So I'm reading an article yesterday on how idictments are still coming down on people associated with Bill "What's Your Sign" and Hillary "Who Am I Today" Clinton. It seems that at one of their last little goodbye parties (translated moneythons) a convicted Colombian drug Lord donated sizable chunks of dough and was seen chatting up both of the esteemed guest of honor. When confronted with the fact Mrs. Clinton slipped into deny mode and used this excuse that left me sobbing on the floor:
"Clinton advisers say that Mrs. Clinton's campaign had no idea about Mr. Paul's troubled past until after the gala - and that Mr. Paul was involved only because of his association with a successful Internet company he started with the co-creator of Spider-Man, Stan Lee, who was listed as one of the co-hosts of the event. One Clinton adviser described Mr. Lee as "an American icon."
NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Stan Lee, my idol, the man who made "with great power comes great responsiblity" a household phrase!
This is like Captain America planning a retirement party for the Kingpin with Doc Ock...
The Fantasic Four throwing a get well party for Doctor Doom with the Puppetmaster...
Spider-man throwing a baby-shower for the Green Goblin and Gwen Stacy with Venom.
Stan, Stan, Stan.

A few things
(1) the fundraiser took place in 2000, so way to be topical. I guess there are still articles being published about this non-news (as per a Feb. 8th NY Times article - registration required to read it tho). The fact that it is still getting play does not reflect that this is important news, but as the article says, it "shows the continuing effort of a longtime nemesis of the Clintons, Judicial Watch, a conservative legal group, to make legal trouble for the couple."
(2) You may refer to Paul as a "a convicted Colombian drug Lord" but here is how he is described by USA Today:
"Paul, 55, was a successful Miami attorney and civic leader when he was convicted in 1979 of cocaine possession and a plot to swindle the Cuban government of $8.75 million. He served 30 months in federal prison and was suspended from practicing law." Here's a much more detailed account of the trouble this con-man caused for Stan from 2002, but sadly, no Clinton bashing is involved so you might not be interested.
(3) It's also noted that this con-man had ties to Ronald Reagan, Muhammad Ali, and Jimmy Stewart. i.e. he's a slick criminal knows how to work people.
If you are really serious about calling politicians on their "deny mode" and shady financial practices, I would think you could find much more outrageous practices (read BILLIONS of dollars) and bigger lies looking at news items from the past year than having to go back five years for a lame dig at a lame duck like Clinton.
So Ronald Reagan, Muhammad Ali, and Jimmy Stewart are crooked too!
And nice use of neutral news sources, their almost as reliable as Judical Watch.
Just a quick reminder: Blogs are no place for the politically uptight.
Jimmy Stewart is a liberal pink and he stole my lunch money! Pass it on.
