"I think he (Clinton) is an honest person....I think the fact that someone
has told a lie, even a big lie or maybe several big lies over a lifetime,
does not
mean that they're an inherently dishonest person."
-Dan Rather reaffirming his original statement of last year on the Don Imus
Show.
W reacts to being called "Julius Caesar" by Ted "I'm Off My Meds" Turner
Bonnie and Clyde Wallowing in Greed: Now, how could this not be the
first
item of the day? Yesterday's congressional hearings into the Great Clinton
Gift Heist revealed a total of $400,000 worth of goodies were taken upon
their shameful departure. (One telling tidbit the investigation did not
reveal was that the famous Monica beret was in a box from designer Donna
Karan sent to Chelsea.) A Clinton staffer says these revelations are the
work
of the VRW. Perhaps, but can anyone come up with a time the VRW hasn't told
the truth about the Clinton's criminal behavior? That's what they are for.
What can one say about the hubris of it all except to remark on
how pathetic and needy
these two are? Here New York Times is forced to take note. Count
the times they use the word "Republican."
Get The Hook: There should be a nationwide number to dial for
Loony On The Loose
alerts. We could have used it for Ted Turner after his speech at Brown
U. the other night. Now he says he was quoted out of context. Would anyone
listen to this manic-depressive nut case if he didn't have a billion
dollars?
On The Road To Damascus: Overnight, both Gore and Daschle have seen
the
light of good versus the Axis of Evil and
agreed with Bush.
If this keeps up
none of us will have anything to write about. Here's Allie's acceptance:
And,
The Dash Man's
retreat:
The Little Item That Could: Squirreled half way down in Al Kamen's
Washington Post column this morning is
this interesting tidbit.
A relatively
minor Clinton fundraiser is in tax trouble for not reporting a gift from
Charlie Trie - remember him? Federal prosecutors investigating Clinton
fundraising misdeeds are willing to cut some slack for info.
Go know there was such a thing! They are probably VRW federal prosecutors
but hope spring eternal.
And, for another infuriating
funny money scooplette,
check out Michelle
Malkin's column.
Simplisme This! Up for some delicious Frog bashing?
Check out Michael Kelly's column this morning. His larger point is Big Boy
thinking for Big Boy minds.
We seldom swear but........
damn he's good.
Telegraphing His Shot: We liked the matter-of-factness
of this Knight-Ridder headline. We picture W waking up, slapping his
forehead
and saying, "That's it!
I've made up my mind.
I've decided to overthrow
Hussein."
