[M]y mom passed away a couple years ago, just before I was deciding to run. And she was in the hospital, and I went in to talk to her and tell her what I was thinking of doing.

And she looked at me from her hospital bed and she just looked at me and she said, "Remember: integrity, integrity, integrity." Those are the three words that she left me with.

And my daughters and my wife are people who just are filled with that sense of what's right, what's wrong.

They also kick me around. They keep me honest. They don't let me get away with anything.

Presidential Debate 3


Security Council members deny meeting Kerry

By Joel Mowbray
SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Published October 25, 2004


U.N. ambassadors from several nations are disputing assertions by Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry that he met for hours with all members of the U.N. Security Council just a week before voting in October 2002 to authorize the use of force in Iraq.

An investigation by The Washington Times reveals that while the candidate did talk for an unspecified period to at least a few members of the panel, no such meeting, as described by Mr. Kerry on a number of occasions over the past year, ever occurred.

At the second presidential debate earlier this month, Mr. Kerry said he was more attuned to international concerns on Iraq than President Bush, citing his meeting with the entire Security Council.

"This president hasn't listened. I went to meet with the members of the Security Council in the week before we voted. I went to New York. I talked to all of them, to find out how serious they were about really holding Saddam Hussein accountable," Mr. Kerry said of the Iraqi dictator.

Speaking before the Council on Foreign Relations in New York in December 2003, Mr. Kerry explained that he understood the "real readiness" of the United Nations to "take this seriously" because he met "with the entire Security Council...."

...The revelation that Mr. Kerry never met with the entire U.N. Security Council could be problematic for the Massachusetts senator, as it clashes with one of his central foreign-policy campaign themes -- honesty.

...In recent months, Mr. Kerry has faced numerous charges of dishonesty from Vietnam veterans over his war record, and his campaign has backtracked before from previous statements about Mr. Kerry's foreign diplomacy.

Good on 'ya Mia T.!

We watched "Stolen Honor" this evening - this film should be viewed by every American; it is a devastating account of the lies John Kerry told to the policy makers of this nation and they bought it hook line and sinker for votes. Kerry and the rest let good men and women down in the most traitorous way - but John Kerry the most of all as he spread those vicious lies along with Tom Haden and Jane Fonda for personal gain.

NO WAY should any American vote for John Kerry and those News Papers that have indorsed him should see this film. Get a copy and show it to everyone you can.

Researcher Alleges Potential Plagiarism in 11 Passages of Kerry's Writings

BY JOSH GERSTEIN - Staff Reporter of the Sun
October 26, 2004
URL: http://www.nysun.com/article/3775

An academic researcher has found 11 passages in Senator Kerry's published writings that appear to have been taken from other works without attribution, though experts disagree about whether the copying should be considered plagiarism.

Six of the passages come from Mr. Kerry's 1997 book, "The New War: The Web of Crime That Threatens America's National Security." All bear some similarity to news accounts that preceded publication of the book.

In one instance, Mr. Kerry wrote, "Russian mobsters have been arrested in Germany for extortion, car theft, counterfeiting, prostitution, selling drugs and illegal weapons, and smuggling everything from icons to uranium."

A 1993 Philadelphia Inquirer article, written by Barbara Demick, said, "Suspected Russian mobsters have been arrested in Germany and charged with extortion, car thefts, counterfeiting, prostitution, gambling, and selling drugs and illegal weapons. They have been caught smuggling everything from religious icons to uranium." Mr. Kerry's book contains endnotes but makes no reference to the Inquirer story.

A former English professor and author of two books on plagiarism, Robert Harris, examined that example and others and concluded that many of the instances clearly constituted plagiarism.

"If I had that in a student paper, I'd fail the paper, give them a zero, and make them redo it. On a second offense, I'd fail them for the course," he said. "This kind of plagiarizing, it's really unprofessional."

Another plagiarism expert, Thomas Mallon, said he does not discuss individual cases but would be inclined to apply a more lax standard to Mr. Kerry than is typically used in academia.

"If you want to live in the real world, a politician has to be cut a bit of slack," said Mr. Mallon, who wrote an oft-cited book on plagiarism, "Stolen Words." He said one reason to be more lenient is that everyone assumes that most words uttered by politicians or published under their names were actually written by speechwriters or ghostwriters. "Realism dictates that any reader who spots unattributed passages has to concede a certain exculpation to the politician simply on the assumption that the politician did not write the material," Mr. Mallon said.

