More Lessons from Watergate
2008-04-08 21:49:00 What is at stake in the debates over telecommunications company liability, and the foreign surveillance bill? If the plaintiffs suing the telecoms have righteous cases worthy of a judgments of liability, immunity might not be such a good idea.

After all, American law is based on precedent, and the principle of stare decises...(read more)

Deep Quote
2007-11-27 15:26:00 Radar: I think the fact that we never knew about Jack's [John F. Kennedy] girlfriends at the time was not really a bad thing. Does it help us to know so much about the sex lives of public officials?Ben Bradlee: I always have to spend a little time explaining my own. [Bradlee's sister-in-law at the time, Mary Meyer, had an affair with JFK. Later she was mysteriously found dead.]Radar Online's Charles Kaiser interviews the iconic Washington Post exec editor (and still a hunk at 86 in my opinion) Ben Bradlee about sex, lies, JFK, Watergate, politics and more. Bradlee and "legendary Washington Post editor" are inextricably linked. I refuse to succumb.On Hillary: I'm not as against her as some other people under my roof. Sally [Quinn, his wife] - I find the women are really very, very strongly against her.What's that about?: I don't know. I don't think Hillary is a completely sympathetic person. But she is hard-working, she is monolithically devoted to policy?she's a wonk. I'm n...

Forget Watergate! Here Comes BLOGGERGATE!
2007-10-18 19:56:00 It appears that some left wing bloggers have been subsidized with illegal Democrat campaign contributions. In attempts to launder the donations, campaigns have marked the funds as given to "non-partisan" non-profit groups. This scandal has been dubbed "Bloggergate"."Bloggergate begin around 2005 when two well known left wing admitted to taking cash from Howard Dean's presidential campaign.Who appears suspicious of such activities today?Suspicions were aroused for Hillary with a video that recently showed up on YouTube. In this video she proudly claimed that she had helped create “institutions” which had produced a left-wing “network in the blogosphere” capable of “matching” the alleged “advantage of the other side.”In my opinion suspicions are confirmed by Mrs. Clinton's own statement in 2004 in Chicago when she said "In a lot of the new progressive infrastructure, institutions that I helped to start and support like Media Matters and Center for American Progres...

ABC Mark Levin's Campaign of Disinformation Against Ron Paul
2007-08-19 01:15:00 The latest in the mainstream media's bizarre and destructive campaign against Ron Paul and his supporters - actually, more ABC's than any other medium - comes from the WABC New York and nationally syndicated ABC radio talk host, Mark Levin.As you can see on his web page, he's urging his listeners and web-page readers to "Call Ron Paul's office and tell him he can't win."What kind of ham-handed campaign of disinformation is that?Levin describes himself as "one of America's preeminent conservative commentators and constitutional lawyers."I would describe Levin as a Nixonian dirty trickster, in the Donald Segretti and Watergate scandal tradition.Ron Paul and his supporters should actually wear Levin's sleazy tactics as a badge of honor. They should be proud that someone who lists Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity among his favorite links, and who supports the Bush administration as if it were Abraham Lincoln's, has seen fit to try to undermine Ron Paul's campaign in this underhan...
