Story about the "little boy with hand in cookie jar" as Chandra's mother said - that guy took more than one cookie but I wonder now how much money he will make - was it worth all the press? Why yes for this man is now a celebrity forever and whether he did evil or good will make no difference but then murder they wrote - hey where's the body? Up in the attic or down in the basement - in the attic is one thing, but in the basement it is buried forever. Oh Fame is the Name of the Game - ie Bill Clinton .... Well soon the Unicorn will be going on trial and will Modesto forget Gary Condit or is there someone in the wings waiting an laughing to take over this seat? Will be interested in getting a load of his competiton.... Saba But all the kings horses and all the kings men, will never put Gary together again - for he will cary this albatross so long as he lives.... So the Garbage Makers are working full force in attempt to clean up the cess pool left by Mr. Condit in his Adam Morgan Condo? Condit to begin telling his story People magazine has already prepared its new issue, out Friday, in which Rep. Gary Condit, pictured on the cover with his wife, talks about Chandra Levy's disappearance. August 22 � Rep. Gary Condit will talk to the country for the first time Thursday night. NBC's George Lewis reports. Lawmaker breaking months of silence this week in letter, blitz of media interviews � � MSNBC� � Aug. 22 � �For almost four months, Democratic Rep. Gary Condit has resolutely kept silent as speculation about Chandra Levy's disappearance has swirled around him. But that will change Thursday, when Condit's Northern California constituents are delivered a 2�-page letter personally written by Condit as he opens a broad public relations campaign to salvage his political career, headlined by a nationally televised interview Thursday evening.�� � � �� � � � � � � August 22 � NBC's Tim Russert discusses the political ramifications of Gary Condit's TV interview. � � � �THE INTERVIEW, on ABC News' "Prime Time Thursday," is one of at least five that Condit, a 53-year-old married father of two, has chosen to give this week after refusing for weeks to speak in public about his relationship with Levy, the 24-year-old former federal intern who vanished in late April. � � � �A source close to Condit told NBC News correspondent Norah O'Donnell that Condit was also expected to grant an interview to a television station in his Modesto, Calif.-based congressional district. It would air after the ABC interview, probably during the 11 p.m. local newscast. � � � �Condit also plans to do an interview with a Modesto-area newspaper; meanwhile, People magazine said Wednesday that it would publish an interview with Condit in its edition due out Friday, and Newsweek said it was scheduled to interview him Friday. � � � �Condit spokeswoman Marina Ein said the congressman had two goals in his interviews and letters to constituents. "His primary concern is to express his personal pain with what has occurred and, secondarily, to correct the record," Ein said. Advertisement � � � �Washington police have told NBC News that Condit has acknowledged carrying on a romantic relationship with Levy, who grew up in his district. She had just finished an internship at the federal Bureau of Prisons in Washington when she vanished on or about April 30. � � � �Police have said repeatedly that Condit is not a suspect in Levy's disappearance and that there is no proof a crime had been committed. � � � � HOPES TO MEND FENCES � � � �Several political pundits have declared his political career over, but his chief of staff has said Condit plans to run for his seventh full term in the House next year. Condit, first elected in a special election in 1989, won 67 percent of the vote last year. � � � �Condit's most visible critic have been Levy's parents, Robert and Susan Levy Levy, who have mounted a high-profile media campaign to pressure him to reveal all he knows about their missing daughter. � � � �Condit's political consultant, Richie Ross, has said Condit recognizes that his constituents are angry, disappointed and frustrated, particularly by his refusal to issue more than brief written statements during the investigation into Levy's disappearance. More coverage �Latest developments �Inside.com: Why Chung? �Inside.com: How networks get interviews �'Dateline': The Levys speak out �BBS: Sound off � � � �"It's very hard to initiate a dialogue with voters until there is no doubt that he had nothing to do with her disappearance," Ross said. However, "the political clock is ticking and running. He's going to have to go out and talk to the voters." � � � �Condit's first attempt to do that begins Thursday morning, when the Postal Service begins delivering about 200,000 letters to voters in his district. � � � �Copies of the letter were under tight security after they arrived at Modesto's main post office Wednesday afternoon, and details of what it said were a closely kept secret. But NBC News learned from a source close to the Condit camp late Wednesday that Condit opens with an expression of concern for Levy before explaining what happened when her parents first called him in May and outlining his cooperation with investigators. The Search for Chandra Levy MSNBC Cable will air a special report on the Levy case Thursday at 8 p.m. ET. � � � �CNBC's Geraldo Rivera reported that in addition to asking for his constituents' "patience and understanding," Condit excoriates the media for the "tabloid nature" of its coverage, likening the attention on him to a "feeding frenzy." � � � �The letter carries a notice that it was paid for by the Condit for Congress election committee � not sent free of charge under his congressional franking privilege. � � � � TERMS FOR ABC � � � �Thursday night, Condit takes his case the nation in a 30-minute taped interview conducted by ABC's Connie Chung. � � � �ABC agreed to several conditions limiting its coverage in exchange for the exclusive interview, which was expected to draw high ratings during the otherwise slow season of summer reruns. � � � �The interview will be "live to tape" � broadcast lingo that means ABC will run the half-hour with no opportunity to edit what Condit says and no time for Chung to follow up with more questions. August 22 � Mike Doyle of The Modesto Bee and political analyst Ed Rollins assess Condit's upcoming network interview. � � � �However, there are no restrictions on what Chung can ask Condit, who has been in virtual seclusion at his home in Ceres, Calif., during the month long congressional recess. � � � �NBC Washington bureau chief Tim Russert said Wednesday night that it was vital for Condit to "reconnect with the voters of his district." � � � �"He has to show real sympathy to the Levy family," Russert said on MSNBC's "The News With Brian Williams." (Saba note: Isn't this the most stupid crap you have ever read in your life....."he has to show real sympathy".....probably already taking crying lessons from Swaggart - bring out the kleenex......but get a load of this little boy with hand in cookie jar, but then makeup men do wonders....) � � � �Russert said Condit's staff was hoping Condit would convince voters that "he is not this monster that has been portrayed for the last three months" but instead was a "caring father and husband and man who made a mistake." � � � �"Democrats are holding their breath," Russert said. "They are extremely anxious about Gary Condit and his performance [Thursday] night. ... They don't believe any other California Democrat can hold that congressional seat," which Condit has managed to keep by portraying himself as a leader of so-called Blue Dog conservative Democrats. � � � �"If the polls don't improve for him and he can't win, don't look for the Democrats to stay loyal to him for very long," Russert said. SABA NOTE: So sayeth Tim Russert, CFR - with eyes of spaced out druggie for the truth is always in the eyes...... And oh note now it is a performance for which they wait? How stupid can one get - a performance? Like Jimmy Swaggart ....this man is a disgrace, this little twerp I mean for he surely is not a man and it looks like though he has indulged a little too much in the more earthy areas of life.
