If Wallace has integrity remind me to turn my conscience back into God!
"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
All right, all right.... I didn't say "a lot" of integrity.
Given the sick history of 60 Minutes as a propaganda tool of the Democrat party, I certainly don't want to go overboard.

What an eye-opener.
"Sample" is a little misleading-when I see the word sample I think of somehting rather small-I think calling him a huge pile of steaming stool or a massive quantity thereof probably better describes him.
I have always respected Louis Freeh. He's a faithful Catholic, I believe with Opus Dei affiliations, and he's a real professional. When he accepted the FBI directorship under clinton he took on an impossible job.
I believe the reason he didn't just resign in protest at some of the things he was ordered to do was that he knew clinton would appoint someone far worse in his place, a real clintonoid scum who would be happy to do whatever the boss asked. Clinton couldn't afford to fire him because he had already fired one FBI director for political reasons. Firing two would have been pretty controversial, despite the media's willingness to cover for him.
I think Clinton was one of the most dangerous men ever to hold The Office of President. If you recall "trial ballons were being floated" as to whether or not the American people would tolerate this man running for a third term; notwithstanding the Constitutional prohibition against such an act. This guy was really thinking about it!
Amen to that!
| "If Bill Clinton had been a virgin, he would still have been the most immoral president in this country's history. In exchange for illegal campaign contributions from the government of China, he allowed the Chinese to buy American technology, which now makes them capable of hitting American cities with nuclear missiles." -- Dr. Thomas Sowell, HERE |
| "The Clinton administration's legacy may be that it restarted the Cold War just to perpetuate itself in office. [Thanks to Clinton] the Chinese now have everything they need [in nuclear weaponry and missile guidance technology] to make the world an unsafer place." -- Cal Thomas |
| See Chip Bok's "Clinton at the Bank of China Drive Thru" cartoon HERE. |
| "My characterization of Bill Clinton is that he is the most successfuI adolescent I have ever known. ... I have known Bill Clinton a long time and spent a lot of time with him, more than I wanted to. I have never been able to accept Bill Clinton as a mature, responsible adult." -- retiring House Majority Leader Dick Armey to Chris Matthews on the "Hardball College Tour" at George Mason University 9-25-2002 |
| "I found myself marveling at Mr. Clinton's thinking, which in the short term was savvy and in the long term spoke of a kind of moral retardation." -- Peggy Noonan |
| "When you walk into the presidency as a fully formed adult your first thought is, 'What should I do first and how and when?' When you walk into it with more vanity than sense, more hunger than purpose, your first thought is of what history will say of you. ... Mr. Clinton spent all his time thinking about his legacy, and by the end he had one: He was the president who spent his time thinking about his legacy -- while Osama made his plans. He wasted history's time." -- Peggy Noonan in The Wall Street Journal and HERE. |
| “Aside from scandals and investigations, [former FBI Director Louis] Freeh says Clinton let down the American people and the families of victims of the 1996 Khobar Towers terror attack in Saudi Arabia. “After promising to bring to justice those responsible for the bombing that killed 19 and injured hundreds, Freeh says Clinton refused to personally ask Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah to allow the FBI to question bombing suspects the kingdom had in custody — the only way the bureau could secure the interviews, according to Freeh. “Freeh writes in the book [My FBI], 'Bill Clinton raised the subject only to tell the crown prince that he understood the Saudis’ reluctance to cooperate and then he hit Abdullah up for a contribution to the Clinton Presidential Library.' ” -- 60 Minutes, Oct. 6, 2005 |
| Interview On Orange TV 7-15-2003: Rep. Dana Rohrabacher: "We didn't need to have 9-11. 9-11 happened because during the last administration Mr. Clinton didn't do his job. I was just talking to an ambassador from Sudan who tried to give us all of the records on bin Laden. He had all of the details of the entire terrorist network, and Madeleine Albright and Bill Clinton personally turned it down -- wouldn't even let the FBI copy them!" Rep. Tom Feeney: "In fairness, they were busy building nuclear plants for North Korea." Rep. Rohrabacher: "Right. Precisely." |
| "Remember, Osama Bin Laden was offered to the United States on a silver platter and the Clinton administration said no." -- Neal Boortz, HERE and: "A former CIA official told NBC News last week that [Clinton] White House orders to spare Bin Laden's life cut the chances of getting him in half. Once again, they viewed terrorism as a law enforcement problem, worrying about Bin Laden's rights instead of just unleashing the CIA to exterminate him." -- 3-25-04 HERE |
