Let's exhume Teddy and stick him in the Oval Office!
We can tell what his orders will be thusly: If he decays more on the left side then the right, we'll scrap SS privatization. If more on the right than the left, we'll push SS privatization.
If his left arm falls off, we'll try for an Assault Weapons ban renewel. If his right arm falls off, we won't.
If his head falls off and rolls to the right, we'll support Israel. To the left, and we'll cut funding.
TEDDY BACK IN OFFICE! NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE! LET EVERY COUNT VOTE!
"I'm starting to seriously wonder if Pitt isn't secretly on our side."
Same here. It seems almost too obvious to be real. The pied piper leading the rats to their doom.
This is just getting sad now
It would have been even better if he had called himself William Rivers Piper.
Hmmmm...
In short, Kerry chased every Republican will-o'-the-wisp, but only stumbled over BCCI. And when a continued investigation treatened his own party, he began to go slow. This would explain his readiness to drop an investigation that he had originally hoped would make his name, just when it was finally on point of coming up with the goods.
But there is also evidence that the fall of BCCI would have hurt Kerry's career directly. Clark Clifford, Robert Altman, and another law partner donated $4,000 to Senator Kerry and $1,000 to Senator Pell in early 1989--long after Clifford visited Kerry as BCCI's lawyear-lobbyist, long after Kerry had heard of the secret links between Clifford and BCCI. Insight's Eric Felton makes the additional point that Senator Kerry's impropriety-- receiving a donation from someone under suspicion in his own investigating--cannot be put down to botched staff communications: Kerry met Clifford at the fundraising party Pamela Harriman threw to kick off his 1989--90 re-election campaign, so he was presumably alerted to the possibility of a contribution.
Moreover, for the 1987-88 election cycle Kerry served as Chairman of the Democratic Senational Campaign Committee (DSCC), the Senate Democrats' very own political-action committee. In that capacity, he appointed David L. Paul, the head of CenTrust, a high-flying Florida savings and loan, as head of the DSCC's Majority Trust--the private-sector "partner" who could deliver the money.
CenTrust donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrats in PAC money alone. In addition, I have discovered that the "non-political" CenTrust Foundation also poured cash into Democratic coffers, including $100,000 to the now notorious (Jimmy) Carter Center (of which $50,000 came from Pharaon and was merely laundered through CenTrust) and $25,000 in 1989 to Senator Alan Cranston's Center for Participation in Democracy, also the prime beneficiary of Cranston's friendship with Charles Keating. Beginning in January 1989, CenTrust also paid $48,000 to DSCC finance chairman Steven Wilson under the heading "overcoming regulatory issues" with federal bank investigators. In January 1989, Wilson donated $1,000 to Senator Kerry.
David Paul was personally very much involved in this largesse. He threw fundraisers for the Democrats on his thrift's $67-million yacht. He gave them free rises on his corporate jet. And, in an event extraordinary even for what Democrats call the Decade of Greed, he invited Senators John Kerry and Wyche Fowler (a Georgia Democrat and another friend of CenTrust) to his December 1988 French Chefs gala dinner, for which six chefs were flows in from Paris to provide a feast costing $123,000--all expenses paid by CenTrust.
So, as a senator running for re-election, John Kerry received donations directly from Clark Clifford, who was a BCCI attorney and former chairman of a bank secretly and illegally owned by BCCI. As chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, he raised funds in close cooperation with David Paul, whose thrift was deeply enmeshed with BCCI. As a subcommittee chairman, Kerry proved dilatory in following up indications that BCCI was an international rogue.
Senator Kerry is an extremely luckly man. If he were a Republican, all this might amount to a scandal.
DemonCrap Election Law # 1762: "It's only fraud when Republicans do it."
Of course it's a scam. Bev Harris bilked these clowns out of thou$ands, and now they're gonna do it again. In 2007, they'll be saying, "Woo Hoo! Yes! I heard that Jean Cheri sneezed today! That's a code for his team to file more election lawsuits! Bush is goin' down!"
You missed one but don't feel bad everyone else seems to have missed it too.

My message to the DUmmies- please, please, please keep talking about this. All the time. To all your friends. The more people that see their lunacy first hand, the easier it is for our side.
Great job DUmmies! Keep belting out the Crazy all the way to the back row!
Silly Hippies, W Won! (AGAIN!!)
Someone know how to make that into a bumper sticker?
I actually think that Pied Piper Pitt posted this DUmmie thread KNOWING that it is so HILARIOUSLY ridiculous that it would be DUFUed for sure. Why? Because Pied Piper Pitt is so DESPERATE for attention that he wants to be featured on the DUmmie FUnnies since he knows he will be the center of attention again. It sure worked, Pitt. I fell for your scheme hook, line, and sinker. Most likely I will fall for more of Pitt's purposely ridiculous DUmmie posts in the future. I'll fall for it every time, Pitt!
If Jeff Kleinman of the Graybill and English Literary Agency ever gets around to contacting me about a DUmmie FUnnies book, I have an idea for a great animated graphic for the CD-ROM insert featuring Pied Piper Pitt playing his flute as the DUmmie lemmings go over the cliff. Any suggestions for the flute tune? Maybe the theme tune from "The Sting." However, I am open to other suggestions.
I know, personally, I played to another forum (read: series of rapidly closed forums) for a full two, maybe three years. I wrote the most OBJECTIONABLE and OUTRAGEOUS posts I could , playing into EVERY one of their LazamaMyths, to bait the AntiFreepers. While I will still post outrageously, I won't be bothering to bait them any more.
But it was a fun several-year run. And don't they feel like idiots. :o)
(Actually, the last time I looked at their cesspit, they were desperately trying to rationalize and explain away their idiocy....and were fresh into NEW myth-making.... now I'm a sexual SUBMISSIVE....LOL... if they only knew the truth....)
Wow these guys are really tin-foil hat types.They really believe that Kerry is destined to be placed in office? Man talking about denile.
Then again..."They'll always have Guyana"...I think the national drink is still CoolAid...
Thanks, I was starting to feel cynical for a minute. I have to tear myself away from DU because I always run through too many emotions (don't want to sound too sensitive here). I alternate between feeling downright sad for these people who look at EVERYTHING as an assault on THEIR civil rights/persuit of happiness/democracy/way of life/etc. and feeling extremely angry about their complete ingratitude for the things that they DO have. All the while vilifying the people (military, civil authorities, government) who make it possible for them to sit in their basements spewing their nonsense. I also feel extremely insulted by them because of their holier than thou/smarter than thou/more entitled than thou attitude about pretty much everything. Ok ... I'll stop ranting. I'm starting to foam at the mouth and am feeling like a protest ... damn, I'm channeling Faye.
I think I should allow Pied Piper Pitt to write a Foreword to the DUmmie FUnnies book. Up to 4 pages unedited. Anything he wants to say. It is bound to be HILARIOUS.
