 Satire not needed re fanatics proudly embracing medieval interpretations of Islam and thus exposing their dangerously mindless inability to grasp their
own backwardness, hatefulness and barbarity.·
By Jim
Wrenn, Editor at PoliSat.Com.
March 28, 2008--
As Western media outlets decide how they will treat Geert Wilders' film, "Fitna" (released
yesterday, March 27, 2008), the
question arises: Will classical Western liberalism exhibit resistance or submission?
Courage or capitulation? The same question must be asked about how Islamic media outlets that claim
to disavow such fanaticism will treat it. There are not grounds for serious optimism regarding
the latter, and it remains to be seen how much courage will be exhibited by the former.
Update: Now we know-- LiveLeak removed Fitna from it's servers in response to receipt of
serious threats to its staff members. Go
here for LiveLeak's explanation. Regarding he "Anatomy of a Face in
Fitna" (see image below-left), it's not the Fitna video, but it's relevant to it-- to learn
why, scroll further down for more information about it and for viewing it or click here. (Continued)

 Video
of early-morning call to Hillary Clinton from Eliot Spitzer on "red phone" reveals
Spitzer's plan to "more than make up" for her loss of him as superdelegate upon his
resignation as Governor.·
By Jim
Wrenn, Editor at PoliSat.Com.
March 13, 2008--
Hillary Clinton received a "heads up" call on the "red phone" in the
early-morning hours of March 12, 2008, from none other than Eliot Spitzer. Being highly
experienced in middle-of-the-night "red phone" calls, she handled it with élan.
Eager to deny rumors that Hillary at first thought the call was from Bill trying to disguise his
voice to sound like Spitzer, a spokesbeing for the Hillary 2008 Campaign said, "She knew all
along it was Spitzer."
When asked what was the purpose of the call, the spokesperson said Spitzer told Hillary he was
giving her a "heads up" that he would soon become ineligible
to be a super-delegate (or Super Delegate or superdelegate) for her, but he assured her
that he
would take effective steps that would more than offset her loss of his role as a superdelegate
supporting her. According to a reliable source who was in a position to eavesdrop on the
conversation (wiretaps on Spitzer are continuing), Hillary asked Spitzer whether his
"session" with the prostitute (Hillary doesn't use vulgar terms such as "hooker"
or "ho") was "worth" the price he'd ultimately pay, Spitzer said, "You
bet!" (continued)

 Secret
task force de-codes video of Sharon Stone eliciting terrorist-leaders' praise by exposing
"Basic Instinct" credentials in Mid-East interview calling 9-11 "pretext" for
Afghanistan and Iraq wars.·
By Jim
Wrenn, Editor at PoliSat.Com.
March 10, 2008--
An ultra-secret task force is releasing a just-recently-decoded video of Sharon Stone eliciting
praise from terrorist leaders by exposing her "Basic Instinct" credentials in a
Middle-East interview claiming
9-11 was a "pretext" by America for wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq. A member of the ultra-secret task force, who insisted on remaining
anonymous, said decoding the video frame-by-frame involved quite challenging decryption work that
began with software but couldn't be completed until they figured-out ways to overcome hardware
problems that arose in the process.
Until the de-coding and release of this video, which is entitled "Sharon Stone Basic Instinct
On Iraq," the only record of her interview was in the form of news
reports quoting transcripts of her statements and responses by well-known terrorist leaders praising
them. Because proper decoding of the video could not fully conceal participation by
a member of the task force in part of the process essential for showing the authenticity of the
process for capturing and converting the video images and accompanying audio, the commander of the
task force almost refused to permit its release ... (continued).

