Today, I tuned in to MoneyTalk long enough to hear Brinker addressing
the Microsoft anti-trust issue; it seems that Brinker agrees with Rush
Limbaugh and our own Captain Kirk. According to Brinker, Bill Gates
believed in the American Dream. For shame. With only three lobbyists
in his employ, he did not grease the palms of the political whores
in Washington. Now, they seek their pound of flesh. Brinker cited
the example of Loral CEO Bernie Schwartz, a long time Democrat
and friend of Bill, whose company allegedly sold highly sensitive
guided missile technology to Communist China against the protesta-
tions of the Department of State and the War Department. Bernie
Schwartz knew enough about the Washington game to give one
million dollars, by some accounts, to the Democrat party and to
Bill Clinton, who himself reportedly submitted Bernie's name as
candidate for Secretary of Defense. To wit, "Schwartz has dona-
ted almost $1 million to the Democrats in the past four years,
making him the party's top individual contributor... Republican
National Committee Chairman Jim Nicholson noted that Clinton
had, on three occasions, considered Schwartz for the job of
Defense Secretary," according to Reuters (21 May 1998).
To be sure, as Brinker noted, this is an extortive game played
by both political parties, though Clinton and his cabal seem
to have come the closest, since the late traitorous Aaron Burr,
in pushing the envelope, which envelope has the word "treason"
visibly emblazoned upon it.
As Brinker lamented, "Something must be done by the people....
one should not be able to buy outright government influence."
