Dog And Pony Show uspolitics.miningco.com Dateline: 12/09/98 "The great mass of people . . . will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one." Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), German dictator. Mein Kampf, vol. 1, ch. 10 (1925). The first day of the Dog and Pony Show, known as "Clinton's Defense", began on Tuesday. Since there has never been a valid defense to the charges against William Jefferson Clinton presented, it surprised no one that his legal coterie presented no factual rebuttal this time either. Instead, they continued haranguing the messenger, attacking the proceedings, and insisting that Darling Bill should not be impeached. (After all - everybody loves the Bill!) [If you happen to be of a different opinon, don't get violent, get even on the Bulletin Boards!] To prop up their arguments, they drug to the tables several "panels" of retired officials from the Carter and Johnson Administrations, along with other has beens, such as Elizabeth Holtzman. Holtzman was the darling of the Feminists during the 60's and 70's and her main claim to fame was sitting on the Democratic House Impeachment Panel for Richard Nixon. She now floats from talking head show to talking head show, telling everyone how it ought to be, since that's the way it really was. Unfortunately for Ms. Holtzman, there are certified records which dispute her current version of events of the previous impeachment proceedings. Nevertheless, she insists she is an expert that should be listened to, even though her position at the time of Watergate was found lacking and she was outvoted handily. There were, of course, several elderly law professors from throughout the country. Being a law professor this past year has become a most prolific profession - since it wins one a spot on any talk show in the land, not to speak of the numerous Congressional hearings. Ah well! Every profession has its day, it seems! Clinton's legal team freely admitted that Clinton lied and his behavior was very bad. They now seem to be bent on insisting that such things as perjury and obstruction of justice just simply don't rise to impeachment because it's all so personal. Never mind that all of us have been drug through the mire in the daily news ad nauseum. Still, they insist, he didn't screw the country - he only screwed Monica! Last week, we explained how Bill Clinton had literally saved the day by uniting and fortifying the Republican determination to impeach his sorry butt when he stuck his arrogant finger in their eye with his continuing lies in his "81 Answers To Admissions". Thanks Bill, they needed that! After the hearings got going, it became apparent that Clinton's folks had released their 184 page Legal response to the media, but had failed to give the Committee their required courtesy copy. Needless to say, the Chairman and others were not amused by such oversights. GOP members of the panel kept asking them if they had any evidence to offer the committee. They wanted to see something that might refute the thousands of pages of evidence that have been brought before the Committee. Alas, the only "evidence" they have is how terribly mean everyone is to poor little Billy. Brothers and Sisters, it's enough to make you lose a perfectly good day of eating. But stay tuned! There's more. They'll be parading out some more opinion sayers on Wednesday. They're intent on convincing us all that committing a series of felonies is an ok thing for the Big Guy. After all - he's the prez. If it starts to really get you down, just stop and think how much worse it could get! They're threatening to get him to apologize again. And there ain't a corpuscle amongst us that can live through that! Then there's the Toesucker…

You guessed wrong again softcash. I do not come from the "far right". For example, while I am personally opposed to abortion and I personally believe it is murder, I think it is also folly for the government to try to regulate it. It is simply too personal and divisive an issue. We must change the culture and develop a broad concensus that abortion is an evil which must be stopped. Likewise, although I have served my country I do not believe and can not support anti-flag burning amendments to the Constitution. I believe this would impinge on the most sacred of our freedoms, our freedom of speech. I am a patriot, who served his country though not even called (I volunteered) and cannot stand the lying, perjuring, office abusing, perjury suborning, justice obstructing, pervert who currently sullies the Oval Office and the Presidency. As for loving myself, I do not know how you reach such a conclusion since you know absolutely NOTHING about me. You are correct in that I sign everyone of my posts with my initials. How that translates into loving myself is probably best explained by individuals who would defend a perjurer in our highest office. JLA PS Drop dead, a##hol#
