“YOU F***ING JEW BASTARD!”
Hillary's startling embrace of Yasser Arafat s wife.
Do you think Slick included this bit’o’history in his doorstopper?
BOOK CHARGES: Hillary CALLED AIDE JEW BASTARD
DRUDGE REPORT
FRIDAY JULY 14, 2000 12:00:00 ET
Hillary Clinton has angered Jewish voters in New York and nationally with her controversial support of a Palestinian State, and her startling embrace of Yasser Arafat s wife.
…
Biographer Jerry Oppenheimer’s new book STATE OF A UNION: INSIDE THE COMPLEX MARRIAGE OF BILL AND Hillary CLINTON …
In one particularly shocking passage in the book, Oppenheimer quotes a campaign official who describes an angry attack by Hillary in which she screams at him, "You fucking Jew bastard!"
Two sourced eyewitnesses confirmed to Oppenheimer that they heard the verbal assault.
…
But, unfortunately, according to UNION, that was neither the first nor the last time Hillary had used such a slur. And there is a darker side to the story.
"I GOTTA GET BACK TO WORKIN' FOR THE PEOPLE"
How's this for a walk down memory lane: Does the name Pat Mendoza ring any bells?
"You suck, and those boys died!"
Mr. & Mrs. Mendoza who were present in the Chicago festival on July 2, 1996.
While the Mendozas relaxed at the gathering, they looked up and saw president Clinton walking into the crowd and attempting to shake hands with people there. As the president walked up to Mrs. Mendoza and pushed his hand towards her, she was repulsed and became angry.
Mrs. Mendoza did not feel it was appropriate for the president of the United States to impose himself on her and she had no intention of shaking his hand. Further, Mrs. Mendoza was upset over last month's bombing deaths of 19 U.S. airmen in Saudi Arabia. The president grasped her hand and she protested with words of protest.
SOUTHERN BOOB
Yo, ladies, ask me how much I care.
Slick’s book is still generating heat, although not the kind he had hoped for. Reviewers are not impressed, and the ladies are livid.
Gennifer:
"I have not yet read Mr Clinton's book but you can bet that my Judicial Watch attorneys will," Flowers said in a statement issued by Judicial Watch - a Washington-based conservative court and government watchdog.
"I have learned that Bill Clinton has repeated his lies about me and I am sickened by his continued disregard for the truth."
Monica:
"How would he feel if (Chelsea) was trashed by the person she had had the relationship with — a person who has denied it to save himself — if she was called a liar, a stalker, crazy, stupid?"
…
"But what I was hoping, and did expect, was for him to acknowledge and correct the inaccurate and false statements that he, his staff and the DNC (Democratic National Committee) made about me when they were trying to protect the presidency. His strategy to try and defeat (former special prosecutor) Ken Starr was to debase my character."
"In the process he destroyed me."
I haven’t read it, nor will I, but I understand that porno it ain’t. Who woulda thunk that Slick could make sex boring?
FROM KERRY WITH LOVE
Pat at Kerry Haters has a great blog:
Kerry Used by Vietnamese Communists in Anti-American Propaganda--THIS MONTH!
It's obvious that from the standpoint of the commies, Kerry's testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is the gift that just keeps on giving.
I'm going to put the whole article here, because the link has been busted before and I don't want to take the chance of losing this. Note: this article was published by the communist government of Vietnam.
FLY BUZZ
A FlyOnTheWall.com has some buzz on Our Governator Ahhnold: Ahhnold is certainly a better governor than Gray Davis, but then again a dead skunk in the middle of the road would be a better governor than Gray Davis.
Scroll down: She (he?) also reports that Demi will not remain demi for long as she’s preggers. That slovenly boytoy of hers is most likely the sperm donor.
PLUS, Jennifer Aniston supposedly has a Brad-Bun in her oven.
“I AM A JELLY DOUGHNUT”
Fact of the day
JFK today makes his famous 'Ich Bin Ein Berliner' speech today in 1963. Intended as an act of solidarity with the people of the once-divided city, the much-quoted phrase has now become infamous as an example of a political speech-writer's gaffe, since 'Berliner' is also German for...a doughnut.
Jelly doughnuts are called "Berliner" outside Berlin (but usually referred to as "Pfannkuchen" in Berlin itself). This has led some people to believe that the phrase Kennedy uttered was amusingly ambiguous ("I am a jelly doughnut"), which is, for the most part, incorrect.

