THE DRAMATIC INCREASE IN HILLARY CLINTON'S DISCLOSED ASSETS: An Alternative Theory
The authors ask and answer what they believe to be the central question, "What caused the jump? It might have been Dubai." 2
TURN OF PHRASE
What this is about, I believe, isn't the corrupt peddling of access and influence by the clintons. The clintons have been corruptly peddling access and influence as long as they've been in public life. 3
No. What this is about is bait-and-switch money-laundering. What this is about is the clintons being able to spend their stash.... at last.
PIGS AT THE TROUGH
FLASHY FEINT
Pundits--most notably Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity--have attributed this compulsion to flash the cash to the intersection of nouveau riche and clinton déclassé. But perhaps it is something more....
Perhaps it is bait-and-switch money-laundering.
Perhaps it is cover for the clintons' countless nuncupative deals and unnumbered Swiss accounts.
Perhaps it is a way, at long last, for the clintons, inveterate schnorrers that they are, to live in a manner to which they've made themselves accustomed... but this time on their own, albeit misbegotten, dime.
(Why we must defeat the clintons NOW: part 2)
by Mia T, 9.22.06
ormer clinton political guru, Dick Morris, and his wife and partner, Eileen McGann, are positing a theory of clinton enrichment that attempts to explain the dramatic increase--from as little as $352,000 in 2003 to as much as $50,000,000 in 2005--in hillary clinton's disclosed assets. 1
The Morris-McGann theory of clinton enrichment turns on the phrase, "dramatic increase." My alternative theory of the crime turns instead on "disclosed assets."
Prison cells are filled with crooks who got caught because they lived high on a-hog-that-had-no-visible-legal-source. The clintons have, for decades, been amassing that hog. First in Arkansas, and then DC, the clintons have been methodically, corruptly and with impunity amassing a fortune, auctioning off America's security, sovereignty and economy to the highest--invariably foreign--bidder.4
You may have noticed that these days the clintons never miss an opportunity, however oblique, to segue to their purportedly newly acquired wealth. 5
By purging DC of the professional politician and returning to the idea of the citizen-politician, we would break the power-and-corruption cycle. Post-9/11, we no longer have the luxury of time or circumstance to abide that nonsense.--me
Speaking of which, Dick Morris reports today in the New York Post that missus clinton's net worth grew from as little as $352K in 2003 to as much as $50M in 2005.
Morris writes, "What caused the jump? It might have been Dubai."

bump!
It depends on what the meaning of the word "assets" is. ;)
Well, her asssets in the U.S. Senate.
Your 'The Democratic Party's Problem Transcends Its Anti-War Contingent', especially, is nothing short of brilliant.
I don't know how far from south-central PA you live, Mia, but if youre within a couple hundred miles, I'm guessing you can hear the sound of uproarious cheering right about now.
God bless, uplift and strengthen modern patriots such as you.
A side note: I was forwarded a transcript of Keith Olbermann's recent tirade (on his MSNBC show 'Countdown'), entitled 'A Textbook Definition of Cowardice'. If you ever find yourself suffering from low blood pressure, take a gander. It's a genuine non-medicinal cure that is sure to raise your pressure readings by a good fifty percent.
I don't recall ever reading a political commentary more filled with venom, bias, and inaccuracy, in my entire (somewhat-consumed-with-reading) life.
After wading through the vicious, two-faced, factless, hate-filled, anti-American, borderline seditious diatribe, I sat at my keyboard last night in an attempt to write a rebuttal to post here on the forum.
After close to an hour of dealing with screaming into my computer monitor after each cut and paste, wasting precious sleep time wiping the spit off my keyboard, and being unable to focus on the words I had written (when one is seeing red, it strangely blurs the visual acuity and narrows the visual field), I resigned the task.
But I'm starting over again this morning. Never say die. :)
Rather than risk experiencing more of the above, let me just excerpt a few (of dozens of venomous) phrase(s) from Olbermanns harangue (his words in bold, mine in brackets):
It is not essential that a past president [the apparently venerable Bill Clinton], bullied ['Why didn't you do more, connect the dots and put them [al-Qaeda] out of business?' ... a question respectfully and civilly asked by his interviewer] and sandbagged by a monkey posing as a newscaster [highly-respected FoxNews commentator, Chris Wallace, who, unlike Olbermann, makes a genuine attempt at unbiased news reporting/commentary, and never resorts to unfounded personal attacks] finally lashed back [launched into a crazed, borderline-psychotic diatribe would be more accurate].
Footnote: Somewhere else within this diatribe, he also passionately referred to Mr. Clinton as 'honest' and 'brave'. (You may pick yourself up off the floor now. Try to regain your composure. I have a little more to say ...)
Moreover, for the last five years one month and two weeks [apparently at least some leftist ideologues can count, but notice ... not beyond the digits contained on both hands], the current administration, and in particular the President, has been given the greatest "pass" for incompetence and malfeasance in American history [apparently Mr. Olbermann was in hibernation during the Decade of High Crimes, Treasons and Felonies].
To hear him [President Bush] bleat and whine and bully at nearly every opportunity ... [I no longer believe that Olbermann even watched the Wallace/Clinton interview ... otherwise he would at least subliminally recognize that he is accusing the man he is smearing of behaviors claimed nearly exclusively by the very man he is defending].
That [the abovementioned 'bleating and whining'] hardly reflects the honesty nor manliness we expect of the executive [insert my last bracketed comment in here as well, while simultaneously reflecting on the manliness of the circumstances surrounding his defendees other notable finger-wagging rant, staged during the aforementioned Decade of High Crimes, Treasons and Felonies].
Mr. Bush has now moved, unmistakably and without conscience or shame, towards re-writing history [See Clinton's very own 'Rewriting History for Dummies']
As with all the other nefariousness and slime of this, our worst presidency since James Buchanan [See this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this I could go on, but my monitor is running out of ink ...]
The kind of proof of incompetence, for which the [Bush] administration and its hyenas at Fox need to find a diversion, in a scapegoat [Diversion? Scapegoat? Was Olbermann indeed hibernating when our military made a habit of, among other expensive and deadly diversions, bombing camels in the desert in order to remove attention from misplaced cigars?]
... the Right Wingers ... who try to sneak it into our collective consciousness through entertainment [I cant even bring myself to rebut this ludicrous accusation. Oh heck, maybe Ill give it a try. Four words: Fonda, Streisand, Sheen, Glover -- and thats just the tiny tip of the entertainment-industry-conspiracy iceberg].
[In reference to right-wing propagandists] To enforce the lies of the present, it is necessary to erase the truths of the past, and [quoting George Orwell], The [Republican] Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power... [No comment necessary].

