But I bet they wouldn't block a thread wherein Bush's DWI case was being discussed though...

What are they afraid of? the truth?

Thanks for the explanation. We'll see, but I have no doubt that if this story gets much play the Times cabal of Rich, Krugman, Dowd, et. al. will immediately spin this as "Did Bush Try to Blackmail a Critic?"

You know, Miss Marple, when Ritter went on his last round of talking head shows, one of the people appearing with him (and I cannot remember which show it was--I watched him on Donahue & Greta) mentioned something about Scott's lovely wife....I think it may have been Richard Butler on Donahue, but I cannot be sure.

I wonder if the press had gotten wind of this last week, and if Butler had been asked about this or knew about Ritter's alleged proclivities....

Midge Rendell may have become a U.S. District judge on her own, but it helped that her husband was close with President Bill Clinton, who appointed her. He's also tight with Republican Sen. Arlen Specter, who steered her nomination through the U.S. Senate in 1994.

In 1997, she was elevated to the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

Ritter needed to be silenced.

And he has been.

He was on tv just a few days ago ranting and raving. I know he was on *several* shows.

If you are saying he will be now, we'll see, but that would be conjecture.

A neighbor for decades, Specter pushed Midge Rendell's appointment through a U.S. Senate that was balking at confirming Clinton nominees. She later would say "Arlen Specter willed it," Specter chuckles.

Now we know why Ritter's become such a ClintonTool...

Strange that you would put it that way. What he's really become is a Saddam tool. If Ritter's sexual proclivities were discovered and leveraged through blackmail and/or pandering to turn his position on Iraq, then that wasn't the work of Bill Clinton. It was the work of Saddam Hussein.

You should treat this as a very instructive data point on how Saddam Hussein operates. Saddam isn't just the richest gangster in the world: he's also the most sophisticated. In principle, he operates like any gangster, but his reach is wider than most. Of course, it helps to have $7 billion in the bank and absolute control over the second largest oil reserves on the planet. Saddam's a real carrot-and-stick guy. His carrots include the traditional: money and sex. His sticks: WMD, terrorism, daily beatings, acid baths, bullets in the head. Between carrot and stick, there's almost nothing he can't get away, almost nobody who can't be bought off, blackmailed or intimidated. Why do you think he's still there?

This brings a whole new meaning to "crotch rocket"!

Ritter is a wasted lay..
True to form for perverts, he is "out of focus" (NOT NORMAL) and should NOT be regarded as a reliable source for ANYTHING important...

Write him off as the asshole he has become..

I appreciate his position that he doesn't want Americans to die in a needless war. But do we fight Hussein now or when he is able to deliver a weapon? Iraq is a big country. How could he possibly know that we destroyed 95% of what he had? As Biden told him, it is above his pay grade.

Saddam may be a real carrot and stick guy, but my first familiarity with this technique was with the Clintons.

I think it more likely that the ADA was pressured by Hillary than that she was pressured by an emissary of Saddam.

Of course, they could be one and the same.

You make some interesting points, GreatSatan, but I humbly disagree with yer assertion that the mastermind behind this political blackmail is anybody other than William Jefferson Clinton!! Perhaps Sodom's Insane and Slick Willie are working as partners, but Slick's most certainly involved!!

"Ring DemBells!!"
(To be sung to Bob Dylan's "Ring Them Bells")

Ring Dem bells, you heathens with yer Big Guv'ment schemes...
Ring Dem bells from yer sanctuaries where Vile Lib'rals preach!!
"Re-Impeach!!" Mudboy cried...
"We've got Truth on OUR side...
"And Clinton's Power's fractured...Sweet Justice be Thine!!"

Ring Dem bells, good FReepers, let yer OUTRAGE show!!
Ring Dem bells...make yer righteous stand, so John Ashcroft will know!!
Folks, it's Rush Hour now...
Help us FReep 'gainst the Power!!
Lord, the sun is goin' down upon Left's sacred cows!!

Ring Dem bells, Sweet Justice, tell yer Congressman...
Ring Dem bells so the World will know Gary Winnick's SCUM!!
Folks, the Networks are asleep...
But their Power's weak...
And the Country's still filled with lost sheep.

Ring Dem bells...fer Left's Blind Ignorance!!
Ring Dem bells for those morally-bereft!
Ring Dem bells for Left's chosen few...
Who would judge the many...
Yet say, "Slick is KEWL!!"
Ring Dem bells for the Chi-Com SPIES...
For the kids that died...
When innocents FRIED!!

Ring Dem bells, brave Patriots, shan't let Tyranny bloom!!
Ring Dem bells for our Sailors whom Slick Willie entombed!!
List of crimes is long...
But Bold FReepers are strong...
And we're breakin' down resistance to Rightin' Wrongs!!

Mudboy Slim

BTW...Folks, it's time we demonstrated the Power of FReepin' to those who would deprive us of Justice and Liberty!! Terry McAuliffe, outspoken proponent of Campaign Finance Reform and Chairman of the DNC, has committed multiple FELONIES to get to his position of prominence in the DemocRATic Party, yet no one seems willing to hold him accountable!! As Bill Clinton's Chief Fundraiser in the '96 Presidential elections, McAuliffe was the mastermind behind the Union/DemocRAT scheme to bilk hard-working blue-collar workers out of Millions of Dollars of Pension Funds so as to provide Bill Clinton with the cash to retain his position of Power, and no INDICTMENT has been forthcoming. Elle Bee tells me there is a 5-year Statute of Limitations--expiring this Fall--on this Crime, and George Bush's Attorney General, John Ashcroft, has not said one word about holding the DNC Chairman accountable for his crimes!! THIS INJUSTICE SHALL NOT STAND!!

A small contingent of Justice-loving FReepers have--for almost two years--been promoting a series of threads exposing McAuliffe's long criminal history, but now it's time to take the Truth beyond FreeRepublic!! Please assist our efforts with your emails, phone calls, and snail mails to those who need to expose this lowlife SCUM for all the World to see!!

Thanks for your help in Ringin' the Bells of Justice!!

FReegards...MUD

Who do you think released this information now, and why do you think they did so?

Why? There could be a number of reasons.

1. Revenge. Scott didn't shut up, and now must pay.
2. Outlived his usefulness to either side.
3. Side B found the records covered by Side A and leaked them.
4. Perhaps this is a message to Saddam?

Ritter is high profile. Ritter is monitored.

There's No way that local cops would have snared him, and sealed the records without Federal Authorities (FBI/CIA/etc) knowing about it.

Think on that for a minute, and you'll see it is true.

If you were the FBI/CIA wouldn't YOU monitor someone who received a $400,000 cash payment from Saddam?
I would. And If I know to do it, they know to do it.

THEREFORE, the Feds also knew about the sealed records.

I would caution against focusing on this specific incident. What is interesting is what it tells us about Scott Ritter. As for the speculation about an hypothetical Hillary connection, that strikes me as perverse. The important question is why Scott Ritter turned from being a gung-ho opponent of the Iraqi regime to its biggest apologist. That has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton.

It comes as no surprise to me that Ritter is a jerk..
I had no idea he was possibly this big a jerk AND criminal..
This will get interesting... IF anyone asked him about it on TV..
He will explode...he looks like he is near self destruct mode the past few times on camera....

We've known each other long enough to not give advice like, the press is not your friend. You're a smart guy and I respect that so do me the same honor and save the platitudes for somebody else.

No insult intended. Not everyone is old hat here. Some viewers may not understand that the press is not trustworthy no matter who they are reporting on.
