 Fun, True Quotes
  by Lars Eric Nelson, NYW Times

 To most people, high gasoline prices are a problem.
 To George W. and many of his Republican colleagues, they're a solution.

 Cheap gas hurts the American domestic oil industry.
 (Correction - Cheap gas destroys domestic oil)

 Higher gas prices fatten the wallets of  Texas contributors who have
 already given the younger Bush $14.5 million to run for President.

 In 1986, Bush's father, then-Vice President George Bush, flew hastily
 to Saudi Arabia to halt what he described as a "free fall" in oil prices.

 In 1986, oil dropped to $9 a barrel, W Bush owed $2 million to banks, with little oil coming in.
 In this nerve-racking year, 1986, Bush stopped drinking and started taking Bible classes.

 ha ha
 (When in trouble, the weak always run to the invisible ghosts for help.)

 Last year, World Oil magazine complained that oil prices had again collapsed and predicted that
 Bush would be the "perfect individual to lead the charge in doing something about the price of oil,
 " i.e., raise it.

 Now, oil industry profits are up 500%.  Bush has already raised $1.5 million from the oil industry
 and now, oil industry executives will have even more money to contribute to him.

 Republicans will blame Democratic-backed clean air regulations, ethanol and Clinton's 4.3-cent
 increase in the gas tax. But as they do, you can hear them laughing all the way to the bank.



 NRA Opens Branch in Florida

 (Reuters) - A man is holding his 4-year-old son and a food service worker hostage in a
 room at a Disney World hotel on Thursday, demanding to see his estranged wife, police said.

 Sgt. Bernie Presha said the man was believed to be armed but did not say what the weapon was.
 A police SWAT team at the Boardwalk hotel was trying to negotiate a surrender, he said.
 Presha said. ``He indicated to a hotel clerk that he did have a weapon.''

 "The World's Happiest Place isn't so happy right now." said Presha.

Subject:  Good Tithings

From:  Joankitty@aol.com

Bartcop,
Have you ever visited Hope Unitarian church on south Sheridan?
I'd be nterested to know your thoughts on that church's tithing recommendations.
Each week when the plate is passed, it goes directly to the day center for
the homeless (or it did a couple of years ago.)
My husband and I were members and the thing I miss most is the pastor, Gary Blaine.
There was never a sermon where he didn't tear my heart out.
Even more impressive is the fact that he actually used the word, "fuck" in the pulpit.

Keep on eating that frozen custard!
Joankitty (fellow k-dragger)
 

ha ha

A church that helps the poor?
Is this a gag?
Is that you, Artie?

ha ha

You almost had me for a minute, there.
A pastor using the language that most Americans use?
Why, if he did that, he might actually communicate with people.


 Not-so Great Survivor Quotes

 "A Bible? What the hell did he bring that for?
  I mean, I'm religious, but the only reason I'd bring
  a bible to this island would be to wipe my ass."
   -- The old coot on CBS's most popular show,



 David Nyhan of the Boston Globe
  has become one of my favorite writers.

 Stroke Me, Stroke Me

"The Democrats say free prescription drugs for the elderly is "important,"
 but why now?  Why didn't they bring this up 20 years ago?"
    -- Hitler's Dog, just now.
 

 Duh!

 The elderly couldn't afford their medicine when Reagan was president!
 Twenty years ago, we didn't have Clinton's trillion dollar surplus!

 It took the Clinton Miracle to make it possible.


 This Just In...

 From the Drudge Report

 Drudge has done the Democrats a favor and listed Keating's negatives.
 (If you're reading this from top to bottom, Drudge says Smirk has picked
 OK Gov Frank Keating (R-State Joke) for his VP.  See below)

Keating negatives:

*He's Catholic
 (Just kidding, that was mine. All the rest are real)

*He urged Mr. Bush to completely answer questions about past drug use.
 (ha ha  Honesty in politics? Get the fuck outta here!)

*Keating is known for his sharp public comments that have angered teachers,
 Democrats, fellow Catholics and even his own wife. His solution for dealing
 with the state teachers union? "Homicide," he quipped.
 His take on a school shooting at Fort Gibson, Okla.?
 "A call to arms."
 (These last two aren't a problem.
 In Oklahoma, teachers are seen as lower than snakeshit and
 guns are thought to be as important here as declining an education.)

One factor has apparently knocked Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge out of the running:
His physical presence!  Ridge is too physically large.
(Too physically large?   ha ha  Who wrote that non-sentence?)
Standing next to Bush, he may appear "overbearing," says a source.

ha ha

Kevin Cunningham had that scoop a week ago!
Way to go, Kevin!


 

Bush advisers now believe, based on internal polling data, that McCain
is not needed to secure independent voters.

Bush may announce his running mate before the Republican convention in
Philadelphia to thwart any possible McCain momentum.

ha ha

Smirk is still worried about McCain?

