KnowNothing's brother, Hugh Rodham, secured two of the 141 clinton midnight pardons, one for a cocaine kingpin and the other for a snake-oil swindler. Rodham netted a quick $400,000 for his "work" according to various rodhams and clintons and their assorted lawyers. KnowNothing's campaign treasurer, William Cunningham III, himself a law partner of longtime KnowNothing adviser Harold Ickes, helped obtain last-minute pardons for two convicted felons.
LA FAMIGLIA
Displaying a willingness to throw her brother (along with her husband) to the wolves, Sen. Victim Clinton was quick to make a distinction between her big, bad brother's pardon "work" and that of her campaign treasurer, "a fine lawyer and a fine man." The "family" connection of brother Rodham to Clinton rendered Rodham's "work" offensive, whereas the campaign treasurer Cunningham's connection to the senator and her campaign coffers made his securing of two pardons in record time a sterling example of highminded, effective public service.
KnowNothing has apparently not thought this thing through. If the "family" connection makes lobbying for cocaine-kingpin and snake-oil-swindler pardons unsavory for brother Rodham, then the "family" connection makes lobbying for the Hasidim 4 (see Keating 5) pardons even more distasteful for the wife, First Lady and senator-elect. Moreover, pardons for votes is arguably a greater offense than pardons for cash.
KnowNothing specifically declined to answer when asked whether she discussed the pardons with her husband, effectively pleading the fifth. Turning aside questions about the pardon decisions her husband had made, she told reporters they should address those issues with him and his staff. She refused to say whether he should agree to appear voluntarily before congressional committees investigating the pardons. Interestingly, no one asked her whether she would agree to appear voluntarily before those same congressional committees.
I DIDN'T HAVE SEX WITH THAT PARDON
"I did not have any involvement in the pardons that were granted or not granted," insisted Sen. KnowNothing, seeming to forget her presence at the New-Square/Oval-Office schmooze that secured pardons for the four Hasidic felons who set up a phony school in Brooklyn to swindle the government out of millions intended for the poor.
RESURRECTING RUFF
KnowNothing noted that her"best memory" was that she never spoke to her brother or to Mr. Cunningham about the pardons. With variations of "I don't have a memory" and "my best memory, and avoiding the more obvious "I don't recall" and "my best recollection," KnowNothing reprised the Ruffian standard used during the clinton years to commit perjury without penalty.
I GET LETTERS
...or more precisely, envelopes. During her denials of involvement in any of the pardons, KnowNothing made the curious claim: "People handed me envelopes, I passed them on [and never opened a single one. Honest.]"
Reprising the role of victim that enabled her to win a senate seat in spite of low poll numbers, high personal negatives and consistent public failures, the senator peppered her answers about big, bad Hugh (understanding that the subtext was big, bad Bill) with "saddened" and "disappointed" and "heartbroken" and "shocked."
UTTER CONTEMPT FOR THE PEOPLE
This session today was cut short by a staffer when reporters appeared dissatisfied by Senator KnowNothing's lack of candor.
In the end, this press conference full of poses, poll-tested phrases and prevarication was just another display of the clintons' utter contempt for the people. Bill Clinton committed the same error last Sunday in his shameless, lie-filled New York Times Pardongate Apologia.
The clintons' fundamental error: They are too arrogant and dim-witted to understand that the demagogic process in this fiberoptic age isn't about counting spun heads; it's about not discounting circumambient brains.

bump.
The Dems are repulsed by this loser's sense of entitlement.
AS the truly ego-maniacally-infantilistic male Cli'ton runs about the Earth hedonistically seeking and soaking up the public and private plaudits and plums provided him by his foreign owners operators and controllers, one is reminded that the Cli'tons collectively lack the mental capacity to operate as a team and that neither has either the intellectual or organizational ability to function alone.
Some glimpses have been provided from time to time of our first Billionaire-co-presidents' hugely-rewarding Rich/Soros/Moscow/Hammer/Li/Riady/Peking/bin-Laden-Family/Middle-East/Cocaine/Columbia connections and underpinnings but most often any would-be whistleblowers has been found face-down in a ditch.
So perhaps our best hope is that a repeat of Fort Macy Park will become a necessity as the male Clinton's infantile inability to quit his on-the-road punk rocker-like life of abandon tends to more and more run counter the the mad cow's ambitions and to risk exposing the real manifestations of evil whose product and empty glove puppet each of them is?
Let us pray .......
