I think I'll buy stock in whatever company(ies) is/are making Maaloxx and Depends :)

M,

The two corporations you are looking for arewould be Jackson Enterology (Maalox - http://www.gicare.com/pated/maalox.htm) and Kimberly-Clark (Depends - http://www.depend.com/).

As 8/14 approaches, I suspect their products will be in high demand...

News about our buddy Eric Holder trying to rewrite the Clinton legacy.

OK,

The change in the corporation rule happened in 1999 and according to Alamo-Girl, Holder's actions made Reno look like a choirmemember at the DOJ. Hard to even for me to believe.

The Asst. Atty. Gen. position requires Senate confirmation and I don't know if Holder was fired immediately after Bush was elected. If not, Holder was left in place to fester and contaminate the new Bush Justice Department. Based on the trouble that a Republican-dominated house had confirming Ashcroft, there might have been a concerted effort by the Democrats to let him corrode the Federal Justice system as long as legally possible. After Ashcroft was nominated, the Senate started to process the lower-rung nominees in the DOJ but Jumpin' Jeffords messed up the Senate and delayed Senate confirmations even more. I checked to see if Holder is still on staff but thankfully, he is no longer on the Federal payroll.

Holder is long gone... off the federal payroll. Bush only kept him on board for appearances sake at the start of the Administration until the successor was confirmed... also, Holder is a darling of the DC elite media, so there was obvious benefit for Bush in that regard as well. Nevertheless, from my perspective keeping him on board for even an hour past noon on January 20, 2001 was too long for my taste, and the drive - bordering on hysteria - among freepers and conservatives to get him out was highly justifiable.

Thanks for the heads up! My understanding is that all political appointees have to step down with an incoming administration. But I don't know about transitions, and this would have been a shortened transition due to Gore's challenging the election.

Thanks for the ping. The Clinton legacy continues to unfold. Slick and his co-president ran an 8 year long Ponzi scheme on the backs of the American people, and they'll do it all over again if they can.

MW,

Thank-GOD! The adults are truly in charge. Now when do we get to prosecute the b@$t@rd for numerous criminal charges staring with "aiding and abetting"?

PS - I cannot tell how your news that Holder is KO'd made my day. Knowing how government works, I was thinking that somehow Holder got re-org'ed into another high-salary Federal job in the Agriculture Department that tries to help increase sales of US organic goat-milk products to third-world obese lesbian mimes.

[okimhere]

your news that Holder is KO'd made my day.

Mine, too! I remember early on there was so much agitation over his being left in a position of authority and further wrongdoing. I had lost sight of him and I'm grateful again for FR's educated posters.

Holder is down but he may not be out. Somebody on one of the threads about Mayor Williams's problems said there is a rumor that Holder may become the Democratic candidate for mayor of D.C.

hi jriemer
your post #21 is genius (I think)
no one pushed harder than mw to get Holder out after Bush took Office
(I think Holder stayed in till Ashcroft was confirmed)
it sent the wrong message to keep a corrupt cop at head of new justice department
Janet Reno was always a figurehead, Eric Holder was slick willy's man at the DOJ
you're correct when you describe the consequences of keeping eric holder on as long as he (Bush) did
additionally, I was on Lucianne's forum at the time, and there was honest member of the Justice Dept there, who said ''he has to get Eric Holder out of there, it is killing us''
it was demoralizing to those who love justice
Love, Palo

Palo,

I was honestly surprised that there was someone in the DOJ actually WORSE than General Reno herself. Eric Holder is / was a Clintoid flunky to the core and picked up the banner from Webster Hubble when he was exposed eariler in the 1992 adminstration.

If the Clinton's were a baseball team, I would never want their team on my schedule them because they have never-ending bench of peons, suck-ups, wonks, spinsters, cloak-n-dagger and other unsavory types that completely overwhem the opposition. They have at their disposal, in short, the vast hords of Hell.

excellent post
he also owns every federal judge he appointed
plus he represents gangster interests and has the underworld working for him too
as Head of Dem Party he has absolute control over every Dem in government
Harvard thinks he is Eleanor Roosevelt
the media remain enthralled by him
but thank God he has lost the vast powers of the Presidency of USA

the reason he won't let Bush appoint any federal judges, is because those judges are honest
he doesn't want honest judges in there
he merely pretends it's cause they are right wing
to dupe the left wing, liberals, and media
his sole purpose is power for himself, but representing gangster interests has always been his primary focus

he chose Janet Reno because Lanny Davis' background check revealed she was being blackmailed by the mob in Florida
they had photos of her with callgirls
plus she had DUIs
Lanny was very surprised when clinton chose her anyway
(as were the residents in Florida who knew that about her)

obviously clinton thought she would be easily manipulatable
she did prove stubborn for long time tho
however Eric Holder was his real man there
and Holder was able to influence Janet

Janet thought she would take the fall when the Las Alamos spying was revealed
(this was right after Impeachment)
when clinton kept her on, he had her eating out of his hand ever since
Love, Palo

There is no question that Reno was a figurehead, a manipulatable dunce who provided cover for Hillary & Bill. By contrast, Eric Holder was always the executor, the grand marshall of the coverups and corruption.

excellent and true post mw