 YouTube
bans political satire video about Hillary Clinton just before Clinton/Obama contests in Texas/Ohio;
YouTube stays mum on whether for politics or video cleavage of Hillary or Sharon Stone.
By Jim
Wrenn,
Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com.
March 4, 2008--
YouTube banned political satire video about Hillary Clinton apparently in response to demands of
political hacks (or upon the initiative of political hacks within YouTube). As usual, YouTube
gives no reason, refuses to identify who demanded the ban or why, and refuses to respond to email
inquiries seeking to elicit such information.
Just yesterday (March 3, 2008), YouTube banned a PoliSat.Com satire/parody video featuring Sharon
Stone in a "HEICO" ad as an "actor" spokesperson for Hillary to show her
political sex appeal to both the Left and the Right. That same video now
"banned" by YouTube may still be available for viewing on Google Video (scroll-down to
view), but if not, it's still available for viewing in Windows Movie Video format at PoliSat.Com (here
and here)
and in the original context in the news
archives here).
That YouTube's banning of that video exemplifies the side of partisanship to which YouTube
genuflects is self-evident from viewing the content of the video. It's a free country, and
YouTube is a privately owned company. It has the right to be partisan but just not the
credibility to deny being so. Anyone not living under a rock already knows that both Google
and YouTube strongly and overtly favor the politics exemplified by the Hollywood Left (and virtually
worship Al Gore, who's currently trying to "rearrange
the icebergs" in the Global Cooling ice-pack headed towards the purportedly
unsinkable Global Warming Goretanic.)
What is the etymology of the video? What inspired it were statements by Hillary at a campaign
event when she rebuffed a question which she deemed to have implied that she lacked what was
necessary to confront "evil men" in the world. It wasn't long after that that she
sparked a lot of "buzz" when she wore a blouse showing a very slight hint of
"cleavage" while giving a speech in the senate. And of course, it had been quite a
long time before that when actress Sharon Stone (in an effort to garner publicity for her
then-being-released sequel to "Basic Instinct") held a news conference to announce to the
world her considered political judgment that Hillary was simply "too sexy" to be president
because "men" would be "intimidated" by her "sexuality." If this
isn't material suitable for satire or parody, what is?
Surely depictions of the roundness of breasts without exposing their maternally functional portions
is no more "riské" than the portions of breasts routinely exposed in pictures (and
YouTube videos) of women in bikini tops. Only the hopelessly Puritanical could find these
images offensive.
What about political correctness? Of course, one of the purposes of political satire and
parody is to be "politically incorrect." But no sensible person could seriously take
offense at the "husky" depiction of Hillary at the end of the video (to satirize her
attempt to negate the implication of some that she's "not tough enough" to confront
"evil men" in the world.) Would anyone have been offended by satirical
depiction of Margaret Thatcher as a "muscle man" when she directed the war in the Falklans?
Of course not, Her fans and admirers would have loved it. Wasn't Hillary trying to
depict herself as being as "tough" as, if not tougher than, Thatcher?
So, what's the problem with the video? Is it "offensive" to Sharon Stone, who denigrates
the sacrifices of our troops in statements to the foreign press (to garner more publicity
for herself) with impunity in the form of the liberty associated with American citizenship protected
by the very troops whose sacrifices she denigrates? So what if she's offended?
One would hope she's deeply offended, even though such hope would be unrealistic given the fact that
it's difficult, if not impossible, for shallow people to be "deeply" offended.

 Ad
about hot-line call to Hillary on red phone at White House and reply from Barack Obama remind voters
of John McCain's superior "experience" while YouTube bans political-satire video on
Hillary.·
By Jim
Wrenn,
Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com.
March 3, 2008--
Hillary Clinton's "red
phone" video/television ad is yielding an avalanche of news and commentary
exemplified in the Washington
Post, the Chicago
Tribune, the Baltimore
Sun, the Chicago
Sun Times, the New
York Daily News, the New
York Times, and the Los
Angeles Times, as well as in prestigious
political-commentary publications. Critics of the ad say it uses "fear
mongering." It's format and theme are quite simple in portraying children asleep
while asking the viewer "When the phone in the White House rings at 3:00 o'clock in the
morning, who do you want answering it?" PoliSat.Com's Washington Bureau
Drawer Chief has learned that despite the relative simplicity of the task of producing such video,
completion of the production, which began many months ago, proved to be quite challenging. (continued)