Mr. Harris took a different view. "If we're trying to fight plagiarism in the schools and kids see politicians doing it or getting away with it, that makes the battle all the much harder," he said.

Both Messrs. Mallon and Harris said they are supporters of President Bush. They also said they did not believe that fact had colored their assessment of the situation.

A spokesman for Mr. Kerry's campaign did not respond to phone and email messages seeking comment for this story. Told of the allegations, a former counsel to the senator, Jonathan Winer, said he was "highly suspicious" that they were surfacing so close to the election.

In another passage in "The New War," Mr. Kerry wrote, "Recent reports indicate that uranium is being stored in the sort of lockers used by students in American high schools. In Murmansk, a Russian naval officer crawled though a hole in the fence surrounding a submarine fuel facility, broke into a locker, and hacked off a ten-pound hunk of enriched uranium, which he hid in his garage. He was caught only when he attempted to find a buyer."

An article that appeared in Maclean's magazine in April 1996, written by Malcolm Gray and William Lowther, reads,"Uranium is kept in the sort of lockers found in North American high schools....A Russian naval officer in Murmansk who crawled through a hole in the fence surrounding a submarine fuel facility...entered a building that was unlocked, broke into a locker, hacked off a 10-lb. chunk of enriched uranium and hid it in his garage. He was looking for a buyer when he was caught."

The Maclean's article is cited in Mr. Kerry's book but only as the source of a direct quote that appears earlier.

In "Our Plan for America: Stronger at Home and Respected in the World," the official campaign book for Mr. Kerry and his running mate, Senator Edwards of North Carolina, the candidates write at one juncture about the benefits of wind power as an energy source. "In many states, individual farmers and ranchers lease their property to wind power companies and receive an annual payment for having wind turbines on their property. With the right leadership, this could become a 'cash crop' for many other farmers and ranchers from around the country and stabilize rural economies," they wrote.

An Energy Department fact sheet published in January 2003 reads, "In many states, individual farmers and ranchers lease their property to wind power companies and receive an annual payment for having one or more wind turbines on their property. This could become a predictable 'cash crop' for many other farmers and ranchers across the country, and help to boost farm and ranching incomes and stabilize rural economies."

The examples of alleged plagiarism were compiled by a doctoral candidate who asked not be further identified. He declined to discuss his political views, but insisted that he is not connected with President Bush's campaign. "I don't normally, even in private discussions, get involved in politics," he said. "I don't hate Kerry."

The student said he picked up a copy of "The New War" early last year and became suspicious that some sections of it might not have been properly attributed. He soon began looking at other of Mr. Kerry's writings. "This just struck me as interesting," the student said. He said his interest was fueled further by a recent spate of stories about plagiarism allegedly committed by high-profile figures, such as a Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe and two popular historians, Stephen Ambrose and Doris Kearns Goodwin.

The New York Sun first reported earlier this month on one of the cases the researcher identified, a passage in a Kerry speech about desegregation that appeared to have come from an article in an online magazine, Slate.

The student said he did not step forward sooner because he was concerned that he might be harassed if his identity were exposed. He recently attempted, unsuccessfully, to sell his research through an Indianapolis lawyer. The Sun, which first obtained details of the charges on Friday, did not provide the source with any compensation.

In a statement, a spokeswoman for Simon & Schuster, which published "The New War," said the publishing house "stands behind Senator Kerry's book." She declined further comment.

However, one outlet for the senator's work, a well-known journal, Foreign Policy, disputed one claim of missing attribution.

In an article the journal published in March 2003, Mr. Kerry wrote, "As of January 2002, the U.S. Army had an average 44 percent shortfall in translators and interpreters in five critical languages: Arabic, Korean, Mandarin-Chinese, Persian-Farsi and Russian. The State Department reported a 26 percent shortage of authorized translators and interpreters."

About a year earlier, a similar passage appeared in the magazine Government Executive. In that article, Katherine Peters wrote, "The Army reported on average, a 44 percent shortfall in translators and interpreters in five critical languages-Arabic, Korean, Mandarin-Chinese, Persian-Farsi and Russian. The State Department has a 26 percent shortfall in authorized translator and interpreter positions."

