assistant: Robert, being a hypocrite is a prerequisite for being a LIbEral, didn't you
know. It's part of the job description.
After all, how can one constantly lie about the facts and justify it in
their own mind?
Speaking of the hypocrite's hypocrite, Mr. Walsh, it's just begining to
come out in the mainstream media, via Chris Matthews of CNBC's Harball,
that Mr. Walsh lives in a glass house and shouldn't be throwing stones.
After all, he indicted Caspar Weinberger the Friday before the 1992
Presidential Election only to have that indictment thrown out shortly after
the election. Not to mention the incessant leakage from his grand jury
investigating Iran-Contra. And let's not forget that Mr. Walsh dragged Mrs.
North, Ollie's attorney, and his pastor, before the gran jury. Thereby
trashing the husband/wife; attorney/client; and priest/pennentant <sp?>
privileged communications. And he has the chutzpah to criticize Starr.
Guess he's suffering from selective memory loss.
But other than that, I guess he's got the right to criticize Ken Starr. I
just don't take him seriously.
