| Tyrannical said: Isn't he the guy that arranged that 500k bribe to get Clinton to pardon some guy on the FBI's most wanted list guy? Wanted for tax evasion and dealing with Iran during the hostage crisis in the late 70's. Was on the lam in Switzerland until his wife made a big 500k contribution to the Clinton library. All we need is another corrupt Chicago politician running the justice department. |
That's addressed in the article if you would actually read it...and he admitted he was wrong on numerous occasions and that he would have done it differently now. That's 100x better than people in the Justice Department currently who abused their positions of authority and could care less that they violated the Constitution on numerous occasions.
There is a difference between making mistakes and admitting you made them and expressing regret for those mistakes compared to making mistakes and having no remorse for doing so.
Pretty much everyone in a position of authority has done something wrong at sometime or another. The difference is that some people simply don't care whereas others regret abusing/mishandling that authority.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