 Iceberg
in Chesapeake sinks Clintanic but Captain Hillary Clinton claims being torpedoed by "BaRack the
Vote Boat" weaponry of Barack Obama as Top Gun Maverick John McCain rockets
above.·
By Jim
Wrenn,
Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com.
February 13, 2008--
An iceberg in the Chesapeake
sank the Clintanic on February 12, 2008. Environmental activists supporting Captain Hillary
Clinton quickly blamed it on Global Warming having caused a glacier that recently broke-off from
Greenland to float into the Chesapeake. Thus, the "Potomac Primaries" (also known as
the "Chesapeake Primaries") have sparked a "Global Warming" controversy.
PoliSat.Com's Washington Bureau Drawer Chief tried unsuccessfully to contact Al Gore for an official
response, but one of his Cardinals said he is en route to a Global Warming Concert in the
environmentally friendly GoreMobile
invented by none other than Gore himself after he broke the "Da
Gorgle Code."
In contrast, however, a spokesman for Hillary claimed that the Clintanic was actually torpedoed by
the "Barack The Vote
Boat" weaponry of Barack Obama as Top
Gun Maverick John McCain rocketed
overhead in search of that Russian
"Bear" Bomber that "buzzed" the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier group.
A Gore spokesman learning about Hillary's claim of being "torpedoed" by Obama rather than
having struck an iceberg in the Chesapeake said, "Hillary's always been a Global Warming poseur
unschooled in the real science of Da Gorgle Code of Global Warming as is our "Supreme Carbon
Footprint Podiatrist."
What surprised some naval experts is that Captain Clinton did not issue an "abandon ship"
order. Instead, she (continued)

 Barack
Obama wins Grammy for "BaRack The Vote" to "Rock the Boat" for "Change for
America" as Hillary Clinton seeks duet with Obama while John McCain wins "Top Gun
Maverick" Grammy.·
By
Jim Wrenn,
Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com.
February 11, 2008--
Barack Obama wins
another Grammy -- this one for "BaRack The Vote" to "Rock the Boat"
for "Change for America" as Hillary
Clinton tries to persuade Obama
to rejoin her in a political
duet while John McCain wins award as "Top
Gun Maverick." Meanwhile, both ardent and grudging supporters of McCain agree
that the decisive question to be answered by voters in November, 2008, is: "Who
do you want to be in charge when the expletive deleted hits the fan?"
Some political experts think Obama is on the verge of rocketing past Hillary, but others think
Hillary has a "secret plan" to "win the nomination." Anonymous sources say
it's modeled on Richard Nixon's "secret plan" to win in Vietnam, which he later revealed
to be "Vietnamization." Those sources say Hillary's "secret plan" to win
the nomination is called "Latinomization." Thus the struggle between Obamalot and
Clintalot/Bubbalot to succeed the magical Kingdom of Camelot goes on. Many political
experts were surprised that Hillary won in the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts (also known
as "The Land of the Peoples Cube")
despite Obama's recent surge and despite Tawdrid, brother of the fallen King of Camelot,
having placed Excalibur on Obama's Left Shoulder and pronounced him King Obamthur of Obamalot.
Other insiders think Obama also has a "secret plan" to win the nomination-- It's called
"De-Clintonization." Even though Obama embraces far-left policies and espouses a
Chamberlainist form of foreign policy, he has thus far adapted an approach from Ronald Reagan's
campaigning strategy-- Exhibiting good-natured optimism and appealing to the better nature of
non-ideological Americans. In essence, he's trying to be a Ronald Reagan of the Left.
His not-so-subtle "De-Clintonization" plan echoes George W. Bush's not-so-subtle promise
in campaigning in 2000 to "clean up the mess in the Oval Office." (continued)

 John
McCain's surge facilitates contrast between Top Gun Maverick and both Barack Obama and Hillary
Clinton on who voters would want in cockpit when "the [terrorist] stuff hits the fan" in
jihadists' war.·
By
Jim Wrenn,
Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com.
February 10, 2008--
John McCain's post-Florida/post-Romney-withdrawal emergence in Campaign
2008 as the virtually certain winner of the Republican nomination for President for the
2008 Election (despite Mike Huckabee continuing in search of a "miracle") presents a sharp
contrast with what is likely to emerge from the currently deadlocked Democrat race between Barack
Obama and Hillary Clinton-- i.e., a Clinton/Obama ticket or an Obama/Clinton ticket (see
paragraph below beginning with "Some doubt"). Thus, it's already time for voters
to begin asking themselves about the most fundamental difference between McCain as the candidate on
the one hand and either a Hillary/Barack or Barack/Hillary ticket on the other. Some
conservatives think there's not a "dime's worth of difference" between what would be the
domestic policies of a Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton administration, but even McCain's most ardent
critics recognize that sharp differences emerge "at the water's edge." At the
present, Obama
seems to be strengthening his post-South-Carolina "surge" against Hillary in a
way similar to the way McCain surged against Romney in Florida. (Continued)

