WASHINGTON (July 13) - The Democratic National Committee released on Tuesday its lineup of the big-name politicians speaking at the convention this month, and it included every major Democratic star except one. There were Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, near the top of the list. Al Gore was there, too, and so was Edward M. Kennedy. Even the wife of the Iowa governor made the cut. But Hillary Rodham Clinton, the junior senator from New York and one of the most prominent names in the party, was nowhere to be found. That caught the attention of many Democrats, who wondered...

Private Eye May Have Eavesdropped On DA, Police LOS ANGELES -- Federal agents are keeping District Attorney Steve Cooley in the dark about their wiretapping probe targeting former celebrity private eye Anthony Pellicano, it was reported Thursday. Pellicano, now imprisoned for illegally possessing explosives, may have eavesdropped on at least two deputy district attorneys, a Los Angeles police detective and an alleged rape victim, sources close to the wiretapping investigation told the Los Angeles Times. Cooley, who said he was not privy to details of the probe, said criminal investigations could have been compromised. "Such illegal wiretapping puts lives of...

WASHINGTON — The presidential election of 2000 was one of the low points of modern U.S. politics. But the upcoming 2004 nomination contests have the potential to be exciting. Either or both conventions could be electrifying affairs. Democrats may have the first multi-ballot convention since 1952, which could be a disaster or an unexpected opportunity. Republicans, who set their convention in New York City so President Bush could return to the scene of his apparent post-9/11 political triumph, might find Manhattan circa 2004 a much less friendly international stage. There may be more FBI agents and uniformed military people in...

Man Implicates Seagal and Pellicano in Probe Fri Nov 22, 8:34 AM ET LOS ANGELES (AP) - A man charged with threatening a reporter who was investigating an alleged Mafia extortion plot against Steven Seagal told an FBI informant the actor was behind the threat, court documents show. Alexander Proctor allegedly said in secretly recorded conversations that he was hired to carry out the threat by Anthony Pellicano, a private detective to the stars. FBI agents said Proctor told the informant Seagal hired Pellicano to threaten Los Angeles Times reporter Anita Busch. "He wanted to make it look like the...

Actor Steven Seagal has been linked to threats directed at a Los Angeles Times reporter investigating the action star's relationship to a Mafia figure, according to federal court records. The explosive allegation is contained in an October 17 FBI affidavit filed in support of a government bid to search the Los Angeles home of Alexander Proctor, a 59-year-old ex-con who has been charged with threatening Times writer Anita Busch. The 21-page FBI affidavit--a key excerpt of which you'll find below [SEE LINK]--alleges that Proctor told a bureau informant (in tape-recorded conversations) that Seagal hired him through Anthony Pellicano, a noted...

Hollywood is buzzing over "investigator-to-the-stars" private eye Anthony Pellicano, who copped a plea earlier this year after the FBI caught him with a draw full of hand grenades and, in the words of one agent, enough plastique explosive to "take out a 747." But Left Coast celebs may not be the only folks currently losing sleep over Pellicano - especially since news broke late last week that he had the habit of illegally wiretapping the targets of his investigations. Besides causing trouble for headliners like Tom Cruise, Michael Jackson, Kevin Costner and dozens of other stars, Pellicano's tapes could easily...

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16 — Anthony Pellicano, the celebrated private investigator who has worked for celebrities like Michael Jackson, Kevin Costner and Tom Cruise, is expected to surrender to the authorities on Monday to begin a jail term for possessing illegal weapons. But Mr. Pellicano will hardly disappear from public view. Mr. Pellicano is the star player in an unfolding Hollywood drama involving reported illegal wiretaps that may give him the kind of fame reserved for the clients he has represented in a 20-year career in the entertainment business. Almost daily, new names surface in connection with a grand jury...

I haven't started a thread in about two years.

<p>We're not making this one up, folks. In a video snippet you can play for yourself on the NY1 News Web site (www.ny1.com1), Hillary Rodham Clinton accuses the Bush White House of "a cover-up at the highest level."</p> <p>"What transpired in the White House?" an angry Mrs. Clinton asked this week from the steps of New York's City Hall. "I know a little bit about how White Houses work. I know somebody picked up a phone, somebody got on a computer, somebody sent an e-mail, somebody called for a meeting, somebody, probably under instructions from somebody further up the chain, told the EPA, 'Don't tell the people of New York the truth,' and I want to know who that is."</p>

<p>May 29, 2003 -- BILL and Hillary Clinton's legal nemesis says he wants to put the past behind him and break bread with the couple he spent years dogging.</p> <p>Former Whitewater special prosecutor Ken Starr told PAGE SIX confidante Jordan Wright, "I would love to have dinner with President and Senator Clinton with Alice [Starr's wife]."</p>

As you all know, as conservatives, we believe it is good sometimes to spank our kids and our wife (ahem), as well as make love to the wife and tickle the children. Why? Because emotions of pleasure and pain etc, have a tendency to hard wire a learned fact. It is called the law of effect, and it is the enemy's strategy that aims at bypassing reason. The left is crude because the left is in a long range process of rewiring what people were taught at birth. They do not go beyond that, yet the scary thing is they...

