Pardongate Meets Buddygate

This bizarre canine/quid-pro-quo pairing debuted yesterday in a revisionist Newsweek report authored by clinton lapdog, Jonathan Alter; the Newsweek piece was set up to be yet another cozy clintonoid interview of the Colmes kind.

Gross clinton "infrastructure" miscalculation, as it turned out. The report has proven to be counterproductive on its face. The clinton "infrastructure" error was to assume sufficient clinton intelligence to navigate these heady times, as well as lapdog immutability in the face of universal post-pardongate, post-9/11 rodham-clinton disdain.

Sources: White House Lobbied For Clinton Nobel Peace Prize Updated Friday, October 13, 2000 By Rita Cosby WASHINGTON -- Two Norwegian public-relations executives and one member of the Norwegian Parliament say they were contacted by the White House to help campaign for President Clinton to receive this year's Nobel Peace Prize for his work in trying to negotiate peace in the Middle East.

Clinton Lobbies for Nobel Prize: What a Punk

 

 

There's been speculation in the last few months that Clinton was pursuing a Mideast peace accord in an effort to win the prize and secure his legacy as president.

AIDES PUSH CLINTON FOR THE NOBEL

 

 

At the time, clinton observed: "I made more progress in the Middle East than I did between Socks and Buddy." Retrospectively, it is clear that clinton's characterization was not correct.

Buddy Death Report Raises More Questions Than It Answers

 

By MIA T

 

 

CHAPPAQUA, N.Y., Jan. 4 -- The clinton-PR-machine-generated report of the death of Buddy, the impeached ex-president's chocolate Labrador, raises more questions than it answers. The report states: "Buddy playfully took after a contractor leaving the Clinton home about noon and was struck by a sport utility vehicle on Route 117 at the bottom of Old House Lane...Neither Mr. Clinton nor Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton were [sic] home at the time. The only comment they will make on the matter is by way of a statement issued by Mrs. Clinton's office: 'My best memory is that I did not have any involvement in that death.'"

 

Buddy

1997-2002

The report fails to explain how Buddy was able to wrest from the strong arm of the Secret Service and negotiate the multimillion-dollar, taxpayer-financed retrofits that were installed to make the poorly located suburban house safe for the universally despised former first couple. The report also fails to include a timeline detailing the whereabouts of the clintons on the day of the death. The clinton report's indictment of a sport utility vehicle (SUV) has caused incipient whispers of a vast left-wing conspiracy and the ever-expanding list of dead adverse clinton witnesses to fill the Senate cloakroom.

 

 

Buddy was a 1997 'gift' from a 'benefactor' who subscribed to the notion: "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog," particularly sage advice for a DC couple forever mired in scandal and antipathy. Whether Buddy also subscribed to that notion was questioned as recently as last January when he entangled himself in clinton's legs, dropping the impeached ex-president to the pavement; clinton insisted at the time that there was no malevolence involved, that they were simply playing a game of fetch. clinton refused to say who was doing the fetching. (see BILL & HILL & BUDDY & HELEN, Helen Thomas Syndrome: THE SYMPTOMS )

 

 

The White House reported that the clintons' first First Pet, Socks, a cat, "greeted the canine acquisition with a hiss previously reserved only for Ken Starr." Because Buddy remained Socks' nemesis throughout the clinton dog days, Socks was eventually exiled to Virginia, to the suburban home of Betty Currie, former clinton subornee and sex scheduler. At the time, clinton observed: "I made more progress in the Middle East than I did between Socks and Buddy." Retrospectively, it is clear that clinton's characterization was not correct.

 

 

Buddy web sites quickly exploded in cyberspace. (Socks web sites, too, Socks would add.) Mrs. clinton, a long-time adherent of synergistic exploitation, "authored" an instant book about three groups favored for exploitation by the clintons: dogs, cats and children. "Dear Socks, Dear Buddy: Kids' Letters to the First Pets" was published by the clintons' personal agitprop-and-money-laundering machine, Simon & Schuster. (see Is hillary clinton's $8M "book advance" a Peter-Principle artifact?)

Although Chappaqua locals share the national repugnance for the clintons, their feelings never spilled over to Buddy. "The big highlight for people was, 'I just saw Buddy,' never mind Mr. and Mrs. Clinton," said Christine Meyer, owner of Wags and Whiskers here.

Former President Clinton...says he regrets the last-minute pardon he gave to fugitive financier Marc Rich...because it has tarnished his reputation.
 
Asked if he would do it again, "probably not, just for the politics," he said in an interview with Newsweek magazine. "It was terrible politics. It wasn't worth the damage to my reputation."...
 
A list of 177 pardons and clemencies was released by the Clinton White House just hours before Clinton left office and George W. Bush was sworn in on Jan. 20, 2001.
 
Since then, they have been investigated by federal prosecutors and Congress. That scrutiny, Clinton said, made him "just angry that after I worked so hard and after all that money had been spent proving that I never did anything wrong for money, that I'd get mugged one more time on the way out the door."...
 
Rich is the ex-husband of Denise Rich, a financial contributor to the Democratic Party and to Clinton's presidential library, [the postmodern rodham-clinton reputation-history-&-money-laundering machine currently under construction]
 
Clinton denied all wrongdoing in regard to the Rich pardon. "The fact that his ex-wife ... was for it and had contributed to my library had nothing to do with it,"... there wasn't a shred of evidence that it had been done for any improper motive," Clinton said...
"I don't know Marc Rich and wouldn't know him if he walked in the door there," Clinton said. But, he added, "I was very sensitive to prosecutorial abuse because I had seen it. ... I don't think that's all bad for a president to be sensitive to any kind of abuse of power."
 
