- Biography lends to death a new terror.
Oscar Wilde
- Hypocrisy abounds in this Age of Clinton, a Postmodern Oz rife with constitutional deconstruction and semantic subversion, a virtual surreality polymarked by presidential alleles peccantly misplaced or, in the case of Jefferson posthumously misappropriated...
Mia T, THE OTHER NIXON
Yesterday, Daniel Patrick Moynihan died. Today, the clintons are arrogating his soul. Hardly surprising. In 1999, the clintons were not at all shy about seizing his still-warm senate seat.
One has merely to recall the Thomas Jefferson double-helix hoax to understand that posthumous misappropriation is, for the obvious reason, the clintons' preferred method of legacy inflation….
Standard-Issue clintonism
If misappropriation of Jefferson's alleles hinged on a broken line of descent, misappropriation of Moynihan's endorsement depends on a broken line of dissent. Like Sally Hemmings' progeny, Moynihan's later acquiescence is of dubious lineage

Clinton to Address JFK Library in Wake of Intern Revelations
The clinton lovers always conveniently ignore his perjury, obstruction of justice & witness tampering! And the fact that he was fined & found in contempt of Court by a federal judge; was disbarred in Arkansas and barred from pleading a case before the Supreme Court.
...not to mention clinton's rape of Broaddrick and other predations.
In the end, it was the incontrovertilble Ford-Building evidence of those "horrific, vicious" crimes (to quote Christopher Shays) that made the difference in the impeachment vote (although, oddly, not in that of Shays, whose reasoning apparently went something like this:
And in the end, it was the Senate's failure to consider that incontrovertilble evidence -- it was the Senate's utter failure to act -- that kept a pair of self-serving rapists in power , which, in turn, allowed 9/11 to proceed on course....
To be fair, it was not the Lieberman speech but rather a New York Times apologia that institutionalized this shameless scheme to protect a thoroughly corrupt and repugnant--and--as everyone except The New York Times now acknowledges-- dangerous -- Democrat regime.
The Lieberman Paradigm made its debut in The Times' utterly loony 1996 endorsement of clinton. The Times actually argued -- NOTE: this is NOT satire on my part (nor is it satire, as far as I can discern, on the part of The Times) -- that although bill clinton is a "corrupt," "dysfunctional personality [with} delusions" -- The Times' own words -- we need not -- we must not -- remove bill clinton; we need only remove.the character lobe of bill clinton's brain.
THE SHAYS SYNDROME
Not an aberration, the Shays Syndrome was quickly adopted by the entire Senate as its impeachment show trial deus ex machina of choice.
Shays, you may recall, examined the evidence in the Ford Building, concluded that clinton did, indeed, rape Broaddrick -- "VICIOUSLY!" AND "TWICE!" he declared at the time-- and was planning to vote to impeach; he changed his mind, however, after a tete a tete with the rapist.
Any cognitive dissonance Shays may have experienced rendering that verdict was no doubt assuaged by the political plum clinton had given Mrs. (Betsi) Shays...
Each of the 50 senators, on the other hand, cured the cognitive dissonance problem pre-emptively by making certain not to examine the damning Ford Building evidence in the first place.
I am not aware of any JFK rapes...
On the other hand, it is perfectly understandable that his brother, the one who murdered to cover up a dalliance, would imagine that the imprimatur of a rapist and exploiter of White House interns would somehow mitigate -- dilute, if you will pardon the pun -- JFK's transgression... and retroactively, no less.
I cannot imagine that Teddy is trying to spin the converse. I mean, would he really sacrifice his dead brother on the altar of clinton?
In fact, Clinton was not impeached for his dalliance with Lewinsky, but because he perjured himself about the relationship in testimony before a federal judge and a grand jury in an attempt to obstruct justice in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case.
Therefore clinton is a fit president.)
All the fuss over the spread-eagle pose and the tie pointing to nothing much.
I think the great untold story of that photo is the scary fisheye distortion of the rapist's hands (which only underscores the smallness of the rest of him)...
It is as though the photographer was saying, "You small -----. I believe Juanita."

