Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.
Why?
“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week.
“She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
How could a 27-year-old House staff member do all that? She couldn’t do it by herself, but Zeifman said she was one of several individuals – including Marshall, special counsel John Doar and senior associate special counsel (and future Clinton White House Counsel) Bernard Nussbaum – who engaged in a seemingly implausible scheme to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the investigation.
Why would they want to do that? Because, according to Zeifman, they feared putting Watergate break-in mastermind E. Howard Hunt on the stand to be cross-examined by counsel to the president. Hunt, Zeifman said, had the goods on nefarious activities in the Kennedy Administration that would have made Watergate look like a day at the beach – including Kennedy’s purported complicity in the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro.
It was an amazing interview, and I cannot believe (well, yes I can) that more media outlets have not picked up on this story. Unbelievable doesn’t begin to describe it. Yet believable it is.
Another small tome of Mr. Zeifman is “Hillary’s Pursuit of Power,” and it’s well worth the read. Please get your copies quick - they’re going fast, and not too many are available anymore.
You can watch/listen to the interview in three segments here, here and here.
Well, this is something I wish I could have attended, because I attended the first ever Fair Tax Rally in Gwinnett Co., GA. That event was nothing short of electrifying. According to the estimates, there were from 8,000 to 10,000 tonight at “the other event” in South Carolina, and we can only hope the politicians take note of what a whole lot of folks feel is very important.

… on behalf of the appeasement crowd. Nobody can speak the truth like the High Priest of the Church of the Painful Truth, otherwise known to most as Neal Boortz. I can’t do any better than Neal, so I’m just going to share it with you here (emphasis mine).
Dear Al Qaeda:
We know that things in Iraq have been a bit tough for you lately. President Bush’s determination to bring stability to Iraq through an increase in the number of troops has been showing results .. and even more troops are on the way. Because of the troop surge you have seen a decline in the number of American troops you and your Islamic fascist buddies have been able to kill. Because of the increased level of security in Baghdad the Iraqi people were starting to feel better about their future. You know this, even though the American people may not. You’re close to the situation so you can readily see the changing conditions. The American people are insulated from this reality by a media apparatus that is more concerned with the destruction of President Bush than to the success of our efforts in Iraq.
All in all, it was getting to be a pretty depressing picture for you and your terrorist pals.
Well … cheer up. Things are about to change. After a rather close vote in the U.S. Senate today you are one step closer to knowing an exact date upon which all U.S. troops will be withdrawn from Iraq. As we’re sure your political analysts will tell you, they’re setting a specific date for withdrawal. We’re sure you realize that you cannot commit yourself to victory and to a date-specific withdrawal at the same time. You select one course of action, or the other.
Take heart, too, in the fact that other nations and regimes in the Middle East have now seen further evidence that the United States does not have the political will to commit itself to victory. Your tactic of waging a war of attrition against American troops has been validated. The American people, having heard a preponderance of negative news from their media, are calling for capitulation. They’ve become complacent after five years have passed since 9/11 with no terrorists attacks in our country. Oh, there have been some isolated incidents of mad Muslims shooting up shopping malls and mowing innocents down with their cars … but nothing major to rekindle their determination. Was this your plan all along? Somehow we think that you are that clever … and if that’s the case, this element of your grand plan has also worked very well.
You now realize that you can advance your radical Islamist goals throughout the Middle East, and perhaps into Europe, without any fear of retaliation or interference from the United States. The will to fight is lost. The desire for victory has died. The American people have become fat, lazy and complacent. They no longer see either their freedom or their culture as something they are willing to fight for. It must be heady days indeed in your caves and tents. Hard to imagine, isn’t it? Al Qaeda actually has more determination to see their cause through than the great United States of America! Perhaps that’s because you’re dedicated to the cause of the spread of Islam, while the American people have lost their dedication to the cause of liberty. Complacency will do that to you.