 Super-Thursday
Romney/McCain Alliance Prepares Political Battlefield Against Essence of Hillary Clinton and/or

By
Jim Wrenn,
Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com.
February 7, 2008--
The Super-Thursday
alliance between Mitt
Romney and John
McCain prepares the political battlefield against the Essence
of Hillary Clinton and/or Barack Obama as would-be Monarchs of the putative Kingdoms of
Clintalot (a.k.a. Bubbalot) and/or Obamalot.
In contrast, the Super-Tuesday battle between Obama and Clinton yielded a stand-off between the
monarchs of those two rival putative kingdoms of Clintalot/Bubbalot
and Obamalot. Barack draws support mostly from the YOUTH (Young Offspring Unexposed to
History) vote expected to be inspired by themes emulating MTV's "rock the vote" campaign
to "educate" young voters (see above-right video). Hillary draws her most
ardent support from the GOTBOH Gals (the "Government Ought To Be Our Husbands" Gals), who
have now eclipsed the famed "Soccer Moms," who supported our First Black President, Bill
"Bubba" Clinton. For elucidation on the "Essence of Hillary," see the

February 1, 2008--
In 2008 when the Super Bowl game, our yearly tradition as Liberty's Game, rewards its contestants
with fortune and fame, it's right to remember the joys of the game are viewed through a window by
liberty framed. Though mainly a window performs by its panes enabling our vision of sights
through its frame, a function more subtle occurs when its panes send partial reflections like
mirrors that frame a view of ourselves as we look through its frame. And keen eyes perceive
watching Liberty's Game ourselves
in reflection by liberty framed and thus are reminded of who we should name as MVP
players in Liberty's Game: Our
Troops as protectors of Liberty's Frame.

While there's much discussion in the media about Hillary
Clinton's campaign putting Bill Clinton on a shorter leash, inside the campaign Bill is

white, too old and too un-sexy," and remembering that Janet Jackson had previously expressed
her support for Hillary, he arranged for Hillary and himself to join Janet Jackson and Justin
Timberlake for a 2008 reprise of the "wardrobe malfunction" half-time show. This
year's show will feature new high-tech special effects such that with both couples "on the

Super Bowl ads on Global Warming provide half-time debut for "GoreMobile" invented by Al

be impressed.·
By Jim Wrenn, Editor
and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com.
January 27, 2008--
2008 Super Bowl ads on Global Warming provide half-time debut for the "GoreMobile"
invented by Al Gore to "end dependence on fossil fuels." While the collective
professoriate engage in self-congratulatory self-description of an academic consortium as
the "super bowl" of "scientific" knowledge on "global warming," people
with better sense mock the global-warming theology paraded by academia as scientific
"knowledge."
The absence of severe hurricanes in the 2006 and 2007 seasons following dire
predictions in 2005 in the immediate wake of Hurricane Katrina by "experts" on
"global warming" that Katrina was the "first" of what would become a plague of
super-hurricanes "caused" by "global warming" has led people misled by such
claims to now recognize such assertions by such "experts" as expressions of theology
rather than scientific knowledge. In contrast, such absence of severe hurricanes in
2006 and 2007 has prompted
"experts" on "global warming" to now claim (with straight
faces and without apology) that the "scientific" evidence now shows that
"global warming" actually reduces the risks of such super-hurricanes. Except in the
field of global-warming theology, this is called "heads we win, tails you lose." (Continue

 Hillary
2008 Super-Bowl Ad rebuts Barack Obama and John Edwards with political sex-appeal outdoing Janet
Jackson in her "Naked-Silhouette Spinning-Hillary" Half-Time Show narrated by Bill Clinton.·
By Jim
Wrenn, Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com.
January 23, 2008--
.
Entering the annual Super-Bowl
ads competition, the Hillary 2008 Super-Bowl ad not only rebuts criticisms of Hillary Clinton by Barack Obama and
John Edwards but also out-does Janet Jackson by exposing Hillary's political sex-appeal with her
"Naked-Silhouette Spinning-Hillary" half-time show doubling as an ad in her Campaign
2008. Many observers say this 2008 Super-Bowl ad out-does and out-classes both of her 2007
Super Bowl ads (as an early start for her Campaign 2008) -- one of which compared Hillary's
"cleavage" with Sharon Stone's cleavage, and the other of which compared Hillary's flash
of "Basic Political Instinct" with Sharon Stones famous flash of "Basic
Instinct. (Those ads are preserved here
in PoliSat.Com's permanent archives.) Many observers now claim the half-time Super Bowl
ads have become
"bigger" than the game itself. Indeed, some sports purists fear
this excessive "commercialization" of the professional football's "Super Bowl"
may lead to a return of baseball to its former status as America's "National
Pastime." (Continued)