A spokesman for Foreign Policy, Jeffrey Marn, said Mr. Kerry's article was not based on the earlier story by Ms. Peters.

"The sole source was a January 2002 report to Congress by the Government Accounting Office, 'Foreign Languages: Human Capital Approach Needed to Correct Staffing and Proficiency Shortfalls,'" Mr. Marn wrote in response to a query from the Sun. "The information cited from the GAO report was an official statistic from a public record. The sentence is neither inaccurate nor is it plagiarized."

The year-old article, which as of yesterday was prominently featured on Foreign Policy's home page on the Web, does not make reference to the report prepared for Congress or to the Government Executive piece.

Mr. Kerry's article also appears to misstate somewhat the accounting office's findings. The report prepared for Congress found that the State Department had not filled 13 of its 50 authorized, budgeted positions for linguists. However, it also noted that State had "more than 1,800 translators and interpreters who could be called upon as needed" for contract work.

Oddly, one of Mr. Kerry's closest advisers in his current campaign for the White House, John Sasso, played a key role in exposing one of America's most renowned cases of political plagiarism. In 1987, Senator Biden withdrew from the Democratic presidential primary after it was disclosed that large portions of his closing statement at a debate were nearly identical to portions of speeches delivered earlier by a leader of Britain's Labour Party.

At the time Mr. Sasso was manager of the campaign of one of Mr. Biden's rivals, a governor of Massachusetts, Michael Dukakis. Mr. Sasso gave several reporters a videotape highlighting the similar speeches. At first he denied involvement in bringing the plagiarism to light, but later he admitted to it. Mr. Dukakis fired Mr. Sasso, but rehired him after winning the nomination.

Plagiarism is nothing new for Kerry....

Kerry is devoid of both creativity and character...
While either, taken alone, is pardonable (just check the DC cloakrooms),
I think he will find that both--i.e., to be both unoriginal and unscrupulous--
is simply not acceptable to the American voter....

I must say, if a mother calls a son a 'congenital liar', doesn't that mean he was born that way? Wouldn't that make the mother somewhat complicit?

I must say, if a mother calls a son a 'congenital liar', doesn't that mean he was born that way? Wouldn't that make the mother somewhat complicit?


William Safire faced the same charge when he called that other congenital liar a congenital liar. This was his response:

 

 

 

 

 

he first word I had in mind was 'prevaricator,' which means 'liar,' and the second one was 'dissembler,' which also means 'liar.'"

"And then I said to myself, 'I'm in the opinion business, why can't I express my opinion with the simple English word that everybody understands?'"

He dismissed the charge made by the first lady Friday that he insulted her parents with the use of the word "congenital," because, Safire said, it suggested she inherited dishonesty.

Safire, who writes a column on word usage for the New York Times, said his study of Latin roots showed the word "congenital" is synonymous with "innate," but has evolved into also meaning "chronic" and "habitual."

The word "liar" is a harsh word, he said, "because it says you are deliberately telling an untruth."

"That's what I specify in three instances," he said.

Mrs. Clinton's denial that she ordered the firings of travel office employees in 1993 was not a crime, Safire said, but it was a lie.

(viewing movie requires Flash Player 7, available HERE)

Referring to the Whitewater investigation, Safire questioned the first lady's explanation that another lawyer, not Mrs. Clinton, brought the Arkansas Madison Savings and Loan to the Rose law firm as a client, and she did little of the work. That savings and loan is at the center of the Whitewater investigation.

"If you believe that, then you believe in the tooth fairy," he said.

Minority House Leader Richard Gephardt who also appeared on "Meet the Press," dismissed the probe of Mrs. Clinton's role in Whitewater as a "political witch hunt."

After Safire's column calling the first lady a liar was published, White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry told reporters President Clinton wanted to punch Safire in the nose.

"Meet the Press" moderator Tim Russert presented Safire a pair of red boxing gloves in case he met "some White House operatives" outside of the taping studio.

During an interview Friday with the Los Angeles Times, Mrs. Clinton said, "I cannot take Mr. Safire seriously."

Noting her work as an aide to the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate investigation, she said, "I worked with the committee that impeached President Nixon. Safire worked for President Nixon. As best I can tell, he is still working for the Nixon administration."

