The Barrett report
The Washington Times ^ | January 31, 2007 | Mark Goodman

Posted on 01/31/2007 4:15:14 PM PST by neverdem

The bell has just rung on the 2008 presidential sweepstakes and already more entries have crowded into the gates than the American grandstand can count, much less account for. That's all to the good, as the only winners over the past two decades have been named either Bush or Clinton. Still, since nothing less than the fate of the nation seems to be at stake, it is imperative that all candidates be measured...

--snip--


    Deeply frustrated by nine seasons of blockading by Clinton lawyers and Democratic congressmen, Mr. Barrett issued a statement saying, "An accurate title for the report would be, 'What We Were Prevented from Investigating.' " What, indeed. In an online column written before he signed on as President Bush's press secretary, Tony Snow reported that by all accounts the redacted pages contained enough damning evidence to sink Mrs. Clinton's presidential ship.

--snip--


    I can personally vouch for the Clinton-IRS strategy. In 2002, after I had learned of Mr. Clinton's intrusion into the case I had reported to the IRS, I informed Mrs. Clinton of the facts I'd uncovered. Soon enough the IRS came calling with unwarranted tax demands and threats of criminal investigation. I replied accusing the IRS of conspiring with the Clintons and the media conglomerate to perpetrate "institutionalized terrorism." The agency, finally grasping the irony that it was seeking to punish its own whistleblower, quickly backed off.

--snip--


    Now that the senator from New York has announced "I'm in to win," voters should demand that their representatives release the mystery pages so that they may examine Mrs. Clinton red in tooth. Otherwise, Americans run the risk of going to the polls in 2008 seeking the rebirth of a nation only to discover that they have merely traded the devil for a witch.

The DC swamp is waaaaaay past due for a good draining and disinfecting, no doubt.

I remember that from past threads on this topic. Wasn't Sen. Sessions actively working on it at one time? I remember there was a FReeper email campaign. We do have Tony Snow interested, and he has plenty of ears to whisper into.

I recall something about Senator Sessions too....

Apparently, it's not as easy to obtain as Barrett makes it seem.

You know, Chucky has never been enamored with the junior senator ever since she parked herself in his state. He just may be interested. If not, we can always try Pete King.

Schumer would try to put a stop to it. Alerting him is not a good idea.

How about your Representative who has the same power to release it, I'm going to mine tomorrow. Viva Fresh Air and Truth!! I think the Breck Girl actually thinks its a compliment and the perfect mascot for the Democratic candidate, The Jackass with those huge ungainly EARS. Whats that olde saying? "I'm ALL Ears!", sorta fits real well.

Just sent a letter off to Cong. Pete King. Anyone have direct contact with the Great One or Tony Snow, besides FReep Mail?

It's worth a try. Unfortunately, I think that anyone who rocks Hillary's boat may end up in the Hudson River.

` The first is the cynical theory that we don't really live in a democracy but in a series of autocracies changed at fixed intervals. Thus the inevitable corollary: At the top, power-brokers stick together.

I think the "change" is mostly for public consumption - at the end of the day, the people at the top are all on the same team. Somebody simply has "The Talk" with the occasional Sessions or Coburn who tries to raise inconvenient issues...making it clear that if they go too far, they get Weldon-ized at the polls.

It further must be clear to the Republican brain trust that the party is on course to take an even worse drubbing in 2008 than it did in 2006, so they're surely counting future cards. And if they have to suffer a Democrat in the White House, who better than Mrs. Clinton, poster girl for moral ambiguity?

If they weren't actually on the same team, this would be the proper Machiavellian strategy. But since neither Hillary nor her Republican "opposition" intend to deviate too far from The Agenda anyway, the point is moot.

Well, let her try throwing me in the Hudson and East Rivers. It's crazy that we all live in fear of the Bubba mafia. She is an elected official seeking the highest office in the land; someone has to stand up to her one of these days. I don't mean to take it out on you, Panaxanax, but using her words, "I resent" that they keep getting away with murder.

If any NYers are interested: Pete.King@mail.house.gov

Not a problem, Miss Didi. I agree, let's do what we can to get our hands on those missing pages! Stay well.

I suggested him earlier; he'd love to make Herself disappear off the campaign trail.