A LUCID MOMENT
Extremism in the Defense of Lunacy is No Virtue
Guess who said this:
"The suffering inside Iraq can come to an end when Saddam Hussein's regime is replaced. And I hope -- and most of the world community hopes -- that this regime based on terrorism and atrocities against his own people will be replaced. Over time, we hope to achieve that result."
BLOGGIN’ GOOD
Thanks to Aaron at SomethingToCryAbout, I now know what the Red Line is of Tyler's blog RedLineRants: “For those outside the Beltway, the Red Line is the main subway artery.” (BTW, I still read that blog name as Red Liner Ants.)
Aaron also has a polling question: “What do you think most Americans' opinion will be of Fahrenheit 9-11?” Surf over and vote!
Check out Tyler’s “Speeches From a Nut” at RedLineRants.
And Pat may feel a bit under the weather, but you'd never know it from Kerry Haters!
SHACKLED BY CFR?
‘Fahrenheit 9/11’ ban?
Michael Moore may be prevented from advertising his controversial new movie, “Fahrenheit 9/11,” on television or radio after July 30 if the Federal Election Commission (FEC) today accepts the legal advice of its general counsel.
At the same time, a Republican-allied 527 soft-money group is preparing to file a complaint against Moore’s film with the FEC for violating campaign-finance law.
…
The proscription is broadly defined. Section 100.29 of the federal election regulations defines restricted corporate-funded ads as those that identify a candidate by his “name, nickname, photograph or drawing” or make it “otherwise apparent through an unambiguous reference.”
…
The FEC ruling may also affect promotion of a slew of other upcoming political documentaries and films, such as “Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War,” which opens in August, “The Corporation,” about democratic institutions being subsumed by the corporate agenda, or “Silver City,” a recently finished film by John Sayles that criticizes the Bush administration.
THE HIGH PRICE OF DISCLOSURE
Tortured Arguments
The good, if under-reported, news is that the pile of documents released by the Bush Administration this week effectively rebuts the charges of "torture" that have been flying around. While White House and Justice Department lawyers did explore the legal limits of permissible interrogation techniques--something it would have been irresponsible not to do after 9/11--it turns out that none of the practices actually authorized even comes close to the abuses depicted in the photos from Abu Ghraib prison.
The bad, and entirely ignored, news is that our most deadly enemies now know where the U.S. will draw the line should they fall into American hands.
…
Some of our media colleagues are painting the document release as insufficient, perhaps because they've been given nothing to support their innuendo that there was some kind of connection between the Geneva Convention status of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the incidents at Abu Ghraib.
ONCE, AT BAND CAMP
I have to hand it to John Podhoretz; he did try to read Slick’s doorstopper. I have no patience with such crap. To begin with, Slick’s a liar. He lies about the most trivial, insignificant things, so why should we believe anything he writes? However, John Podhoretz IS funny!
BILL'S BOOK A BIG BORE
By JOHN PODHORETZ
I'm also not an anti-Clinton obsessive. I think he degraded the presidency and that he didn't do enough about the growing threat of Islamic terrorism, but I also credit him with having done some wonderful things for the country and the world — winning passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement, preventing an economic meltdown through the judicious handling of the Mexican debt crisis, signing welfare reform into law and ousting the genocidal Slobodan Milosevic from power.
…
The experience was a little like being seated next to a cheerful, open-faced fellow on a long airplane flight who begins talking to you — and then never, ever, ever stops, not even when he has his Salisbury steak dinner in his mouth. He'll stop when you say you have to go to the restroom, then start right up again when you return, hopeless and terrified, to your seat.
THE TOURNEQUET REVIEW
Lonesome Love
Desperate to undo the damage of its first review -- Michiko Kakutani described Bill Clinton's book as "eye-crossingly dull" and "self-indulgent" -- the New York Times scrambled to post on its website a positive review of the book this week. The Times found for the task Larry McMurtry, a fiction writer, a spinner of tall tales like Lonesome Dove. In other words, a peer appropriate to Bill Clinton.
…
"I happen to like long, smart, dense narratives and read 'My Life' straight through, happily."
THE MEANING OF IS
"THE message from Clinton's core constituency was that he could do whatever he wanted to individual women as long as he continued to toe the liberal line on a handful of policy issues they deemed politically important, such as abortion. The victims of Clinton's unwanted advances and smear campaigns were treated like road-kill by so-called women's rights organizations" — Bob Barr in "The Meaning of Is: The Squandered Impeachment and Wasted Legacy of William Jefferson Clinton."
HELP COOL IT!