While Time magazine names Russia's
Vladimir Putin "Man of the Year" and most of the rest of the so-called

nominations for President in 2008, few are paying attention to what historians may recognize
as a historical re-definition of "lame duck" by President George Bush thanks to the
military ingenuity of General David Petraeus, the courage and tenacity of our troops and
Bush's own dogged determination. Harry Truman, much maligned in the waning years of his
presidency yet much revered today for his dogged determination for classical Western
liberalism to forcefully resist the expansionist goals of Stalinist and Maoist
totalitarianism, must be not only turning over in his grave at the defeatist stance adopted by
those currently in control of his party but also turning green with envy regarding Bush's
re-definition of the term "lame duck president." (Continued)

sullied the reputation of Baseball and a number of current and recent top players induce disgust in
most sports fans, but they simultaneously induce in many sports fans into nostalgic recollections of
truly great players in Baseball's history. Few could outrank Ted Williams in this category.
Williams was not only a great baseball player, he also was a great American.
Recollection of the legend of Williams sheds light on a different story that historians will
consider to have been the "sports" story of the year: America relearning the
end-game strategy of its former "National Past-Time." It's not to disparage
football to draw attention to the fact that (except in playoff games) football subjects the end-game
strategies of participants to arbitrary time constraints whereas baseball requires participants to
continue the struggle until a victor emerges (absent, of course, one side committing the heretofore
unheard-of act of forfeiting). Intuitively understanding this end-game strategy of what
was still America's "national past-time" throughout most of the 20th Century until the
mid-to-late 1960's, preceding, during, and for nearly two decades after, the generation that fought
and won World War II knew the struggle between totalitarianism and liberty to be one in which

 2007 Year in Review:
Political jury still out on whether Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton will score knockout as 2001
drafts of "Dueling Memoirs" of Hillary and Bill Clinton emerge from archives.·
December
26, 2007-- by Jim Wrenn, Editor, PoliSat.Com.
In what is proving to be the title-match
of the century thus far, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama continue knocking each other,
but the political jury is still out on which one will score the knockout punch in their bout to
determine who will win the nomination to run as the Democrat Party's candidate for president in
2008. Many experts who so glibly embraced the notion months ago that Hillary's nomination was
"inevitable" and that after securing the nomination she would have the Machiavellian
insight to name Barack as her running mate now wonder whether her best hope may be for him to name
her as his running mate, but virtually everyone agrees that she would find such choice wholly
unpalatable.
Nevertheless, stranger things have happened in politics. One only needs to recall that George
Herbert Walker Bush agreed to become Reagan's running mate despite his and Reagan's quite harsh
criticisms of each other during their respective campaigns in 1980. At that time, G.H.W. Bush
was running on his resumé against Reagan as an "outsider" running as an agent for
"change" just as just as Hillary is now attempting to run on her so-called "resumé"
against Obama casting himself as an "outsider" running as an agent for "change."
Meanwhile, not only is John Edwards hoping they'll both knock each other out, so are the die-hard
supporters of former foamer Vice-President
Al Gore in the "Draft-Gore" campaign. (Continued)

