When the Watergate burglars bungled their 1972 caper to steal documents from the Democratic National Committee, the initial reaction of the Nixon administration to suggestions that it was somehow also involved was: garbage. Turns out it wasnt garbage: it was truth and resignation igniter fluid.
When the Drudge Report first broke the story that a White House intern - Monica Lewinsky - had been illicitly involved with the president, then William Jefferson Clinton, the Clinton administrations initial response was that the story was: garbage.
Indeed, an independent prosecutor was appointed and a grand jury empanelled. When White House Deputy Chief of Staff John Podesta was called in June 1998 to testify before the grand jury looking into the issue of Clintons extreme mentoring of the female intern, his lawyer assured everyone that Podestas grand jury testimony (i.e., a statement given under oath and upon penalty of perjury) fully supported the presidents forceful denials of any improper conduct. And yes, Virginia, this is the same John Podesta who now heads up BH Obamas transition team how insightful of you.
Turns out the Lewinsky story and Clintons false testimony relating to it wasnt garbage either, but instead, impeachment material.
Now, faced with multiple lawsuits on various fronts challenging BH Obamas eligibility under the Constitution to hold the office of the president - the most recent one filed in California by former Ambassador and 2000 presidential candidate Dr. Alan Keyes - the flippant pronouncement of BH Obama spokesmen is: garbage.
Ummm anyone see a pattern here? Any cause and effect link between big problem for politician and the reflexive labeling of the problem by his sycophants as garbage?
The simplest way for BH Obama to disprove the claim that he is not a natural born Citizen as required by the Constitution would be for him to authorize full and complete disclosure of his actual birth records - not just doctored images on a website - and wherever they may be located, to allow their examination by independent experts, not just reporters for a mainstream media whose pronouncements on the matter up to now have been - let us be polite here - somewhat less than objective.
Thus far, he has adamantly refused to do so and a once-vigilant, but now subservient MSM has refused to even suggest that he do otherwise. What the heck does he have to hide? And they wonder why the lawsuits keep coming?
In reality, given BH Obamas long and close historical links to radicals, America-haters and corrupt influence peddlers, it is surprising that his spokesmen dont use more graphic and earthy descriptions of these lawsuits, which after all strike at the very core of his constitutional qualification to be sworn in as president: is he a natural born Citizen?
This is an abundantly fair question, pejorative labels of garbage aside: America deserves to know.
The Electoral College does not convene until December 15, 2008, so there is still time to clean up any detritus still littering the political landscape
but only if there is the judicial and Fourth Estate backbone to do so.
What a CS and cowardly thing to say.