Mr. Media Outlet Owner, you need me in Philly to cover this!
Hire BartCop - do it today!
When the "astounding and unexpected bombshell" hits that Smirk is dropping out,
 you can claim you hired the lone pundit who predicted it a year ago.




This is the very first mention of of it, but I, BartCop, your Ediotr,
am sitting on a monsterous political bombshell of a story.

I've checked this story out with Joe Conason, with Tamara Baker, with Voltai29,
with Bushwatch, with Sabutai and local Knuckledrag Democratic higher-ups, and it's big!

It's bigger than  Priceline.com  and I have the exclusive!
This is not a gag.
This story is a monster!

If the Smirk campaign had any goddamn brains, my life would be in danger,
but they don't so I'm not worried about it.

But...

...if I have to "use the baby" between now and the election,
wanna bet the body has a Texas driver's license in his pants?

I've been sitting on this story since late last year.
I'm waiting for just the right time to drop this bomb.
Conason, Baker, Volt, Bushwatch, Sabutai etc have given me their word
they would not even hint at this story until it breaks here at bartcop.com

It's probably the biggest news story of the 1990's, and I have the exclusive.
It'll break first  - right here on  bartcop.com

I plan to drop this bomb GOP convention week,
but circumstances sometimes change even the best plans.

Remember that Shrub biographer that broke Shrub's coke bust story?
Remember how his book got buried when his own record came to light?
Poppy Bush used to run the CIA.
Do you doubt that he knows how to get people buried too?
Not every Republican is incompetent.

ha ha

Poppy's buddies, the guys who've spent the last 30 years bailing Shrub
out of one screwup after another, have an awful lot riding on this election.
People with embarrassing info on Smirk have a nasty habit of turning up dead.
Documents turn up missing.  Like Shrub's Alabama service records.
And his old Texas driver's license.  There'll be more.  But none of it incriminating.

Surprisingly, I disagree, and I can show my work.

If there was NO PROOF that Smirk did cocaine, for example,
he would simply deny it in no uncertain terms and that would be that.

But since he refuses to discuss his cocaine use, that proves, to me anyway,
that he CAN'T deny it because the proof is out there.

WHEN, (not if) Smirk gets caught on the coke charge, he'll say,
"Unlike Clinton, I never lied to you, that's the difference."

Gee, Smirk. There's a difference between the president having sex
and some bonehead playboy who's got a cocaine monkey on his back.

The GOP is betting the next four years that the PROOF will surface after
the election and that Smirk will somehow, be able to ride it out.

Gore is sitting on proof.


The Big Bully Wimps Out

After defiantly vowing to take the No 7 train to Shae Stadium,
John Rocker got a ride to work in a police car, according to ABC news.
In the photo above, you see the yellow bastard being guarded by two white cops,
so he doesn't get his ass kicked by purple-haired punks or unwed mothers.

Subject:  kids are perceptive

From:   skisics@yahoo.com
 

Bartcop,
Don't ever let anyone tell you kids aren't perceptive.

I usually don't listen to the radio when Rush is on, I work.
But today I had to run out at lunch time and had my daughters with me.
I turned on Rush, cause I knew he'd be ranting about Elian and needed to
chuckle.  After about 2 minutes, my youngest piped up,

"Hey dad, this guy's annoying."

 Paul Harvey

 Whoops, didn't mean to start a stampede.
 Koresh knows when a stable full of horses hears the sound of a zipper or
 the name "Paul Harvey," a stampede is almost always the result.

 Anyway, this unnamed "PH" fellow just reported another Nazi ambush.
 He said Gore answered, "I don't know" or "I don't remember" 85 times
 during four hours of FBI questions about fund-raising in 1996.

 I guarantee, some of those questions were:

 1. What did you have for breakfast June 29, 1996?
 2. When you ate breakfast, did you touch the spoon or fork first?
 3. What was the first word of the first sentence you used that day?
 4. What was the exact temperature at 6 AM that morning?
 5. How many calls did your staffers make to their wives during
     your trip to that Buddhist temple in Los Angeles?

 Endless questions about nothing, designed to generate non-responsive answers
 so toothless horse molesters like Paul Harvey and the vulgar Pigboy can get
 on their hate shows and say, "See? See how guilty he is? See?"

 They always forget that Saint Reagan answered "I don't know" 57 times
 when asked, "Why did you sell Stinger missles to Islamic Jihad?"

 And that was before cheap-ass ambush questions became the norm in this whore society.


Cunningham keeps getting better all the time!

Y'know, the prayer-in-school debate is probably the easiest win a Democrat
could ever have. It's the most impossible-to-defend horseshit ever, and still
the GOP thinks it's a winning subject in a presidential campaign.

Take a slut like Dr. Laura.

She's a Jew.
She wants prayers in school, but they won't EVER say Jewish prayers in school
because the Jews say Christ isn't God, and this ditto-monkey Congress wants
the US military to force a different religion on us than Judaism.

So why does Laura the Unloved want her precious Derecheeckycehe taught
religion by an oppresive federal government who can't pave fucking roads?