 Christmas
thanks to our troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world are being sent in record numbers, and
PoliSat.Com joins the effort with Christmas Thanks to Troops video.·
December
23, 2007-- By Jim Wrenn, Editor, PoliSat.Com.
In record numbers, Americans are sending
thanks to our troops this Christmas. PoliSat.Com joins in this effort with
the following message and accompanying video.
This Christmas, if science had knowledge to forge a way to go backwards to time's distant shores, I
think a particular Christmas of yore would help to remind us what soldiers at war endured so that
freedom took root on our shores: In years backward 30 plus two hundred more-- 'Twas Christmas
endured in a Valley named Forge.
While most of their countrymen gathered in warmth to celebrate Christmas, those solidiers at war
endured at their posts though their feelings were torn 'twist country and fam'ly, the burdens
they'd born they knew to be worthy and knew there'd be more, but knowing the value of freedom they'd
forge they stayed at their posts against tyranny's force.
And likewise go back a mere sixty-three years at Christmas when evil was bulging the fears of
soldiers surrounded as Christmas-time neared who nevertheless carried-on despite fears secure in
their knowledge that all they held dear to evil might lose unless THEY persevered, and triumph they
did during Christmas that year.
And back to the Christmas at present, we know though winning we are there's a long way to go for
those who for us into danger did go, so we who are basking in liberty's glow do owe it to them to
make sure that they know how thankful we are they courageously go where danger abides so that
freedom can grow.
If reading the text up above makes your mind believe it is written in rhythm and rhyme, and so, if
you mind likes stanzas and lines, scroll down for the verses in stanzas and lines: (Continued)

Bill
Clinton takes break from Hillary's Campaign 2008 by giving best tour ever of Clinton Library not to
be confused with Clinton Liebrary.·
December
21, 2007-- By Jim Wrenn, Editor, PoliSat.Com.
Bill Clinton's taking a break from helping Hillary's
Campaign 2008 by giving tours of the Clinton Library, not to be confused with the Clinton
Liebrary. Less slim than when he was last seen on the campaign trail yesterday, it
appears he must have resumed his fondness for Big Macs. Otherwise, he looks and sounds like
the same ole Bubba we saw several years ago. Most who've taken the tour agree that it's the
best tour ever.
Some political experts claim the video is an old one, but watching it carefully makes it obvious
that it was just recently recorded. Political insiders say it's a test-video for a new
fund-raising technique in which Bill will license display of the video tour in exchange for
contributions to Hillary's campaign for the 2008 nomination. Either way, the video tour is in
the process of becoming a big hit among both his fans and his detractors. One might ask,
"How is that possible?" However, the answer is immediately apparent from watching
the video.
Some observers think this "Clinton Library Tour" video is related to another video
recently released by the Archivist at the Clinton Liebrary (to be
confused with the Clinton Library) without Hillary's permission, but the Archivist says the two are
entirely unrelated. Rumors abound that Hillary is extremely angry about the release, which
exposes the 2001 versions of her and Bill's drafts of their memoirs, then to be titled "Dueling
Memoirs."
but
Meanwhile, Hillary and Barack are continuing to "knock" each other in the campaign.
The shocking texts of their 2001 drafts for the "Dueling Memoirs" are here.

 Lame-duck
George Bush delivers swift kick in butt to anti-Iraq-war donkeys Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi on
funding for troops and mission in Iraq.·
December
20, 2007-- By Jim Wrenn, Editor,
PoliSat.Com.
Victimized by their own self-defeating strategy in the November, 2006, elections (i.e.,
recruiting a number of non-leftist Democrat candidates to defeat vulnerable Republican incumbents),
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi succumbed to "lame duck" George Bush's political power
(revitalized by increasingly undeniable evidence of success of the "surge" in Iraq) by passing
legislation including Iraq-war funding without attaching strings to snatch defeat from the gradually
closing jaws of victory. (More reports about this are here,
here
and here.)
Is Bush a "lame duck" on steroids or have the donkeys morphed into baby turkeys?
Did politicians catering to the far Left go a bridge too far? More likely a series of bridges
too far. (Continued)

 First
drafts of memoirs of Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton released without Hillary's permission by
archivist at Clinton Liebrary (to be confused with Clinton Library) reveal bawdy poetry.·
December
18, 2007-- By Jim Wrenn, Editor, PoliSat.Com.
Amidst the still-raging
, sometimes
acrimonious and often
comical but seemingly
never-ending controversy over Hillary Clinton's refusal to authorize public
access to all archives in the Clinton
Library (also known as the Clinton Presidential Center), the unauthorized release of
the first drafts of her
and Bill's memoirs by the archivist
at the Clinton Liebrary are generating
political shock-waves. One of the most unusual things about those drafts is that on
instructions from their first prospective publisher, the Clintons wrote them in the form of poetry
rather than prose with each of them writing alternating stanzas. Bill wanted the title to be
"The Billary/Hillary Dueling Memoirs," but Hillary wanted it to be "The Hillary/Billary
Dueling Memoirs." Regarding the current controversy over the archives, a prominent
talking-point disseminator for the Hillary Clinton campaign, Media
Matters.Org, expresses the view that the archives controversy is much ado about nothing
except in the mind of the Darth Vader of the Right, Karl Rove, and thus tacitly and preemptively
implies that if Barack Obama were to criticize Hillary's handling of the "archives" issue
he would simply be acting as a stooge for Rove. (Continued)