Yesterday, I posted something about Operation AC with no input from me. I heard about this on Rush yesterday, and, being short on time (not to mention vertically challenged as well), I didn’t have time to add any explanation. The story of Frankie Mayo, who started this non-profit charity, is posted on Rush:
In addition to everything else that our troops face from the remnants of Saddam's regime, they face the searing heat in Iraq. Temperatures on some days have been recorded as high as 130 degrees. And this story started typically and innocently enough. A housewife in Delaware named Frankie Mayo has a son who's in Iraq, and he wrote her a letter describing the searing heat, describing the temperatures and the practically inhumane conditions that they all face, so she sent him a single air-conditioner. And that one act of sending her son in Iraq an air-conditioner has now changed her life, because since that air-conditioner arrived, Frankie Mayo has been deluged with requests from other troops for air conditioners, so Frankie Mayo got in gear. And she organized OperationAC.com [Do not be confused by similar URLs] to provide air conditioners to as many soldiers as possible. She's a former systems engineer, so she did a feasibility study, and she got a little support from the Home Depot and others to get the units, the air conditioners packaged for shipment.
Read why the U.S. Post Office refuses to ship the air conditioners, and read how Frankie Mayo hopes to solve the problem. And while you're at Operation AC, be certain to check out the picture of Saddam, particularly what's in the window behind him.
siiiiiiiiigh …

SLICK’S G-SPOT
Flowers alerts lawyers on Clinton
"I have not yet read Mr Clinton's book but you can bet that my Judicial Watch attorneys will," Flowers said in a statement issued by Judicial Watch - a Washington-based conservative court and government watchdog.
"I have learned that Bill Clinton has repeated his lies about me and I am sickened by his continued disregard for the truth."

Michael Moore faces heat over methods
Michael Moore’s critics are turning up the temperature with a book and documentary intended to debunk his methods as the filmmaker’s “Fahrenheit 9/11” hits theaters.
…
On Tuesday, David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke will publish “Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man,” in which the authors accuse Moore of “serial mendacity.”
…
Filmmaker Michael Wilson hopes to have his documentary “Michael Moore Hates America” in theaters late this summer as a rebuttal to “Fahrenheit 9/11.” Wilson said he admired “Roger & Me” but found “Bowling for Columbine” troublesome.
…
Wilson, Hardy and Clarke, who say they are moderates with no political agenda against left-winger Moore, take a cue from Moore’s approach, aiming to package their criticism in satiric humor.
HELP COOL IT!
OPERATION AC:
A non-profit Delaware company operating on donations only, sends 110v single phase ice machines to our troops in Iraq as well as various basic items the soldiers request and desperately need.
.
"It is my hope that we make their existence in Iraq during their deployment as safe and as easy on them as possible given the job they are there to do. Rested Soldiers are more alert and able to perform their duty SAFELY!"

LIES, DAMNED LIES & REFUTATIONS
Funny.Best-Pictures.com
Like Tyrrell, I have always wondered why the Clintons lied … blatantly so! … even about the most trivial things. Many times the truth was not only preferable but easier for the public to stomach.
My Lies
By R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.
In their autobiographies the Clintons may have had to skirt the truth occasionally -- many life-long politicians do. But they often tell lies that did not have to be repeated, many of which have clearly been refuted by subsequent legal proceedings and by scholarly or journalistic research.
MATTRESS MAMBO #5
These aren’t the only women in Slick’s life.
According to Slick, it was just “A little bit of Monica in my life.” But what about Dolly? Sally? Connie? Juanita? Bobbie Ann? Eileen? Sandra? Christy? Lencola? Elizabeth? Susie? Kathleen? And those are just the ones whose identities slipped the surly bonds of his handlers.
The missing Clinton women
Bill Clinton calls his sexual encounters with White House intern Monica Lewinsky "immoral and foolish" and said his "relationship" with Gennifer Flowers was one he "should not have had." But in his autobiography flying out of bookstores, he doesn't mention several other women whose names were linked in scandal with his.
COME & GET IT!
For those who simply MUST know what Slick’s book contains without actually reading it …
The Condensed Bill Clinton
Want to read Bill Clinton's My Life without turning all 957 turgid pages? We can help! Slate's "Juicy Bits" team has constructed a reader's guide to Clinton's memoir, with handy jumps to Hillary, Chelsea, Ken Starr, Marc Rich, George Stephanopoulos, and Monica Lewinsky.
ALMS FOR THE POOR?
Right out of some Dickensian epic central casting comes John Kerry proposing a higher minimum wage.