On a lighter note, Clinton said he is getting a chocolate Labrador puppy, a descendent of his late dog, Buddy.
Buddy, a frisky retriever often seen at Clinton's side as he jogged, was killed in January by a car outside the former president's home in Chappaqua, N.Y.

Clinton Newsweek Outtake: I Beat Paula Jones

In comments taped by Newsweek reporter Jonathan Alter during his interview with Bill Clinton that weren't included in the magazine's print coverage, the ex-president claims total victory over sexual harassment accuser Paula Jones.

"I was tickled that (Troopergate reporter David) Brock said that they always knew there was nothing to the Paula Jones case and I won that," the disgraced ex-president insisted, despite being impeached over charges stemming from Jones' lawsuit and paying her $850,000 to drop her appeal after a judge's dismissal.

"The judge ruled in my favor," Clinton continued, before commenting on Jones' recent "Celebrity Boxing" bout with skater Tonya Harding.

"So, if she wants to box Tonya Harding, Tonya Harding looks like a pretty tough cookie to me," Clinton observed, before seguewaying seamlessly into the Monica Lewinsky case.

"And, ah, it's just, I wish - I've always said, I wish Monica Lewinsky well. I hope she has a good life. There's nothing I can do about that, though."

While Newsweek covered Clinton's comments about the Jones-Harding bout, the quote about the Jones case that appeared in print was markedly different from the one the magazine made available through an audio link on its website.

Here's the Newsweek print version of Clinton's remarks on the Jones case:

"[David] Brock [the ex-conservative hit man] says they knew all along that there was nothing to Whitewater and nothing to the Jones case. I think it was just a matter of power. I feel bad for them because Iím going on with my life and they should go on with theirs. Maybe it would be good for the new generation of leaders in our party if they [the right-wingers] stayed focused on me and they miss them, and then [weíd] win a lot of elections."

All true.
April Fool's Day notwithstanding,
if clinton's arrogant, ruthless, reckless nature
is restored to him, the joke will be on all of us
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
Q ERTY6
rodham clinton REALITY CHECK BUMP!

Not Joe Klein's Primary Colors. And not Jack Stanton.
bill clinton is straight out of
Stanley Kubrick's A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
 
clinton is Alex,
one of the few truly amoral characters in either film or literature;
not quite as Kubrick (or Burgess) had imagined him, however,
but rumpled, wrinkled, paunchy, edematous,
stripped of the youth-excuse
after 30 additional, pathetic, recidivistic years
of marauding, stomping, raping, gangbanging, deceiving and destroying.
 
Like A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, the story of bill clinton
is the story about a society that has lost its capacity for moral choice.
But unlike in the less fabulous and no more ironic fable,
clinton is not mere nascent symbol but nihilistic agent.
 
clinton, like Alex, is the leader of the gang, the "droogies."
Eerily prefigured by the rocking, crooked phallus,
clinton's a conscienceless sadist
who thrills at risk and gratuitous destruction,
whose sexual and non-sexual impotence
is at the root of his obsession with "the old inout."
 
When Alex kills a woman during a rape, Alex is sent to prison.
When clinton rapes women, girls, his country and God knows what else. . .
and kills? --- check out those fourscore-plus deaths, please!
And don't forget the wag-the-dog, desperately-seeking-a-legacy bombings,
or the cold-blooded Ricky Ray Rector execution---
not clinton but society is imprisoned,
imprisoned in clinton's
besmirched, semen-stained, feckless presidency.
 
A risible and repulsive result;
yet not even the punch line.
 
While Alex is conditioned in prison with aversion therapy,
transmuted into a moral robot who becomes nauseated
by the mere thought of sex and violence,
bill clinton and his Thought Police,
in a perverse reverse aversion,
have conditioned society's collective brain
into not mere acquiescence but twisted admiration.
 
In the end,
if clinton's arrogant, ruthless, reckless nature is restored to him,
it seems the joke will be on all of us,
for it will be a victory for infinite victimhood and irresponsibility,
for seduction, for violence, for nihilism, for anarchy.
 
We will have set apart clinton as the hero
by making his victims less human than he;
we will have allowed clinton to carefully estrange us from his victims
so that we can enjoy the rapes and the beatings
as much as clinton himself does.

But don't you think that he is pretty well adjusted? Afterall, he DID witness his Mother and GrandMother arguing about him when he was a mere child! I get traumatized just thinking about how awful that must have been for him!

As a deeply scarred victim, I think that he was very fortunate to have married such a pillar of ethics as his beloved wife obviously is.

Yes, the women in his life are responsible for the kind of man he is today.

Happy April Fools Day, Mia!

Clinton is now claiming to really miss Buddy. Poor 'Photo-Op Buddy'. I hear tell that both Buddy and Socks were not allowed to romp in the family quarters at the White House. It seems as though they were only dragged out when Clinton needed a mild bump in the polls, or as in during the Lewinsky fiasco, a ressurection.

Mia, Unfortunately, I need to ask you to take me off your bump list. When looking at my self search your posts load up each time. This takes too long. Don't worry, I won't miss your posts, but I don't have time to load them up several times a day.

Thanks, OK