Allegiance and Duty Betrayed
It will be a pleasure to see this worthless excuse for an American crash and burn again.
Of your nine "this"'s I've only read one (Final Days). :-(
But I'll be picking up one or two of the others.
Thank you, joanie. Great analysis. (Keith Olbermann does the same thing to my blood pressure.) ;) Does access journalism create Keith Olbermanns or do Keith Olbermanns create access journalism? The Interview: But he did plan to spin 9/11 (to us dummies) in response to "the little Pathway to 9/11." (NOTE: The misnomer by clinton was deliberate and meant to convey that he not only didn't watch the ABC movie, he paid it no notice.) What the interview demonstrated: clinton is profoundly dysfunctional; he is a pathological liar, a thug, corrupt, consumed with roiling rage (of the rapist kind), paranoid, self-absorbed, developmentally arrested, inept, delusional, dangerous. (The wife is at least as bad.) BTW, clinton's scapegoating of the 'neocons' is consistent with both clintons' latent antisemitism. |
fyi

Relax.
Oberman's total worldwide audience numbers about 200,000 person. Of these 90% are institutionalized drooling alzheimers patients, prisoners, and people waiting for the next Greyhound to Ipsalanti.
Any dimwit with a college degree can can invent unsubstantiated slander and smugly deliver it as long as no one is allowed to cross examine the evidence or question the argument. The other 10% are committed elitist Leftists who think Oberman's dull wit is what passes for cutting edge political commentary.
Its a club for losers. Oberman is on his way to the bottom of his profession, whatever it is. MSNBC is a losing commercial venture running just behind Air America in its impact on politics.
If he continues to get to you just sign him up for some Nazi propaganda and marital aids catelgues, at his office address of course,
I wonder what Olbermann thinks of hillary's rising dough ;)
hillary's funny money bump

"Who killed Vince Foster?"
The Secret Service is sworn to protect the POTUS, his Wife and family at all cost.
Hillary picked/approved the members providing this service. It is most likely she ordered one of the SS to execute Foster and arrange the movement of his body. He was most likely shot in the WH gargage. That would allow complete control of the environment.
"I hope they think they're cool while they're her, because they'll burn in hell"
I, however, would like to see that scenerio "sooner rather than later"
This couple has totally destroyed the "rule of law" in our nation. (IMO, that was what they were ultimately paid for)
BTW, thanks, MIA T, for keeping this in the fore-front
"who killed vince foster...?"
i think of moe, larry and curly........curly says, "it was an accident!"
"follow the money."
dontcha just love it.....the clintons hate greedy, evil, republicans....can't stop saying how they hold them in low esteem.
but it seems, all this time, they were just looking in the mirror.
