...do you know of a site that lists every Clinton scandal and misdeed by date. There is so many that I suspect I could have a clinton scandal of the day when I post on other sites with liberals. A this day in Clinton history type of thing.

How about a 3-year production run of Sony's CD-R disc. 700MB/per disc...should about do it...the size of the Library of Congress and the U.S. National Archives combined... :|... :) I think.

A Summer Book for Hillary

...more on Hillary from the humble solons at The American Spectator

[Mia T]

I can visualize a clinton scandal-du-jour calendar. Would there be any holidays, I wonder, i.e., did the lovely couple ever take a breather from corruption? Somehow, I doubt it. Corruption is breathing, for the clintons.

Just when I think America can't produce it's own Christopher Hitchens, or Andrew Sullivan, I'm reminded of PJ O'Rourke. And why don't I see more of him on television? He'd provide excellent flanking for the Blonde Babe Brigade currently manning the front lines. (Not that they need any help.)

Here's my question Mia. In New York, can a sitting US senator run for president, lose, and keep her senate seat?

If the answer is "yes", I fully expect Hillary to be 'drafted' in 2004, and with Bill Clinton touting Wesley Clark just this week-end, as presidential material, it's possible Hillary could choose Clark as her running mate. Besides satisfying the military expertise issue, it re-connects Hillary to Arkansas, and satisfies presidential candidate geographics too. Besides, I don't think Democrats would run two sitting senators for P and VP.

1. Hillary is the only candidate who could satisfy democrat middle grounders, and both lunatic wings of the party.

2. Losing to Bush in 2004 wouldn't tarnish her image one bit, in fact, with a presidential run under her belt, she would be considered even stronger for 2008.

A Summer Book for Hillary

By

Published 6/27/2002 12:03:00 AM

The Current Crisis

Washington -- It is summer reading time, and I have a perfect book for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to bring to Martha's Vineyard, that posh Massachusetts resort where she and husband Bill always find a nice captain of industry to loan them a cottage with servants and golf clubs. The book is a modern French masterpiece, L'Effroyable Imposture, by France's next Jean-Paul Sartre, M. Thierry Meyssan, a sleepy-eyed moderate leftist, whose title, translated into English, reads "The Horrifying Fraud."

It is not a book about the Clintons. Rather it is a book about a topic Hillary herself introduced to America, the topic of "right-wing conspiracy." When first she mentioned that a conspiracy of conservatives was behind her husband's numerous scrapes with the law and with scandal in general, the press was dubious and the public bemused. Then gradual repetition of the conspiracy theory began to take hold. Columnists discovered that Linda Tripp had been a Republican, that Lucianne Goldberg once worked somehow for Richard Nixon, that Kathleen Willey and Paula Corbin Jones -- though Democrats -- spent a lot of time with Republicans, and Mrs. Willey's dead cat could have died by natural causes.

Soon reliable sources such as James Carville and David Brock were telling all. They knew that almost everyone who spoke ill of the Clintons had one thing in common, to wit, they were not party-line Democrats. Nor had any contributed to any of the Clintons' political campaigns. Some had military backgrounds. M. Meyssan's book makes many useful contributions to the Clintons' theory of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" here in America. "The Horrifying Fraud" argues that the September 11 attacks on America were carried out not by Islamic fundamentalists or by any foreigners at all. The attacks were the work of a right-wing conspiracy working within the American government. Who doubts that when Hillary gets her copy she will turn immediately to the index to see if Richard Scaife is mentioned or Lucianne?

By the way, this is no marginal book written by a writer on the fringes of French society. It has sold over 200,000 copies in France. It stands atop the French best-seller list shouting "Hillary was right." And the argument is exquisite, offering intellectual complexity that no Yankee Clintonite can match. According to M. Meyssan, Lucianne's agents inside the government were threatening to overthrow the Bush Administration by a coup (America's first ever) if he did not agree to expand the military budget and declare war against Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which countries have gotten on the right's nerves. Oil interests were also at issue, and in the case of Afghanistan, perhaps, rugs.

