Sadly, things are not well in the land of America today. David Geffen, a Hollywood Executive and long-time supporter and contributor to the Clintons said “Everybody in politics lies, but Bush does it with such ease, it’s troubling.” Senator Clinton has long denounced the politics of personal destruction and when asked what she thought of Geffen’s comments she stated, “Well, I have nothing but respect for the US military. I suppose David Geffen has an issue with how Bush is running the War, but it has nothing to do with my campaign.” James Carville, who would like to see a speedy end to the war, gave the same advice he gives all citizens of this country. In an on-camera interview, he said, “People should open their mouths and shut down this war.”
And sadly, things are not well in the land of Democrats today. David Geffen, a Hollywood Executive and former supporter to the Clintons and contributor to Barach Obama said, “Everybody in politics lies, but they [the Clintons] do it with such ease, it’s troubling.” Senator Obama has recently denounced slash-and-burn politics and when asked what she thought of Geffen’s comments he stated, “Well, I have nothing but respect for Senator Clinton. I suppose David Geffen has an issue with the Clintons, but it has nothing to do with my campaign.” James Carville, who would like to see a speedy end to the Obama campaign, gave the same advice he gives all citizens of this country. In an on-camera interview, he said, “Geffen should open his wallet and shut his mouth.”
Last Fall it came to light that Democrat congressman, William Jefferson, had $90,000 in stored in a refrigerator in his house with no tangible explanation where it came from. At the time, Nancy Pelosi had him removed from the Ways and Means Committee (WMC). “Hiding money in a complicated land deal is one thing, but..” she said, “Any congressman who has $90,000 stored in a refrigerator has a problem with this caucus.” Mr. Jefferson was apparently admired for his fund-raising prowess by his constituents in the great city of New Orleans and has been reelected. In a town known more for making money disappear into thin air, Mr. Jefferson finds, however, that Speaker Pelosi does not admire his ability to pull money from a hat, or even a refrigerator as the case may be. Pelosi has decided that since Mr. Jefferson cannot be trusted on the WMC, which controls vast sums and money and power, both of which Democrats crave to control as much as possible, he needs to be placed on a committee for which Democrats hold no esteem whatsoever. Now what committee would that be? The committee that oversees the dog-catchers union? No, unions are too important. How about the committee that oversees free trade. No, better not tick off the Chinese, their campaign donations may be needed again later. But of course, how about the committee for Homeland Security. What could be more insignificant to Democrats than that? Peter King, the ranking Republican has blown a gasket but Pelosi is defending her choice. “Mr. Jefferson has shown no inclination to use banks and who can better teach him the ins and outs of covert banking and money laundering than terrorists? Though he may never learn to hide payments for pardoning international arms dealer, or raise vast of campaign donations from impoverished Buddhists monks, he must at least make his bribes look like it’s the Republican’s fault.” When asked about Jefferson’s latest requisition for 52 refrigerators, Pelosi had no comment.
