An FEC search revealed that x42's new best friend Mr. Epstein has given tens of thousands to the Dem. Senatorial Campaign Cmte, various Dem candidates (including Hillary, Joe Lieberman, Mark Pryor from Arkansas, Schumer) and other Dem causes. I believe this is he:

Jeffrey Epstein is Chairman and CEO of the Financial Trust Company, an exclusive private trust company that provides a unique array of financial planning services, which encompass tax planning, investments and fiduciary arrangements utilizing the expertise of some of the world’s leading financial experts. Mr. Epstein is a member of the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, the New York Academy of Science and a former Rockefeller University Board Member. Mr. Epstein is also actively involved in the Santa Fe Institute, the Theoretical Biology Initiative at the Institute for Advanced Study, the Quantum Gravity Program at the University of Pennsylvania, and also sits on the Mind, Brain & Behavior Advisory Committee at Harvard. His philanthropic affiliations include both the Wexner Foundation and The COUQ Foundation. Mr. Epstein started his career at Bear Stearns with an educational background in physics. He was elected to the Board in October 2001.

Now I ask you, if you had a ton of money to invest, would you entrust it to a liberal Democrat financial planner?

When the toon was on David Letterman he said he has "an obligation to spend at least 50% of my time in public service". I've heard him say this on other occasions.

Let me interpret that, knowing the toon. He flies to Khartoum or wherever, movie stars in tow for bar hopping, gives a speech in which he mentions public issues, then...CHE-CHING!...collects $150,000 for his "public service". That's got to be it, because I can think of nothing else worthwhile he's doing with his time.

Good morning all.

There are WAY too many Jeffery Epsteins running around: every known occupation from a hair transplanter to a member of the trilateral commission...I'll keep digging.

This morning looks like Izzy is headed for the panhandle. Sigh. I'm in the middle of the state so we'll just get another 10 inches and a big mess.

Where's my snorkle?

Little is known about Epstein except that his offices are in the landmarked Villard House across from Le Cirque, and he once employed Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late British press lord Robert Maxwell, in an unspecified capacity.

Hmmmmm. Ghislaine is the brunette.

Click here for your link to NY society! This makes me think that Epstien gave her the "job" to make daddy happy.

Tucker has already shot footage of Clinton,

Say WHAT?!

Michael Kelly is editor of The Atlantic Monthly, I believe. Previously was editor of The New Republic. The owner of The New Republic was a BIG Algore supporter and Kelly got canned when he started criticizing Gore after the "no controlling legal authority" press conference. He was a columnist with the Washington Post for a few years....a somewhat reasonable voice of liberalism (i.e. he didn't make me want to pull my hair out!).

During the Toon's "presidency" it was interesting to watch him slowly turn more and more conservative. He saw right through them from the moment they walked on the scene...a gang of phony, lying, dangerous pantywaists. He went rather easy on them at first, only fully attacking them during the Monica debacle. He became thoroughly disgusted with the Dems when they didn't insist the Toon resign. He's been on a tear ever since. He's on Drudge's list and usually pops up on Real Clear Politics.com....his column is ALWAYS worth reading, even when I disagree with him.

I loved this part referring to Gore's speech:

It was breathtakingly hypocritical, a naked political assault delivered in tones of moral condescension from a man pretending to be superior to mere politics. It was wretched. It was vile. It was contemptible. But I understate.

As for this:

Gore uttered his first big lie in the second paragraph of the speech when he informed the audience that his main concern was with "those who attacked us on Sept. 11, and who have thus far gotten away with it."
I hadn't heard this before. Kelly doesn't address that it was the Toon and the Bore who let "those who attacked us" get away with their war crimes for many years prior to 9/11.

The silence in the wake of the Bore's speech is telling...I think it may have been his swan song.

P.S: If you don't read "Real Clear Politics.Com" you should start checking it out every morning. They compile important columns, editorials, and sometimes blockbuster news stories from papers and magazines around the country. The day after important news events, they provide links to all the big editorials on the subject. It's a quick way to peruse that morning's news. Usually up by 8AM EST.

