June 27, 2000, Attorney General Janet Reno appeared with her puppet show, before Orrin Hatch's Senate Subcommittee hearing on the 1996 Campaign Finance Probe. This most corrupt Attorney General in the history of the United States did not disappoint her White House master, as her patented, yet with vibrato, version of LIE, DENY AND STICK TO IT was up to it's usual arrogant par. If you have forgotten what a good little democRAT Clinton robo-cronie, our shakey fingered dike hole filler is; review the thread of links starting here: Puppet of The Century? ( 6-23-2000 ) .
Obviously Republican Senator Arlen Specter was there, acting unduly upset with all aspects of Reno's handling, and in his opinion cover-up, of VPOTUS Al Gore's seemingly clear-cut illegalities during the 1996 campaign cycle. I won't rehash all the over argued phoney excuses for not investigating Gore's shinanigans, but once again, the Republican members of the committee were trying to stick to the facts and the Democrats were either spinning madly or doing the crooked defense lawyer routine ( something which comes quite natural to a vast majority of them ). Gore's panhandling appearence at the Hsi Lai Temple in California on April 29, 1996 was the main subject, though the old DIALING FOR DOLLARS FROM THE VPOTUS OFFICE AT THE WHITE HOUSE was not completely on the back burner.
Robert Torricelli ( D ), who seems to have really gotten down the old SMILE WHILE YOU LIE routine since being elected to the Senate, read a Bill Clinton style word parsing prepared speech worthy of the BEST OF WHITE HOUSE TALKING POINTS FAX MEMOS for both the laugh and sniff factors. I mean this was blatant baloney bordering on the smelly stuff, including multiple mentionings designed to illustrate a one-day-old's view of a Democrat Party fundraiser, like, " no tickets were sold " and " no campaign banners were displayed ". Man, this guy must really think we were all born the day before yesterday? He then swallowed an extremely large cup of chowder from the Janet Reno marching manequins and said, in reaction to Waco's sickeningly sweet, Heinrich Himmler-like continuing condescending arrogance, in not appointing an independent or special counsel, " Good for you...that is the way Attorney Generals ought to be "? This is the worst form of democRAT partisanism since the minority impeachment exhoneration conspiracy!
The Janet Reno solo defense robot puppet show amnesia act, included such over used excuses as to just why Gore didn't lie to a federal law enforcement officer ( Robert Conrad ) when he said during an official interview that the Buddhist temple event wasn't a fundraiser, " Are you expected to remember everything from every meeting attended "? When quizzed about the letter from Charles LaBella urging the appointment of a special investigator or counsel on the Gore involvement, she quipped, " Mister LaBella sent me a letter I will treasure ". Huh? This woman has really gone over the edge this time!
Don't look now, but you aren't getting any more investigations by this most corrupt administration in the history of the United States into anyone outside the GOP. Further, the First Philanderer, our liar-in-chief, has gone back on the ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE ME OR YOUR OWN LYING EYES attack circuit.
June 28, 2000 in the East Room of the White House, there was a CLINTON CATTLE CALL ( press conference for all liberal lemmings and left wing sheep ).
It is quite amazing to me how the spinmeister routine has morphed from just putting the best light on a bad situation to direct lying about the situation. Clinton was asked about Reno's decision not to appoint an independent investigator into Gore's campaign finance irregularities ( How could he keep from laughing? ), replying, " The Attorney General, ( repeating an old tired spunmeister phrase ) who has no reluctance to appoint one, has made her decision ". Now wasn't that one original? But wait, there's more. The inhabitant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue started to get on a haughty arrogant roll, declaring, " A lot of these so-called scandals are bogus "! He then launched into a tirade featuring a monolog about Hazel O'Leary and Mike Espy and how, " we had totally innocent people prosecuted because they wouldn't lie "? Seemingly unaware that even the most left wing of the assembled reporters wasn't buying this pre-Lewinsky apology arrogance, he thought he could wag the dog in their faces and seemingly threaten his perceived enemies at the same time on national cable television with, " This drama has several more acts before it's over ". Keeping his personal arrogance at the MEIN FUHRER level, he gave Al Gore the campaigner-in-chief's proud endorsement, " Nobody has ever done any more as Al Gore as Vice President " ( He must have been remembering the great emcee job Gore did in the Rose Garden at: Clinton Throws Impeachment Party? ( 12-21-98 ) ? ) .
The only thing any good that happened was THE FISHERMAN WHO CAUGHT A LITTLE CUBAN BOY FINALLY HAD TO THROW HIM BACK BECAUSE HE WAS TOO SMALL?