We do have one word of caution for you. You and your Islamic terrorist buddies have been the beneficiaries of the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election in the United States. That election, and the close vote in our State of Florida, created a sense of hatred and resentment in Democrats against our president such as has never been seen before in our history. From that moment on Democrats and liberals in the U.S. were steadfastly dedicated to the idea of the destruction of the Bush presidency. Oh, to be sure, there were a few weeks of solidarity following your attacks of 9/11, but it didn’t last. When the panic subsided, Democrats suddenly realized that any measure of success in the war against you might actually strengthen the Republican hold on power. It didn’t take Democrats long to decide that their hatred of George Bush, and their desire to see his presidency destroyed, absolutely outweighed any concerns they had about protecting our people from another one of your vicious attacks. Democrats have convinced themselves that, once they have gained full control of our government, a few “we feel your pain” comments directed at your murdering Islamic followers will be all that is needed to put the Western world and the wonderful, peaceful, serene religion of Islam around a desert campfire singing rousing renditions of Kumbaya. You just need to be aware that there is a chance, though slight, that the Democrats might actually decide that our culture is worth fighting for … if they can first rid our country of the Bush pestilence.
At any rate .. the Senate has now set a deadline. If the bill makes it to the president’s desk he says he will veto it. Some feel, however, that when the president realizes that the legislation merely sets a date certain for our capitulation to you in Iraq, and doesn’t open the doors to any additional stem cell research, he will decide that a veto is not warranted. So … just sit tight. Save your energy. Catch your breath. Cool it. You may soon know the exact date that you one day commemorate as the date you chased the infidels out of Iraq. This could well be the date you will remember as the beginning of the final steps toward your 12th Caliphate and the cause of world domination under Islamic law.
You are small but determined to see your dreams of domination come true. America is strong but complacent and unwilling to fight for the cause of liberty. Time to ferment some goat’s milk for a toast!
Yours truly
America the Timid.
Man, Neal has a knack of saying things like I wish I only could. Harsh? Maybe. Truthful? Yes. But as Neal’s new book is titled, “Somebody’s Gotta Say It.” I urge you to go buy it today - it is this year’s must-read.
Today, Neal Boortz was on Cavuto’s show to talk about the fight on individualism in this country, and on the topic specifically of “giving back.” The term “giving back,” as Neal points out, indicates the people who are being given to had gotten it in the first place when, in fact, they haven’t! How can anybody disagree with this?
I listen to Neal’s show every day on Atlanta’s AM 750 WSB Radio, so I know how Neal feels about most issues. I’ve never heard him talk about this one (to my recollection) until today, but what he said made complete and total sense. Cavuto was of course prompted by a chapter in Neal’s new book, “Somebody’s Gotta Say It,” which debuted at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list recently.
Neal’s book is causing a firestorm in many areas, but unless you’ve listened to Neal before, you won’t understand why until you read the book. And I highly recommend reading it as soon as you can. I don’t agree with Neal on some issues, but then again, I don’t agree with anybody on everything. Neal just deals with things in not an ideological way, but in a common sense way. That’s why he calls himself the High Priest of the Church of the Painful Truth. After all…. somebody DOES gotta say it!
Last night, Neal Boortz was on H&C to promote his new book “Somebody’s Gotta Say It,” and suffice it to say, some of the conservatives out there will not like some of Neal’s social positions. But, Neal makes no bones about it; he’s a Libertarian. I disagree with him on certain issues, but damnit, so many times he’s just right about some things.
The title of his book is, however, “Somebody’s Gotta Say It.” And Neal makes no apologies. For that, I give him kudos. Of course you know, I’m in Atlanta, so he’s one of my favs on talk radio. I love his “better to ask forgiveness than permission” attitude, as well. Reminds me of someone I know dearly.
I’ve posted this probably three times before, but as new folks come around, especially in this new political season, this is worth posting again. Nobody can say it like Neal can. And here is what I posted last year when Neal first did this:
THIS IS A MUST-LISTEN/READ FOR EVERYONE! I’ve seen Neal’s Nuze being copied all over the place, and emailed everywhere, but very few give credit where credit is due. Neal Boortz wrote this piece, and recited it on the air TO A MUSLIM! This is BEYOND priceless! I’m so glad someone crafted this for YouTube video, so THANK YOU to “Crusader18″ who produced this brillaint piece to go right along with the audio file from Neal’s show.
Here’s Neal’s list of gripes:
Muslim outrage huh. OK … let’s do a little historical review. Just some lowlights:
Muslims fly commercial airliners into buildings in New York City. No Muslim outrage.
