Abramoff - Richard C Clarke

[Bluesplayer]

Does anyone else think it's tragically ironic that Jack Abramoff, according to Scotty, was able to attend "staff-level meetings" at the White House, but former CounterTerrorism Chief Richard C. Clark was unable to get anyone to meet with him about al Quaeda prior to 9/11?

Why didn't Clarke just offer $100,000 for the meeting? That seems to work.....





Thanks to my wife Bonnie for the connection.

1. Good connection, Bonnie!

2. Gannon/Guckert also had easy access; I guess it's

'who' you know. :eyes:

3. or who you blow...n/t

6. I was trying not to say that....

[Wilms]

4. You're on to something.

How about if we had a fund to buy off judges in exchange for them allowing sworn whistle-blower testimony?

:grr:

[Bluesplayer]

5. nah - that would be illegal

we should just get cushy jobs for the judges' wives and kids.

[Bluesplayer]

7. shameless kick

[spuddonna]

8. Geez, only $100K? That President Bongo guy had to shell out $9 mil.! n/t

[Bluesplayer]

9. $100 K is pretty much

the traditionally accepted amount for a staff meeting. To bribe your way into a president-to-president meeting is cheap at $ 9 million. I do wonder, though, if any of the 9 mil was paid im blood diamonds.

[spuddonna]

10. Yeah, that's true...

And I don't even want to think where or how that $9 mil was raised or paid for...(cringe)

[Tracyjo]

12. Aren't we missing $9 mil someplace? n/t

[hvn_nbr_2]

13. If you mean missing in Iraq, it's 9 Billion with a B, not million. n/t

[Tracyjo]

14. Whoops, You be right.

I knew that.

[Bluesplayer]

15. Paul Bremmer

used to pay $9 million for lunch everyday.

11. Maybe he should have asked one of the tribes to help him get an

audience to report his findings.

I can't wait to hear what Clarke has to say about Cheney and Hayden saying that they could have identified operatives before 9-11 if they had had TSP (that is TSP, Dick style, not the stuff you use to wash your walls before you paint). When you think about it Dick and Michael H are painting, aren't they?

16. Can you imagine some lobbyist pimping Clinton?

Their heads would have exploded.

[usregimechange]

17. Good point, I want this on the air tomorrow. Mediablast...

[Bluesplayer]

18. I'd love to see someone

make the comparison on teevee news. Maybe Jack Cafferty- she's sick up and fed with the whole thing these days.

[donkeyotay]

19. But Clark's hair was on fire, while Abramoff had bidness to do

So, how can you compare apples to oranges? Maybe we should take up a collection and see if we can buy enough republicans to impeach the miserable failure's ass.

Good catch, Bonnie

20. Read Richard A. Clarke's lastest book

"The Scorpion's Gate"

[Bluesplayer]

23. thanks for the reminder

I just ordered it!

[0007]

24. Let me know how you like it. Feel free to PM me.

[Uncle Joe]

21. Well, whose to blame Bush, Clarke

was only the counter terrorism chief while Abramoff wears a pretty hat, that is until he goes to prison.

Kicked and nominated.

:kick:

22. Jack's baseball cap the next day was cute too...
