Ted, Scumbria... Can you come up with any real reason why Clinton pardoned Marc Rich? Jim

Ted Re..The Reps and the media. Bingo... <<<<<<<No laws have been broken and yet he is hounded....why is that? <<<<<< Then why are the Feds in the eastern district headed by Mary Jo White (a democrat and a Clinton political appointee.) investigating the Rich pardon. They don't belong to the vast right wing conspiracy. Bill is being hounded now because the democrats have abandoned him. Bill is causing too much bad publicity, it is damaging the democratic party, and they are in the process of dumping him. If his fellow dem. would speak up for him, Bill could contain the damage. What you saw yesterday in the hearing was every democrat speak against the pardon. Last night on Geraldo, every guest spoke out against the pardon, including Geraldo. Two of the guests, Gerry Spence ( I believe a liberal lawyer for the Chicago 7) and Lanny Davis (former White house counsel for Clinton) in the past were adanamt Clinton backers. Spence was harsher on Bill than the 2 republican guests; he was the only one who declared it was the money. That is the type of publicity the dems themselves are spreading. <<<<<<<<<<Please go back and read what I posted again. TIA.<<<<<<<< Sure , here is that part of your post. Nonetheless, its gross how your party colleagues have hounded this man because he is flawed. Don't those a-holes have anything better to do? They are wasting my tax $$$ with their partisan bullshit. <<<<<< I assumed that the "its gross how your party have hounded this man" refers to the republican party and that man refers to slick Willy; and by saying "its gross" I assumed you disagreed the congressional investigations into slick Willy's flaws. If all of those assumptions are correct, why is it that you feel hounding or investigating GW's past flaws are perfectly fine, but looking into Bill's current flaws are gross? Bush will always be an alcoholic; albeit, a recovering one. There is no known cure for alcoholism. <<<<<<<< Alcoholism is a disease which can't be cured, but it can be controlled. When you say "albeit a recovering one" you admit that GW is controlling that flaw. And that begs the question Why hasn't Bill been able to control his flaws, and why are you making excuses; while attacking GW for flaws that GW has bought under control? If you have evidence that GW has become a drunk since the inauguration; provide it and I will join you in condemning GW for that flaw.. If Scumbria thinks GW still has a drug problem, he should provide a link, which show GW is indeed doing drugs now; and I will join you in condemning that flaw. Bill's flaws were done during and after his presidency, and he has shown no ability to control his flaws. Why do you degrade a man who can control his flaws, while advocating a man who you admit has ongoing flaws.
