Yes, a very good way of putting it! Even if the worst allegations were not true, we know enough to know that he is too small for the job...

WHO OWNSBILL CLINTON? By: Phil Brennan Ether Zone Online Who owns Bill Clinton? Is it the Chinese Communists -- (oops, I mean "Our valued trading partners")? Or James Riady? Or perhaps the trial lawyers of America? Or maybe the Gay & Lesbian Alliance? Or Big Oil? Or the military-industrial complex? Or the huge abortion industry? Or the angry tomboys in NOW? The answer is "All Of The Above." The only interest group in America who doesn't own a piece of William Jefferson Blythe a/k/a Clinton are the American people - you, me, all of us who aren't on the make and willing and able to pay for our share of the goodies Billy boy has at his disposal. The Chinese bought a piece of Mr. Clinton way back when he was on the road to Washington, and their man, Indonesia's James Riady, helped to smooth the way to the White House with miles of greenback paving stones. For a long while they got more than they paid for - tons of top secret technology, the ownership of countless US-based industries and businesses, both ends of the Panama Canal, and God only knows what else. The thugs in charge of China's military industrial complex, and everything else in that huge slave labor camp, must now, however, be wondering how much it costs to keep him bought. After all those mountains of greenbacks it cost to buy him, they suddenly learn that Clinton does not always stay bought. They have only to look at the smoking ruins of their embassy in Belgrade to appreciate this unpleasant fact. They shouldn't be too upset over Clinton's apparent resignation as their man in Washington, however. After all, there isn't much more he can do for them that he hasn't already done (except maybe turn over the deed to the White House - an investment that could be profitable if they took up Clinton's business of nightly rental of the Lincoln bedroom). Then there's James Riady. He - or his Chinese partners - paid through the nose for a long time - financing Bill Clinton's campaigns hasn't been cheap. But his Indonesian partners can't be very happy about the way big Clinton supporters such as the sinister George Soros deliberately torched their nation's financial house of cards. The rest of those holding shares in Clinton Enterprises, however, have no complaints - they've been getting what they paid for. Take those dedicated protectors of the poor and downtrodden members of the growing army of class action litigators - the Trial Lawyers of America. Their investment in Clinton, Inc. has paid enormous dividends. Their worst nightmare, tort reform, has been held at bay despite support of the majority of thinking Americans, most of whom are enraged by the cynical misuse of the nation's legal system for the benefit of a cohort of super-rich ambulance chasers (remember the tragedy of Littleton? Before many of the victims has been prepared for burial their survivors were being besieged by these vultures promising big settlements). Bill Clinton's administration has used the power of federal regulatory agencies - and the Clinton-supporting so-called public interest lobbies - to create numberless opportunities for so-called public interest litigation (the kind that resulted in bankrupting Dow-Corning - a major US company - using now-discredited junk science as their weapon). And then there is the Gay & Lesbian Alliance. They began to get their money's worth the first week of the new Clinton administration when Bill came forth with his Don't Ask-Don't tell program. And he's been their golden boy ever since, even to the extent of issuing proclamations recognizing their celebratory occasions. Big Oil? The multi-national oil and gas combines just got an enormous benefit for supporting Clinton - his "bombing for barrels" Kosovo adventure, revealed in this week's Cover Story, was worth every penny of campaign contributions and support they've ponied up. It was the big payoff. And craftily disguised as a humanitarian exercise, instead of the cynical geopolitical power grab it was. Needless to say, those shareholders from the military -industrial complex Ike warned us about, have profited handsomely, first through their dealings with China's military, and then in providing the hardware required of NATO's newest members as their price of admission to the alliance, and now, in the ordnance used to bomb Yugoslavia back to the stone age and in the multi-billion dollar rearming we now face having depleted our armory to danger levels. Buy defense industry stock and share in the bonanza the big boys earned for supporting Clinton - the most corrupt president in America's history. The amazons at NOW and their feminist extremist allies, have seen some of their greatest dreams come true thanks to their unwavering support of this serial abuser of women and alleged rapist. And to their delight, he has take up their support of abortion, even to refusing to ban the grisly practice of partial birth abortion. Too bad the average American couldn't afford to buy a piece of the crock, but we do have a consolation - Bill Clinton is going to give us all sorts of goodies - free prescriptions, for example. But it's a poor bargain - in return for benefiting from his lavish spending social programs, we'll get stuck with the bill as the price of being stuck with Bill. etherzone.com Posted for discussion and educational purposes only.
