Byron York Remembers Vince Foster [Dan Collins]

Hopenchange:

And even though the scandal went on for quite a while, it seems very long ago now, especially when you look at all the Clinton types who are playing enormously important roles in today’s affairs. Hillary Clinton — who the independent counsel concluded gave “factually false” testimony on the Travel Office firings — is going to become Secretary of State. Her husband is an international statesman. John Podesta runs an influential think tank and has orchestrated the Obama transition. George Stephanopoulos is sitting in David Brinkley’s chair at ABC News. And Vince Foster has been dead for 15 years. Make of it what you will.

    The one man of conscience ensnared in the machinations of the Clintons and the Left ends up dead, and one of the few men without conscience in the Bush administration, Scott McClellan, becomes an ephemeral hero to the Left. What a morbid ideology.

    Judging by recent events, one would have thought that many among you were actually fond of Hillary Clinton.

    Unless, of course, you were just using her. And how shallow and sexist would that be. Also.

    yes, I am super sexist.

    There was also that “devil you know” aspect to it.

    Liars, cheats, and thieves all. Slimming their way to the top. Sadly, Vince Foster outlived his use and not for very long. Surely the innocent, whose bodies are buried deep and mum, will someday have a say.

    Is there an Operation Chaos in the Lobby? Yah think?

    “This is a ship of war, and I will grind whatever grist the mill requires in order to fulfill my duty.”

    Foster == Grist.

    Judging by recent events, one would have thought that you’d have learned that it takes less time to TrollHammer your ass than it takes you to type in a new name.

    Buh-bye.

    Which recent events would you be referring to?

    Which recent events would you be referring to?

    That would be Operation Chaos: A concerted effort to promote Republicans re-registering as Democrats in order to vote for Hilliary in certain primaries.

    Mostly advocated by Rush Limbaugh, generally considered to be an overwhelming failure in cynical exploitation.

    See PUMA.

    See Sarah Palin.

    I didn’t have to re-register.

    generally considered to be an overwhelming failure in cynical exploitation.

    But an overwhelming success in entertaining the cynical.

    shhhhh, B Moe.

    You forgot hypocrites and bunko artists, BigMG. Those are pre-requisites for superstardom in the New Democratic party…

    Charismatic sociopath seems to cover all the bases. A least for the superstars. The secondary and lower levels are less charismatic and the thuggery shows through the not so shiny surface.

    Fun times. The Vacation from history is back on! Only THIS time it will be a vacation in Hell.

    Yeah, because the Dems nominee election selection was so decisive and non-controversial.

    Erm, during the Michigan primaries, the man on the street was bragging that they were going to make a little mischief since the Dems were out of play at that point. And, that would be the Democratic man on the street. Humn … who were they backing? OH YEA, that super-duper Republican (and liberal BBF at that point) John McCain.

    This blows. Obama promised change and yet right wingers are still going on about Vince Foster.

    This blows. Obama promised change and yet the lefties still fail to recognize their own scandals:

    I was looking over a daily almanac and saw that Vincent Foster would have been 64 years old today. In the 1990s, I spent a lot of time covering his death, beginning with trip to Fort Marcy Park the morning after his body was discovered. From the very beginning, I felt confident it was a suicide, something I think was conclusively proven by Kenneth Starr’s 1997 report.

    Like most suicides, there were a lot of factors involved. But there’s no doubt that Foster was deeply distraught over the Travelgate scandal. He believed — correctly — that it would result in several investigations. He was worried about his reputation. He was under a lot of pressure from then-First Lady Hillary Clinton.

    Clinton, 1992: Promises the most ethical administration in American history.

    Obama, 2008: Promises change.

    Plus ça yadda yadda yadda.

    I need some money, and I could get five telemarketing jobs today raising money for libs. But I won’t, because I’ve got a better idea.

    What the Republicans, and by extension you people, need to do is pay me cash to “work” for the libs and then we could both use the knowledge I gain to raise money for Republicans.

    I’m starting now, so give me money. This is the pre-undercover phase, save the anonymous nature of my comments- such as it is.

    It’s to delay the end of the world as we know it. Email me with your info and we’ll work out a way to wire the cash to me.

    I’ll need $240 minimum.

    It’s a change from the BOOSH WAS AWOL nonsense, meya. Remember, everything Clinton is new again, because of the change.

    Obama promised change and yet I still hear more from left-wingers about Vince Foster than I ever did from right-wingers. I WANT MY CHANGE NOW, DAMMIT!!!

    “generally considered to be an overwhelming failure in cynical exploitation.”

    It worked in Ohio.
