<< MENAGE A TROIS: The Clinton's sweetheart real estate deal illustrates once
again that the law is no better than those who write and enforce it. In
today's Washington, anything goes and when, it doesn't, the law is simply
reinterpreted to make sure it does.
To get a handle of the absurdity involved in this house business, imagine
one of your friends co-signing your mortgage note so you can buy yourself a
nicer house than you could possibly afford given your financial condition.
Make it a $1.7 million house and homebuyer who is $5 million in debt and any
argument that the deal is altruistic become comedic. There is only one sane
reason to do such a thing and that it because you expect something in return.
Years ago giving a pol something of value was called a bribe, kickback, or
payoff. Then the lawyers and politicians got hold of the laws and start
rewriting them so that it wasn't enough that you gave a politician something
of value, but there had to be a provable quid pro quo or, in this case, an
easily determined dollar value to the gift. Then the lawyers and politicians
would stand before the media and declare something to be ethical because it
met their deeply corrupted standards. And the media could be counted on not
to see through the scam. >>
This struck me as odd as well. When Reagan left office, a friend GAVE him a
ranch in California. When George Bush left office, a friend GAVE him a home.
They both had homes at the time, and Reagan had just picked up two million
for a speech in Japan. Bush went to Kuwait where I'm sure they expressed
their appreciation of his efforts on their behalf during the Gulf War.
Clinton is getting a kind of "booby prize." Well maybe that fits. Prudy
