Free Republic

"We all have to die of something." . That was Jocelyn Elders line (Bill Clinton’s Surgeon General). I remember that Rush Limbaugh used to play it all the time. Would be great to dig up the clip of that right now. But it’s been memory hole'd on the Internet or at least Google is not letting me know where it is. Does anyone have it? Long shot I know...

It didn't take long for Clark to play "The Wacky General". Maybe some day Gen. Clark and Farrakhan can take off in their time capsules together? See also: http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,60629,00.html

ALBERT AND THE HAND COUNT by Emmett McAuliffe (with apologies to Johnny Otis and Eric Clapton) I know a cat named Way-Out Albert, Got a cool little Veep named Liebermann. He can walk and stroll, kiss "Susie Q" And do that crazy hand count, too. Mama, mama, look at Sen’tor Joe Doing the hand count with Janet Reno.

Either way we lose decency, morality, ...

CONSERVATIVES AND THE GOP A DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP By: John Bender The Republican convention should be a wake up call for conservatives. This isn't your party anymore. In fact, the convention is a slap across the face of conservatives. No conservative voices are being heard at this anointing of Boy George. The House managers are being hidden away. Steve Forbes is not invited to speak, nor is Dan Quayle. Just as this column was being written a rumor is circulating that Ambassador Keyes is going to be allowed to speak but we were unable to confirm that rumor with the Ambassador ...

August 2, 2000 CONVENTION FEVER by Justin Raimondo The political season was officially inaugurated by Monday's kickoff of the Republican national convention, and convention fever is in the air – but what it induces in this correspondent is much closer to a bout of sleeping sickness. I know I am not alone in this. More minutely scripted than a Soviet party congress in Stalin's heyday, the GOP confab is designed to convince minorities – or, more likely, white liberals and the ubiquitous "soccer moms" – that the Republican party is a paragon of political correctness. Colin Powell lectures Republicans on ...
