Scumbria, I appreciate your help in looking it up. But after I posted the quote, one could assume that the search was over and that I had found the information I was looking for, but in a different place. I apologize for thinking that your subsequent post that you still couldn't find it was not posted with good intentions. Really, I do.
However, the tree comment was an honest question. I do not think three trees are the equivalent of a human life. Do you?
I also do not believe in the mythical VRWC theory. If anything, I think the right wing is not going far enough in seeking out justice.

THE SCURRY OF LITTLE RAT FEET ---- GLUB-GLUB-GLUB-GLUB
By: Carole Ward
Listen…. it’s the sound of Democrats fleeing the rising waters on the Good-Ship-Bill-n-Hill. Forget lifeboats. Their crew spurned even swim lessons, preferring instead to redefine their "problem" as a "minor leak - nothing serious", even as they list in 50ft seas of condemnation. The Sidwell Friends branch of the DNC has now tethered itself to the mast, while the St Albans wing busies themselves drilling additional holes in the starboard bow. A weary Carville says, "you can’t pick your relatives", and Terry McAuliffe chooses "not focusing on the negative", even as they flee the bridge.
David Gergen does not help Democrats find the bottom in this free-fall, by developing the Hugh-Done-It defense on national news, dismissing other odiferous pardons-for-sale as an "unfortunate moral blind spot" in BC. And we know double agent Andrew Sullivan has been cruising the bowels of the switch hitters in the VLWC, when, wiping the feces from his lower lip, he opines that BC "could be" deliberately sabotaging Hillary’s Senate career.
Enough already! This twaddle is insulting our intelligence. They been pissin on our heads and tellin us it’s raining since 1992. The Clintons WERE and ARE a remorseless, murderous, criminal enterprise who made their way through the ranks of the Democratic Party by displaying a talent for delivering "the goods" to the collectivist rag-tags, misfits, and biological errors of the left. The First Grifters are folk heroes to the haters of our traditional society. They fleeced the country and the treasury, with, and for our enemies, and carted off whatever wasn’t nailed down when they left. Clintonoids spent over half a trillion dollars of our money on junkets to develop "trade" for their crooked friends and virtual money launderers. I know it. You know it. He, she, and it know it. As do we, you, and they.
Still, Gloria Borger feigns newfound shock and dismay. Ditto for lawn jockey, Bryant Gumball. [you stick a quarter in him and he opens wide]. The most awful offal, however, came from the Nation’s Katrina vanden-gold Huevel-stein [or some such], who informed us that the "whole system is awash in money", and that "money for favors" is another reason for campaign finance reform. Yeah, let’s make it a crime for Bill or Hill to take money for favors. "Stop me before I’m bribed again."
[Has anyone noticed an annoying habit by Van-gold-Heuvel-stein and House Minority Counsel Julian Epstein when they are in front of a camera? ----Part of their packaged apologia, are embarrassingly contrived poses. They suck their cheeks between their teeth while they wait their turn to speak. [you know…like Maria Shriver] I thought regulars in a visual medium would be more media savvy than to look so stupid. A modicum of self- awareness usually confines those contortions of face and tummy to the privacy of a bathroom mirror.] But I always digress…
SO. Okay…. Bill and Hillary sold government policy and pardons. Anyone think that’s the worst of it? Hah! There are bodies buried from Arkansas to Croatia to the Sudan. And I haven’t heard a peep about the costs of keeping those bodies buried. Blackmail has and will continue to be a factor in the Bilk Linton legacy. When Roger Clinton "suggests" pardons for his friends, he doesn’t have to threaten his brother. Roger was relatively quiet the last eight years. And quiet can keep you alive and prosperous. Ditto for Jack Quinn, David Kendall, Nate Landow, Bruce Lindsey, James Lee Witt, the Digenova/Toensing tag team, and all the others who never showed up on my radar.
What about all the men and women who know the truth of TWA 800? BC needs to fear the allies who did this as well as those who dutifully covered it up. And the Waco debacle? --the price of a ski accident for an investigating House member? The Arkansas tainted blood sale? Then there are those 17 [or is it now 20] dead bodyguards? The list is long. I think they pretty much ran out of methods to extinguish liabilities. How many plane crashes and self inflicted gun shot wounds can one administration explain? They developed some good methodology there for a while with accidental gangland killings and auto accidents, but hell, there are just too many players. Their team is now out of power, and without the machinery of government to buy silence and erase enemies, their all-weather vessel is now adrift and taking on water.