To win this war, the Ds--and certainly the clintons--must not regain power. Bush must have the courage to identify and defeat the enemy in our midst. (Bush has little support today primarily because he failed to do this.)
The ports deal uproar is really not about trade. Survival is the undeniable subtext, which means instinct and common sense rule.
Common sense tells us that there are so many layers, so many variables, no one can possibly define--much less control--all possible risks.
Common sense tells us that dubious (no pun intended) characters and countries involved in vital infrastructure increase risk by definition.
(If one listened closely to Rush Limbaugh yesterday, one would have heard him say that the ports deal doesn't increase risk appreciably. He did not say the ports deal is without increased risk.)
That the usual corrupt, self-serving clintonoid suspects (clinton, clinton, Albright, Bill Cohen, Vernon Jordan) are in on the action--that they are circling the deal like vultures--should give us pause....

HILLARY 'KNOWNOTHING VICTIM' CLINTON STRIKES AGAIN
December 7, 1941+64 RE: a not-so-modest proposal concerning hillary clinton
Hillary Clinton's revisionist tome notwithstanding, 'living history' begets a certain symmetry. It is in that light that I make this not-so-modest proposal on this day, exactly 64 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The context of our concern today--regardless of political affiliation--is Iraq and The War on Terror, but the larger fear is that our democracy may not survive. We have the requisite machines, power and know-how to defeat the enemy in Iraq and elsewhere, but do we have the will? In particular, do we have the will to identify and defeat the enemy in our midst? Answerable to no one, heir apparent in her own mind, self-serving in the extreme, Hillary Clinton incarnates this insidious new threat to our survival. What we decide to do about Missus Clinton will tell us much about what awaits us in these perilous new times. COMPLETE LETTER |
Don't We all |
Sen. Hillary... has emerged as a leading voice in opposition to the deal, saying, "Our port security is too important to place in the hands of foreign governments."... This is more than a security problem, she says - it's "a larger problem" of ceding "some of our fiscal sovereignty." ... Hubby Bill, on the other hand, supports Dubai. Big time. He not only supports it, he's even been advising the company on the sly on how to get around the opposition of senators like - well, Hillary. Better still, he reportedly tried to get Dubai Ports World to hire his former mouthpiece, Joe Lockhart, as its new spokesman in Washington. ... Actually, Bill's been a big fan of Dubai for some time now. It goes back to when that government - which actually owns Dubai Ports World - kicked in very big bucks indeed to his presidential library. Since 2002, it's been paying him for speeches there - at $300,000 a pop. Talk about having your cake and eating it, too: Despite his support for the company, the former prez says his wife and other critics have a legitimate beef. This neat little arrangement keeps the Clintons covered on all sides of the issue. And it helps tuck a little boodle in the family piggy bank, too. But then, that's the way the Clintons operate. One hand washes the other, and all that matters is advancing the Clinton self-interest. Fiscally. And politically. The legendary Tammany Hall figure George Washington Plunkitt used to put it like this: "I seen my opportunities, and I took 'em." Bill 'n Hill, too. EXCERPT |
<< To win this war, the Ds -- and certainly the clintons -- must not regain power. Bush must have the courage to identify and defeat the enemy in our midst. [Bush has little support today primarily because he failed to do this] >>
Absolutely. Agree wholeheartedly.
<< That the usual corrupt, self-serving clintonoid suspects (clinton, clinton, Albright, Bill Cohen, Vernon Jordan) are in on the action -- that they are circling the deal like vultures -- should give us pause ....>>
It most certainly has me riveted.
That this one also has Michael Savage willingly shilling for such absolutely cynical and exclusively self-serving schemers as Schumer scares the Heck outta me too.
The "ports situation" has now become so Goebbels-ized and demagogued that Mr Bush's only option -- and a losing option at that, is to find a way to have "his" administration; a few hapless political appointees, that is -- and the for-generations-already anti-American and virulently anti-Republican activist-Democrat-owned permanent public-service -- find a way to reverse a commercial transaction so ordinary as to have, virtually without comment, [Except when Clinton gave Long Beach and our Panama Canal to his Peking partners] happened a hundred times previously.
I also fear that which ever way he cuts it this one may well be the issue that'll be looked back on as the Bush presidency's jumping of the shark. And will see Congressman King's and Susan Collins' et al's sacrifice of sufficient congressional seats to asher in as speaker one Nancy Pelosi.
And initiate our loss of the war for Civilization's survival.