<p>Turns up heat.</p> <p>December 21, 2002 -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday charged that Sen. Trent Lott is an example of the Republican Party's "constant exploitation of race" - and she dredged up accusations that President Bush played the race card during the 2000 presidential contest.</p>

<p>Given her name, celebrity and cash-raising prowess, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton will undoubtedly be tempted to assume a significant role in the loyal opposition, now that Republicans firmly control both the White House and the Congress.</p> <p>We hope she declines.</p>

Telling a New Yorker he's made a mistake is definitely a job for a volunteer, but as it is the place I was born and raised, I feel an obligation to tell the good folks that live there too a few things about the albatross they've hung around their collective neck. As much as any state in the Union, New York is populated by overachievers and pragmatists, not susceptible to the spiel of political con artists who show up periodically and try to pound sunshine up their asses. Suddenly they've decided to shoot crap with their state's future. The grim...

DUNDEE - New Yorkers getting acquainted with New Yorkers. That's the purpose of a one-day tour of the Finger Lakes wine region, which will be hosted by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and the New York State Wine & Grape Foundation Tuesday. The event is meant to spotlight New York state's world-class food and wine. "We're very excited and appreciative that Senator Clinton has really taken New York agriculture on, including New York wine and grapes, as a cause," said Jim Trezise, president of the New York State Wine & Grape Foundation. "She believes in the agriculture industry and in our...

Don’t ask me why, but it won’t be long before AK47s replace dollars as world currency. Don’t ask me why, but no man is his brother’s keeper, no matter how desperately Bill Clinton’s brother needs one. Don’t ask me why, but the French are incapable of forgiving Americans for the sacrifices we made on their behalf. Don’t ask me why, but if success went to Norman Mailer’s head, it had to be introduced rectally. Don’t ask me why, but the Clintons will finally find a true way to express the depth of their caring about children by becoming a pimp...

Although some of the details of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's visit to the area have not yet been released, local officials have confirmed two of her stops. Melanie Stepp, president and CEO of the Geneva Area Chamber of Commerce, said Clinton is scheduled to arrive in Geneva at 3 p.m. Thursday, where she will have two private meetings at the chamber of commerce office - the first with city officials, the second with representatives from area chambers. Stepp, plans to attend the second meeting and said she would like to speak to Clinton about the proposed Finger Lakes Institute and...

GENEVA - U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton will be in town next week focusing on the environment. Local officials confirmed this morning that the junior senator will be making a stop in Geneva Thursday, Aug. 29. A time and location will be announced later. The event will be open to the public.

Ever notice in politics how some things are just accepted as given, withhout being challenged? OK, we're being told, over and over, that Hillary is NOT running in 2004. It's too, soon, she promised the voters of NY that she'd serve out her full term in the Senate, whatever. (Note: as many of you know, I'm firmly convinced that she will go for it, that she will indeed be the nominee in 2004, primarily because this time is her only real chance. And yes, I'm paranoid about Hillary.) But despite the fact that she's the overwhelming second choice, behind Gore,...

Hillary Rodham Clinton with City Council candidate Elana Waskal Posner -- Sam's daughter August 9, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - A day after disgraced ImClone chief Sam Waksal was indicted for insider trading, bank fraud and obstruction of justice, his favorite politician - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton - said she has no intention of returning the $27,000 he's given her. Clinton has been the biggest individual recipient by far of Waksal's campaign largesse. He pumped $20,000 into her soft-money committee for her 2000 Senate race, gave that campaign $2,000 directly, and donated another $5,000 to HILLPAC, her political-action committee, in...

In a bid to win more money from the White House for Ground Zero rescue and recovery workers, Sen. Hillary Clinton has promised to take some of them to President Bush's Crawford, Texas ranch to help clear brush while she and the president discuss the issue. Clinton said that she would be willing to "put on a pair of work gloves" herself if it would convince Bush to meet with her, but apparently she's reserving any real work for the 9-11 heroes. "I am sure the guys I bring with me will be happy to help out," she said...

DJ Hillary Clinton-2:Spokeswoman:She Isn't Running For Pres "As Senator Clinton has said, she is not running for president; she is working hard in the Senate for the people of New York," said Clinton spokeswoman Karen Dunn when asked about the poll. Republican consultant Jay Severin said that Clinton's decision to hold a fund-raiser in Washington next month for Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack is evidence that the senator is preparing to run for president in 2008. "She's going to collect chits," Severin said Monday. "The biggest George Bush fan in America right now for '04 is Hillary Clinton. She needs Bush ...

February 4, 2002 World Economic Forum Takes Left Turn By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 1:58 a.m. ET NEW YORK (AP) -- They came in solidarity with this terror-wounded city. But since they arrived, speaker after speaker at the World Economic Forum has lambasted America as a smug superpower, too beholden to Israel at the expense of the Muslim world, and inattentive to the needs of poor countries or the advice of allies. With the forum wrapping up its five-day session Monday, some of the criticism has been simple scolding by non-Western leaders. But a large measure has come in ...