Beats the hell outta me.


Smirk's plan to get us out of this "Oil Crisis"


 Drudge has a good joke up right now.

 Drudge says Smirk picked OK Gov. Keating for VP. The headline is:

"Bush ZEROES in on Keating," which is an excellent choice of words.
 Smirk couldn't pick a running mate with more comedy potential than the
 very Catholic governor of Knuckledrag, Frank Keating.

 Keating would be a dream come true, assuming Quayle, Barr and Burton
 etc. wouldn't accept a Smirk invitation.

 Do I have an example?
 Asked earlier this year what would be the best way to handle the teacher's
 union in Oklahoma, Frank suggested one word: "Homicide."

 ha ha

 I don't really think this idiot wants to murder teachers, it's just an example
 of what wild and crazy things this idiot is likely to say to a reporter.

 Go Keating!

 ha ha



 

 There's a woman named Debbie Schlussel who loves Rush.
 She thinks ABC made a big mistake in not hiring His Lardship.
 To read this woman's rant, you'd think she was unaware that Rush
 has already had a TV show, back when he was more popular than
 he is now, and it went over like a Bob Dole presidential campaign.

 I recommend you read this amusing rant.

 The O'Reilly Whore

 So last night I caught a little bit of Bill O'Reilly on Fox Whore News.
 He was SCREAMING at some low-level, never-heard-of congresswoman
 from Connecticut about Clinton's "lack of energy" policy.

 He was SCREAMING at her to name one thing "this president" has done
 to ween America off the OPEC teat and make us self-sufficient on energy.

 "Name something he's done - go ahead," and she would start to speak and
 he'd cut her off screaming, "Name the program Clinton proposed."

 This poor idiot congresswoman didn't have a clue what to say.

 Sensing he had an easy kill, O'Reilly pressed in harder on the poor woman.
 "You can't name a program because he's never proposed one.
 This president has done nothing to help America, just like with everything
 he's ever done, if it didn't benefit Bill Clinton personally, he just didn't bother
 with it because all he ever does is think of himself," and on and on.
 She tried to answer again, but he kept screaming and cutting her off.

 Now, let me ask you:
 When you're watching this kind of crap on a news program,
 do you always have a quick answer for the sons-of-bitches?
 Are you like me? Do you throw your shoes at the TV and scream back?

 Sidebar:
 Matter of fact, I'm thinking about a new, interactive process where I tape a
 sack-of-shit like O'Reilly or Hannity and splice my verbal answers in between
 their screaming questions and post the result here.  This'll work a lot better as
 more people get DSL installed, because at 56K those audio files can take some
 time to download. Maybe I'll take a test drive soon and see how it works.
 I'll do that the next time I get pissed off, which could be as early as tonight.

 So, anyway, that mealy-mouthed freshman congresswoman was terribly
 outmatched when the O'Reilly whore started screaming at her again.
 I think what O'Reilly needs is someone who'll fight back on his show.

 Sidebar:
 I guess it's just "coincidence" that we don't see people like James Carville or
 my good friend Joe Conason on his show, because Koresh forbid, they might fire back,
and we can't have that if the ditto-spanks want to retain their false veneer of invincibility.

 Maybe someday I'll get lucky enough to get invited on one of those monkey-spank
 shows so I could unload on his bullying ass like he did that poor congresswoman.
 It might go something like this:
 

 "Hey, asshole, why don't you stop screaming and talk to me like an adult?
 You just might learn something if you'd shut the fuck up for a second.
 Clinton hasn't done a goddamn thing about this energy "crisis" because
 it's not worth it. Saudi sweet crude is so goddamn cheap, we can't afford to
 pull our own oil out of the ground. Don't you know that? How'd you get this job,
 and why the fuck are you screaming at me if you don't know that it costs $20 a
 barrel to pull our dirty oil out of the ground. And if oil is selling for $14 a barrel,
 even Texans are smart enough to know they can't make money at that price.
 What are you, ...stupid?"

 As the O'Reilly whore started to take a breath to answer, I'd cut him off.

 "Let me scream a question at you, Smirk-for-brains.  Why didn't Ronald Reagan
 take meaures to combat the giant bumblebee crisis that was terrorizing our country?
 You know why Reagan never took steps to solve the bumblebee crisis?
 Because bumblebees were never a fucking problem, that's why,  just like
 gas prices haven't been a problem for Clinton. Gas has been so goddamn cheap
 for so goddamn long, we'd be crazy to pump our own oil if it costs too much.
 Don't you know that, Mr. O'Reilly? Are you that bad with numbers. Mr. O'Reilly?
 Can't you put a fucking pencil to paper and add and subtract, Mr. O'Reilly?"

 And when the O'Reilly whore started to speak, I'd cut him off again.

