Last night on WHYY Channel 12, at 7 PM EDT on The News Hour With Jim Lehrer, Janet Reno was interviewed by Jim Lehrer and answered every question brought up by this string, and more. Following the questions and answers section, the Republican Senator from Pennsylvania, Arlin Spector (you remember--the progenator of the "Single Bullet Theory" --that blasted through Kennedy's skull, paused in mid-air for a few seconds, turned, and wounded Connelly--shattering his bones, and ended up in pristine condition, lying on the gurney in the hospital -- Arlin Spector; the pubic-hair-on-the-coke-can Arlin Spector, who tore into Anita Hill's reluctant testamony to congress about her abusive boss, turning the victem into the villan as it ever was and is when a woman accuses a man of sexual misconduct, the axeman Arlin Spector, from the "Land of Giants", who never saw a dirty job he couldn't handle to advance the cause of partisan politics and keep the whole truth blurred or even hidden from an apathetic electorate, mister muddy waters himself) sputtered and spouted a weak and unconvincing rebuttal--his jowels hanging low--flashing me back to the Checkers speach of another infamous Republican from this country's shameful past.The district court ruling that the boy could speak for himself, and the three petitions written, signed and sent-in by the Miami relatives "but expressing the wishes of the child" were given due process, and the initial court ruling was overturned, and custody awarded to the father, and the jusridiction was clearly Federal and not State, and all the rights of everyone were protected under the full weight of the Rule of Law and the Constitution. Everything was legal, everything was proper. The boy is required by court order to stay in this country until this is resolved by due process. You can be certain that the poor boy will not be allowed to go back to Cuba with his father and siblings until the last appeal is exhausted--and even then I'd be surprised if some kind of deal is not worked-out that eveyone ends up a US citizen--should that be their heart's desire. Everyone will have an equal and fair chance to make their claim--even Castro, assuming he's still alive or in power when this is over.
But I know Trent Lott wants to go through another congressional investigation, and perhaps another impeachment hearing is in order, because God knows that's all his kind know how to do, since they can't do anyone any good, except to keep themselves on TV as the election draws nearer by causing constant suffering of the weak, like that poor child, the powerless, like his father, the "innocent" and easily maniplated, like Paula Jones, and yes like Linda Tripp,--the stupid and trecherous. That's how they make their living. Trent and Jesse and all their kind love this old divide and conquer tactic--it always works. And that pussy Gore is wishy-washing his way out of comitting to any point of view that might offend a voter or a source of campaign funds--aren't we surprised by that! And the press plays along, for truely, if anyone is completely lacking in morals, character, a code of ethics, and a sense of human decency, it is the Fourth Estate, accountable to no-one--oh, except for those newspapers and television stations that are wholy-owned subsidiaries of Phillip Morris, or any number of the Fortune 500. You can't trust anyone.
Now I don't hold any ill feelings against those who hate the President, hate Janet Reno, hate anyone that Rush tells them to hate--because I know those people are pathetic, and deserving of our fogiveness and sympathy, but mostly because they don't vote, which is why Clinton is a two-term president, and survived impeachment, and why the only thing turned-up by the most intensive and expensive and longest-lasting personal investigation in the history of the world--an investigation that continues, at taxpayer expense, to this day--has discovered that men--any man--is, will be, can be, stupid about sex, again and again, and can't seem to help it, no matter who they are or who might find out about it--and when cornered will lie about it, again and again, because sex is a private matter between consenting adults, and that's the way it should stay, and the majority of voting citizens don't want the Republican party looking at their privates, no matter where they choose to share them or with whom. I think that's called Natural Selection--and it's been pretty effective at populating the Earth with humans, and pretty good at eliminating the "sexually self-controlled" from the gene pool. But Ken Starr, the patron saint of the tobacco industry, didn't know this, because back at Pepperdine they don't teach the Theory of Evolution, because the world is only about 5000 years old, and there wasn't time what with all the wire-tapping and good cop/ bad cop sweat-them-out-in-the-cooler classes and all, so he can be excused for his foolish waste of your time and money, this time, especially since he himself has admitted he should have quit long ago. Ken, you sick bastard, I forgive you, but in case you haven't noticed, your partisan "friends" have not, so watch your back--they are gonna "get" somebody-they're still mad as hell that they can't seem to get the Silent Majority to go along. For every foaming-mad complainer about the way the Justice department "handled" this case, there's hundreds that think the boy belongs with his father--months ago.
I'm glad you gave me the opportunity to vent, and agree with "late" that I too think that finally something good for this motherless son has happened, and we should leave partisan infighting out of it, and leave that family alone to solve their differences legally, away from the prying eyes of the world, and the political opportunists.
Good things will come of this. We strive to look for the Good in everyone, always. That is the way of Christ. That is a traditonal family value. More than any single thing, it is the laws of this county, fairly enforced and upheld, that has made America the dream of men both free and oppressed the world over. It is the law-givers, from Moses to the Founding Fathers, whose legacy is a vision of the right way to live, to whom we owe all we have and hope to have, and those who are tasked to enforce the law are deserving of every respect, courtesy, and support we are able to give. Janet Reno is following a tradition that passes back into the very dawn of human society. We owe her a great debt for taking on the monumental burden she carries, and for what she represents.
