assistant: Brings the total to 57 Clinton related deaths if I have been keeping
correct counts. There are trains, airplanes, and cars now involved.
What will be next, bicycles?  Why not mafia hits?  Everything points to
an organized crime syndicate what with Nathan Landow being friendly
with the Gotti family, and Nathon Landow's association with Owl Gump
and Dufus.

assistant: There are those, Jeff Duke among them, who are saying that there have
been far too many coincidences regarding FOBs dying. That statistically
it's almost impossible for that many people who knew Clinton, have been
involved in questionable dealings or have intimate knowledge of his
operations, to die "accidentally" or naturally.
I tend to agree with that premise. However, proving some nefarious
intent is a heck of a job. Look at how much trouble Ken Starr is having
with pinning the Unagroper down.

Write your reply.

assistant: A. If memory serves me correctly, and it does, Lawrence Walsh, late of
Ken Starr bashing fame, spent in excess of $100 million in Iran Contra
and didn't get diddly for all of his efforts. The most memorable event
was when he indicted Cap Weinberger four days before the 92 election
only to have the indictment thrown out for insufficiency.
And Mr. Walsh has the huevos to claim that Judge Starr's investigation
is partisan? There's a word for this and similar behavior. It's
Hypocrisy. And LIbEralS are very adept at hypocrisy.
B. There is some question, legally speaking, whether or not a sitting
President can be indicted.
I have a very simple soloution to Judge Starr's dilemma. Charge Hillary,
Nussbaum, Blumenthal, Williams (Maggie), et al. and name William
Jefferson Blythe Clinton as an unindicted coconspirator. Then turn the
entire mess over to Congress for impeachment proceedings.
As for Specter and others in the Senate urging "caution", at this
juncture, there appears to be sufficient evidence, however
circumstantial it may be, that would warrant an impeachment hearing. To
say that we shouldn't have a hearing unless ther is a "smoking gun" is
ridiculous. Criminal cases based upon far less circumstantial evidence
are filed each day in various courts throughout this country which
result in convictions.
What this amounts to is that the President apparrently IS above the law
if and ONLY if he or she is a LIbEral Democrat.
C. Starr is still conducting an investigation which is being hampered by
the White House refusing to timely (the key word) turn over subpoenaed
documents and provide oral testimony. The fact that the President is
invoking Executive Privilege every chance he gets, isn't helping this
investigation along. Yet the White House and the President, are
complaining that this investigation is taking too long.
What Chutzpah! What hypocrisy!

If by "intellectual" you mean people willing to agree with your
viewpoint and no one else's, then you certainly won't find
"intellectual" conversation here because we believe in our convictions
and are willing to discuss them and defend them.
We also agree to disagree as long as the "intellectual" discussions we
have are based on fact and well reasoned theories and not on hyperbole.
We also agree to respect diverging opinions, as long as the people who
disagree with us respect OUR positions as well.
You certainly don't fit the bill. Have a nice life somewhere else.