Al
Gore's private slip-of-tongue at UN climate conference in Bali admits George
Bush exhibited effort to stop Global Warming in private meeting following White House Nobel Prize
ceremony.·
December
14, 2007-- By Jim Wrenn, Editor, PoliSat.Com.
Although headlines about the UN
conference on Global Warming in Bali on December 13, 2007, trumpet Al Gore's attack on
the U.S. and President George Bush as "obstacles" to "progress," PoliSat.Com's
Washington Bureau Drawer Chief has learned from a highly reliable (though sometimes reliably high)
source that in a private, unguarded moment at the Bali conference Gore made a slip-of-the tongue
admission that in a private meeting following the recent White House ceremony honoring Gore and
other winners of the Nobel Prize for Peace Bush had exhibited a strong commitment to help Gore stop
Global Warming. (Scroll further down for PoliSat.Com's exclusive video of that private meeting
between Gore and Bush following the White House ceremony.) (Continued)

 Oprah
Winfrey's escalating support for Barack Obama simultaneously reduces Obama's need to
"knock" Hillary Clinton and increases Hillary's need to knock Barack.·
December
11, 2007-- By Jim Wrenn, Editor, PoliSat.Com.
PoliSat.Com's Washington Bureau Chief says Oprah
Winfrey's new escalation
of her support
for Barack Obama from endorser
to campaigner
reduces Barack's need to "knock" Hillary while simultaneously intensifying
Hillary's need to
"knock" Barack and political
pressure against her doing so. (With respect to one
of the several YouTube video clips of Hillary saying "the fun parts starts now" to preface
her statement that she will begin "drawing contrasts" between "other"
candidates-- e.g., Obama-- and herself, it's interesting that attempting to play it yields a
YouTube explanation that the video is "no longer available" and/or is "a private
video.) (Continued)

 Hillary
Clinton and Barack Obama sing "I Knock You, Babe" Duet for Political Grammy Awards.·
December
9, 2007-- By Jim Wrenn, Editor, PoliSat.Com.
Reports that Clinton and Obama will be "competing"
at the upcoming Grammys Award ceremonies are fueling speculation about whether Hillary and
Barack will be competing "against" each other or "with" each other against
others for a Grammy. Music industry insiders have anonymously disclosed to PoliSat.Com's
Washington Bureau Drawer Chief that both Hillary and Barack will be nominated for "Best
Political Song of the 2008 Campaign" and that they both have an inside track to
win.
How could they both have the inside track to
win? According to the inside sources, the reason they both have the inside track to win is
that they will be jointly nominated for their duet titled "I Knock You Babe," which
is steadily rising on YouTube
Charts but also is becoming more popular in its better-quality original video
format (continued).

 Rudy
Giuliani's cheap-shot at Mitt Romney in CNN/YouTube debate about illegal aliens working at his
mansion proves to be bullseye instead and sharpens focus on illegal immigration.·
December
5, 2007-- Jim Wrenn, Editor, PoliSat.Com.
The latest
episode in the recent exchanges of political jabs between Rudy Giuiliani and Mitt Romney
over employment of illegal aliens brings back into focus the virtually collective nature of
political responsibility for a massive political and legal problems flowing from such activity.
Although I personally favor Giuliani, I was disappointed by what I deemed his "cheap shot"
at Romney about the prior incidents of employment of illegal aliens in work at Romney's mansion.
Romney's response that -- none of us would expect a homeowner to investigate the citizen/resident
status of workers employed by a reputable contractor employed by the homeowner-- made it
obvious why Giuliani's jab at Romney appeared to be a "cheap shot." However, maybe it
wasn't so "cheap" after all. According to the article linked above, Romney decided to give
that contractor a "second chance." (FYI, in case it matters, I'm inclined to prefer
Giuliani over anyone else seeking the nomination for 2008, but I have no relationship to his, or to
anyone else's, campaign.) (Continued)
