"I remember this country when it was sane. That was more than 40 years ago. The end really started with John Kennedy. The minute I first heard him, I recognized there was something terribly wrong with that man. He was lying to me without shame or conscience. He did not have respect for me or for the presidency. It was the same impression I received, more strongly, upon seeing or hearing Bill Clinton..."
Mort Sahl - loathes Clinton - maybe we could get him on some high profile "program" for him to repeat these epithets......or maybe the world will come to Free Republic and find your posts!
...I reminded MORT of his great line from his 1961 Comedy ..'The New Frontier'.. Album he recorded at Miami's Hotel Fountainbleu right after JFK's Bay of Pigs Invasion Fiasco against Communist FIDEL CASTRO =
"Well, here we are, Ladies and Gentlemen, with -The New Frontier- ...CUBA..!"
to which a deeply listening MORT answered "Yes."
...I then continued with =
"And now here we are 40 years later, Ladies and Gentlemen, with -The Last Frontier- ...CUBA...!"
to which a deeply listening MORT slowly answered back..."Y-E-S"...!!!!
Guess some things just NEVER change with Time?
"Y-E-S"...!!!!
Mort-Sahl: "I've arranged with my executor to be buried in Chicago. Because when I die, I want to still remain active politically." Q ERTY1 ping! |

Delicious moments, memorialized by Mia!
Not exactly...I did post my pic in the photo album... ;)
Proud to know "the 2 Bushes," the Kennedys, Nixon ASHINGTON, Jan.16-- Mort Sahl,"Will Rogers with fangs," the 60s satirist and self-professed "radical independent" who cut his political-eyeteeth at the Hungry i, put the intellectual--if not the final--nail in the clinton legacy coffin on the Aaron Brown Show tonight. (Who is Aaron Brown? Imagine Charlie Rose plus paunch minus Southern suavity.) That the eponymous Clinton News Network (CNN) televised the demise only added to the irony. Brown asked Sahl what he thought of clinton. "Never met him." The terse Sahl non sequitur did not deter the host. Brown probed further with polite imprecision, which is his hallmark. "Would you like to meet him?" With neither hesitation nor the slightest hint of irony, Sahl explained, "I have no desire to meet clinton; with no morality, there's nothing there." By way of contrast, the intrepid iconoclast, who never knew a president he didn't skewer, went on to express pride in knowing "the two Bushes," the Kennedys and Nixon. So much for the clinton legacy. The CLINTON-WAS-AN-UTTER-FAILURE Containment Team Scheme, counterproductive on its face, is now officially dead. If the clintons had any concern for the American aesthetic, they would bury it...and, while they're at it, themselves. |
Practically perfect! ROFLMAO!
Mia, you are not only our performance artist, but your wit and writing are absolutely devastating-funny, sharp, seriously on target and absolutely refreshing. I know exactly what you mean about the story that is now told simply by watching clinton's eyes. Spooky, sick and telling. Very telling. And deserved. I can't even summon pity for him because underneath it all, even considering his great void in the character dept, ...he betrayed all of us, he betrayed his nation for money, bottom line.
You, dear, are our resident philosopher....you are you know. Your artistic talent only adds gloss.
And Morty---what can one say.....he is an American gem. What he said regarding not being interested in meeting clinton reminds me of reading once something said by jesse jackson (of all people-yuck); it went something like ' when you look up close and personal at bill clinton, glancing deeply into his eyes, you see that there is nothing there but a black hole, that it is empty. Again, very spooky to my way of thinking
GSC ... no, you are not. That is part of Mia's creative allure. She deliberately operates in a different zone. She has a secret, but we will never find out what it is. In the meanwhile, she is telling us more about herself than almost anyone on the internet.