WRITTEN IN STONE: AN ARCHITECT DEFINES THE CLINTONS
by Mia T, 12-30-02
If mutability of meaning was necessary for the survival of the clintons--their survival hinged ultimately on the deconstruction of words and laws--it is more than a little ironic, and a manifestation of the special sway and shortsightedness of the pathologic ego, that clinton's monument to himself will necessarily define the clintons with the permanance of great inviolate places of iconic architecture.
Whereas a huckster removes meaning from institutions --the wife picked up where the husband left off--an architect encodes meaning in buildings. James S. Polshek, the architect with the dubious distinction of having been commissioned to build the William J. Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, believes that a successful architectural solution must necessarily be rooted in relevance.
Just as Polshek's buildings have physical layers, so too do they have layers of meaning. His Rose Center for Earth and Space, for example, is informed formally and programmatically by the historic architecture of a designated landmark even as it redefines itself, (often too self-consciously, in my view), in Star-Trekian terms. Reduced to its essence, the building is the nascent universe before the Big Bang, the promise of the undifferentiated cell in its mother's womb.
The "bridge to the 21st century" was, perhaps, clinton's most delusional conceit, so it is not surprising that it would become clinton's self-referential metaphor of choice. His library was to be that bridge, if he had anything to say about it...
The architect is often the master of the inside joke, witness Robert Venturi's postmodern chairs. Venturi exploited--unabashedly and with abandon--the vocabulary of Las Vegas, its stage-set-as-reality and its roadside culture--bright, clashing, ugly and fake. The architect's inside joke is his hedge against the sycophancy that comes with patronage.
The flip side of the encoded meaning of the architect is the terrorist's decoding of it. To bin Laden, the World Trade Center was Jewish capitalism encoded in urban space. If Polshek's vision of clinton's library is a bridge, the inside joke is that, at best, it is a bridge to nowhere.
More likely, it is a bridge to the 7th century...or a doublewide to house clinton double-speak. Take your choice.

Below is the text of the May 16 Media Reality Check titled, "Rather Praises Clinton As An 'Honest Man'; CBS's Top Watchdog: 'I Think You Can Be an Honest Person and Lie About Any Number of Things.'"
Appearing on the Fox News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor Tuesday night, Dan Rather insisted he had no "inner bias...that goes easy on a Clinton and hard on somebody from the Republican side." But in his answers, Rather revealed that he sees the world through liberal-tinted lenses. Highlights from Rather's FNC appearance:
-- Rape is a private matter: "I don't remember all the details of Juanita Broaddrick," Rather dismissively commented in reference to the Arkansas woman who alleged that Clinton raped her in 1978, "but I will say that -- and you can castigate me if you like -- when the charge has something to do with somebody's private sex life, I would prefer not to run any of it."
-- Bill Clinton has an honest core: "I think he's an honest man," Rather told O'Reilly. "Do you, really?" the FNC host incredulously retorted, reminding him that Clinton lied to the country about Monica Lewinsky. "I think at core he is an honest person," Rather absurdly insisted. "I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."
-- Mistakes were made: After Rather claimed that CBS "did do quite a bit on campaign finance," O'Reilly recalled that the anchorman had refused to bring it up when he interviewed the President: "When you interviewed Clinton himself in 1999, we have a transcript of the interview, you didn't ask him anything about the campaign finance stuff." Instead of defending his glaring omission, Rather shrugged, "Look, I'm not a perfect interviewer."

Yep ! Here is an article I just posted. One clintoon administration official is criticizing BUSH on the war effort against al-Qaeda!:
Did U.S. misjudge al-Qaeda resolve? -So what was it that you and Clinton did to fight terrorism, Michael Greenberger?
bombings may show tide hasn't turned in terrorism fight
Excerpt:"We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide," Mr. Bush told the nation in his triumphant May 1 speech aboard an aircraft carrier, declaring victory in Iraq.
The words, echoed a week later by the FBI director, were "very, very misleading to the American public," said Michael Greenberger, a former Clinton administration counterterrorism official.
"My view is we have every reason to be very vigilant from one end of the country to the other and that any attempt to make an historical assessment of where we are in this war before the war is over is a fool's errand."