| "I've been to Sudan. And I was in Khartoum and met with some of the higher-ranking people with the Sudanese government. They told me personally – I had heard that before – that they actually offered [him] up to the Clinton administration – that is, Osama bin Laden – if they wanted him." -- Sen. Richard Shelby of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to Chris Matthews 7-22-04 |
| "At the time, 1996, [OBL] had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America." -- W.J.Clinton as quoted by Mansoor Ijaz in an editorial in the Los Angeles Times Dec 5, 2001 |
| "No president did more to ignore the mounting threat of Islamic terrorism than did Bill Clinton, and 3,000 people paid for his policies with their lives." -- Neal Boortz, 8-10-2005 |
| "The Clinton impeachment wasn’t about sex. It was about perjury, obstruction of justice, and an attempt by the nation’s number one elected official to deny a woman a day in court under a law that he signed!" -- Neal Boortz, 2-3-2001 |
| "Clinton still doesn't get it. Just because most of us didn't want to see him convicted doesn't mean we all minded his being impeached. And it certainly doesn't mean we maintained any respect we might have had for him." -- Bert Rand |
| "Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool." -- Paul Begala, personal aide and confidant of Bill Clinton, giddily advocating and enabling dictatorship in America (of which Clinton's putrid Executive Order 13083 was only an insidious part). |
| "The President has kept all of the promises he intended to keep." -- Clinton aide George Stephanopolous on Larry King Live |
| "We could give [YOUR money] all back to you and hope you spend it right. But I think -- here's the problem: If you don't spend it right, here's what's going to happen ... [Social Security might go bankrupt in 13 years, etc., etc.]" -- W. J. Clinton in Buffalo, NY, 1-20-99 |
| "... It seemed to me emblematic of the Clinton White House, a place where opponents' FBI files were read aloud over pizza and foreign contributors with cash invited in the back door. ... Mr. Clinton's problem, his real sin--a fundamental lack of respect for his country, for its citizens, for his colleagues, for all of us. ... I believe he demonstrated that people and principles are, to him, objects to be manipulated." -- Peggy Noonan in The Wall Street Journal HERE. |
| "Clinton is not the worst president the republic has had, but he is the worst person ever to have been president." -- George Will, Jan. 12, 2001 |
| "Bill Clinton is like PigPen. A cloud of dirt just follows him around wherever he goes." -- Time Magazine political correspondentJames Carney on Charlie Rose 2-22-2001 |
| “The problem was with Bill Clinton -- the scandals and the rumored scandals, the incubating ones and the dying ones never ended. Whatever moral compass the president was consulting was leading him in the wrong direction. His closets were full of skeletons just waiting to burst out.” -- Louis Freeh,My FBI |
| "A Capitol Hill police officer was ordered to inform the Clintons that everyone was ready and waiting [for the 1993 inaugural festivities]. The policeman knocked and opened the door of the holding room. He immediately shut it, beating a hasty retreat. Hillary Clinton was screaming at her husband in what was described as 'uncontrolled and unbridled fury.' ... The Capitol Hill police and the Secret Service quickly conferred about intervening if it appeared the president's life might be threatened by the first lady!" -- former FBI Special Agent Gary Aldrich, Unlimited Access |
| On November 24, 2001 former DEMOCRATIC congressional aide Chris Matthews told former DEMOCRATIC congressional aide Tim Russert (AND his nationwide TV audience) on MSNBC that former DEMOCRATIC pollster Pat Caddell had said, "The Clintons -- they're 'white trash,' and I can say that because I'm from Florida." |
| "...Clinton had contact with Coia no fewer than 120 times...[FBI] investigators doing a background check wrote, 'Coia is a criminal associate of the New England Patriarca organized crime family'." -- Linda Chavez, 6-16-2004 |
| "This is not to say that Clinton will leave no legacy. He will. He will leave a legacy of unprecedented corruption of all the fundamental institutions of government." -- Thomas Sowell, 1-19-2001 |
| "Bill Clinton is, without question, the most amoral, corrupt, dishonest and dangerous man ever to serve as president. FDR was just as dangerous perhaps … but not as corrupt. And he was reported to have a semblance of a moral code. The people who put this cretin into office have struck a blow more severe than any enemy has been able to strike with guns in the past 225 years." -- Neal Boortz in Nealz Nuze July 11, 2000 |
| "It's like having the Caligula Legacy Project." -- Ann Coulter, referring to the "Clinton Legacy Project" on CNN's Crossfire, 12-26-2001 |

| " 'Bill Clinton never lied to me' is one of those statements that polygraph operators could use as a benchmark of a certain lie." -- Tony Blankley, 6-11-2003 |
| From The Don Imus Show with Chris Matthews visiting on Nov. 1, 2001, the day Matthews’ book, Now, Let Me Tell You What I Really Think, was released: Matthews: “...all he did was use up all his political capital to get Marc Rich off. I don’t get it.” Imus: “I think what’s missing is he’s morally and ethically corrupt. And he’s the dictionary definition of a sociopath. I mean, going around biting his lip and mouthing ‘I love you’ to that hideous woman he’s married to, and I mean, he’s a sickening individual, and he’s a phony. So...” Matthews: “So tell me what you really think.” |
