They are in bed with some large corporations, and corporations that don't give the appropriate bribes and deference get persecuted by the Democrats. Sounds like Mussolini's "Corporate State". I should dig up some of Mussolini's work on this and run a comparison.

Look on the bright side, at least he isn't at home causing trouble and teenaged daughters can go out with a touch more safety.
KIGALI (Reuters) - Former President Bill Clinton visited Rwanda on Wednesday, part of a tour around Africa to promote efforts to fight HIV/AIDS. After meeting with the Kigali government, Clinton said he had agreed to try -- via his Clinton Foundation -- to help Rwanda get hold of cheaper anti-retrovirals, by negotiating with drug companies in the West.
The Clinton Foundation? Isn't that a rather grandiose name for a pornography archive?
"I volunteered to do this because Rwanda has a 22 percent infection rate and you need to turn it round now," he told reporters at the airport.
Bill must think he is the Messiah. The poor natives don't realise the man is a walking Petrie dish; it could be a worse massacre since the Indians got smallpox infected blankets.
"You can't afford to let it go further, like in Botswana or South Africa...I think your country has very good economic progress, good government and is moving in the right direction. It is very important to stop this AIDS thing now and I hope I can help." story
He could help by going home, shutting up and taking a vow of silence. But that doesn't appeal to a publicity hound like him - he has to have the camera, the flicker of flashbulbs, the ability to bite his lip and issue forth a comment to the nodding head dolls of the slavish media. The worst thing we can do to him is to ignore him. The process is beginning, but I feel confident we can get him to drooling madness by continuing to remind him of his irrelevance.
Best Regards, Ivan
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) slipped in an early jab at potential campaign rival Al Gore yesterday. At a breakfast with reporters in Washington, he was asked if he thought the man who lost to George W. Bush would run again. "I just don't have a clue," said Kerry. "Somebody told me the other day that the Republicans are concerned that he won't run."
Kerry quickly adopted a less snarky tone when pressed on why Republicans would say that. "I don't know," said Kerry. "Somebody in the Republican Party said that to me. I think Al Gore is a very smart, very capable person. And he fought hard to the best of his capacity in the last race and bowed out with great grace.
"He certainly has the right to decide that he wants to make another run at it," Kerry went on. "But I think I have a right, as others do, to decide that maybe [Democrats] have something else to offer."
Gore spokesman Jano Cabrera responded that the ex-veep hasn't decided whether to run, but "I wholeheartedly agree with Sen. Kerry that Al Gore is a very smart and capable person." NY Daily News
