Marc Rich’s Friends Are Suddenly
Silent
by Joe Conason
Excerpt:
Ron Burkle, a California billionaire who gave
10 times as much to every Clinton fund and
campaign as Ms. Rich did, was turned down when
he requested a pardon for his friend Michael Milken.
Mr. Burkle promised a minimum of $5 million to
the Clinton library, compared with the $450,000 given
by Ms. Rich. He and members of his family have
given hundreds of thousands of dollars to every conceivable
Democratic campaign, including Mrs. Clinton’s
Senate race. Mr. Burkle and other well-heeled,
Clinton-connected advocates passionately argued
the Milken case, but they didn’t prevail on Jan. 20.
Editor's Note:
If I remember correctly, Joe Conason started out blasting this
pardon,
but seems to have softened his resistance in recent weeks.
Someone sent me a URL to take a poll from John Zogby (R-Results For
Sale)
It was the most slanted poll I've ever taken.
Should the great and honest Smirk get his way?
Or should those evil tax-and-spend Democrats throw the money at the
negroes?
Are all pollsters this crooked?
Or is Zogby in a "class" of his own?
On last weeks West Wing, Donna asked Josh why they were paying for a
poll
when they had other polls and Josh said, "We asked different questions."
Koresh, I hope so.
John Zogby is a whore.
Need results? Call John Zogby.
Your candidate behind by seven?
Hire Zogby, then go on TV and say,
"Our most recent polls show we've closed the gap and are taking the
lead."

President-for-Life Bill Clinton
By Jack Shafer
George W. Bush may live in the White House, but Bill Clinton is still the president.
According to Howard Kurtz's findings, the network
evening newscasts aired 18 pieces on Clinton and
only 14 about Bush between Feb. 12 and Feb. 15.
Between Feb. 12 and Feb. 16, the Washington Post
published four Page One pieces on each of the
presidents while the New York Times ran four Page One
stories on Clinton and only two on Bush.
President-for-Life Clinton maintained his media
lead yesterday, Monday, Feb. 19, as NBC Nightly News ran a
piece about his pardon of Marc Rich. Over on
ABC's World News Tonight, a verbal slip by Peter Jennings
telegraphed his feelings that news hog Clinton
has gotten too pushy. In reporting a Gallup Poll about Americans'
favorite presidents, the suave frostback newsreader
reported, "Ronald Reagan came first, followed by JFK
and Abraham Lincoln, and Bill Clinton was forced--fourth."
Bush made all three newscasts with dutiful stories
about his dedication of the Oklahoma City memorial
museum and one CBS Evening News piece about the
estate tax.
Over on the print side, the Feb. 19 New York Times
published one Page One story about the
Clinton pardon, and the Washington Post published
one Page One about Bush and the Iraqis.
If we standardize Kurtz's methodology to include
the Friday, Feb. 16, network news broadcasts
(but exclude all weekend coverage), we arrive
at these running coverage totals:
Clinton:
29 prominent stories
Bush:
25 prominent stories
Stupid Political Quotes
Bill Clinton abused his power and brought
disgrace to the White House
with his last-minute pardon of fugitive
Marc Rich.
-- Jimmy Carter
Jimmy Carter was never known for being the
sharpest knife in the drawer.
When Carter says something this stupid,
he's saying he knows MORE
about the January 20, 2001 political situation
in Israel than:
Prime Minister Ehud Barak,
Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami,
Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Ohlmert,
former Mossad chief Shabtai Shavit,
Abraham Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai B'rith, and
Rabbi Irving Greenberg, chairman of the
US Holocaust Memorial Council.
He's also saying he knows more about the
January 20th American political situation
than the man leaving the presidency the
day the pardons were issued.
Let's run thru a quick list, since it's
in my hand:
Barney Frank denounced Clinton's action
as “a real betrayal.”
Rush Feingold, friend to John Ashcroft,
“appalled
by the connection between the pardon and the soft money.”
Richard Durbin condemned “the appearance
of impropriety.”
Chuck Schumer said Clinton's action “makes
a mockery” of the criminal justice system.
If these people have something to say, why
the fuck don't they say it?
If there's something here, why are they
afraid to say it out loud?
Did their polling people tell them this
was a slick move to make?
If Jimmy Carter or anybody else has a legitimate
reason why we should believe them,
why won't they say so?
I wish Jimmy Carter would explain himself.
I wish he would explain how he knows
what Clinton knows.
I kinda doubt that Carter was listening
when Clinton talked to Barak.
Not that he can be trusted, but Dick Morris
said Clinton already has $125 million for his library.
If that's true, would the "slickest con-artist
and biggest liar of all time" sellout his country and squander
his legacy for a PLEDGE for half-a-million
more?
Is Clinton that stupid?
A line he used in his NYWT op-ed piece -
"David Geffen will barely speak to me because
I refused to pardon Leonard Peltiere."
If Clinton was one-tenth as evil
and corrupt as his own party now paints him,
why wouldn't he take the easier pardons
for the greater amount of cash?
I'll tell you why:
Let's assign an outrage value to the pardon
of Marc Rich.
Let's say that pardon is a "9" on the outrage
scale.
OK, now let's assign an outrage value to
the second-most outrageous pardon, whomever that might be.
Let's say the "Smith" pardon was only a
"7" on the outrage scale.
I submit, had the Rich pardon not been granted,
the American whore press would've elevated
the Smith "7" pardon to "9" status so they
could have an excuse to keep Clinton in the news.
If you throw out every pardon except Patty
Hearst, the whore press would have to elevate
Patty Hearst to "biggest criminal in all
history" to fabricate this faux-outrage story
You know what theory answers every question?
Clinton did what he thought was right,
and damn the consequences.
...but you can't sell any newspapers with that theory.
You can't run wild on Fox Whore News
week after week with that theory.
You can't run wild on Meet the Whore