| "When people like Peter Lightner started to blow the whistle on the transfer of technology to China in the mid-'90s, and said, 'This is wrong; my reports are being changed.' What was the response? It was to isolate him, to basically come down hard. I know; I was a member of the Cox Committee and for 7 months sat behind closed doors with the FBI and the CIA and saw all the evidence. ... [intelligence analysts, who are hard to recruit and train,] have to have the confidence that, when they make a judgment or an assessment, that they're not going to have their head chopped off. I could give you a litany of people who had their heads chopped off ... career destroyed ... who did the politically incorrect thing when they were doing their job as best they could professionally and in the end paid the price because they basically crossed hairs with elected politicians who didn't like what they had to say. ... We've allowed the technology transfer to places like China, where they have massive high-speed computers as a result of some presidential decisions on exports back in '96, that they didn't have prior to that. You know, originally we were told those high-performance computers in the 8-10,000M top range and above would only go to their academic institutions. Well, surprise, surprise! Where do we find them today? At their weapons labs! Helping them miniaturize their nuclear warheads. Helping them develop a whole new element of the PLA, focusing on cyber-warfare." -- Rep. Curt Weldon, speaking before the Heritage Foundation, May 23, 2002, recordedHERE. |
| Maybe Clinton Should have Prospectively Pardoned Himself A federal grand jury now is investigating whether there were direct links between Bill Clinton’s good buddy, Marc Rich, and Saddam Hussein. Hmm. Maybe “60 Minutes” will do a big expose on this story. On the other hand, maybe they’re having snowball fights in hell right about now… -- Jayson Javits, Dec. 17, 2004 |
| "Hitch [Christopher Hitchens] was absolutely right ... to expose Bill Clinton for the negligent charlatan he was." -- Andrew Sullivan |
| "Bill ran after me, tackled me, threw me to the floor of the kitchen in the mansion and cocked his fist back to punch me." -- Dick Morris |
| "He's the all-time self-indulgent vindictive pig." -- Neal Boortz, 1-27-2001 |
| "Billy Graham is a great man. He bears within him deep reservoirs of sweetness, and the reservoirs often overflow. It was embarrassing to see America's two most famous political grifters [the Clintons] plop themselves in the first row dressed in telegenic silk and allow themselves to become the focus of sweet words they knew would come. "Why did they feel it right to inject a partisan political component into a spiritual event [Billy Graham's last crusade in New York]? Why take advantage of the good nature and generosity of an old hero? Why, after spending their entire adulthoods in public life, have they not developed or at least learned to imitate simple class?" -- Peggy Noonan |
| "Read this to reinforce that feeling you have that Bill Clinton was a dishonest, corrupt, lying sleaze-bag. http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110003549 " -- Neal Boortz, 5-28-2003 |
| "Yesterday we learn that Clinton has delivered a letter to the Supreme Court resigning [as an attorney eligible to argue before the Supreme Court]. Yes, he resigned … resigned rather than being disbarred. No appeal. No arguments. Just submission. He tucks his tail between his legs and slouches off. "Just more of the sleazy legacy of the most corrupt, most dishonest president in our history." -- Neal Boortz, 11-14-2001 |
Clinton couldn't let Mr. Freeh go -- that wouldn't have gone the way of the Travel Office firings as far as public opinion was concerned.
There would have been the obvious appearance of obstructing an official investigation(s), the result of which would have made Watergate look like a picnic.
Mr. Freeh couldn't resign with what he knew; that was what President Clinton was counting on. If he had resigned, Clinton's minions would have controlled every aspect of the enforcement arm of the federal goverment, which would have given him near absolute power.
He already had the Justice Department at his disposal -- the FBI would have been a real coup against the people.
Oh, yeah there were so much stuff about Foster, like the suicide note in the briefcase, and remember Linda Tripp actually testified about something that happened in the hours either before or after Foster's death. There were rumors that the suicide happened in the White House and his body had been moved to the park.
That this was run on 60 minutes shows how much trouble exists in the Democratic party. The folks at 60 minutes wouldn't do this unless they weren't all behind Hitlery in '08.
Hilarious! When you're no longer able to launch a million dollar missile to hit a camel in the butt, you have to settle for launching a verbal missile in Ladies Home Journal.
Let me see. The Director of the FBI is informing the public that the President of the United States is shaking down foreign leaders for personal gratuities. This is the story of the century. Where is it on the airwaves?