 "Look at it this way: For decades, OPEC  sold us oil for about half price,
 and you want to know why Clinton hasn't done anything about that?
 What the fuck was he supposed to do? Demand that the price of oil be jacked up
 high enough so that Oklahoma and Texas could afford to re-open their closed wells?
 What kind of trickle-down horseshit is that? Sure, you could double the price of oil,
 and keep prices level and consistent, is that what you're proposing for America?
 Would you rather have gas at $2.50 sometimes or all the time, smartass?
 Christ, O'Reilly, how stupid are you? Who did you blow to get this job?

 And when O'Reilly started to speak, I'd cut his ass off again.

 "I don't think you have enough brains to get in the conversation, Bill,
 so why don't you just shut the fuck up and open your ears and learn something
 from a man with an IQ of 64, so the next time you try to bully some lady on
 your lil' hate show you don't make such a goddamn fool of yourself.
 Your cheap-ass bullying tactics might score high-ratings with the ditto-monkeys
 who worship Lord Limba, but you don't have the slightest goddamn clue about
 the economics of energy so why don't you just go toss off in a hat?"

 And when O'Reilly finally started to speak,
 I'd pull off my microphone and walk off his show.

 Fox Whore News isn't about a discussion of the issues.
 It's about Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes flooding the air with horseshit
 that can't be defended by anybody, especially the O'Reilly and Hannity whores.


 The GOP has turned their hate-guns on Pat Buchanan.
 Personally, as Nazi's go, I like pat Buchanan.
 He doesn't hold anything back, he doesn't mix words.

 He'll look you right in the eye and say,
 "I'm a Nazi and I don't care who knows it," whereas Newt and Lott
 and Barr and Pigboy and Laura all play their pretend little games.

 So, here's what they're doing to their former colleague and friend,
 and former spokesman for them every night on Crossfire:

 Paul Begala Shoots the Bull

 The Elian case does highlight the core hypocrisy of the Right.
 Their mantra is "Less Government, More Freedom," as though somehow the
 miracle of democracy was a curse. Still, I can respect the view that government
 is inefficient, or wasteful, or incompetent.  But if you believe that, why would you
 want government running the most intimate parts of our lives?

 If you don't trust the government to save lives by writing a health insurance plan,
 why do you trust it to save souls by writing prayers for our children?

 If you don't trust the government bureaucracy to regulate big business,
 why do you trust it to execute people?

 If you don't want the government telling corporate America which companies can merge,
 why do you want it to tell American citizens who they can fall in love with?

 If the government mandating Family and Medical Leave is too intrusive,
 why isn't it too intrusive for the government to keep a child away from his father?
 

 Ediotr's Note: These kinds of questions make ditto-monkeys change the subject.
 I've been in 500 debates where questions like this come up, and the DMs always
 resort to, "Well, what about this here and that there?" because they can't answer
 simple, simple, simple questions like Paul has just asked.


 Great Deserved Quotes

"Rush was an ideal choice. His broadcast record is phenomenal. What worried us
 most was, there are 10,000 hours of Rush Limbaugh broadcasting archives out there.
 When you're improvising an opinionated talk show three hours a day for over 12 years
 like Rush has been, who knows how many flippant comments are out there somewhere
 on tape that might come back to haunt him -- and us. We didn't know what was out there.
 Choosing Rush was just too risky."
  -- an ABC insider
 

 This is an excellent defensive play by ABC.
 The minute Rush was given the job, tapes would flood the Internet of Rush screaming,
 "Take that bone out of your nose, negro, and call me back when you do."
 The feminist updates, the animal rights updates, the Dumpster Diner updates,
 the laughing at Clinton's "criminality" while we had men in battle.

 "Chelsea the White House dog," - that's ABC's new spokesman?
 "Hillary murdered Vince Foster," - that's ABC's new spokesman?

 ABC couldn't afford to invest a season in this race-baiting bastard, so they bailed.
 Does that remind you of anything?

 The idiot GOP hasn't thought about defense for a single second.
 ABC is a lot smarter than the Republican party.

 The minute the idiot GOP names Smirk as their White-Power nominee,
 audio tapes will surface.
 Photos will surface.
 A marriage license will surface.
 A birth certificate will surface.
 His cocaine mug shot will surface.
 Videotape will surface.
 A woman and her now-teenage son will appear on Larry King,
 and the GOP will ask, "Koresh! How did we get into this mess?"

 ...if only the GOP had been reading  bartcop.com
 They could've saved themselves the embarrassment.

1. "I got no help getting into the National Guard"
        A State Senator says otherwise.

2. "I had no knowledge or meetings about Funeral Gate." (Perjury)
        But I stuck my head in the door and said,
        "Are they still hassling you, Jim?" (Proving I knew something)
        Then ordered my Chief of Staff to "Take care of him.")
        By the way, How did I get to the meeting? *

      * When Republicans wanted to prove that Clinton knew the details
       of a meeting between Jim McDougal and David Hale they claimed
       that how he get to the meeting was "important evidence."

3. "I read a book about Dean Atchison."
        But I don't know anything about it.

