More great parody of the Clintonista propagandists!

Anyone that believes even a small percentage of that tripe is bound for a train wreck with reality in the coming months. That should be very interesting - especially when we find out that the Clinton gang did most of the leaking, both to damage Starr and to divert attention from the reality of his investigation. Effective in the short term, but won't work in the long run. (Remember, leaks are not in Starr's interest, they complicate and hinder his work.)

Btw, as someone pointed out earlier, Clinton makes billions off tobacco and his deal with tobacco would extend that dependency. That makes Starr's mere thousands pale.

Here's something they taught us in business school:

Remember when tobacco advertising was taken off TV? Bad for tobacco? Nope - just about the best thing that ever happened. Seems all those saved advertising dollars flowed to the bottom line - the only effect was that it froze market shares. Tobacco became more profitable than ever.

Clinton's deal with tobacco should likely prove just as lucrative - tobacco companies will be able to raise prices to offset their payoff to Clinton and the big government crowd while the companies add all those saved promotion $ to the bottom line. (Just as important and not to be overlooked - it's also a big winner for Clinton politically.)

And a decent bet as an (un)intended consequence:
Cigarettes' enhanced status as a "taboo" product actually augments its appeal to teens.
