when Linda Tripp taped Monica Lewinsky (illegally no less) and forced her to testify against her will against Bill Clinton, that was just wonderful.

Is it true "hypocrisy" if the right-wingers are just too stupid to see it?

On edit--I am against any secret taping--of Bush or anybody else--unless it is by the police in a criminal investigation under law. Period.

1. Yeah, we noticed...we also noticed that the tapes also
are by and large pro-Bush.

Call me cynical, but I think there release is no accident. Its more BS to try to annoint him with a "common touch" so he can poison the country with his SS reform

4. His fundie retard base will swoon with adoration over his concern
for "the children." They'll excuse his use of drugs, while condemning Clinton, and regale themselves with the story they've been told that he cared so very, very much about how little chil'rens would perceive him that he lied to keep them from wanting to emulate him.

Sounds so similar to his reason for not wanting people to know about his DUI (he wanted to spare his darling daughters the sad news during their tender years).

Such a god-filled man.....

5. Exactly. This was simply Rovererian
do not even begin to think it wasn't a media manipulation.

3. also noted:
Iranian bloggers being shut down and jailed: Repression of freedom and silencing of a valuable voice speaking against those in power.

American bloggers: irresponsible and dangerous, probably liars

6. Is it a known fact that the tapings were in secret? If they were secret,
have any salient facts been left out of what has been released? Is this all just too convenient?

8. Who are "they"?
And when did they have a court order?

When Tripp recorded Monica Lewinsky, Tripp broke a Maryland law that is listed in the front of any phone book.
