Amazing, isn't it?

The Media Hive is finally starting to buzz over stories- and names- we have known about for years.

[AntiGuv]

Hmm.. I should probably make breakfast. At first I read: As long as you've got a Rich man on your arm, you don't need a big mac..

[GOP_Proud]

I just KNOW the Clintoons are somewhere at the bottom of this.

[jshermn]

Isn't amazing that Rich's pardon was not even mentioned. Did they think that we are all senile??

[GOP_Proud]

The Marc Rich/West Virginia connection...in case you didn't know.

The pardon is mentioned in the first paragraph: ...Former American fugitive Marc Rich was a middleman for several of Iraq's suspect oil deals in February 2001, just one month after his pardon from President Clinton, according to oil industry shipping records obtained by ABC News...

Kerry has both .......... a rich wo-man AND a bag.

;-)

*******

Rich is still living in Switzerland and unavailable for comment.

Disguting! This guy (Rich) is just a high rent and pernicious pimp.

A TRAITOR as would be President....

A convicted crook as deal broker for the biggest den of theives on the planet.......

Oh man...like a case of tropicla intestinal disease, we'll never truly be rid of that SOB and his FOB's. We have been splattered so many times with krintons kriminal network, I had actually hoped that Rich was pardoned only because X42 got a taste of Rich's ill-gotten gains and a piece of Denise. Just goes to show that you cannot fathom the bottom of the septic tank by looking at the scum on top.

I am succumbing to the easy belief it would be much easier to simply label ANYONE on the left as a dupe or criminal - no exceptions. Then we could deal with them straight up and in a forward manner without the complications and continuing crisis that a civil accord allows.

I just heard this on the news and had to ask you: do you think this resignation may have anything at all to do with Kofi/Rich/Clinton/oil for food/Iraq? It just seems a little odd to me. I want Kofi's and all the rest of the sleazoids' heads. After all they were ultimately responsible, because of their behind-the-scene dealings, for more of our military personnel getting killed and injured in this war! (This war may not have been necessary in the first place if it weren't for the behind-the-scene dealings.)

*****

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - John Danforth, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has resigned after less than six months in the job, it was disclosed on Thursday.

******

Danforth is the ultimate insider. It smells to me like he's getting out of his position because he doesn't want to be too close to anything too rancid. Or am I just imagining things?