"Gov. Jesse Ventura's office is now requiring

This is too good to be true.
If I was governor, those passes would say, "Salacious

The pass also says that the governor's office
'reserves the right to revoke this credential for any
reason.' The credentials and the press release
accompanying them do not specify under what
circumstances credentials would be revoked or
denied," the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Sub Sonar Detected Japan Boat
Sonar Operator Admits Distraction

Scandal over Marc Rich pardon:
Big money politics and right-wing provocation
by Patrick Martin
Excerpt:
The television networks have given saturation
coverage to the case. According to a study by the
Center for Media and Public Affairs, the network
coverage of the ex-president's affairs has been
comparable to that provided to all the actions,
appointments and statements of his successor.
The most Clinton-obsessed TV network, NBC, actually
ran more stories on Clinton than on
Bush during the first 25 days of the new administration.
AND
Cheney himself could become the subject of such
a probe, since there are reports that Halliburton,
the giant oil services company he headed for
five years, carried out operations in Iran which may
be illegal under US law.

You rule! I can't wait for your page to update

I'm so sick and tired of the Repub hypocrites

telling us to get over it (the election), while
they're still trying to stick it to Bill.
It's getting to the point that I can't watch

I have to wait for your site to get my "honest"

I don't want to get over it. I'm mad as hell and

I can't stand that smirky thief and his 30 second

be a Woodward / Bernstein

too much money now and
are afraid of taking a risk.
The story should be how the media laid down and
died at Snippy's feet.
Isn't the conflict of interest by three members
of the US Supreme Court
a bigger story than a pardon to someone who means
squat to the US in the
total picture? Where's the outrage by the media
over Smirk's right wing
agenda and appointees while he clearly has no
mandate and campaigned on
that "uniter" bullshit. And just what the f...
is a compassionate
conservative anyway? Someone who slides the needle
in gently in a Texas
deathhouse?
This moron kept referring to his record in Texas.
Remember? "Check my record in Texas."
Like he barely made the top 50 in every meaningful
category!
How did this idiot get more than his own vote?
Where was our overpaid fourth estate on this

