Our Corrupt "Betters"

clipped from www.captainsquartersblog.com One of my favorite films, John Sayles' Eight Men Out, tells the story of the 1919 Chicago White Sox, who threw the World Series for gambler cash. It shows what happens when people feel an entitlement to something other than integrity. Today we have two stories that show the impulse did not die in 1920. First, the Hillary Clinton campaign fixed a question-and-answer session at an appearance at Grinnell University, although no one will admit that Hillary herself knew which questioner to address The mainstream media may find the same problem in a French courtroom. In that defense, France 2 has essentially told the court that all other news media does the same in its reporting from the Middle East The ends justify the means. Without integrity, politicians and news agencies are absolutely nothing. They are game-show hosts, only less intellectual. If they have to fix games, it means they already know they're losers. Even the Black Sox had more integrity than that.

And a commenter pretty much seals it up on the Hillary front:

When Hillary was on her "LISTENING" tour of NY, trying to carpetbag the Senate Seat.

She ran a stealth candidacy which limited her engagement with anyone, that wasn't really on the game plan.

In fact, Ms. Rodham appeared on David Letterman's tv program to answer questions about NY, to improve her 'invading' image.

We learned later these were all prearranged programmed questions, which the answers were provided to Hillary.

If you remember, Bill Clinton did not have a press conference for the remaining two years of his Presidency, after it was revealed he lied under oath about his relationship with an Intern.

The Clinton Machine hasn't changed, as it remains a very corrupt facade.

You can vote for Hillary. On the other hand, I will chose an alternative that will allow me to sleep at night...
