HI CBJ,
I partially agree with you.
I believe that a crook is a crook but I have found that the little crooks often go to jail while the Big (rip off you whole life savings) Crooks pay a fine with stolen money and then start all over again.
If both the big crooks and the little crooks all went to jail, maybe we’d all be better off but I suspect this won’t happen.
Certainly not with the present US Executive Branch in power…
Enron bigwigs went on trade trips with the Clinton administration.
Ken Lay pitched the idea of carbon credits to clinton and Gore in the oval office. Gore now owns a carbon credit scam business from which he buys his bogus carbon credits. But wait – there’s more!
The Clinton Legacy of Uniqueness:
– The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance
– Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates
– Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation
– Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
– Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
Clinton Admin Firsts:
– First president sued for sexual harassment
– First president accused of rape
– First first lady to come under criminal investigation
– Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case
– First president to establish a legal defense fund
– First president to be held in contempt of court
– Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
– Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad
– First president disbarred from the US Supreme Court and a state court
Clinton & Co.
– Number of individuals and businesses associated with the Clinton machine who have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes: 47
– Number of these convictions during Clinton’s presidency: 33
– Number of indictments/misdemeanor charges: 61
– Number of congressional witnesses who have pleaded the Fifth Amendment, fled the country to avoid testifying, or (in the case of foreign witnesses) refused to be interviewed: 122
Brought to you by “the most ethical administration in history.”
Just to reflect on the current adminstration, Willy, how many crimes have Bush administration people been convicted of crimes. Do you have the same numbers? I have heard Media Mogul and so many others post hate about President Bush, I’m just curious.
Nobody Important – First, I got the Clinton figures from http://www.prorev.com, where there’re tons more facts. Progressive Review is hardly a rightwing bastion.
Second, the only one that comes to mind in answer to your question was Scooter Libby, who was charged with perjury during an investigation for which no one else was indicted. This means that he contradicted himself or other witnesses and was prosecuted even though the prosecutor knew that it was Richard Armitage that “leaked” Plame’s ID, which was not a crime because no one was prosecuted for it.
But the DailyKook readers might have access to sources I don’t for news, like space aliens and talking cats, so we’ll see what they come up with.
I am amazed at how many of you want to open the flood gates to lawsuits against potential deep pockets who may have had absolutely nothing to do with any fraud that was committed. If a third party was involved in the fraud then obviously they should be help liable. All this case is about is opening more doors for the trial lawyers to line their pockets without regard to laibility.
Maybe it’s just me not understanding Joe, but it looks like some of your post is missing. My yard man is me. I’m not aware of any criminal activity by my yard man. Just joking Joe. I’m trying hard to be mellow in my posts.
I’m assuming you are being sarcastic with your post about the right using the courts to get laws they can’t pass. That’s almost the exclusive property of the liberals.

Yeah, just wanted to give “media mogul” something to work with.

I set you up for scathing commentary and you failed me Willy. Hopefully the ranting Bush haters have some real or made up facts to present.
of you want to be prosecuted for criminal activity b/c your yard man committed a crime and worked for you also. media mogul? nobody important?