4. "I do not pay attention to polls and focus Groups."
       But I spend $30,000 a month on them.

5. "I showed up for service in Alabama."
       But the officer that I was supposed to report to, swears I did not.

6. "John McCain sold out his fellow POWs."
       But I made someone else say the words.

7. "John McCain voted against breast cancer funding,"
       But I made someone else say the words.

8. "John McCain is against clean air and water."

Peter McWilliams is dead.

Age?

Fifty.

Profession?

Author, poet, publisher.

Particular focus of interest?

The federal judge in California (George King) would decide in a few
weeks how long a sentence to hand down, and whether to send McWilliams
to prison or let him serve his sentence at home.

What was his offense?

He collaborated in growing marijuana plants.

What was his defense?

Well, the judge wouldn't allow him to plead his defense to the jury. If
given a chance, the defense would have argued that under Proposition
215, passed into California constitutional law in 1996, infirm
Californians who got medical relief from marijuana were permitted to use
it. The judge also forbade any mention that McWilliams suffered from
AIDS and cancer, and got relief from the marijuana.

What was he doing when he died?

Vomiting.
The vomiting hit him while in his bathtub, and he choked to death.

Was there nothing he might have done to still the impulse to vomit?

Yes, he could have taken marijuana; but the judge's bail terms forbade
him to do so, and he submitted to weekly urine tests to confirm that he
was living up to the terms of his bail.

Did anybody take note of the risk he was undergoing?

He took Marinol -- a proffered, legal substitute, but reported after
using it that it worked for him only about one-third of the time. When
it didn't work, he vomited.

Was there no public protest against the judge's ruling?

Yes. On June 9, the television program "20/20" devoted a segment to the
McWilliams plight. Commentator John Stossel summarized:

"McWilliams is out of prison on the condition that he not smoke marijuana,
but it was the marijuana that kept him from vomiting up his medication.
I can understand that the federal drug police don't agree with what some
states have decided to do about medical marijuana, but does that give them
the right to just end-run those laws and lock people up?"

Shortly after the trial last year, Charles Levendosky, writing in the
Ventura County (Calif.) Star, summarized: "The cancer treatment resulted
in complete remission." But only the marijuana gave him sustained relief
from the vomiting that proved mortal.

Is it being said, in plain language, that the judge's obstinacy resulted
in killing McWilliams? Yes. The Libertarian Party press release has made
exactly that charge. "McWilliams was prohibited from using medical
marijuna -- and being denied access to the drug's anti-nausea properties
almost certainly caused his death."

Reflecting on the judge's refusal to let the jury know that there was
understandable reason for McWilliams to believe he was acting legally, I
ended a column in this space in November by writing, "So, the fate of
Peter McWilliams is in the hands of Judge King. Perhaps the cool thing
for him to do is delay a ruling for a few months, and just let Peter
McWilliams die." Well, that happened last week, on June 14.

The struggle against a fanatical imposition of federal laws on marijuana
will continue, as also on the question whether federal laws can stifle
state initiatives. Those who believe the marijuana laws are insanely
misdirected have a martyr.

Peter was a wry, mythogenic guy, humorous, affectionate, articulate, shrewd, sassy.
He courted anarchy at the moral level. His most recent book (his final book) was called
"Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do." We were old friends, and I owe my early
conversion to word processing to his guidebook on how to do it. Over the years we
corresponded, and he would amiably twit my conservative opinions. When I judged him
to have gone rampant on his own individualistic views in his book, I wrote him to that effect.
I cherish his reply -- nice acerbic deference, the supreme put-down.

"Please remember the Law of Relativity as applied to politics: In order for you to
be right, at least someone else must be wrong. Your rightness is only shown in relation
to the other's wrongness. Conversely, your rightness is necessary for people like me to
look truly wrong. Before Bach, people said of bad organ music, 'That's not quite right.'
After Bach, people said flatly, 'That's wrong.' This allowed dedicated composers to grow,
and cast the neophytes back to writing how-to-be-happy music. So, thank me for my
wrongness, as so many reviews of my book will doubtless say, 'People should read more
of a truly great political commentator: William F. Buckley Jr.'"

Imagine such a spirit ending its life at 50, just because they wouldn't let him have a toke.
We have to console ourselves with the comment of the two prosecutors.
They said they were "saddened" by Peter McWilliams' death.
Many of us are -- by his death and the causes of it.

William F. Buckley,
Republican

Subject:  Rush said Dennis Miller's a crybaby

BartCop:

Dennis Miller used to have a TV show of his own.  It was on late at night.
After his show was cancelled, Dennis was asked about it during an interview
and he complained about the shitty hour his show was on.

Rush read the interview and chastised Dennis mercilessly.  Rush explained to
his ditto-freaks how the free market works:  You get a show at an unpopular
hour, and you do your best.  People will watch.  Then you get a better hour,
and more people watch.  Then they move your show to a great hour.

