Just wanted to drop in and say hello to the lovely and talented La Shawn. RaTHergate is a mirror of Watergate in one very important way. The press was relentless in taking down those responsible for Watergate and they were going to take it as high up the food chain as they could. In this round, some of their own are in the hot seat. The result being that they’ve done their level best to minimize the responsible parties. Taking this to the extreme, Bill Burkett faxed the forged docs to SeeBS and now he is being allowed to offer pathetic and inconsistant responses to the inquiries of the press. Power has it’s advantages.

Keep up the great work, La Shawn. God Bless.

Stan,
That stuff, I knew. When I said I didn’t study, I mean I haven’t gone wild in the library or otherwise spent tons of time on it. When I research, I research (notes, 3×5, Lexis Nexis, etc). One benefit of being one of those 4 hour a night sleepers is that I do a lot of reading

Wuzzy,
I just did a Google search. There was a good article on it last year. The woman who wrote it was on TV. None of this is a secret. It is interesting to trace S&K back to the founding of Yale. The Bushes and Walkers were involved early on. The influence of the members of the club on government, arms dealing, financing, espionage, etc. is astonishing. Sounds like some conspiracy theory but its not.
There is also some in Kevin Phillips “American Dynasty”, which some have scoffed at me for suggesting. But there is much in it that I found on the Internet. It is really scary. Its a good read that can be checked out. Most of it is taken out of public documents. Kerry is also Skull & Bones by the way. Everyone should at least check it out and then make what they will out of it. Chris probably knows more.

There’s a nice article in either the June or July issue of Vanity Fair that details both candidates involvement in the super secret organization at Yale.

Stan,
How about some suggested readings? Or some points to think on? Or do you just think I would find it a ripping good read? Please, share with the class.
Have you done any extensive independent research on the subject (I know, if you tell me too much mine won’t be independent anymore, but I am short on time lately. Election season is always rough)

Stan,
I have read about them, but not studied them. For the purposes of my joke I think I know enough to get by. Any particular reason for the question?

You didn’t miss anything glaring, but a little known fact is that Shrillary Clinton was attached to the Justice Department as a young lawyer, at that time, and worked long hard hours to bring down the Nixon administration. Maybe it is time our side got to be just as dedicated…or are we bloggers accomplishing that, since the MSM won’t?

Wuzzy,
Have you ever done extensive independent research on Skull & Bones?

Bingo!! It was Skulls and Bones that’s behind it all, I tells youse, by jingo!!.

Yeah, but it is OK when the left does it, since they are serving a higher truth, and their hearts are in the right place.
I still want to know how if Bush is an idiot, how he tricked John Kerry into voting for the war, and giving speaches in favor of the war. And how he got Clinton, Gore, Kerry and other lions of the left, to go on the record saying Saddam was a threat, in possesion or in pursuit of WMDs (and needing dealing with) before he even ran for office. Or how he knew the widowmaker plane he trained for years to fly would come out of service years before the Pentagon did.
Maybe it was Skull and Bones…

“Easter Island Statue Head” LOL

Good point about the FBI files. The Clintonistas just roll from one scandal to another simply because they believe that they must by any means necessary win. Well no more because the Pajamaheddin is here to stay. And that is the significance of rathergate. We won’t get fooled (or bamboozled) again.

Ah well…..

No, Rather’s idiotic follies don’t stack up to Watergate at present, though if one was able to incontrovertibly prove that Kerry’s band of boneheads were in on the fakes everyone would confuse Watergate with that horrid Kevin Costner movie forevermore (hat tip to Ali G).

Still and all, it’s pretty damn funny watching the one time King of ambush journalism get ambushed by a new technology he disdained and thought he could dismiss with one wave of his royal (in his mind, anyway) hand. Considering that ole Dan has been caught falsely claiming he was a Marine/did Marine training on a couple of occasions, I find it doubly funny that what took this pompous clown down was a story about military service. Ooooh, the delicious irony.

Hey, speaking of Presidential scandals, ridiculous liberal bias in the media and such….. does anyone but me still find it amazing that Clinton was caught in the White House with over 100 fbi files of potential political enemies during his first term (no, no abuse of power there), and was able to walk away by blaming some fourth tier flunky for it? This was a crime that dwarfed anything Nixon even thought about doing, and yet the lefty press dropped it after a week.

If the press had only done their job then, none of us would have been subjected to Monicagate and all the other ‘gates that heathen hillbilly brought down upon us all. Course if you think about it, Rathergate broke within days of Easter Island Statue Head hiring some of Clinton’s boys- suppose we might be able blame Slick Willie for this ‘gate too?
