No Media Interest in Secret Clinton Tapes?
The New York Times thought it was front page news on Sunday when they obtained secret recordings of presidential candidate George Bush sharing a few personal insights, like admitting that he once tried marijuana.
But the Times and the rest of the prestige press don't seem particularly interested in another set of secret tapes, recorded while one of the participants actually occupied the Oval Office. Only last June, former White House paramour Monica Lewinsky revealed that she's sitting on a stash of never-before-heard tapes of her own - recordings of President Clinton whispering sweet nothings into her answering machine.
At the time, Lewinsky actually threatened to make the tapes public, telling London's Daily Mail:
"If I chose to, I could bring out . . . the messages on the answering machine tapes that no one's heard. I could make it into something big to try to demonstrate that this wasn't just inappropriate intimate contact - that it really was something."
Really something?
Whatever Mr. Clinton said on those still secret recordings, it doesn't sound like Monica's tapes are going to be particularly helpful to Hillary's 2008 presidential campaign.
But if the Times or any of their American counterparts are interested, they have a strange way of showing it. The US media has yet to print a single word about Monica's secret tapes.
Do not forget the money they acquired smuggling illegal drugs into the country, as the kennedy family did.
Why depend on the MSM? If the tapes are so explosive and she really wants to release them, there are outlets that will give a listen: NRO,WND,FOX, to name a few with enough credentials to be respected.
Sounds like hype to moi.
You might want to chew on the implications of this for 2008.
News to me. I thought it was like a penis, but smaller.
Your tag line scares me!
However...
I think it should be against the law to tape unless both parties agree.
But like a lot of other things, sometimes you have to make decisions if you fear for your life or that of others.
I think Linda Tripp genuinely feared for her life. It was obvious that Monica was ready to throw her to the wolves.
And, by the way, she has not written that book...but I'll buy it if she does.
That about sums up what it would be like to see TWO FLABBY a.s TEENAGERS quivering in puppy love antics.
ICK!!!
You refering to Ol Bob Beckel and that Dicky Morris guy?
"I Was A Sucker For the President: The Monica Lewinsky Story, In Bill's Own Whispers"
Wiping vomit off the keyboard...
Unless they are GW tapes the MSN isn't interested.
I've got an original audio tape of Martin Luther King on eBay right now. A speech he made in 1958. Nobody cares! Only 3 people are watching it. It is even autographed. It is shameful...
It is only newsworthy if it can bring down President Bush.
Nope. Neither was Ron Brown.
Hang tight. So far three bids, not bad for having 2 more days to the action. A lot of people are hanging loose till the last minute..... Excellent Me page.
Thank you...
