CHCH News - Jamie's Memos; Sandy's Briefs

Whatever they don't steal, they destroy. They leave a trail of debris wherever they've been. And through all the mess, they continually, almost pathologically, lie and lie - and all the while calling attention to themselves.

No, it's not the neighbors' disturbed kids. It's not the latest hip-hop group topping the charts. It's not even the UN delegation from Trashcanistan, expelled from yet another hotel.

No, it's the kleptocrats exiled from that administration headed by the Ex-Perpetrator, Bill Clinton. Whether it's Sandy Berger using classified notes as codpiece material; Jamie Gorelick indignantly berating the standing Attorney General for policies that both knew originated with herself; whether it's the latest exiled political appointee with a "whistleblower" book telling a far-different tale than had he told at public inquests scant months ago...

...it all returns to The Effort. The Campaign. The Creation Of A Legacy. The replacement of Bill Clinton, impeached President and unindicted perjurer and vandal, with Bill Clinton, A Man Of Vision And Patron Of Peace.

The problem, for the Clinton lackeys assigned this unappetizing duty, is that the facts as recorded don't support the ordained conclusion.

This is a large part of the reason for the weird accusations and soundbytes of the post-September 11 era. The wild accusations that Bush Knew! while all the while castigating him for acting on what EVERYONE, including Clinton, knew about Iraq.

This is the reason behind Dick Clarke's here-is-the-real-Truth-and-disregard-everything-I've-said-before novel. It's the reason for Jamie Gorelick's presence on the 9-11 Commission, in spite of her obvious involvement as a player...and the reason for her concealment of her role.

And, these crude efforts falling flat, the Clinton camp has resorted to even clumsier methods: Samuel "Sandy" Berger stuffing his drawers with high-level classified notes and documents of interest to the 9-11 Commission...and to serious historians of the buildup of events.

He called it a "mistake." Quite the understatement, that. His defenders said "sloppy" - but it wasn't clear whether they were referring to his judgment, his attempt at revising history...or to the notes themselves once removed from their fetid location.

George Neumayr of The American Spectator makes a strong case for the similarity of missing smegma-encrusted documents, to other skullduggery typical and constant of the Clinton years. He writes:

"During the Clinton years, you could always count on a report about something missing, from laptops White House interns lifted to computers and documents untraceable at vital agencies. After the State Department lost a computer once, the Clinton administration explained it away merely as an official forgetting to close a door to a "secure" conference room. When White House officials walked off with hundreds of thousands of dollars of presidential souvenirs from Air Force One at the end of Clinton's term, that was explained away as precedent. When a spy placed an eavesdropping device in the State Department, that too was an accidental oversight. Apparently he just walked through the front door. The FBI reported after the incident that its officials had seen a Russian spy loitering near the Foggy Bottom entrance."

So you see, in the world of Clinton, there's nothing uncommon or askance about a man jamming top-secret original documents into his boxers - just as there's nothing uncommon about bodies popping up in one's trail or women appearing out of nowhere claiming rape or injury.

What's unusual about this, is that it's a continuation of the steady-stream of "mistakes" - long after the "mistakers" are out of official power. Even the Credit Mobilier and Teapot Dome scandals ended with the departures of Grant and Harding. The Clinton-induced turmoil seems to have a life almost of its own.

But it can be stopped. By stopping one person.

This trail of mischief from a no-longer-relevant administration will stop only when the self-centered butthead who's at the heart of it is stopped. Clinton has culpability for crime on many levels - from the juvenile destruction in the Executive Offices; to the accepting of illegal campaign money from the Chinese government; to perjury before a grand jury, and a hundred other behaviors.

He needs to be brought up on charges. It matters not which one; it doesn't even matter if he's convicted. He needs to get it through his self-centered awareness that America and Americans of mainstream values...have hadit.