The Wages of Politics
How many low-wage workers does John Kerry want to throw out of work?
…
The Labor Department believes that 1.5% of the work force, or 2.1 million people, earn $5.15 an hour or less. More than half of them are under the age of 25, meaning they are likely working a temporary or entry-level job. Three-fifths are in the leisure and hospitality industry, which means in jobs that often come with tips in addition to wages. Studies have also shown that most people earning the minimum wage are not poor--more than one-third live with a parent or relative. Only 15% are the sole breadwinner in a family with children.
…
If Mr. Kerry really wants to raise take-home pay, he could help raise American skills by challenging the catastrophe of inner-city public education. But that's politically hard; it's so much easier to pose as the champion of the poor and worry about the consequences later.
BACK TO BLOGGIN’
Nurse G and I returned yesterday from caring for my mother. We left very early Tuesday morning, in time to pick my mother up at the hospital when she was discharged. This was her 3rd surgery to remove cancerous “spots” … 6 stitches this time … and it doesn’t seem to get any easier. The worry is not so much the cancer, as the doctors completely remove the growths each time, but the recovery. The area is not the most “comfortable” area on the human body. So, our mission was to make certain she was comfortable, resting, taking her meds and noting the times, and fed before we had to head home Wednesday mid-afternoon. CO and Little H were anxiously awaiting G’s return, while I had dirty dishes, an unmade bed and three cats, all of whom greeted me with wherethehellhaveyoubeen. DogMan finally showed up. Thanks for all the well wishes; let’s hope she never has to go through this again.
Has it been 2 days? It feels longer. I’m slogging through e-mails and blogs and old online articles trying to catch up. Be patient!

TUESDAY …
My mother has had some surgery, so Nurse G and I will be caring for her. As a result, unless I find a wayward computer at her place, I won’t be posting on Tuesday. Never fear; I hope to be back by late afternoon Wednesday.
In the meantime, may I suggest: Kerry Haters; Crush Kerry; Something To Cry About; and ACE.
And while you're at it, pray for me as I think Nurse G will be driving, and for someone who weighs all of 100 lbs. dripping wet, she has one helluva lead foot!

DO YOU YUZU?
Yuzu: I've seen her in Detroit where she was on the arm of an Italian Balsamic prince. I've seen her at the new "Sirena" restaurant on South Beach, where her irresistible songs warmed the underbelly of a tuna's raw curves. I've consumed her and she enchanted me at home, though I plied her with honey and truffles and placed her underneath the zaftig opulence of a duck's breast first.
Apparently the Nuancy Boy has a yen for “her,” too.
PAT’S “TOUR OF DUTY”
Pat, at Kerry Haters, has been performing a valiant service. He has been engaged in heavy combat trying to slog through Douglas Brinkley’s “Tour of Duty : John Kerry and the Vietnam War.” For that alone, he deserves some sort of recognition. If Pat were in the U.S. armed forces, he would qualify for the Purple Heart, a medal awarded to a soldier who was “wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy.” Need I say more?
Check out 3 of Pat’s installments: here and here and here.

DÉJÀ VU
I will NEVER! forgive Clinton or his mongrel Reno for what they did to Elian. I keep this picture on my desk as a constant reminder of their evil, as if I even needed a reminder.
From NewsMax.com Newsletter:
Remember little Elian Gonzalez?
The former escapee from Cuba just might decide which party controls the U.S. Senate, thanks to a little unintended help from Al Gore.
Background: Gore promptly followed Insider Report's recent plea to keep talking crazy.
His bizarre attack on fellow Democrat Alex Penelas was so stunningly vicious even for America's most notorious "sore loserman" that Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., denounced the ex-veep's "slash-and-burn politics."
"Gore's remarks are death blow for Penelas' bid," the Miami Herald decreed.
That would suit Florida Republicans fine. They feared that if Miami's mayor won the nomination he'd take the crucial Cuban-American vote from the GOP nominee and grab a larger-than-usual share of the rest of the sizeable Latino electorate.
Also, the other two top Democrats in the race for the nomination are more radical and less likely to appeal to mainstream Florida.
Why the bad blood between Gore and Penelas?
It all goes back to Elian, who was shipped by Bill Clinton and Janet Reno back to dictator Fidel Castro's tropical gulag.
Cuban Americans' fury at the Clinton administration made Penelas reluctant to associate with Gore.
The failed former presidential candidate has never forgiven the mayor for skipping the party's national convention in 2000, avoiding Gore's final campaign appearances in south Florida and not abetting Gore's coup attempt during the messy recount.