The Los Angeles Times published an expanded version of the interview Sunday after the White House complained that a story published Saturday was misleading. The paper did not, however, correct or clarify its original story.

Mark Fabiani, the White House lawyer who handles press inquiries regarding Whitewater, said Mrs. Clinton did not tell the Times the Senate Whitewater Committee would not be a fair forum and she did not dismiss the idea of holding a news conference or appearing before the committee to answer questions raised by the Whitewater investigation.

In the article published Sunday Mrs. Clinton said, "I will do whatever it takes to end this (controversy) and to cooperate."

Essay: Blizzard of Lies

By WILLIAM SAFIRE

Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady -- a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation -- is a congenital liar.

Drip by drip, like Whitewater torture, the case is being made that she is compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.

1. Remember the story she told about studying The Wall Street Journal to explain her 10,000 percent profit in 1979 commodity trading? We now know that was a lie told to turn aside accusations that as the Governor's wife she profited corruptly, her account being run by a lawyer for state poultry interests through a disreputable broker.

She lied for good reason: To admit otherwise would be to confess taking, and paying taxes on, what some think amounted to a $100,000 bribe.

2. The abuse of Presidential power known as Travelgate elicited another series of lies. She induced a White House lawyer to assert flatly to investigators that Mrs. Clinton did not order the firing of White House travel aides, who were then harassed by the F.B.I. and Justice Department to justify patronage replacement by Mrs. Clinton's cronies.

Now we know, from a memo long concealed from investigators, that there would be "hell to pay" if the furious First Lady's desires were scorned. The career of the lawyer who transmitted Hillary's lie to authorities is now in jeopardy. Again, she lied with good reason: to avoid being identified as a vindictive political power player who used the F.B.I. to ruin the lives of people standing in the way of juicy patronage.

3. In the aftermath of the apparent suicide of her former partner and closest confidant, White House Deputy Counsel Vincent Foster, she ordered the overturn of an agreement to allow the Justice Department to examine the files in the dead man's office. Her closest friends and aides, under oath, have been blatantly disremembering this likely obstruction of justice, and may have to pay for supporting Hillary's lie with jail terms.

Again, the lying was not irrational. Investigators believe that damning records from the Rose Law Firm, wrongfully kept in Vincent Foster's White House office, were spirited out in the dead of night and hidden from the law for two years -- in Hillary's closet, in Web Hubbell's basement before his felony conviction, in the President's secretary's personal files -- before some were forced out last week.

Why the White House concealment? For good reason: The records show Hillary Clinton was lying when she denied actively representing a criminal enterprise known as the Madison S.& L., and indicate she may have conspired with Web Hubbell's father-in-law to make a sham land deal that cost taxpayers $3 million.

Why the belated release of some of the incriminating evidence? Not because it mysteriously turned up in offices previously searched. Certainly not because Hillary Clinton and her new hang-tough White House counsel want to respond fully to lawful subpoenas.

One reason for the Friday-night dribble of evidence from the White House is the discovery by the F.B.I. of copies of some of those records elsewhere. When Clinton witnesses are asked about specific items in "lost" records -- which investigators have -- the White House "finds" its copy and releases it. By concealing the Madison billing records two days beyond the statute of limitations, Hillary evaded a civil suit by bamboozled bank regulators.

Another reason for recent revelations is the imminent turning of former aides and partners of Hillary against her; they were willing to cover her lying when it advanced their careers, but are inclined to listen to their own lawyers when faced with perjury indictments.

Therefore, ask not "Why didn't she just come clean at the beginning?" She had good reasons to lie; she is in the longtime habit of lying; and she has never been called to account for lying herself or in suborning lying in her aides and friends.

No wonder the President is fearful of holding a prime-time press conference. Having been separately deposed by the independent counsel at least twice, the President and First Lady would be well advised to retain separate defense counsel.

He dismissed the charge made by the first lady Friday that he insulted her parents with the use of the word "congenital," because, Safire said, it suggested she inherited dishonesty.

Aha! LOL.

I don't see why Hillary was angry at Safire for that comment possibly involving and insulting her parents.

Afterall, Hillary knew from her childhood that her parents weren't too thrilled with her when they gave her a radio and a toaster as bath toys.
