I Miss The Old Made Up Scandals

FRIDAY DECEMBER 7 2007 9:00 AM

Submitted by FearTheReaper. Edited By erin_broadley.

TAGS: Clinton, Bush, Idiots, Travelgate



Remember Travelgate? How cute was that scandal? It started in May of 1993 when seven employees of the White House Travel Office were fired after the FBI started poking around. The Clinton administration said they were fired because of “financial improprieties.” Then the right wing went fucking batshit crazy and claimed the Clintons had brought in the FBI as part of some crazy plot to get rid of the employees and replace them with their friends.

Then everybody but the White House janitorial department investigated. The FBI jumped in, and so did the Justice Department, the General Accounting Office, the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee and the Whitewater Independent Counsel. Kenneth Star exonerated Bill Clinton and an Independent Counsel concluded Hillary had made false statements, but nothing that warranted prosecution. It was a big old pile of nothing that cost taxpayers millions.

Now, that was just the firing of seven people – who worked in a God damn travel office. Now consider that the Bush administration looks mighty suspect for firing US Attorneys who did not aggressively prosecute Democrats or were prosecuting Republicans and the difference in the way the administrations have been treated is quite startling. Where’s the independent counsel? Where are the millions of dollars to follow those serious accusations up? No?

What about the fact that the White House appears to have blatantly broken the law by deleting 10 million emails?


A government watchdog group now says at least ten million White House emails, which may contain information about the leak of Valerie Plame Wilson's covert CIA status, have been destroyed by the Bush administration.


Now let us close our eyes and imagine what would have happened to a Clinton White House if it had deleted 10 million emails. It’s a bit different, isn’t it? Imagine if those emails that were deleted occurred during a time when Bill Clinton took us to war, outed a CIA agent and fired a bunch of US Attorneys. Seems Bill might have actually been executed.

And forget about those possible violations of the law they could have been hiding, just deleting the emails is completely illegal.


The first violation was the use of unofficial email accounts by White House staff to conduct official business.


The second potential violation, which received little media coverage, was the destruction of internal emails at the White House.


Little media coverage? You don’t say? You mean the media doesn’t cover the Bush administration with the same rabid dog mentality that they treated the Clinton administration? Wow. You mean when CREW issued a report two days ago detailing how the number of deleted emails could actually be 10 million and no major media organization picked it up, that wasn’t the same way Clinton would have been treated? Shocking.

At least last month the media was able to jump all over the story of how the RNC has started a petition to get the Clintons to release 20 million emails. Now, that is some important shit.

Why do I bring up this comparison nonsense? Because idiot right wing douche bags continue to bring up Clinton to this day. “But Clinton got away with, you didn’t care when Clinton did it, Clinton was a criminal…” On and on and on.

Anyone who brings up Bill Clinton’s name as a comparison to anything George Bush has done is a complete and total fucking moron. The mentally retarded should look down upon you as an intellectual inferior. You should actually be taken behind a barn a shot in the head because you are such a useless waste of humanity. Even worms and insects should shun your useless, decomposing body for its lack of substance. A steaming pile of shit will give more to the Earth than your corpse as it rots. Basically, your existence is an affront to God.

So, do everyone a favor and shut your pie hole.

FearTheReaper was no Clinton fan, but if you can’t see the difference…

A quick survey reveals that the CREW lawsuit and the temporary restraining order issued by Judge Kennedy was covered by:

ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, Yahoo News, Google News, the Washington Post, the New York Times, The Atlanta Journal / Constitution, the Boston Globe, the LA Times...just to name a few.

What other "major media organizations" would need to report this story for you to feel better?

The law governing the retention of these emails is clear. If the White House cannot produce the documents in question then they are in violation of the law and should be held accountable.

By the way, my comments regarding Clinton were posted in response to your assertion that Rudy's sex life had irreparably damaged his bid for the White House. I made no comparison between Clinton and Bush.

Even the most elementary attempts at accuracy seem to be beyond you.

No, sir, your short-term memory fails you: You were reminded that FTR's complaint was the misuse of public funds, and not the sex scandal in and of it's self.

Perhaps it was your intention to forget that part.

Typical Liberal comeback. Obviously the republicans are saving the taxpayers millions of dollars by removing the need for a costly investigation


Damn, that was funny.

In all seriousness regardless of who is in charge the law is the law and must be followed and the correct steps must be taken to ensure this is followed through with.


I think there's an element of partisanship on both sides in terms of who gets investigated and for what. That being said, partisanship in prosecution (and the lack thereof) is unquestionably more egregious among Republicans.



I hate to agree with you, but only because I find it so hard to believe that people can be so that short sighted in their interests. The facts however say otherwise.



Wait! You guys are agreeing on this? eeek

Shhh not so loud Zarth has already agreed with me twice this year and he hates it, if he realizes were in agreement a third time I don't know what he will do. Not to mention I made him laugh at a joke the other day. It might be too much for him. biggrin