Muslim officials block the exit where school girls are trying to escape a burning building because their faces were exposed. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims cut off the heads of three teenaged girls on their way to school in Indonesia. A Christian school. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims murder teachers trying to teach Muslim children in Iraq. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims murder over 80 tourists with car bombs outside cafes and hotels in Egypt. No Muslim outrage.
A Muslim attacks a missionary children’s school in India. Kills six. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims slaughter hundreds of children and teachers in Beslan, Russia. Muslims shoot children in the back. No Muslim outrage.
Let’s go way back. Muslims kidnap and kill athletes at the Munich Summer Olympics. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims fire rocket-propelled grenades into schools full of children in Israel. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims murder more than 50 commuters in attacks on London subways and busses. Over 700 are injured. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims massacre dozens of innocents at a Passover Seder. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims murder innocent vacationers in Bali. No Muslim outrage.
Muslim newspapers publish anti-Semitic cartoons. No Muslim outrage
Muslims are involved, on one side or the other, in almost every one of the 125+ shooting wars around the world. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims beat the charred bodies of Western civilians with their shoes, then hang them from a bridge. No Muslim outrage.
Newspapers in Denmark and Norway publish cartoons depicting Mohammed. Muslims are outraged.
I’m so glad to be able to finally show this to all of you! Anybody now who is protesting against Israel fighting Hezbollah, our coalition forces fighting the Mahdi militia and Al Qaeda in Iraq and Afghanistan, or any other vicious Islamofascist group anywhere in this world, GET FRICKIN REAL! Listen to Neal, and let the High Priest of the Church of the Painful Truth HEAL you!
Neal talks to Muslim caller “Will,” who tries to tell the Talkmaster that Islam is a religion of peace. HA! Neal is at his finest here, and he is TRULY angry. GO, BOORTZ, GO! Tell it like it is!
No, we don’t have any news about the real Cynthia McKinney (yet), but this is Georgia’s next entrant into the looney reaches of our scariest places here in Georgia. This is Macon, GA Mayor, Jack Ellis, who has recently converted from Christianity to Islam. Nice, huh? He says he likes Islam because of the diversity of ethnicity and nationality. Yeah, that’s an attractive feature.
His Mayoral term limit will be up in ‘08, but he says he may run for a Georgia Congressional seat then. Oh yippee. Another “I wanna swear on the Quran” Islamist to look forward to. I think what will be his downfall, however, is the district in which he will run is a predominantly conservative Christian district, so hopefully he won’t have a prayer (so to speak).
As you can also probably predict, our local favorite pundit Neal Boortz is none-too impressed with this guy, either. And he said so at the Boortz Power Lunch on February 8th. I was there and stayed after the lunch, when Neal taped this interview with the local Fox affiliate reporter.
I also got a chance to listen in on some behind-the-scenes conversations between Neal Boortz and featured guest, Dick Morris. I’ll write about that later when I can get the video downloaded from my camcorder. It was interesting some of the things these two talked about. One thing is they’re both Jack Bauer fans. Heh.
Boortz was on H&C tonight, along with Bob Beckel, Juan Williams and Karen Hanretty. Neal, as you’ve discovered so far, is not one to engage vey easily in cross-talk or interrupting arguments. Folks, he’s been doing talk radio for 36 years, so I don’t think he has to give a damn whether or not people know who he is, and he damn sure doesn’t care if he offends them! He refuses to engage in shout-fests, which infuriates most people. That’s one of the reasons why his fans, including myself, love him.
This night’s roundup was fantastic. Granted, Neal didn’t get much of an opportunity to speak, but the times he did speak were priceless and his words were worth the highest $ in value in punditry compared to the others on tonight’s show. The looks on his face are so very telling to those listeners and readers who know him, his mannerism, and his body language, that he didn’t really have to say anything. His home base is Atlanta, he’s syndicated all over the world, but still a lot of people don’t know who he is.
Does the FairTax sound familiar? Thank Neal, as well as GA Rep. John Linder.
I will try to do some transcripts tomorrow, but it’s (again) too late and I have a day job to support this passion.
You are a Freedom Crusader, also known as a neoconservative. You believe in taking the fight directly to the enemy, whether it’s terrorists abroad or the liberal terrorist appeasers at home who give them aid and comfort.