What is the going price for a dead ground crew in Croatia? And how about Bettie Currie’s brother? He did NOT die quickly or on the first try. Danny Williams’s mom? Or the OKC sting? The hit on Dr. Chumley’s plane? OKC police officer Terrance Yeakey? All those BATF employees told NOT to come to work? The Elohim/Strassmeir connection? The TV crew who heard even the OK governor tell of the "other" bombs [plural]? $1.6 million in hush money to bomb residue specialist Frederic Whitehurst who blew the whistle on the "evidence" against McVeigh? Then there is that ongoing problem of those resolute gumshoes for the murdered boys at Mena.
None of these problems are going away. There are too many victims. Too many bodies. Too much money has changed hands. And more money will continue to change hands if Dems are going to continue the charade of the American presidency under BC. The price is too high and there is too much cash to be made telling the REAL story, should one live to tell. This taxpayer is weary of insidious Dems and their noble causes, empowered by feeble Gopers who, in the name of "national security", helped obscure the villainy of Clintonism, for the sake of "world opinion" and "overseas markets".
Leadership on all sides, including Wall Street, preferred to look the other way for 8 years while the most enterprising, rapacious, and nefarious fiends to ever operate the machinery of government looted the treasury to reward friends and supporters. They co- opted the DOJ and the FBI to destroy opponents, witnesses, and liabilities, and run interference for crime family members. The military bombed aspirin factories to change the headlines and the IRS conducted nuisance audits to bankrupt foes. DO NOT TELL ME Louis Freeh and career Justice attorneys were not privy to this. And don’t tell me the new IRS commissioner doesn’t know who conducted the jihads against noisy conservatives and libertarians.
This American is also thoroughly galled that when GOPers finally tendered a Boy Scout to oust this bunch, they chose the all-hat- and-no-cattle Ken Starr, who, rather than perform the necessary exorcism, chose instead to charge them with sexual misconduct on public property. The United States of America has operated like Mugabe’s Zimbabwe for the last eight years, with even the good guys participating in the lawlessness and cover-ups, so that we could maintain an illusion of propriety. To what end? We have demonstrated to the enemies of our experiment in liberty that we are as corrupt as they, but with more missiles. THAT IN ITSELF is grounds for impeachment for every government employee within the Washington beltway. We should be convening firing squads for anyone who took a paycheck for journalism since 1992.
Now comes the endearing Shrub, with condolences and impotent shrugs. He’s chosen to paint his butt white and run with the rest of the antelope, even though the chief operating officer and CEO of the United States is obliged to clean up this mess AND fully prosecute the gang, now that the system has been purged. Or has it? Is EVERYBODY so dirty, so compromised, and fearful of exposure that mutually assured destruction maintains the continuing depraved and downward spiral?
Surely, you ask, the editorial boards at the New York Times and Washington Post have an interest in the return of authentic virtue and nobility of purpose for America. Ahh - but there is the rub. They have a larger stake in denying power to their philosophical foes, than in crafting a virtuous America. They wish to be saved, but not by the party of Reagan. Bush and Cheney know what needs to be done, but the 2% majority who control the news and television industry would surely demolish the efforts to cleanse the country. See, Larry King, Geraldo Rivera, and Mort Zuckerman want to live in a principled and esteemed republic, but not at the expense of defiling the reputations of their allies. They will further despoil my country rather than reveal the malevolence of their own. They cannot and will not risk absolute control over public opinion and the tax dollars necessary to advance the collectivist dreams of the State, Israeli brand Apartheid, Palestinian genocide, and virtual, tax-free citizenship for selected gentry of the left.
Perhaps we’re fresh out of heroes. Government is a dirty business attracting dirty people. It’s written about by news organizations that are filthier still. These folks aren’t just the bottoms of the barrel; they’re the dirt the barrel is sittin in. And cleaning it up is like teaching a pig to sing. It’s wastes your time and annoys the pig.
So screw em. Cheat em. Ignore em if you can. Rearrange your life to make it harder for them to monitor and track you to keep you a dutiful slave. I intend to serve out my time runnin my mouth, keeping my money, and never missing an opportunity to defile and defame the diseased membership that is and will continue to be American government, AND the [you-know-who’s] in the media.
---fuck em.
