Clinton gala spurs courtroom drama: IS SHRILLARY TOAST?

Drudge Report ^ | May 9, 2005 | By Raymond Hernandez

WASHINGTON · It is a cast worthy of a political thriller: a former convict whose claims about a former president and first lady spurred a criminal investigation; a prominent senator's brother-in-law, who worked undercover for federal agents looking into the case; sworn enemies of the former first family trying to dig up fresh dirt; and some Hollywood stars.

All these characters will share some of the spotlight beginning Tuesday in a Los Angeles courtroom, where David F. Rosen, the former fund-raising director for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, will go on trial on charges that he illegally underreported the cost of a fund-raiser for Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign.

But Paul says the Clintons and their associates turned their backs on him after The Washington Post disclosed his criminal past, which includes a guilty plea in 1979 to cocaine possession and an attempt to defraud the government of Fidel Castro out of millions of dollars.

Hey Doug, someone's covering the story! Hard to believe. It says Clintoon ditched this Peter Paul Almond Joy character because he had a criminal record. I think it's the fact that he ripped of Fidel Castro that set the libs off.

[George Smiley]

What's really funny is that when I clicked on the Sun-Sentinel link, the article came up with an online ad at the top right: "Could you use an extra $12,000 a year?"

Exactacally.

[George Smiley]

The 50 pages of Paul's civil suit are much more illustrative.

Half of Hollywood might end up testifying if it really got going, as he mentions chapter and verse- what was said to whom, and who was present at each of the occurrences.

Scot Turow or John Grisham could not dream this stuff up.

Truth is stranger than fiction. But in books, the good guys win. In reality, the bad guys and girls buy their way out.

Wow, you tried to rip off Fidel and you didn't think Bill and Hill would make you pay?

Characters in this ugly courtroom drama:

(please shield eyes as the visual for some people may be as shrill as the voice):

Junior nightmare from New York.

"It's all about me."

Peter, Paul, and Mary. Whatever. I'm sure they would have been at that "gala" if they'd been invited.

He was at the party. Why why why? What happened to "Gentlemen's Agreement?" How could you hang with that pig?

Norman Lear. At the party. Head of People for American Communism or whatever his little group is called.

NOT at the party. But wouldn't you like to hear this guy's play by play on the trial? Yeah.

[princess leah]

Oh, I hope Dennis Miller does some of his sketch comedy off this trial - he is hilarious!

[doug from upland]

The Clintons can't say they didn't know about Peter's "colorful" past. He was vetted by the Secret Service six time. That report then gets sent to the political office of the White House.

I'll tell the Castro story soon in my regular PETER PAUL AND HILLARY episodes.

[doug from upland]

The NY TIMES has covered the story. I've left a message for Ray Hernandez to correct something, but he won't return the call.

[Tuba Guy]

Who, Me ??!!

"Could I use an extra $12,000 a year?"

Well, actually yes! Like the crap I got in the mail on Friday last. Offered me something like $5,255.37 with a repay rate of only $150 per month, @ 16.95%!!! Man, did that hit the trash in ripped up form quickly!!!

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Slime follows scum. I'm surprised this guy tried to rip off Fidel and lived.

IS SHRILLARY TOAST?

..not if the gov. loses their witnesses get "Arkancided/Fosterized" first...an Fort Marcy Park Dirt Nap.

[Congressman Billybob]

Once again, FreeRepublic is ahead of Drudge and the MSM. This very subject was on FR two weeks ago, under the title, "L.A. Chappaquiddick: Starring Hillary Clinton." Welcome to the club, Matt. LOL.

Congressman Billybob

Latest column: "Lies, D*mned Lies, and the Washington Post"

[MisterRepublican]

Hillary isn't toast. The Teflon Senator will probaly get some left wing foundation's award for all this.

[Cinnamon Girl]

She may get an award, she may get re-elected in NY, just like Teddy kennedy gets reelected over and over and over, but she won't get elected president if she gets busted enough.

[subterfuge]

Now just a gol-darned minute there Tuba Guy! You are NOT playing fair!!

Sonafabitch that pic is harsh! PLEASE do NOT do that again. I gotta take a shower now...