But, Rush explained, whiny, crybaby Dennis didn't understand that.
Rush said Dennis blew his opportunity.  Rush said Dennis  is a sniveling crybaby.
Rush went on and on about Dennis' baseless complaint.  Rush wanted to know
what kind of human scum would get a TV show and then complain when it got cancelled.

We all know what happened next, don't we?  Rush got a TV show.
His show was cancelled.
And what did the stoic Rush Limbaugh do?
He cried 5,000 times as much as Dennis Miller did.

And now we know ....the rest of the story.

Good day!

 Ray Can’t Find Words to Exonerate Hillary
  by Joe Conason

 On June 22, the fax machine spit out a press release of slightly
 less than two pages from the Office of the Independent Counsel
 regarding the long-delayed conclusion of the investigation "commonly
 known as the Travel Office matter." It was a statement from independent
 counsel Robert W. Ray, the successor to Kenneth W. Starr, informing
 the public that he would seek no indictments and that the matter is now "closed."

 Apart from its potential impact on the New York Senate race, there wasn’t really
 much drama left in this denouement. Exactly like the F.B.I. files case, which the
 O.I.C. officially closed three months ago, the decision against any prosecutions in
 the so-called Travelgate probe has been "commonly known" for a long, long time.

 Mr. Ray burdened his announcement with nine paragraphs of explanation. He
 complained about legal resistance by the White House, as if that might excuse the
 incredible delay in reporting his office’s failure to uncover any crime. The truth is
 that Mr. Starr gave up on both these phony cases well over two years ago and
 should have dropped them promptly. Instead he left Mr. Ray the onerous tasks of
 cleaning up this partisan mess and justifying the messiness.

 At a cost of roughly $1 million per paragraph, give or take a million, the O.I.C.’s
 Travel Office press release is surely one of the most expensive exercises in the
 history of bureaucratic prose. A more complete version will be made available, at a
 somewhat lower cost per word, to the Special Division, the judicial panel that
 oversees independent counsels; and several months from now, if the Special
 Division sees fit to release it, the taxpayers may have a chance to peruse that
 document.

 But why wait for such details and facts? Details tend to clutter a good story, and
 facts, as another President once said, are stupid things.

 Besides, the O.I.C. press release seemed to invite the headline that appeared the
 following day in the New York Post, accompanied by a suitably unflattering picture
 of Mrs. Clinton: "Good Liar."

 The wording of Mr. Ray’s statement— "insufficient to prove to a jury beyond a
 reasonable doubt"—seemed to encourage the instant tabloid reversal of her
 exoneration, and elsewhere raised questions about the apparent insinuation of guilt
 that accompanied the formal acknowledgment of innocence.

 On the evening of June 23, some of those questions were put directly to Mr.
 Ray—who had embarked on a television blitz of dubious propriety—by Margaret
 Warner, the co-anchor of the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. Scrupulously but bluntly,
 she pressed the independent counsel for a fuller accounting, and his responses
 seemed to simultaneously undermine and bolster the belligerent journalistic
 interpretations of his official statement.

 As he told Ms. Warner, "we did review Mrs. Clinton’s testimony, and we
 reviewed it thoroughly after an extensive investigation. We determined that no jury,
 based upon the evidence that we would be able to present, would convict her.
 Once having made that judgment, it was appropriate … to remove the lingering
 cloud that an investigation creates."

 He then proceeded to re-create that cloud by insisting that Mrs. Clinton had played
 a substantial role in dismissing the Travel Office employees through conversations
 with various members of the White House staff, although he found that she had
 spoken only once on the subject with David Watkins, the presidential assistant who
 actually carried out the firings. "We can have [a] discussion about whether that was
 a direct or indirect role," he added.

 "But remember," Mr. Ray continued, "that’s just the beginning of the process. That
 was what caused an investigation.…My job was a very limited one. And that was
 simply to determine based upon the testimony and the statements that she made
 with regard to that role, whether or not that testimony was knowingly false. And we
 emphatically found that the answer to that question was no." [Emphasis added.]

 Moments later, however, he returned again to the innuendo-laden locution of
 "beyond a reasonable doubt," leaving Ms. Warner slightly puzzled. "Are you trying
 to imply something without actually saying it?" she asked.

 "What I’m trying to say is that a prosecutor makes a judgment about evidence …
 whether or not that would be sufficient to persuade a jury to convict," he replied.
 "Once I’ve made that judgment, there are no further judgments for a prosecutor to
 make. I’m not in the business as a prosecutor of deciding whether or not someone is
 exonerated in that sense."

 No indeed, he isn’t in that business at all. In fact, Mr. Ray seems to believe that he
 is in the business of influencing an election by ensuring that exoneration, as normally
 understood, is impossible. And he is perfectly willing to leave further judgments to
 the national media, where complexity gets short shrift and the presumption of
 innocence doesn’t even get lip service.

