Well Party we have no credible charges remaining denied by the President Bush but the first impeached rapist now claims he never even lied. Again you use the term thief because of an article questioning the Supreme Court Decision that as the Recounts just keep showing SORE LOST LOST LOST LOST as was correctly determined by the law, the mandatory recount. A simple rule is that when you chose a door you cannot chose another door. Stupid Gore chose the door of delaying certification and creating an impossible time line for a legal protest manual recount. Stupid Gore did not know as democrat's think in games not in facts that he had lost. Stupid Gore suckered all his democrat stupid buddies to go along with his stupid notions.

Duuuuhhhhhhh Gores recount gives Bush more votes. Duuuhhhhh The Los Angeles Times can only see Gore as the ruler and thus they also don't know how to measure facts worth a damn.

When simplistic individuals, what I call vacant liberal minds post over and over attack against my hororable decent President Bush I use words to convey the depravity of actions of he who I call Pig Vomit the impeached first rapist who denies all. I use these words to put the issue of individual's honesty in perspective.

ya see it's all clear according to mathew. in chap 23

Ye blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within they are full of rapine and intemperance. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and the dish, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whited sepulchres, which outwardly indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. So ye likewise outwardly appear righteous to men, but within are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye testify against yourselves, that ye are the sons of them who killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. Ye serpents, ye brood of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye will kill and crucify; and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues,. and persecute from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say to you, All these, things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,. that killest the prophets, and stonest them who were sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a bird gathereth her young under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say to you, Ye shall not see me from this time, till ye say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

I see those who attack Ascroft as just the sort who would give Christ the opportunity to show what true love is.

>>>Well, you may call Clinton the names that you do<<<

well, after reading this article, I am REALLY rolling all over the floor laughing my ass off. Do you "get" it yet?

________________________________________________________

At least one if not several Congressional committees are expected to delve into Roger Clinton's requests as well the $400,000 fee received by Hugh Rodham, the lawyer brother of former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites), from the families of two men he represented who did receive clemency.

One of the men was a convicted California cocaine dealer with a politically active father who had his 15 year sentence commuted by Clinton to six years, the time he already served.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White's office has begun a criminal probe into the ex-president's pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich and his partner Pincus Green, the most controversial of the actions Clinton took on Jan. 20, his last day in office. Rich's former wife Denise donated more than $1 million to Democratic causes and $450,000 to help build Clinton's proposed presidential library.

Clinton's pardon meant that Rich, who fled to Switzerland 17 years ago, will not face prosecution on more than 50 counts of racketeering, wire fraud, income tax evasion and illegal oil trading with Iran.

Adding to the Clintons' woes, White's office reportedly was examining Clinton's decision to grant four Hasidic men clemency for stealing millions from the federal government. Their Hasidic community of New Square, N.Y. went almost unanimously for Mrs. Clinton for senator in November while two neighboring Hasidic communities went for her Republican opponent.

Roger Clinton, who lives in the L.A. suburb of Torrance, told the Los Angeles Times that he was surprised to learn that Hugh Rodham took money. ``I'm in shock. I had no clue. I had no clue. But I do know one thing: Hugh is a great guy and we all are human, and people should let it go once he's corrected it,'' by returning the money.

Rodham returned the funds after both his sister and his brother-in-law criticized him for taking it.

ABC News reported on Friday that the Florida Bar Association would soon begin a preliminary investigation into whether Hugh Rodham violated ethics standards when he accepted money for his efforts to obtain the pardons.

In Washington, Rodham's lawyer responded to the report, saying neither she nor her client had been advised of any such investigation. ``I would be very surprised if such an investigation was undertaken, given that there was no ethical violation,'' attorney Nancy Luque told Reuters.

The Los Angeles Times said that the House Government Reform Committee (news - web sites) sent Roger Clinton a letter asking for detailed information about his work on behalf of anyone for presidential clemency. The letter also stated that the committee ``had received reports that you were involved in representing individuals seeking pardons from President Clinton.

But Roger Clinton, who himself received a pardon from his bother for drug offenses in the 1980s, said he was only innocently trying to help friends. ``I didn't foresee what was going to happen,'' he told the paper.

Meanwhile Hillary Clinton (news - web sites)'s campaign treasurer on Friday defended his actions in representing two men pardoned for tax evasion by former president Clinton.

New York attorney William Cunningham told a news conference he did nothing wrong in helping Robert Fain and James Manning.

Cunningham, who helped Clinton win her senate race, told a news conference he did not speak to Sen. Clinton or her husband about his clients, who were convicted of tax evasion in 1982.

``This work ... really had nothing to do with my role as treasurer for Sen. Clinton's campaign,'' said Cunningham, responding to a barrage of questions about whether he thought his relationship with Sen. Clinton had influenced the president's decision.

``In the light of day, I see no actual conflict and no apparent conflict,'' he said.

Cunningham said he was paid a little over $4,000 to help draw up the pardon paperwork and then send it through the normal channels through the Justice Department (news - web sites), with copies to the White House.

The cases were referred to him by his law partner, Clinton adviser Harold Ickes, who Cunningham said was approached by television producer and Clinton friend Harry Thomason to help the two men.

In a statement issued by his lawyer, Thomason said he was pleased to recommend the pardons of Fain and Manning to Clinton and added that her never received a penny for doing so.

Sen. Clinton on Thursday defended Cunningham at a Capitol Hill news conference but expressed shock about her brother's role in the other pardons.