Life with Maxwell (daddy)

Robert Maxwell was one of the last of the post-war tycoons -now a rare breed in Britain.
The kind of life that Robert Maxwell enjoyed now seems to have belonged to another era, one of excess, ridiculous extravagance and outrageous behaviour.

Robert Maxwell: A profile

His death in November 1991 at the age of 68 initially prompted a series of eulogies for his achievements.

His body was later recovered from the sea off the Canary Islands after he had been reported missing from his private yacht - but no one has yet cleared up the mystery of his death.


Robert Maxwell spent his last days on the Lady Ghislaine yacht

You don't suppose... Nah, couldn't be an Arkancide.

What an article - and even this one understates the pitifulness of algore's effort.

Imus spoke with JoeLIEberman this am, and even that simp could not/would not try and defend the speech.

Big props to Michael Kelly - excellenct job.

Ahhh ooooooo! Thank you very much. Great information! Thanks too for the link to Real Politics, I'll bookmark it and check it out every morning.

Btw, were you concerned that Rush might get knocked off because of the storm hitting us or because you all up there in Alabama might lose power? I have this great little portable radio (Sony), it goes with me everywhere. It's not like those big bulky ones, just an AM/FM radio and is only about 4" big. I love it. :-)

American actor Kevin Spacey videotapes a lecture by former US president, Bill Clinton, on Democratization and Economic Development, at Abuja, Nigeria, Tuesday Sept. 24, 2002. (AP Photo/Saurabh Das)

Looks like Kevin is "between projects," as they say in H'weird.

Clintoon's big African adventure continues:

KIGALI, Rwanda - Former U.S. President Bill Clinton on Wednesday said the world has a stake in helping Africans survive AIDS and in using the knowledge gained to help other regions of the globe where the disease is growing at alarming rates. "I believe reversing the AIDS (pandemic) is the most important issue that is facing the whole world," Clinton said. "It should unite all people."

.... The rate of HIV/AIDS infection in the tiny central African nation is among the highest in the world, partly due to the 1994 genocide [which the Clinton administration completely ignored at the time] during which HIV-positive Hutu extremists deliberately raped minority Tutsi and politically moderate women from the Hutu majority to infect them. full story.

I was referring to his getting hit by the storm. It's been raining here since noon yesterday....and I don't mean a drizzle. Good hard rain. Good deep sleep! Looks like it won't stop anytime soon.

You're welcome on the realclearpolitics.com...(you always wondered how I found time to read all those papers in the morning, didn't you?)

"Even if Rwanda and Africa have the most cases of AIDS, the disease is growing faster in other parts of the world," Clinton told patients and government officials at a dusty health center outside the Rwandan capital.

...and that would be where?

Did you see Brit Hume's show yesterday? He caught the bore in a lie BIG TIME. From bore's speech:

I was one of the few Democrats in the U.S. Senate who supported the war resolution in 1991. And I felt betrayed by the first Bush administration's hasty departure from the battlefield, even as Saddam began to renew his persecution of the Kurds of the North and the Shiites of the South - - groups we had encouraged to rise up against Saddam. It is worth noting, however, that the conditions in 1991 when that resolution was debated in Congress were very different from the conditions this year as Congress prepares to debate a new resolution. Then, Saddam had sent his armies across an international border to invade Kuwait and annex its territory. This year, 11 years later, there is no such invasion; instead we are prepared to cross an international border to change the government of Iraq. However justified our proposed action may be, this change in role nevertheless has consequences for world opinion and can affect the war against terrorism if we proceed unilaterally.

Then Brit had bore's speech from the Senate floor when he praised President Bush (41) for the admirable job he did winning the war and sticking to the promise to the UN that we stop at liberating Kuwait.

Yes, I did happen to catch that LIEberman tap dance on Imus this morning. Conscience of the senate my ass!

Hey, don't try to confuse us with facts. Don't you know that only feelings and emotion are relevant when it comes to a discussion of AIDS?