Subject: Bye bye, Elian

Dear Elain,

I am overjoyed that your struggle is finally over.
I am sorry that your young life was made into an American soap opera,
for the benefit of our media culture. I am sorry about your Mom and I
wish that she had made it to the US and enjoyed life here with you at her side.
But her tragic fate is now history and the arms of your father now keep you safe.
I hope that you won't hold it against the people of this nation because, as I am sure
you are aware, most of us believed that returning with your father to your
homeland is the right thing to do.

Also, keep in mind the impact that you had on our conscience with regard to our
40 year embargo against Fidel Castro, which we now know has been been a
horrible mistake. We have recently opened up markets for food and medicine.
I hope and believe that this is only the first step in normalizing relations with your country.

Go home, Elain. Be young and carefree.
Don't worry about your relatives in Miami right now, as I want to believe that
all will be forgiven in due time. After all, what is more important than family?

Thank you and God bless you.

Farewell,

Randall Guyton

 Bad Language Alert

 So last night I'm channel surfing and I see that stupid whore Chris the Screamer.
 Yes, it's Chris the Catholic, Chris the idiot, Chris the sellout hand-jobber.
 To make things worse, he's interviewing Bill (still smoking) Bennett.

 Sidebar:
 By the way, Mr. Bennett, you've never been CONVICTED of rape, right?
 No matter what Ms. Sanchez claims, you were never CONVICTED, right?
 I mean, you were never even formally charged, were you?
 Sounds pretty innocent to me, if you weren't even formally charged..

 Back to Chris the partisan, lying son-of-a-bitch...

 So I catch a few minutes of Chris-the-shit talking to Bill Bennett who has never
 been formally charged with rape, and they were going down a CHECK LIST,
 comparing our current vice president to that smirking little rich kid from Texas.

 Here's how it went, and I heard this myself, so eat me if you disagree.

 Matthews: Honesty, which one's more honest? Gore or Bush?

 Bennett: Well, I certainly couldn't give that title to Al Gore. He's a bad, bad man
                who's helped the biggest criminal in history with his crime spree.

 Matthews: I agree completely! Gore's a bad, bad man, unworthy of the office..
                   OK, who's more sincere, Gore or Bush?

 Bennett: Well, I personally think Bush is more sincere. As you know, Al Gore's
                 only after an ego-trip and a power-grab, helping the biggest criminal ever
                 to hurt America with his no-morals governing style.

 Matthews: I agree completely, so who's more wonderful?

 Bennett: Oh, I think Gov Bush is a wonderful guy, whereas Al Gore isn't wonderful.
               Al Gore's not even a good landlord, he claimed to have invented the internet,
                Love Story, blah, blah, Love Canal, blah, blah, no controlling legal authority,
                only gave $300 to charity, blah, blah, and he enabled Clinton, blah, blah.

 Matthews: So, what about Foreign policy? Who's got more experience with foreign policy?

 Bennett:  (too goddamned stunned to speak - can't think of anyfuckingthing to say)

 Matthews:  ....I guess, ....
                        I guess, ....
                        I guess you COULD say....
                        I guess ...
        I guess you COULD argue that Gore has more
                   foreign policy experience than Bush....
 

 Hey, Chris!
 I hardly ever get down to a plain old "Fuck You," but this is one of those times.
 Journalism has sunk to such shit these days, that a once-respected hand-jobber
 can get on TV with a no-morals "Morality expert" and lie like a fucking dog?

 To suggest that a spoiled idiot-playboy four-year governor, who proved he can't
 remember the name of the prime minister of fucking Canada might possibly be
 at the same level of foreign policy expertise as the man who has co-driven the
 bus for the last 8 years makes me wonder what the fuck is going on.

 How is this even possible?

 Tell me, Chris the prick, if I was going to shoot some baskets with Michael Jordan,
 COULD you argue Jordan has more experience than Ol' BartCop at basketball?
 You think you could handle a big, tough assignment like that?

 Jesus Christ, we have reached a new low in America.
 I saw it myself, and I still can't believe the SOB said that.

 You COULD argue Gore knows more foreign policy than a No-Brain governor
 who's foreign policy experience-til-now has been flying to Mexico to drink, for some
 ungodly goddamn reason, Jim fucking Beam until he fell off his fucking barstool?
 You call that experience?
 You call that shit being a journalist?

 Christ!

 (big exhale...)

 During Paula Jones, I said it couldn't get worse.
 During Monica,  I said it couldn't get worse.
 During impeachment,  I said it couldn't get worse.
 During Juanita Brodderrick,  I said it couldn't get worse.

 ...but it keeps getting worse, day after day,
which just goes to show how little I know about anything...

 Are you and all the other Clinton lovers going to credit Clinton with the
 high gasoline prices, since you seem to want to think he is responsible for
 the strong economy?

 Clinton is responsible for the stock market, the drop in crime, the drop in
 interest rates, the increase in real wages, the record housing starts, the
 tremendous comeback of Detroit's sales worldwide, the drop in abortions,
 the drop in AIDS deaths, the mapping of the Genomes, steps towards peace
 in Ireland, the Middle-East, North & South Korea, Kosovo and Bosnia, and the
 general peace and prosperity like no nation, even ours, has ever seen before.

