) had a simple message:
The President's nominee for attorney general,
Michael Mukasey, wasn't going anywhere until the administration
finally handed over documents he'd long been
seeking.
But now it appears that things are moving along,
though it seems that the administration hasn't handed over anything.
When it comes to standing up to Bush's crimes, Leahy is another Lee Hamilton.
"Is that fair?
Am I a rubberstamp?"

Limbaugh's
Cowardly Smear
by Joe Conason
Excerpts:
The controversy over what Rush Limbaugh meant
when he uttered the phrase "phony soldiers" last week
isn't just another broadcast sideshow. As the
political power of conservatism declines, the symbolic authority
of figures such as Limbaugh is likewise shrinking.
That is why he backs away from his own words, rips them
from context by selectively editing his program's
transcript and insists he didn't demean soldiers and
veterans who dissent from Bush's war policy -
as he and his fellow partisans have done so many times before.

Subject: Hillary Prods Bush to Go After Iran
Bart, you wrote:
> "I was surprised to see Parry's personalization
of the senate vote.
> Seventy six senators voted for that resolution
- perhaps Hillary's signature was extra large?"
Please, the reason for the personalization is
because she is the Democratic Frontrunner.
Doesn't the voting record of the person most
likely to be President matter?
Sure, but her name in the headline made it personal.
That was my comment - why not say,
"Senate passes resolution,"
and then put notable senator's name in the story?
Tha facts aren't that "Hillary prodded Bush."
That was an editorial comment by Parry - a guess.
That's why I e-mailed Parry and asked him to clarify his position.
Then you wrote:
> "Either a nuked-up Iran is a problem or it's
not.
> My guess is that it is."
Really? As Cenk Uyger put it: "what is he
(Ahmadinejad) going to attack us
with? His shoe?"
Haven't they been working on WMDs for years now?
Where are they/is it? The same place as the ones in Iraq?
I can't tell if you're trying to be cute or if you just made a mistake,
I never said they could reach America with their missles, I'm concerned
with Israel.
Bart, Parry is right.
Hilary voted for war against a country (Iraq)
that had not attacked us and was no danger to us.
That's not true, but I doubt arguing with you would make a difference.
She voted for the Iraq war, spent three years
saying how she was wrong to do so,
and now in the exact same situation is voting
to basically do the same thing in Iran.
No.
Parry, Huffington, Uyger, and everyone else on
our side see the obvious, while you are oblivious.
Hillary=War.

Fine - if you can't vote Democrat, vote Republican and see how that

"If I die,
please investigate"
Anti-war soldier predicts impending death - another Tillman?
Excerpt:
Ciara Durkin was home on leave last month and
expressed a concern to her family:
If something happens to me in Afghanistan,
don't let it go without an investigation.
Durkin, 30, was found dead last week. She had been shot once in the head, the Army says.
Fiona Canavan, Durkin's older sister, said today
that when her sister was home three weeks ago,
she told family members that she had come across
some things that concerned her and had raised
objections to others at the base.
"She said, 'I discovered some things I don't like
and I made some enemies because of it.'
Then she said, in her light-hearted way, 'If
anything happens to me, you guys make sure it gets investigated,'
Canavan said. ''But at the time we thought it
was said more as a joke.''

Domenici
quits, blames faulty brain
His disease must've made those illegal phone calls
Excerpt:
Sen. Pete Domenici (R-Corrupt) is retiring after
a generation as a TOP Republican in Congress,
deferring to health concerns after an eternity
of crimes in office.
A statement disclosed that the 75-year-old New
Mexico Republican crook has a progressive disease
that can cause him to make illegal phone calls
to corrupt the Justice Department and act crazy.
"This disease is erratic and unpredictable. It
makes me make phone calls against my better judgment,"
Domenici intends to say Thursday in a formal
statement, according to a draft of remarks prepared.
"On the other hand, Hillary becoming president
and our losing the ability to filibuster have soured
my lust for power and that little Bush-shit has
ruined what was once our dominant political party."

"Thirty five years ago this month, I was running
for Congress in Massachusetts.
I was fighting against a war gone horribly
wrong and politicians who refused to end it.
The pundits said I couldn't lose. They didn't
count on the dirty tricks and smear campaigns
of the Republican Party.
I lost that race - but it taught me a lesson:
you can't spare anything fighting back
every step of the way against the Republican
attack machine."
-- John Kerry, in a fund-raising letter
John, if only that was true.
You may have learned that lesson by now,
but you damn sure had no idea what to do when attacked in 2004.
If I was your campaign manager, you'd be president now.

Random Thought...
Why do the whore networks pretend there's a shortage of real news?
CNN spent most of Wednesday on the "big story" that somewhere in America,
the word "nigger" was used in a test about the racial history of our
country.
The way CNN played it, you'd think Bush invaded Iran.
The talk radio Nazis do the same thing - they find some teacher in Idaho
who says, "Bush is stupid,"
then they attack every teacher in America for being anti-American,
anti-family anarchists.
Why can't CNN tell a big story from a tiny one?

Bush to kids: Drop dead
Excerpt:
Der Fuhrer, in a sharp confrontation with Congress,
on Wednesday vetoed a bipartisan bill
that would have dramatically expanded children's
health insurance.
It was only the fourth veto of Bush's presidency,
and one that some Republicans feared could carry steep risks
for their party in next year's elections. The
Senate approved the bill with enough votes to override the veto,
but the margin in the House fell short of the
required number.
Democrats unleashed a stream of harsh rhetoric,
as they geared up for a battle to both improve their chances
of winning a veto override and score political
points against Republicans who oppose the expansion.
Harry Reid, (D-LimpDishrag), decried Bush's action as a "heartless veto."

What's with
Hillary's laugh?
The Hate Machine will attack anything
Excerpt:
Hillary's laugh is something new to make fun
of, since Clinton's hairstyles, pantsuits, makeup,
and cleavage have been pretty well pawed over.
Clinton's ideological enemies have had fun, too.
Matt Drudge posted a sound clip of it, and Sean Hannity
raised the pressing question of whether Clinton's
laughter was presidential. Hannity should be reminded that
Der Fuhrer's Beavis laugh was such an accurate
imitation he should have to pay Mike Judge royalties.
Like all aspects of the Clinton campaign, there's
sexism in the giggle critique:
Women can only laugh in certain preapproved ways.
Historically, women
either cackle like a witch, or they titter like
a schoolgirl.
Don't look at her policies or her political positions - base your vote on who laughs best.
This is how stupid voters are -
Bush almost got elected in 2000 because some people said
they'd rather have a beer with Bush than Al Gore,
the man with a brain and common sense.
