Ho-Hum Hillary

clipped from www.cnsnews.com A videotape shows New York Sen. Hillary Clinton committing felonies and should be admitted as new evidence in a California civil case, a forthcoming legal brief to be filed by Friday argues. The tape shows Clinton -- currently the leading Democratic presidential contender -- speaking in 2000 with Peter Paul, a Hollywood mogul, and comic book icon Stan Lee about a massive fundraising event for her 2000 Senate race. Paul spent about $2 million of his own money to produce the event. The legal contribution limit to a candidate then was $2,000. "The evidence is of that rare type that captures the very commission of a crime, namely, that of knowingly soliciting, coordinating and accepting federal campaign contributions far in excess of the legal limit of $2,000," says the brief to be filed by Paul's attorney with the Court of Appeal, 2nd Appellate District arguing in favor of including the tape as evidence.

Of course, I'd be put in prison for a hundred years if I was even in the same solar system as a phone call like this if I was a politician. But in Hillary's case, the evidence will be thrown out of court by a Clinton appointee judge and all the Dems will say it's not relevant since she wasn't convicted. Never mind that you'd be a moron to watch it and still believe she's within a hundred light years of being innocent...

Felony corruption. Nothing to see here. Move along now.

No wonder Congress is down to 14% approval. People are noticing and some are starting to wonder if a democratic republic can function with politicians being held in -- and worse, both parties deserving -- this level of contempt. I have to admit that I am wondering too.

So what do we do? I'm stumped.

As far as I can see, the old saw that "anyone smart enough to president is smart enough not to be" has it nailed. Even if you were charismatic genius incarnate, would you want your family dragged through the personal gossip mudstorm the media routinely creates -- that has become in fact their lifeblood?

The only answer is for good people to re-engage in politics and take the country back. As Orwell says on my masthead: "Sometimes the first duty of intelligent men is the restatement of the obvious". (And women of course!)

But if we try, we'll get slaughtered like pigs on the altar of the corrupt press by these vicious and corrupt morons. In too many ways, Dostoevsky's "Grand Inquisitor" from Brothers Karamazov has nothing on them. So I don't think the rebellion is going to happen until we're really in danger of losing the country. And by then it may well be too late...
