Clintons persuade GQ to pull critical article
telegraph.co.uk ^ | 27/09/2007 | Toby Harnden

The powerful sway that Bill and Hillary Clinton hold over the American media has been illustrated by their successful attempt to "kill" a negative magazine story about Mrs Clinton's presidential campaign.

If you’re interested in removing the Telegraph’s spin on this, here’s the article straight from The Politico.

"Freedom of the Press"? Not with that machine around.

the New York senator "offers no big ideas, no crusading causes" and had "plenty to talk about, but she doesn't have much to say".

Simply the truth. And, as Jack so eloquently put it, they can't handle the truth.

The author of the article can put it out on the Internet and bypass the Clintoons. I’m sure her Highness would love to shut down the Internet. When she becomes Queen, that will be her first order.

If this country is STUPID AND IGNORANT enough to put the Marxist Medusa in the Oval Office, it deserves every bit of socialism, oppressive big government and Stalinist destruction of our rights and freedoms that it WILL GET.

Absolute government power, voiding any significant individual freedom is the wet-dream of this cartel of power and control freaks that has taken over the Left in America.

Caveat Emptor.

Mr Saunders is seen as more favourably disposed to the Clinton camp.

Is this George Saunders, raconteur at large, the self styled GQ clone to Georgy "boy" Saunders of the 1950s films ilk? You know the guy in Rebbecca: suave, urbane, a dastardly deed doer of the first disorder and the spiritual precursor to Bill and his excellent adventures.

Hitlery’s motto should be: Absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

‘I don’t really get into the inner workings of the magazine,

True. Sort of like Little Pinch Sulzberger saying..”Well, I’m not a part of the group ruining the New York Slimes reputation and standing.”

They did try to kill ABC’s 9-11 docudrama, so it’s no surprise to me to hear they’d try to kill a negative story about hillary’s campaign.

That is very neat looking devolve! Your text is eye catching.

I assume the GQ thing is the front page picture of Clinton with the tie hanging down - or not?

I used to have that picture but can’t find it now.

.

I added TP BG to total of 544 wide
I-M - 1 pixel yellow border over purple

I forget the font style I picked

I-M gives moving text in many cases and has more font styles

G-W has only a few styles, no border, but text stay static

Slick Willie has a GQ cover plus article in Dec ‘08

Speculation is it would be “Man Of The Year”

I figured I’d give Slick Willie and Hillary a free preview of what is to come

Or Possibly

Absolute corruption craves absolute power.