 But this gasoline crisis is all Reagan's fault.


 Is today the last day of the Elian Circus?

 Larry Klayman must be having chest pains.


 Horowitz

 Salon Magazine hired David Horowitz for the same reason
 Fox Whore News hired Alan Colmes - they're both so goddamn pitiful
 at putting an argument together that they make their enemies look good.

 Horowitz wrote some horseshit that I thought would be fun to ridicule.
 If you want to see the whole column,  Click  Here.

 In the article, he even attacks my good friend Joe Conason,
 who certainly doesn't need any help from me, but I thought it would
 be fun to cherry-pick a few sentences from it:

 As we enter the final six months of the Clinton-Gore era, it has become obvious
 to all but the willfully stupefied that this will go down as the most criminal,
 most corrupt, most cynical administration in American history.

 You notice which words he did NOT use in that sentence?
 How about, "the administration with the most felony convictions."
 That would describe the Nixon administration.

 How about, "the administration that needed pardons to escape prison?"
 That would describe the Reagan/Butch administrations.

 Anybody, even a brain-dead Republican hack, can throw around adjectives like,
 "criminal, corrupt and cynical" because adjectives can't be measured.
 But "felonies" and "pardons" can be measured by simply COUNTING them,
 so Horowitz wisely avoids getting tangled in bad behavior that can be measured.

 My favorite is, "they all do it," was the one used by half of my fellow speeders in
 'traffic school,' who claimed they should not have been singled out for punishment
 because their actions were no different from anyone else's.

 So, you admit to being a law-breaker?
 Shame on you.
 Your cavalier attitude towards the law disgusts me.
 I'll bet you're voting for Smirk this year.

 To measure what is being witnessed in these historic days, consider that
 Richard Nixon was removed from the presidency because of 18 minutes of
 erased tape that allegedly recorded his obstructions of justice.

 ha ha

 That's so false, you'd have to take a plane with a layover in Phoenix to get to the truth.
 Nixon RESIGNED after Howard Baker and Barry Goldwater told him even the
 Republicans were going to vote against his crooked ass at his impeachment trail.

 ha ha
 What a lying shit!

 What the fuck is wrong with you, Mr Horowitz?

 Do you think your audience is only young people?
 I remember 1973, like most Americans do, Smirk-for-brains.
 Why did you tell that crazy, clumsy lie?
 What are you, like, ...stupid?

 Like all the other good fortunes of the White House mob (for example,
 the disappearance of  ...congressional witnesses) this one is hardly an accident.

 ha ha

 Make him stop!
 Hey, David, how much did you pay for that Falwell tape?
 Did Hillary murder all the witnesses?
 Or did they just flee to China?
 Please list for me the witnesses that have fled and not returned, liar.

 Salon columnist Joe Conason, well-known for his unflagging loyalty to
 every Clinton claim, argues that the failure to make the case against Clinton
 in matters like Travelgate and the missing FBI files is sufficient to presume
 that no charge against him credible.

 Joe doesn't need my help, but maybe what he really said was everytime you whores
 scream, "The sky is REALLY falling this time," the odds of you ever getting
 the truth from you decline with every false cry of "Wolf!"

 Everyone who has watched the tape of Clinton's Grand Jury testimony
 knows that a determined liar can make hash out of the system and
 successfully obstruct the pursuit of justice.

 You mean all a suspect has to do is lie to avoid jail?
 Is that why America's prisons are empty?

 ha ha

 Everything on the public record so far indicates that Clinton
 and Gore are determined liars.

 How about that sentence?

 "Everything" indicates Clinton and Gore are liars?
 The truth has never, ever  been spoken by them?
 Never, ever?
 Not even one time?
 Never?

 ha ha

 Pigboy speaks a true sentence at least once an hour,
 and we all know what kind of lying pig that bastard is.

 The American people deserve the truth.
 One day perhaps they will get it.

 Yeah, give us a Smirk administration and $60,000,000 with Harold Ickes
  leading the "independent" investigation and we'll show you some truth.
 

 Reader Alert: Anytime you see a column by this David Horowitz guy,
                         be sure and let me know about it.  He's fun!

 Hey, Laura...
 Remember that time you took off all your clothes

 Remember, Laura?

 That was cool!

 And remember how you posed in that doggie S&M collar so Ballance could
 record your sexual peccadillos for future generations to enjoy?
 And remember how you posed in front of the mirror like, ...how did you put it
 when Bill O'Reilly asked you about it..., "Like a Bottacelli?"
 Remember that, Laura?
 That was pretty cool, too!

 And remember how you posed with your legs spread wide apart like a goalpost?
 And he took your gaping picture and then later put the photos on the Internet
 so teenage boys all around the world could masturbate to the Grand Canyon?
 Remember that, Laura?

 ...that was awesome!