I guess it comes down to money.
The media is competing for advertising bucks
and big business controls those bucks.
It appears they've made a good investment in
Smirk / Big Time.
How utterly depressing for America.
I'm so depressed I could go do that gun thing
in a closet. Where do I get a gun?
Do you think I could pry that one out of Chuck's

Not that I'm an expert but the Navy investigation

I have no doubt there'll be a coverup, but at

The same thing happens when a military jet crashes.
I like seeing Snippy in hot water but from
what I hear, civilians are on Navy ships every day of the week
and I doubt we're going to find any civilian
responsible for this, unless the Captain was serving coffee and
krumpets when he should have been looking at
sonar readings. The Captain will resign in disgrace in any case
and it'll all be forgotten. It is extremely doubtful
that a civilian leaned on or pulled the wrong level and sent
the sub rushing to the surface.
My bet is that the Captain was being a bigshot
loudmouth and ignoring his duties. I don't understand
how sonar missed it. I was stationed on a destroyer
for 2 years and we saw everything around for miles.
Maybe they weren't pinging to simulate war conditions,
but you would think that when they went to
periscope height they would aslo use the sonar
as part of the safety regulations.
Somebody fucked up.

Subject: Facts Bush Didn't Mention
Tuesday, when Bush made his statement to the media
about the arrest of an
FBI agent for espionage, he spoke of that as
a betrayal of faith.
He did not state the fact that his theft of the
election, with the assist
of a lawless, subversive US SC majority was a
betrayal of faith.
Nor did he mention that the lie that the Clintons
stole silverware and furniture from
the White House would have been, had it been
true, inconsequential to Bush's theft
of the entire White house, Executive Branch,
and five-ninths of the Judicial branch.
Nor did he mention that Biggest Villain of All
Times March Rich--second, of course,
to the Clintons--had dealings with at least on
of the TX oil civilians on the Greeneville,
which submarine killed 9, including 4 teenagers.
He didn't even state that stealing the election,
contrary to Constitution and rule of law,
was and continues to be a betrayal of everything
the US stands for and prides itself in being.
Last but not least, he did not state that, because
a Christian with a good heart, who therefore
cannot bear false witness, he will immediately
resign, turn himself in for arrest, prosecution,
and sentencing, and allow the elected president,
Al Gore, take his rightful place in the White House.

Subject: Guests on the Sub
I know it's easy to blame the visitors for the sub's accident but it just ain't so.
I have a friend who was an officer on an attack
sub and, a few years ago, I was invited
aboard for "family/friends" day. We left San
Diego, drove out to sea for twenty miles on the surface,
and then dove. I was offered the opportunity
to drive the boat (there are two stations--one for the
stern planes and one for the rudder/bow planes).
While sitting at the control station I was under
the direct supervision of the seaman who normally
drives the boat. He hovered over me. Each of
the two seamen (one for each station) is in turn watched
by an officer as well. If I had so much changed
course or depth angle by as much as one degree, the seaman
would have taken control of the boat. It was
like when you were a little boy and your daddy put you in his lap
and let you drive the car into the garage--with
his hands right on top of yours.
The captain of the ship may have screwed up but
it wasn't the fault of the guests on board.
They aren't given any opportunity to screw up.
Just thought you'd want to know.

Lewis, it might be just like you say.
But with 9 dead, shouldn't we get the facts?
It might not be the fault of the visitors.
It might not be the fault of the Commander.
Let's get them under oath and find out what really happened.
If the truth is important when it comes to Clinton's "terribly-important
sexual affairs,"
maybe the truth is important when nine people die.
The White House shouldn't mind us knowing the truth,
unless they have something really ugly that needs to remain hidden.
