Clinton in running for TV job
From correspondents in Washington
27apr02
FORMER US president Bill Clinton could soon start a gig as the co-host of a morning television program, US media reported today.
ABC-TV's gossip show "Extra" reported that Clinton is a candidate to succeed retiring television host Bryant Gumbel as the co-anchor of "The Early Show" - a breakfast news program on rival network CBS-TV.
The ex-president, who left office 15 months ago, already has been busy in retirement: his William J Clinton Foundation is assembling teams of business experts to provide financial, marketing and other technical advice to owners of small businesses in Harlem, where he maintains an office.
Earlier this month he took on a new job as a senior adviser to two investment funds run by a cut price grocery store tycoon, the Los Angeles-based Yucaipa Companies said.
And he is in the process of penning his memoirs, set for publication in 2003, for publishing house Alfred A Knopf, which paid him an advance of more than $US10 million ($A18.48 million) - the largest ever for a non-fiction book published in the United States.
Would you trust the rapist in chief with an investment fund?
HA!!
Ain't it ever the truth...
Why they'll have to coin a *new* term to describe this abomination they're calling, "A Book."
Because frankly speaking?
"Virtual Reality" won't be nearly enough to do justice to this fraud we've *all* come to know in many ways; but mainly as, "The Sink Emporer."
As for handing the dog a TV show?
Nawwwww...ain't gonna happen.
(Although really: I wouldn't totally rule-out *something* appearing on a Frday night at FoxTV; like, cohosting, "Tough Man" along side of Lawrence Taylor...*classy* TV)
The sponsors don't need that kind of Leper-association to their product(s).
The asshole's a lightening rod who'd conduct fecal matter from the skies by the Giga-watt.
...& that, is an awful lot of crap.
:o)
But ... but ... but you move-on'ers kept assuring us he would just fade away if we ignored him and his crimes. What went wrong?

If you think that your plan would make him go away, you are being decidedly foolish. He is gradually being marginalized into a celebrity figure, as opposed to a serious elder statesman, and that is just fine with me. The fewer people who take him seriously, the better that will be for everyone. I would be most happy if he was placated with rock star status and the illusion of importance and channeled away into a little sub-culture somewhere.
Also...I am on record as saying that I trust President Bush to do what is best for the country concerning this individual. Whatever is best for the country as a whole, mind you, NOT whatever requirements YOU think are necessary.
Good day.
...Over in ..'The Movie'.. Forum of the .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. website...
.. www.WeWereSoldiersFILM.com ..
...we are hearing that Paramount will be releasing the ..-WWS-.. DVD in November, just in time for some more Oscar Buzz.
...As the TV Promo's prior to the Movie's Release with IA DRANG-1965 Vets, Director/Screenwriter RANDALL WALLACE and stars MEL GIBSON-SAM ELLIOTT & Co were extensive ...I would think there'd be some special goodies added onto the ..-WWS-.. DVD as well. But I have no current details on this to share.
...Upon my return from the 1st Major Battle Operations of the Vietnam War it was pretty easy to spot who was working in partnership with our North Vietnamese Communist Enemy here at home because they bahaved exactly the same way =
...LIE about what America was doing over there while our guys were being blown up by forests of landmines in threatend Free South Vietnam.
...Primary amongst those Enemies Within were a young HILLARY RODHAM -&- BILL CLINTON.
...Their sabotaging of our National Intelligence Operations in favor of the CLINTONS' Terrorist Partners abroad, when they finally had the power to so during the 1990's, was intentional.
...Lt. Gen. HAL G. MOORE (Ret.) said back in the Mid-1990's that it will be decades before America recovers from the damage the CLINTONS have inflicted upon it.
...September 11, 2001 = The CLINTON Stamp on America.
(For over three times the pay of his predecessors, Gumball did the seemingly impossible, in dragging the show's ratings even FURTHER down. He quit, when CBS wouldn't give him a raise. Were he a white guy, they would have fired him long before his contract was up!)
'Natch, guess what's on all the time? Guess who had a problem when the program director decided to
actually program something [else]? Guess what is back filling the program schedule?
If CBS actually decides to pursue this strategy, which in a sane world, would result in the non-renewal of all of CBS'
FCC licenses, (not to mention SEC regs about due diligence), what do you want to bet that he only talks about
himself and/or receives the praises of the idiotic masses that stand in the rain in front of the studios of the morning shows?
I remember growing up, the roller derby had the biggest audience (the Beltway, late '60s). Guess what?
The people that watched it didn't have any disposable income. Kind of difficult to keep advertisers.
(The reverse was true of golf - small audience, but tons of d.i.)
The salemen will sign contracts, and the advertisers will get stuck with lower ratings than Crossfire.
The consumers will get stuck paying the bills for Clinton yet again.
Madness.
That would be the Beemer with the hubcaps missing.