There is no argument that a former 5-year-old Cuban refugee named Elian handed Florida and the White House to President Bush. The controversy over the little Cuban boy could now also influence which party runs the closely and bitterly divided U.S. Senate.
And, as we reported this past week, Sen. Nelson fretted that the controversy sparked by Gore over Elian could cost John Kerry the state and thus the White House.
Florida's poor Dems can rejoice in at least one thing: Disastrous former gubernatorial wannabe Reno isn't running for any office this year
JUSTICE BEING SERVED
Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona) is doing it RIGHT!!:
* He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.
* He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails.
* Took away their weights.
* Cut off all but "G" movies.
* He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects. Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued for discrimination.
* He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again but only let in the Disney channel and the weather channel. When asked why the weather channel he replied, so they will know how hot it's gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs.
* He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value.
* When the inmates complained, he told them.....this is a good one......"This isn't the Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."
* He bought Newt Gingrich's lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the jails. When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.
Thanks, LoanCat!

“BILL CLINTON … BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION.”
I had not planned on commenting, or posting, much of anything about Slick Willie’s “doorstopper” of a book … that is until I read the review in the NY Times. I don’t deny that Slick is intelligent and capable and for some, although not for me, a charming man. It has always amazed me how, with all that potential going for him, he simply blew away the chances (2 terms) of a lifetime. He could have been a Republican’s apocalyptic nightmare, yet he chose to become the dirty-joke president with an impeachment asterisk by his name, and all because he could. Wink wink, nod nod; know whadda mean?
The Pastiche of a Presidency, Imitating a Life, in 957 Pages
In many ways, the book is a mirror of Mr. Clinton's presidency: lack of discipline leading to squandered opportunities; high expectations, undermined by self-indulgence and scattered concentration. This memoir underscores many strengths of Mr. Clinton's eight years in the White House and his understanding that he was governing during a transitional and highly polarized period. But the very lack of focus and order that mars these pages also prevented him from summoning his energies in a sustained manner to bring his insights about the growing terror threat and an Israeli-Palestinian settlement to fruition.
…
Lies about sex and real estate, partisan rancor over "character issues" (not over weapons of mass destruction or pre-emptive war), psychobabble mea culpas, and tabloid wrangles over stained dresses all seem like pressing matters from another galaxy, far, far away.
Clinton still has 'heat' - but it's the Democrats who are getting burnt
By Mark Steyn
[A] cheesy Vegas lounge act … promoting his new range of Clintagra male performance products which enable middle-aged men to maintain erection for two full terms.
…
Say what you like, but, in the Clinton era, the only naked guy with women's panties on his head and a dog leash round his neck would have been the President breaking in the new intern pool.
***
Clinton wrote in his book: "Becoming a good person is a lifelong effort that requires letting go of anger at others and holding on to responsibility for the mistakes I've made,"
A visibly angry Slick and the object of his wrath.
Clinton rages against Dimbleby in Panorama confrontation over Lewinsky
His outrage at the line of questioning during the 50-minute interview, to be broadcast on Panorama on Tuesday night, lasts several minutes. It is the first time that the former President has been seen to lose his temper publicly over the issue of his sexual liaisons with Ms Lewinsky.
…
“As outbursts go, it is not just some flash that is over in an instant. It is something substantial and sustained.”
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DADDY
If I had a picture of my own father, one which I could post, I would. As it is, this shot of Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey will have to do. Actually, my own father resembled Stewart quite a bit: tall and thin with a mega-watt smile. My father was a professional photographer, a TV repairman and an electrician. He had served in the Royal Canadian Air Force and the US Army during WWII. He was also a drinker and a smoker, which is probably why I do neither. I had very little time with my father because my parents separated permanently when I was 8 and finally divorced when I was 16. By then it was evident that either the cigarettes or the alcohol would claim him. Smoking won; he was 49 and I was 18 and had been married just two days. Growing up without a father, I missed out on so much: I wanted to feel normal; I wanted to be daddy’s little girl; I wanted him to walk me down the aisle; I wanted him to bounce my children on his knee. My mother has been the most wonderful mother, the most caring person anyone could ever want, and yet there hasn’t been a single day that I don’t miss my dad.
I want to wish all the dads here a Happy Father’s Day. Mike has a lovely family. And Roberto, too (scroll down to see his 3 children). I don’t know about Pat (KerryHaters), but if you do have children, Happy Father’s Day to you, too, buddy!