To increase pressure on the Bush Administration and possibly avoid the necessity of a coup (America's first ever) the right-wingers (or should we call them Republicans?) needed a provocation for the administration to attack Afghanistan, and Iraq and so they hit the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. Then they blamed the whole thing on the otherwise irreproachable Osama bin Laden.

The attack went like this. The right-wing conspiracists laid hands on a missile and fired it into the Pentagon. As for the planes that we all saw hit the World Trade Center, they were programmed to hit the towers. Apparently there were no pilots. Thus Osama bid Laden could not possibly have been involved, and all decent Americans owe him an apology. We should give him his caves back and even the bats.

The argument does leave some unanswered questions. One is where is that plane that the right-wingers would have us believe hit the Pentagon? It was an American Airlines plane. Could American Airlines be involved in the plot? That is a publicly-held company. And where are the passengers on the flight that M. Meyssan tells us never hit the Pentagon?

Possibly these questions will be answered by the time the American edition of this useful French contribution to the study of right-wing conspiracies hits the country. It is being translated into English and several other languages for distribution in 16 countries. I hope the American edition will have an introduction by a knowledgeable student of the "vast-right wing conspiracy," for instance former Clinton White House aide Sidney Blumenthal. Democratic National Chairman Terry McAuliffe will surely be asked to do a blurb. And it is always possible that Hillary might too. You can be sure that in a matter of weeks she will have read it cover to cover. I am told she reads French and twelve other languages.

The clintons have clearly arrogated the Democratic party in perpetuity.
One has to wonder if the Ds will tolerate the clintons much longer....
We are starting to see cracks of the Susan Estrich-"hillary clinton can never be president"- expediency variety....

missus clinton's Cover Lies and the Howard Dean Syndrome

Mia T, 6.25.03

 

The clinton Complex-Question Fallacy Scheme notwithstanding, it is axiomatic and confirmed on a daily basis by clinton "infrastructure" strategy, itself, that hillary ("listening tour" / cozy-clintonoid-interviews-of-the-Colmes-kind) clinton is no better than Howard Dean at withstanding media scrutiny... and is likely significantly worse.

From this it follows--if one also notices that media genuflection before the altar of clinton is no longer de rigueur--that hillary clinton cannot survive the standard, lengthy, probing presidential-campaign process. An end run is her only option.

And contrary to conventional wisdom, time is not on her side. Not only are the clintons in general decline, but in this post-9/11 world, demographics favorable to liberals projected for 2008 will not resuscitate disfavored, dysfunctional, dangerous demagogues like the clintons.

Look, therefore, for the clintons to make their move in '04. Susan Estrich, Al From and The Times aren't on the same "Get the clintons off the stage!" page for no reason.

Coming to a movie theatre soon- “Mona Lisa Smile” or how Wellesley prepared itself for the Queen (HRC):

Listen up Wellesley ladies:

One of you will someday teach a young woman from the suburbs of Chicago, who will make living history as a victim of her husband. You will also be disappointed to know that in 1953 something called DNA is discovered. Make sure you wash you clothes after intimate encounters with powerful men.

[skinkinthegrass]

Funny Morp... :))

[reg45]

Hillary failed the District of Columbia bar examination, but she passed in Arkansas--and "in the first jury trial I handled on my own, I defended a canning company against a plaintiff who found the rear end of a rat in the can of pork and beans he opened for dinner one night."

I always suspected that there was an association between HRC and a "rat's patoot". Finally! The proof!

[SuzanneC]

WOW! This is amazing. She never looked as good as her book cover portrait. It is a glaring illustration of the lies the book contains and the fraud of her whole being. Beware.

Don't ever stop, Mia. Keep on exposing and emphasizing the truth about the Clintons. I'm glad P.J. saw Living History for what it is.
